Steve pov:
I stared wide eye with this shocking expression..
this lady is something else God, I was immediately convinced there is something deeply buried inside of her she refuse to share which is bothering her  physically, mentally and emotionally.

Her eyes glowing with fury as it stares back into mine with the look that says
   You come any further you die
   I wasn't intending to though...
an unwanted smile crawls up my face while I nod limply turning my heels back to my seat.  I sat back stubbornly watching her angry face fearlessly.
I refuse to break eye contact despite the shivers running up my face from the hot slap I received..
My breath hitches when I saw the furrows in her eyebrow raised more and more clearly showing a sign of discomfort.

Well am letting this bravery inside of me get an edge over me though . . Cause If proving stubborn the only way I got to keep staring at this charming young lady, I tell you  willing to manage this moment till forever,

I noticed the perfectly sculpted angry eyebrow have been Marveling at glanced down only to start shaking her head in somewhat disapproval
   "are you deaf or what "
Deep in my mind I began questioning what might have happened to prompt a beautiful lady turn as wild as this..i still hold strong contact the entire time turning my brain to mush at the glittering eye staring boldly into mine .

She clenched at her condescending tone indicating more setting jaw and unexplainable fury.
"If you knew me well enough you wouldn't dare me "

I took what she said assertively and started nibbling my thumb on my lower lips still gazing at her intently as if she could be referring to space..
I finally shuffle my gaze side way and back to her, making sure am in my most calming tone...

"It took a whole ten hours and another thirty minutes in getting here miss Lewis,,see am so so sorry if I had crossed the limits I shouldn't have here,  just that everything got me by surprise,  so I had to blabber any thing that comes out of my mouth without using my brain, but I promise you it won't happen again,,  but it's okay if u can't take me in today.. I can actually resume fully tomorrow ."

I stood up on my tall frame tugging the corner of my mouth slightly although I try to hide it but this feeling  I don't seems to understand watches over me
"I deserved to be slapped a hundred time miss Lewis,..just that My wish now is  for you not to hate me."
I raised my left hand to glance at my watch..
"today is gone, already.

. I would definitely be in earlier tomorrow "

I was so surprised she only glared at me silently with this look I couldn't even read, it was like the angry gleam in her eyes that was beyond irritated by my presence had gone down only to keep staring at me but seeming to be lost like someone deep in thought .
What's she thinking... God,, Steven...

I  turn and bolted towards the door, my leg was fast enough with this ting ting feeling in my heart ,
Apologising was the best I could do at this moment right, I give up she isn't gonna call me back.
I was about opening the when I  heard
"wait steve"......
Mother of Christ, did she just call me by my first name,, God am gonna fainttttttt,,

I manage to hide the excitement that threaten to swallow me while I turn . She gestured her hands towards the chair indicating I should come take a seat.
I  swear I wanted to run right towards that chair but my outer self managed a composure...
Dont be a ruffian Steve.. You be big guy now..
I straighten my posture and move gentle manly towards the arm chair and sit ...

The inner  me was rolling with excitements..but  this look on my face showing the face of a man who was about to invigilate. I tell  you this woman could drive any man crazy.

I heard her mutters as I crossed my leg mirroring her position and  trying not to focus on the light shiver running down my spine with this effect she's having on me,  instead I watch her long fingers tap at her glinting harsh laptop for a few seconds before glaring at me,  her face not smiling though but was glad she manage not to frown at the moment. ..

" I was really angry at you for been rude but see am more angry at my dad , cause he knew quite well I don't like people being around me that's why I never bother to recruit any one for that position.. Cause it turn out Personal assistance are the closest in running the affairs of the company with the CEO ..And I really really despite having anyone close me that's the truth..

I nod to show I understand all she's saying..
"so therefore there would be laid down rules if you wanna take up that position... "

"laid down rules " I murmur
"yes Laid down rules "

"first,  I do not want to see your face near me or inside my office , we can only communicate through phone, but you can come around if there are meetings,  and thats only if I tell you to, and again I only go on trips or meetings outside the company alone,  I do not need your help on that"
I gapse
" I mean what am I supposed to be doing then that you've almost restricted me in doing most thing,  come on I..... "
I realise i already started blabbering only to shut up when I heard her banged her hands on the desk now frowning.

Doesnt she really gets tired of getting angry God ...

"don't think I called you back only to joke around here,,  if you can't abide with my rules. The road is free  You can just go back to portharcout.,"
She closed her eyes trying to control the fury in it only to open them and sigh

"secondly"
I immediately interrupted
"there is a even second after all this"
This realisation immediately catch me
Does she even know we are to start sharing the same compound oh no,,  I doubt it, am very sure if she knew, she would have maybe thrown me out into The rain by now...i thought Mr Lewis informed her before giving the go ahead,  like seriously I think he has  some other motive in sending me here apart from work,.if not he could have prepared some other apartment for me rather than where she stays dammit ..wait ooo Does he want me to get closer to... Oh Nooo ,but he could have talked to me about it rather than set me up like this ,I was wondering why everything came so fast.. Well maybe if he did I wouldn't have felt this way thankfully he sent me here, cause this woman is someone I would have prefer never to let go.. How would it feel like to touch her God....she might even be a virgin with this rumor that she never got any friends that means she never got any man too...so it means she hadn't even had her first kiss...yeeeeeeee

I shivered at my thoughts while trailing my eyes from her face directly to that lips,

You are done for Steven who could ever think you would feel this way for a woman on the very first day after what your bitchy ex did to you...
Am going crazy over
this lady God,, I just wish I could hold her right now and tell her  every thing would be fine.

"secondly you do not give out your opinions in any meetings I called you to until I give the go ahead.. And hence u wanna speak to me I do not need your eye contact to stare directly into mine, it's either you look up or down,  I only have the power to look at you,, "

"what" I realised I started laughing before I could hold it
"how's that even possible lady", 
She cut me off guard with this frown I couldn't place

"insult"

"sorry I meant miss Lewis but you can't tell me where to look and where not to look, I mean this is ridiculous "

"ridiculous or not,  if you wana take up that position ,it's either you abide by the rules or go back"
"okay" I swallowed my saliva while I nod...

You don enter one chance oo Steve

"and thirdly "
"thirdly what" my husky tone now very glaring when those words blurted out,
"yes thirdly"  she picks up the telephone while she punched In some numbers ,now pressed into her ears while she speaks,  I realise she resembles more of a famous fashion model posing a high end advertisement on TV than any sort of bitter CEO,,  I realise I started skimming her charming face before I could stop myself , down to her lips,her neck,  and down , down  imagining how she would look like without those damn top on,  I skimmed up again as slowly as possible and we suddenly lock eyes,  brown to dark grey eyes, a gapse leave my lips as I realise how completely busted I am...
She just catch me staring. Wait how long has she even drop the phone without me knowing.

"I wouldn't tolerate you staring at me that way,mr gold well after signing the rules,,  I think those would stop" she frowns

" signing what " I whispered with this surprised look

"and lastly " she said ignoring my looks and question

"am gonna be offering a higher work load per day,  if you don't finish up, you stay up in the office until you do..
And I would love if you rather address me by my surname, and staying formal as possible would do.. You do not have the permission to talk to me until I do"

"what,  how is that even possible, I mean with all these three rules you laid down,  If I had to separate them they are even more than three"

We were interrupted when a knock was heard on the door,,  She gave out her permission with a call out while the person enters.
It was the lady I saw earlier while I was skimming the environment glaring at me with those pink lips seeming to focus on me rather than the laptop she's working on . She seems. surprised when she saw me and immediately added more tune to her legs while walking towards the table.

"these are the papers maam"
"okay anita" sam said collecting the paper..
"you can leave now"

While she turn I immediately met her gaze on me bitting those pink lips while walking out .

 am in trouble here o,,,  first with a boss who makes rules and a lady biting her lips at me ..

She glanced at the paper for a moment picks up her pen and signed on it... She shifted it towards me

"you have to sign on those,  "

I shifted my gaze from hers to the paper below reading through it,, I noticed it contains all the  three rules she Mentioned earlier.
Below after the rules was written

If you abide by the terms and conditions of the stated above rules agree by signing below with your full name underneath and if the rules is been broken somewhat,, a severe decision not stated here would be taken.

I gapse
God this lady is impossible

I shake my head in disapproval

"you do not expect me to sign on this "

" well I do,,  if you need to take up that position"

Feeling somewhat irritated now
"well I didn't assign that position for myself it was an order from my boss,  "

"see I have every right to send you back even if I cant sack you,  I have every right to reject this damn transfer of yours,,  cause the person who gave the permission at first was my dad and I have every right to go against him... "
She said now with this fury beaming  in her eyes..
I noticed this and try to stay calm as possible

"this is work miss Lewis,,  you shouldn't relate personal matters to work. "

I thought I lost my sense of hearing when I heard with all too stony voice

"you sign or you leave "

I stay quiet for moment dump founded only to stare at her and back at the paper sadly..

Of course i do not want to go.. But if I had to stay I had to sign this .

I pick up the pen and sign with my full name underneath.
Steven gold.

I saw her took the company stamp while placing it on it ,,
Now As I stand walking out of her office  ...my mind was immediately occupied with these million thoughts.
God what could have made her become this cold.. This is the least of all I expected...

Read " Her Secret Lover " by the same author ( Op. Amina )

.
And going to that bungalow beside her mansion wouldn't be any good idea today,
I had to go find an hotel  to louge..this week is gonna be hell of a long one
And as I drove out of the company I decided in my mind I had to find out what ever it is turning her this crazy,,,  and rules or no rules I know nothing could stop me from getting her... Nothing
The rain has finally gone down while I located an hotel, realising what kinda of a hell mission Mr Lewis had gotten me into..

Mission impossible.

Sam pov:

I realised am dressed a little less extravagantly today as  I glanced at my image In my dressing mirror.
I roll my eyes at my thoughts not that am trying to impress anyone anyway.
It's been a week now that the low headed handsome guy I slapped resumed fully as my personal assistance.. Let's just call it ghostly k  ind of personal assistance 

Well I wouldn't deny he's handsome  which had got me really scared when he had walked right into my office that day..but was glad I was fast enough to make those rules which had been working perfectly fine anyway ,,
We never got to see but only converse through phone,  i drop whatever files he had to work on
On my door step and I noticed he seems to do the same whenever he's through with it.
Although his office was beside mine but I did everything in my might to  avoid him so well cause I knew letting anyone get closer to me could prompt into some kind of friendship.. Which I knew right from eight to be very much of a risk....
That's was why I shut them all off...
Everyone of my friends I loved so much which had made me and still making me wrap most of my loneliness with anger.
Anger that none but myself could understand.

I knew dad had sent him over on purpose which  had made me literally angry ,
If mom and dad needs a grand child,  they can go adopt one ,why can't they just understand am only doing this for them .

I gather my things,  took my car keys and went out noticing the the sun had grown fully . ...
glaring at my watch only to realise how late I was,,,
I hop inside my car and drove out in the next seconds,
*****************************
Something threaten inside of me while I entered the company wearing my normal frowing look...
I thought I saw the flash of a person with  some mini Afro air cut  and my mind skipped a bit...
Damn you Sam what's wrong,  I tell you I immediately got angry at myself .

I passed by making my way to my office only to glance side way at this scene...
Steve was talking in some kind of way I couldn't place... While Anita was laughing in a some seductive way

What the hell...
Am gonna sack this girl , she's such a bit******

Walking into my office I groaned with this irritated feeling churning my stomach unpleasantly.
I banged my fist on my desk,
sincerely I don't know why am really angry right now, not that it's any of my concern if they had something together,  I immediately decided that act is totally beyond the company rules,,  making out while at work is wrong ... Very very wrong,"
I picked up the phone and rang Anita...

"come into my office right away anita"
I shut back the phone while I groan with wicked look...

Oops

I drown at the way she glared at her watch this morning with those perfect long legs.
