“Yes, Aurora. Bye. Take care” La said, stepping out of the taxi which stopped in front ih Nn’s office.
She disconnected the car before walking in. Nn had specifically said that the people that thepany should not know that they lived together or whatsoever.
So she had toe to work all by herself every morning. That was very stressful for her as she had to walk a few miles away from Nn’s ce before she could find a taxi.
“Good morning Bertha..” She walked past Bertha waving to her.
“Hello La…” Bertha waved back with a smile.
“La..” Bertha called softly before La could walk away.
“Yes..” La responded as she stopped in her tracks.
“Can I ask you a question?” Bertha asked in almost a whisper beckoning for La toe closer.
“Do you need anything?” La queried, stepping closer to Bertha.
“Well…” Bertha began as she chuckled sheepishly.
“How was your trip with the president?” She asked, tucking her hair behind her ear.
“What trip?” La creased her brows in confusion.
“The business trip you had with the president of course, why act as if you don’t know about that?” Bertha frowned.
“Oh that..” La mumbled, recollecting that she actually went on a business trip with Nn. A business trip that utterly turned into something else.
“I’m so sorry, it’s just that I put in a lot on my mind…” she apologized as she asked. “What about the trip?”
“Well, there’s actually a rumor going round..” Bertha whispered motioning for La to move closer.
“What rumor?”
“That you have something with the president” she whispered to La’s ears.
“What!!” La examined shifting away from Bertha.
“Wbu told you that?”
“No one, the rumor is flying around..” Bertha shrugged her shoulders.
“Please why would you say that?” La fanned her face nervously.
She had no idea how something woulde up with this ridiculous rumor, but whoever did that had to look for a way to stop this.
Or Nn will definitely put the me on her if anything happens.
“Well the theory is that. You’re the first secretary who is working this long with the president. You’ve actually spent your first month here. La that’s a lot!” Bertha shook her head. Though the president was good looking and everyone wanted him. Bertha made sure she was never transferred to his section.
As much as she admired him, she loved her job.
“And the business trip, you guys spent a very long…”
“Look Bertha..” La interrupted.
“It’s all a lie. None of this is true. Trust me..”
“I’m only working here because I’ve not been able to find another job and I get a really good pay and I’ve got tolerance too”
“So whatever rumor that is going on is a lie. Hmmm”
“Please spread this news also..” she patted Bertha.
She needed to leave as she would bete for work If she spent a longer time with Bertha.
“La..” Bertha called again and La noticed that she was staring at her blouse.
“Do you need anything?” La asked.
“Not really…”
“It’s just that.. where did you get this blouse from. I mean where did you buy it from..” she chuckled sheepishly at her question.
“Why are you asking?” La creased her brows as she took a look at the white blouse with ck pzzo pants she was wearing to see if anything was wrong with it.
“Your blouse, it’s a limited edition. And your purse. That’s a f*cking hermes Birkin 25!!” She eximed and La took another look at her purse.
Nn got her everything she was putting on since he insisted she didn’t bring ‘ rags ‘ to his ce.
“And your wristwatch. It’s.. oh my gosh! Your heels!!” Bertha gasped holding La’s up as she took a look at her wristwatch.
“Your bracelet is.. don’t tell me you got this with the money from your sry..” she pointed at La usingly.
“This purse alone is worth your five months sry and …”
“It’s a gift..”La chimed in.
“A gift?”
“Yes..”
“But from who? I didn’t know you had rich friends..”
“I have to go Bertha, I can’t afford to get scolded by the president..” La muttered walking away quickly.
….
“Fuck!!” La examined looking at the files stockpiled for her to work on.
“It would take years to get these done..” she grumbled taking her seat.
That kind of work meant there was going to be no rest for her today nor would she go for lunch.
She was stillmenting when she heard the sound of heels clicking.
“Hi La..” she looked up to see Ca waving at her.
“Me..” La unconsciously pointed at herself.
Was Ca just waving at her? It felt like a dream. The one that would nevere true.
“Yes you..” she confirmed with a bright face.
“Is Nn inside?” She asked as La shook her head affirmatively.
“See you around..” she voiced out before going into Nn’s office leaving La in a daze.
…..
“Hi Nn..” Ca greeted the moment she got into Nn’s office.
She couldn’t help but admire him.
“Ca..” he called a little surprised.
“What are you doing here?” He asked, dropping his pen on the desk.
“Well I’ll be in New York for the next few days..” she informed.
She came to New York for La. She had learnt that Nn was finallying to the pack to resume his duties fully as an Alpha and that he would be bringing La along.
She didn’t want any of that to happen.
“Suit yourself..” he stated returning his attention to hisputer.
“Is that all you’re going to say to me?” She frowned.
“What else do you want me to say Ca?” He drew out, his attention still on hisptop.
“As you can see, I was busy before you came in. So please excuse me, I’ll talk to youter..”
“You can speak with Xander, he’ll arrange an apartment for you and if you need cash. He’ll get you that also..” Nn informed dismissing her.
“Okay thanks..” she muttered, turning to leave.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.
…
“Bye La..” Ca gesticted.
“Bye..” La uttered, unsure if it was Ca standing in front of her.
“I’ll be in town for a few days and would love it if you take me on a tour, hmm. What do you say?” Ca grilled yfully as La looked at her with squinted eyes.
“I’m new here, I don’t know my way around. You can ask someone else..” La politely refused.
“That’s great then!!”
“We can go on the tour together. What do you say? Please say yes..” she pleaded.
“I’m not sure Nn would agree..”
“I’ll talk to him for you, hmm. Once he agrees you can’t say no..” she stated and La shook her head slowly.
“Alright I’ll see you soon..” Ca began to walk away from the office as her smile fell the moment she stepped out.
“Seriously?” La pursed her lips.
Ca’s sudden kindness confused her. What had gotten into Ca all of a sudden?
