"How do i overthink so much and then still make the wrong decision."
_________________________________
Again late.
Running in the office is not what professionals do but yeah exceptions are always there and I'm that fucking exception. Ashton waving me and revealing his white teeth "Hey, Ash ".

"Where's my stuff ". I say it loud and got attention but I just ignore them.
"Maybe it shifted to your new office.." he whispers.

"Oh, freak.." I place my hand on my forehead. I forget about him. He's gonna kill me.

I rushed to my office i.e opposite Mr.Devil's room. Placing my bag on the desk, arrange hairs with fingers quickly.

"Okay calm down... Be normal ". I advised myself.

Grab the files that he gave me yesterday and with a deep breath, I  make my way to the devil's den.

I knock on the door. No answer. Again I knock on the door. I listened to some voices on another side of the room. I place my ear on the door to hear the voices properly. I know this is ethically wrong. Suddenly someone opened the door and crap, I fell on the floor again.

Holy crap...!!!!

I  smiled sheepishly and my face instantly flush. Mr.Devil is staring at me with those questioning eyes. And he is not wearing his coat and sleeves are rolled down on his arms perfectly, two buttons are undone and his hair, they are messy umm that give him a sexy look. Wait he looks sleepy. Didn't he sleep.?.
"Miss Reed".. and that creepy voice take me out from my little admiring world. One and only Max the creep staring at me with those filthy eyes.

He gives me a hand to help me stand. Like hell, I'm gonna accept any help from this creep. Grabbing files instantly I stand on my own.

"Max I'll talk to you later." Mr.Devil closes the door after him and moves back to his desk and I followed him like a good secretary. I place files on his desk.
"What are you doing here Miss Reed", he asks me while sitting on the chair with a calm voice.

"I already go through all these files. What I have to do next."??

"Okay". He takes a pause. "What am asking is what were you doing on the door before. Are you eavesdropping..??" He raised his eyebrows.

I bit my lower lip in anxiety. "Nah.. not at all, I was trying to open the door because I already knock twice and you didn't reply..I'm concerned".

(okay that's a complete lie ..concerned ..who?..me ..never gonna happen..) and I-
He interrupted me in between didn't even let me make a pleasing story.

"So you think you can come into my office without my permission"..? Leaning on the chair, crossing arms on the chest he scowled.
I cursed under my breath though I did a mistake. My subconscious reply to me Behave.."I'm sorry sir. I'll never do that again.". On which dark time I accept his offer I cursed myself instead.

He caresses his jaw. "See Miss Reed, I don't like to hear sorry because that's just a word that we randomly say to anyone. Make sure you don't do anything inappropriate that you have to use this irrelevant word. Now take this file and check all these accounts and numbers before dawn".

Fuck!!. I cursed him while grabbing the file and move back to my office.

Ugh ... I smashed the file on my desk. This room is quite small than his, of course, it's the secretary's room. And a glass attached to the front wall that connected to the hallway.

"Bloody hell.."
How I didn't notice it in the first place. Quickly I opened the door and check if everything is visible from the hallway or not and crap my place is full-fledged visible from here. I get back to my room and close the door. What's the matter of even closing the door, there's no privacy here. Maybe he keeps an eye on me or another secretary's who works for him. Or maybe I can keep an eye on him. A devilish grin played on my lips. Examining the room first I open a little window to get some fresh air. The view of the city from this window is quite fascinating. Massive buildings. Tiny human beings with their tiny problems.

I get back to work and check all the accounts though I had an account subject in college so it's quite easy for me I have other stuff too that creep gave me. I know he tries to make things difficult for me. But But But. It's not that easy to break Olivia Reed. Olivia is much stronger than they think. I survived things that they don't even imagine. And they think I'm gonna scare with these little game plans. Hah...poor guy

I lie my head on the desk for a while.  At least you can take a rest for just 15minutes Olivia. It's your right. You already finished the whole work. I think there's no problem if I'll give this file after few minutes to Mr.Devil. I set alarm for 15 minutes in case my brain show some resistance.

Whilst my subconscious warns me about this idea. It thinks that the resistance of my brain is quite strong. I bite my tongue. Like hell!! I don't know that.. but still, I need a nap of just 15. I wave my hands in the air to vanish all thoughts and get back to lay my head on the desk.

There's a knock on the door. Again a hard knock on the door. I straighten my dress and hair and say come in. The most unexpected person in his expensive black  suit enters into my room." Mr. Devil" I murmur .. Holy shit. I place my hand on my mouth."Boss "
I pushed the chair backward.
"Do you need anything" ??.. I ask.

"Yes actually " ..he takes steps towards me.
I gulp down a lump of saliva shocked by his gestures. His steps slowly move towards me whilst I move backward in reaction. what's going on..??
"Do you need anything ??" I again asked.
My back touches the wall where without uttering a word, he placed his one hand parallel to my face, his warm breath giving me goosebumps. My mouth went dry. Is he going to kiss me? No. shake my head so that I can rid of these thoughts. Slightly his other hand moves on my back, sending butterflies to my stomach.  My heart started pounding fast in my chest. What's going on?. Why the hell did I even let him come so close to me?. He pulled me more closer set a little gap between us. I felt blood in my mouth then I realized that I'm biting my lower lip in anxiety. What should I do?

"I need you,  Olivia.". And the words come out from his soft lips. My legs felt like jelly. I'm going to faint.
"I need you in the conference hall."

"What"..? I narrowed my eyes. And he pops up my romantic bubble with his needle-like words.

"Yea, you are my secretary right. Don't tell me you are suffering from short-term memory loss..". He raised his eyebrows.

"First I need some personal space. So will you". Crossing arms on the chest I vanish all those cheesy thoughts.  He moves backward and leans on the door crossing his arms on his chest.

"And second I'm not suffering from any disease. Okay ".

He checks the time on his watch and Yawns ignores what I just said .."Are you done" ..?

"Huh.."I squinch my eyes. How he comes to become the CEO of this company when he doesn't even know how to speak with a girl.

"We are getting late Miss Reed. Grab that file " I grab that file quickly and follow him. My heel bump into the chair and all those pages were decorated on the floor with me.

"What's your problem, Miss Reed? Can't you just do one work just one without even falling"??.
He's staring at me with those annoying eyes again check the time. Then Helped me arranging pages quickly. I followed him into the hallway.

"I never met a girl who is so unprofessional. Just look at your face". I'm confused about what he is talking about. I look at my dress.  I'm wearing a skirt with a shirt, heels. What else he wants?

He pulled out his latest i phone from his pocket and showed me my face. I'm shocked there's blue ink on my left cheek. I look out for tissue but I don't have any. He pulled out his handkerchief and gave it to me. I quickly accept it and started rubbing it on my cheek. Gazing at me with those mesmerizing blue eyes. Apart from his behavior, those eyes are the most beautiful thing. He grabbed his handkerchief harshly from my hand and grab my face with his warm yet rough hand and gently clean the pen mark himself.
What is he trying to do? A few minutes back he is an asshole and now pretending to be a gentleman. Okay, this is not good. Everyone is staring at us."I'll do this sir, you don't have to"

"Quite !!... Miller's have a reputation and you need to maintain that, you are my secretary." He clears the locks of my chair with his fingers.

" Better". Check me out one last time. I felt like a dummy and my legs feel jelly again when he touches my hair and his harsh yet warm hands sending shivers to my spine. He entered the conference room and I followed him. It's not a myth that gossips spread like fire, it's fucking true. Everyone, I mean every freaking single person staring at me. I shortly hear someone, "There's something between them."

I looked down and run to my seat next to Mr.Devil. I felt in between the meeting many eyes stuck on me. I  Ugh. I never get embarrassed so much. I want to shout. There's fucking nothing between us. 

I looked up. Mr.Devil already gazing at me. Then he noticed the other guys who are staring at me. His jaw tightens and clenched his hands. I looked down and ignore everything in further meetings. 
Finally, the meeting is over and I get a sigh of relief. Those creeps already left the room and others too. I collect all the files like a good secretary closes the door behind me. I make my way towards my room. It's almost half past 6. I increase my pace when suddenly someone hollered my name.

"Miss Reed, Why so hurry?"

I rolled my eyes and turn Mr.Devil standing exactly behind me. I was startled backward but he grips my wrist and helped me balance, save me from an embarrassing moment. The hallway is still full of conference members. Immediately he loses his grip.

"Ummm. I'm going home. I'm already late."

"You are going home. I don't remember that I dismiss you yet" ??
I rolled my eyes and a thin line on my lips indicates that he is successful in irritating me. A grin played on his lips.  Is there a joke written on my face that he smiling?
 
"I have work for you. In my office right now" and with that, he makes his way to his den and I was standing in the hallway irritated from his torture. I know he didn't find anyone else that's why he is messing with me. Maybe that's why the secretary's quit their jobs because of his rude and shitty behavior.
