🌹CHAPTER THREE🌹

"As you know, Mr. Knight will be taking over the company for now on" Mr. Selone says the next day at work, he and his wife have been packing all his stuff. I nod my head at his words. He had asked me to his office. "Of course there will be a few changes around here, as I have to fire the whole staff on this floor-" He begins to say. "But not me, why?" I ask.

I know I shouldn't ask those things, or interrupt him. "Sweetie, you're different" Mrs. Selone speaks, she's always so kind to me, even if we've only known each other for about a week. "Different?" I ask, raising my eyebrows, not even sure what she means by that.

"Of course. I've seen the secretaries that my dear husband has had over the years and you are the only one I actually like" She tells me, she must tell that to every secretary that he has had. I give her a confused look. "All the other ones are just there for the money" She says.

But I'm here for the money, I'm working this job to have money to start my own business. I give her an even more puzzled look. "By trying to seduce my husband" She explains to me. "Oh" I whisper. That is just wrong, trying to seduce someone's husband.

I understand that some women like older men, but married man, that's where I draw the line. "That's why you're different" She says, understanding the look that had made its way over to my face. "If my beautiful wife is finished talking, I'd like to have my secretary back" Mr. Selone says.

I let out a giggle. "Fine" Mrs. Selone says, not really happy with it. She continues to pack his stuff into brown paper boxes. Mrs. Selone is a very organized person and I'm not allowed to help because she wants to do this on her own and have everything where it's supposed to be.

"As I was saying before, Mr. Knight will be taking over. You will be his secretary and the same rules apply to him as they do to me. However, I've heard he's difficult to handle, so I'd like to help you out. Once every week, you can call me at any time and ask me anything about anything and everything" He says, with a smile.

"That's very nice of you, thank you so much" I tell him. If Mr. Knight is as difficult as Mr. Selone says then I will need all the help I can get. This really is a generous offer and I'm sure that I will take it. "Now, I need you to finish going over those files" He says and hands me a few files to go over.

"All right" I reply and take with the files. I go to my office to go over the files that were handed to me. I feel sad that Mr. Selone is leaving, but there is nothing I can do or say about it. This is the business and I should learn something from this.

"Tonight will be amazing, trust me" Lena says as I get into her car after work. She's been looking forward to tonight the whole day and didn't stop texting me about it, I had to turn the sound off on my phone to be able to work. The text messages were a bit distracting.

She drives me home and forces me to take a shower after an hour, while she's getting ready. Lena's the type of girl who parties every weekend and she has got the hang of how to get ready in just one and a half and hour to get ready for one. I know we aren't going to a party but the dress code is the same.

She drops me off at my apartment and I go inside. Now I just need to wait for about an hour until I can take a shower and get ready for the bar thing that Lena's taking me to. I just know that tonight will a night that I'm not going to like but I'm doing this for Lena.

I sit on my couch and an idea gets into my head. I search Alexander Knight into Google. He's about to be my new boss, I figure that I would need to knows something about him since I will be spending my work days with him and working for him, might as well know what I'm getting myself into.

A lot of articles come up when I hit enter and I click on the one that is on the top, researching him will take some time, but it will be worth it. I need to know who I'm going to be dealing with every day and if he's like the things that Mr. Selone said.

The hot billionaire player Alexander Knight and the heiress of Libor tech were spotted by the paparazzi on a romantic dinner. Is the sexy bachelor finally tying the knots and will we see wedding bells? Trap tissues and chocolate ladies, the billionaire bachelor might be off the bachelor list.

What is this thing? So he's a famous guy that is a player. This will not be fun, from the pictures that I've seen on the few articles that I scroll over but don't read, I notice that in every single photo he has a different girl on his arm. And I know for a fact that those girls are not his sisters.

In every article that I read it is always about him being a billionaire and has succeeded in so much because of his family money and loves to play with girls and their hearts and then break them. The typical billionaire playboy type, and I feel sorry for my myself for having to have to work for him and be around him all the time.

I've only met him twice and he might be a Greek God but he will not break my heart, he has also acted like a jerk to me. I don't tolerate mistakes. His words are still fresh in my mind and I will not forget them, because will be the boss and I will have to do as he commands, well not everything.

Before I knew it, nearly one hour has already passed and I need to take a shower, I've done so much researching on this guy that I think there isn't anything that I don't know about him. His childhood was also spent in the spotlight of the paparazzi because of the Knight family. Everyone knows everything about him.

I take a warm shower and shave mostly all the hair off my body, just to keep my skin smooth and fresh. I don't know what kind of dress Lena wants me to wear but I know for a fact that it will be short and tight, which I'm not looking forward to.

Putting on some lotion on my legs and my arms, and then face cream to smooth my face. While I'm just in the towel and with a towel wrapped around my dripping wet hair, I hear knocking on my door. Lena's knocking. Few years ago she created this knocking, so I'd know it was her and I would do the same at her apartment.

I go and open the door for her and I was not expecting to see what I just saw. Lena's face is caked in make-up and her dress shows everything and when I say everything I mean everything. Her heels make her look taller, but those heels are so high, I don't understand how she can even walk on them.

"Hey, girl. Let's get you ready" She says, more existed than I've ever seen her. While she's exiting, I'm regretting every agreeing to this, I'll just have to get through this night and then forget that this ever happened and go on with my life the way it was.

Lena pulls me to the bedroom, and opens my closet. Probably finding something for me to wear, at least I'll be wearing one of my own dresses and not one of hers because as far as I can tell, they are a bit too slutty for my taste and I'd rather not wear them.

"You've got nothing to wear" She says, going through every dress hanging in my closet. "I've got plenty to wear" I tell her. "Yeah, for an old boring librarian. Soon, I will take you shopping and you will buy dresses that don't make you look like an old lady" She says. I'm a bit offended by her words.

I push past her and take out a very pretty dress, well i think it looks pretty and I'm going to wear it, not matter what she says. Lena shakes her head. "No" She only says. "I'm going into this and nothing else" I tell her as I head for the bathroom to dress into it.

"You could always go naked" She laughs when her words leave her mouth, I roll my eyes and close the bathroom door, not even bothering to answer her. I'd rather be caught dead before I leave this apartment naked. I put the dress on and look at myself in the mirror.

I'm happy with the way I look. I look beautiful in this dress, I don't think I've ever worn it before. I remember that this dress was a gift from my mother that I never got the chance to use. Like I stated before, I'm not the party type of girl and I never went to them, I have never had a reason to wear this dress.

First I put on a black strapless bra and a black matching panties. The dress is a nice shade of red, not too bright and not too dull and dark either, just in between. It has an asymmetric neckline and the strap is on the right side, and it's sleeveless. The dress hugs the curves on my waist, a little below the waist, it starts to puff out a bit. Like a summer dress and it goes down to my knees.

I exit the bathroom to show Lena the dress and when I walk out she's texting someone, but once she looks at me the look on her face says it all. She likes this dress, but I don't believe that she will admit it, now when she made fun of it a few moments ago.

She clears her throat before she stands up from the chair that she had sat on. "I admit that it doesn't look that bad, but you could do better" She tells me, rolling my eyes at her, she does like it, but she doesn't want to say the words. "Now let me do your make-up" Lena says.

"I don't want too much, just a little bit" I tell her. I don't want to end up with a caked face from make-up and be unrecognizable. "That was the plan silly. You're a natural beauty, there's no way I'm going to ruin that. I'll just highlight the beauty" She explains.

Pulling me into the bathroom, I sit on a chair that's facing the sink and the mirror above the sink. She does her thing with the make-up and puts something on me, but she makes me turn back at the mirror, so I can't see how I look like.
Then she does my hair.

I have no idea what she's doing to be but I'm a bit afraid of the result. Even if it turns bad, no one I know will be there. Not that I know a lot of people. Lena is sort of the only friend that I have and I actually like it, real friends are hard to come by these days.

"And done. I'm quite happy with the result" She says. Lena hasn't said a word to be for so long because when she's focusing, no one is allowed to interrupt her, that could end badly, for the other person not her. I turn around to look at myself in the mirror and I look beautiful. I didn't think I could ever look this beautiful.
