Chapter 2


This is Derek Stevenson. A 25-year-old business graduate from Harvard school of business.

He was born to Robert and Maria Stevenson. He was their only son besides their daughter, Alice. Both the younger Stevenson had their mother's fair complexion and kind heart.

Maria always taught her children to become a good human being having a noble soul. Both Robert and Maria loved their children. They wanted to see them become good humans more than anything else. But Robert didn't live to see that. Robert died in a car crash when Derek was just 18. Alice was 15.

Both the children were heartbroken to lose their father. Derek was in college at the time. He was greatly affected by the incident. As he was very young to take over the charge of their company, so his mother took over for him. Maria was an intelligent woman and ran the business successfully. But now she wanted Derek to take over the business. She wanted to look after her daughter now.

Although Alice was not her little girl anymore she still wanted to take care of her as she had missed her daughter during her teens. Running a big business empire like Stevenson's was not an easy task. It ate up all her energy and time.

Derek was remembering about everything he and his family had to sacrifice to get to this point in his life. He had always wanted to run the Stevenson enterprises just like his parents. It was his childhood dream. Today, this dream came true.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Derek jumped out of his thoughts. He went to sit on his chair and corrected his appearance before answering the knock.

"Yes, come in." He said in a low voice.
He always talked in a low voice. Everyone in his family talked like that. A young woman opened the door and stepped inside.

"Good morning, sir. My name is Rosaline Jacobs. I am your personal assistant."  She said with a beautiful smile.

Rosaline was 20, just out of college. But she had to work to support herself after her mother's death. She had tried getting a job in many companies but she couldn't get a job anywhere. After many months of unemployment and frustration, she found a job opening as a personal assistant of the CEO of Stevenson enterprises. She wanted this job. She fitted the eligibility criteria. She didn't want to lose this opportunity. She got her CV submitted. She was called for an interview and got the job. She was the happiest the day she got her appointment letter. She was very happy to have a job. She had a job which she loved doing.

Derek observed her. She was a beautiful girl with a trim figure. She was wearing a peach-colored shirt with a black pant. Her hair was the color of dark chocolate pulled up in a high ponytail. She wore spectacles. She had thin lips and a pretty little nose. To cut it short, she was very pretty and Derek liked her personality.

"Good morning, Miss Jacobs." Her boss replied with a smile. She liked his new boss instantly because he smiled when she wished him. Most of the people didn't even know how to smile in the office.

"Sir, is there anything you want me to do?" She asked him sweetly.

"Nothing, Miss Jacobs. Thank you," he replied

"If you need anything, I'm right outside. Just call me,"  she said to him going backward. She left the room and went to sit at her desk.

"He is quite intimidating for his age, Rosie. Don't you think? He's got eyes like his mother." she murmured to herself.
