ASHLEY POV
I found myself in my room again, with nothing to do, so I had an idea.
FLASH FORWARD
"What do you want?" What the f*ck? He's back to his usual self. Why is he so cold?
"Ahmm, I have a request, if you don't mind," I said, avoiding his cold gaze.
"Ahmm, I want to work. You know, I have nothing to do here," I said, looking away.
"Okay. Starting tomorrow, you're my secretary. We'll leave at 8:00, so wake up earlier. You sleep like a log," he said, turning his back.
Whoa! That's the longest he's spoken to me. What am I doing? Okay, I'll go to sleep so I can wake up early tomorrow.
THE NEXT DAY, I woke up at 6:43 AM. Crap, I'm late! I quickly showered and got dressed in my secretary outfit. Whoa, it's my first time! Ahem, ahem.
I put on a little makeup and went downstairs. Manang was already cooking.
"Ah, Ma'am Ashley, Mang Joe will take you. Sir left early because he had an urgent call," Manang explained. I just nodded.
"Okay, bye-bye, Manang," I said and got into the car.
"Do your best, Ash," Manang said before we left. The trip was long, but we finally arrived.
I went inside. The guard recognized me, so he let me in. But then I turned back.
"Manong guard, aren't you going to stop me?" I said.
"Ah, Ma'am, sorry for what I did," he said, bowing.
"Manong, it was just a joke! I'm Ashley, you can call me Ash," I said and left. I noticed the employees kept looking at me. Oh, I forgot, July is with me.
"Oi, July, I'm a secretary now, so don't follow me, okay? They might find out that Zandro is my husband," I said, pushing her away.
"Sorry, Ma'am, but Sir said to watch over you and make sure you don't do anything," July said. I was annoyed but let it go. But then, someone bumped into me.
Hay naku, it's those two women again! First, it was three, now two. Goodness. July helped me up.
"You poor thing. What are you doing here? And why did the guard let you in?" a beautiful, tall woman said haughtily. (Sorry, I'm short.)
She's fair-skinned and pretty, but she has a bad attitude.
"Ahmm, nothing. I just want to work," I said and quickly entered the elevator, closing the doors. Many people got on, so it took a while.
When the elevator doors opened, I saw the two women waiting.
"Hmm, trying to escape, b*tch," one of them said, making me clench my fists. I could hear the employees whispering.
"Isn't that one of the women who beat up Tyronia?"
"Yeah, that's why she's probably Althea's target now."
"Ah, so you're the one who hurt Tyronia? Do you know she's my sister?" the woman said and kicked me in the head. But I managed to grab her foot and threw her. I immediately went to the office because I might be late.
