More Than A Secretary




"Come again, I didn't quite get what you said?"

He said and she repeated herself

"Lucas asked me to be his girlfriend,"

She said much louder.

"Wow, girl, that so nice, wow, your dreams finally came true, he exclaimed with much excitement, too much excitement for someone who claimed not to like her boss.

"You don't look happy about it though,"

He said after a while when she didn't smile or react to his congratulations.

"Well, that's just one part of it,"

"Well, spill girl"

He replied even more concentrated

"Well, the thing is he asked me to be his girlfriend for a week, not a real girlfriend but like a fake,"

She said and trailed off when he gave her a pissed look.

"What the fuck Katrina Elizabeth Jones, tell me you didn't agree to that, I'mma go and wipe that mudafuckers ass right now, who does he think he is and why will he make such foolish request,"

"Calm down, Jord, and hear me out.".

"I finna wanna go and do some ass whopping so you better start talking, wait, why does he need a fake girlfriend when he can get all the girls in the world, okay maybe not all but the majority?"

He questioned his voice calm for the first time since she told him.

"That's why I told you to calm down and let me explain, and before you ask again, no, I haven't given him an answer yet, I told him I will think about it and get back to him tomorrow,"

"Better, but tomorrow is too short a notice though," he argued. "Okay, start talking young lady," he added sitting down and facing her with attentive eyes.

"Fine, the thing is he has this new deal coming up which I only found out about on Monday, it the reason we are going to California, and apparently, the owner of the property he wanna acquire runs a resort in California and is looking to hand over his properties in New York to someone and according to Lucas, the old man is old fashion and believes every successful man needs a woman," she paused and looked over at him and he was watching her with eager eyes.

"Continue, I ain't gonna say a word until you finish,"

"Okay," she continued. "Like I said he needs me as his girlfriend for the week we are in California to convince the old man that he is the man for the job,"

"But you do know it not gonna end there right? That if you agree to help him this time it gonna have to continue till the deal is signed and sealed and also that if you help him you will be deceiving the old man and that's not right,"

He said and Kat mentally scolded herself for not thinking about those and making those points when she had talked with Lucas.

"I didn't think of that, again I have not given him an answer that's why I am asking for your advice."

She replied.

"Well, my advice is don't do it, let him look for someone else to,"

"Jordon,"

"Aha, yeah, I remember you like your boss and will get jealous if he brings another woman with him to your trips, sucks to be you,"

"Come on Jord, that's not it, Lucas said I am the only woman he trusts to do this for him without catching feelings,"

At her words, he busted out laughing and almost fell off his chair

"What's funny?"

"You are funny, you and your boss, if only he knew you were head over heels for him, he won't be saying that," he said in between laughs.

"Jordan!!!"

"Sorry," he apologized still fighting back laughter. "See the thing is no matter what I say, you already know what you are gonna do, I have never what you are gonna do, I have never know you to listen to people over what your head is telling you so my advice is to think about it real good, weigh the pros and cons without leaving anything behind, though it pretty short notice, while you will get his attention for a week which might help you get over your feelings for him or maybe make you fall more in love with him and also think about how your work life is gonna be when it over, I know you, Rina, you are gonna do it even if I say you should not" Content belongs to Novelxo.org

He said and she understood everything he meant, if she is gonna consider helping Lucas she has to make sure it doesn't affect her or her work,@part from the fact that she will hate quitting, she also hates writing applications and going for interviews, Jordan knew her so well, he knew she is not gonna refuse him and he was right she is not going to, even if her head was telling her not to do it.

"Why are you so quiet?"

"Nothing, I am just weighing the pros and cons as you advised,"

"See I knew you were gonna do it either way but just know I am not in support but if

anything does go wrong I can help you deal with the loser of a boss," he said

punching his fist into the air.

"Thanks, Jord,"

"For?" He asked raising his eyebrow.

"For the advised and also for helping with dealing with my boss if he messes up,"

She said and he smiled weirdly.

"You know this might be helpful

though, it might help you to see there is nothing to die for in Lucas thinking about it again, you should be his girlfriend, and then when you guys break up you will just handle it

as fdid, drink a few glasses of beer and get over him, oh that reminds me I am going on a date this He said with excitement. Content belongs to Novelxo.org

"What? Jord? So soon? Is it my memory or wasn't it yesterday that you had a major heartbreak? That's so quick"

"Come on, bitch this is the twenty-first century, you don't expect me to agonize over

a man who has moved on already, yes, I am allowed to feel heartbroken for a while but there is no way I am letting that stop me,"
