CHAPTER 1

Pon's POV

I ruffled through the paperwork that was given to me by my boss, I needed to work hard.. given to me the situation I will be in.

I bit my lower lips as I wanted to scream and let out all my feelings and frustration to something but couldn't.

I wanted help, I needed help.

I wanted to talk to my boss about getting a raise from my boss, I'm a secretary.. I've been with him for so long! I shouldn't be scared.

I mean I could just explain to him what I've been going through, I mean I don't want to work at night shift in a local café as a waiter.

not that it's a bad thing but I want to sleep just for a couple of hours, being a secretary isn't the easiest job to do, I have to be with my boss 24/7 not literally.

I have to be with Sailub Hemmawich whenever he goes from 5:00 AM to 9 PM every single day and I have to work at the office as well to sort out his work, schedule and everything for him.

I'm like his manager but called as a secretary since he's a CEO not an artist.

"Pon." a stern voice was heard as I looked up as my fingers ruffled in my hair looking like a mess.

"K-khun Sailub.." I got up as I stuttered fixing my hair a bit and bowing down to him as he looked at me up and down.

"what's wrong? haven't you done your work yet? I'll fire you." the alpha said as I quickly shook my head.

"n-no! I'm .. I finished it already.. I was just roaming through the paperwork.. i-i.. please don't fire me.." I begged sounding desperate.

"i'm joking, I have to attend a meeting in 15 minutes, you didn't remind me, it's very unusual of you, Thanapon." he mumbled.

Yes, it's unusual for me because I'm dying inside, I'm stressed and I don't know if I'll be living in the next 2 years.

"i'm sorry sir, it's very unprofessional of me.. just dealing with a lot, I promise I will be more careful with work." I said as I bowed down apologizing.

Sailub was strict, stern and scary, he was always strict and always screamed at others if work was a fail or anything was a fail.

he has anger issues.

"it's fine, you're my secretary, I know you too well, anyways.. you're lucky I'm being nice to you, you've been making mistakes since earlier.. you kept zoning out, mumbling, being all weird, what's wrong?"

no, not yet I don't want to ask for a raise when my performance is not good and I don't want to tell him my situation.

"n-nothing sir, are you going to the meeting now? before we go I'll just take a quick trip to president Ping, i'll give him the paperwork he gave me earlier." I said as I fixed my suit and fixed my posture.

"you finished the work of President Ping, maybe you need to work for him instead?"

"n-no sir! he asked me to help him! it's not that I.. did something for him, I'm always loyal to you.. Khun Sailub." I said as I bowed my head to him.

he scoffed as I gave him a warm smile and walked towards the door and opened it as we went outside him following me.

President Ping's floor was below the grand floor where Khun Sailub's office was and where he could only go up to and stay in without anyone beside me and him to go up or any relatives or anyone he allows in.

I pressed the elevator button, looking at the numbers going up.

8..

9..

10..

11..

12..

*ding!*

the elevator opened and we went inside as I felt a lump in my throat, I pressed the 11th floor button and the door closed slowly as I looked at my boss.

his face was serious, he was extremely handsome today, I mean..

he was always handsome, he has these Chinese features and his skin is smooth, one time I had tried on his perfume.

it smelled like him really and it smelled so good that I wanted my pillow to smell like him, not in a weird way.

I wanted to ask him about the promotion so I decided to give it a go.

"sir.. I wanted to ask something, a favor.."

he turned to me as I caught his attention and suddenly the door opened and he shrugged his shoulders and went out the elevator leaving me a bit speechless.

fate said, not now, maybe later.

I smiled and took a deep breath and followed Sailub.

we were in front of President Ping's door leading to his office, President Ping and Khun Sailub are best friends and step Brothers.

yet ping didn't accept the position of being the CEO and wanted to be the president instead so Sailub was the CEO.

"President Ping? here's the document." said as I walked inside excusing myself inside.

"good afternoon, Khun Supanut." I bowed down to Supanut who was President Ping's future wife.

"why hello.. Secretary Pon, come here let me fix your hair, it's ruffled all over the place." he said as he softly chuckled.

Supanut was elegant and very modest, very demure.. very mindful.

"thank you khub." I thanked him as he finished fixing my messy hair and moving my bangs to the side so my eyes wouldn't get bothered by it.

I gave the document to President Ping and me and Sailub left the office after they both talked about something before we left.

we walked together and the sounds of the heels of our shoes were clicking on the beautiful Italian marble tile concrete floor.

the sounds were so in-sync, since I've been with Sailub for so long I'm starting to adapt his life style, his every day moves.

"what was it.. you said earlier.. the favor?" asked Sailub as I bit my lips and looked at him while speeding up my waking pace.

"u-uhmm.. I just wanted to ask if I could get a raise..?" I mumbled softly.

"huh?"

"a raise.." I mumbled again

"huh? pardon me? a little louder?" he said as I was about to scream at Sailub but we arrived at the meeting room.

"i'll mention it to you later sir.. let's start the meeting now." I said as I opened the door for Sailub as he made his grand entrance.

everyone looked at him as it looked like a Senate hearing but it was just a meeting for the upcoming events and sponsorship for the company.

he sat down and the meeting started.

I cursed under my breath, I didn't get the chance to ask for the raise, I should've spoken louder.. maybe after the meeting.

"the stock.." blah.. blah.. blah..

my mind drifted off into a blank room filled with job opportunities that could help me get the money I need.

how will I get 120M baht? how will I get this type of money before a year and a half? will I die if I didn't pay the money? what will happen to me? I asked myself.

Sailub's voice was heard as I didn't realize he got up already and started talking in front of the people and started explaining the possibilities that might happen if the investment fails.

I didn't know much of these things but I do know that I'm doomed.
