BILLIONAIRE’S SECRETARY

Right in front of the wine rack stood eight chairs and a gold dining room table with silver trimmings.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Some assorted groceries and cereals occupied a cabinet.

I did not bother to know the contents of the fridge because I needed to prepare dinner before Mr. Gavriel burned me down in this house.

I thought about what to prepare for Mr. Gavriel because I did not know exactly what he normally consumes.

While I was thinking, I saw a food menu on top of a cabinet. As I quickly picked it up and glanced at it, I saw different recipes, and I decided to prepare at least ten recipes so that he could make his choice.

Within fifty-five minutes, I had prepared bacon, egg ‘n’ cheese sandwiches, recipe buffalo chicken wings, Manhattan meatballs, Manhattan-style clam chowder, potato chips, chocolate truffle, cheesecake, scrambled eggs, and a potato pie.

Then, when I was through, I set them all on the dining table along with apple juice, red wine, and water.

Now, this is the main job. “Tina, how are you going to tell him that dinner is served?” I thought to myself.

While reminiscing on what to do, I remembered movies I watched and how the maid would knock at their owner’s door and then they would say what they had to say.

Along with that thought, I took courage and went to Mr. Gavriel’s study room and knocked carefully. I kept on knocking for about five minutes and heard no response. I was so sure that Mr. Gavriel did not leave this study room.

“Now, Tina, you have to take a risk right now,” I said to myself as I slowly and carefully opened the study room door. Yet again, the light was switched off, and since I already put it on earlier, I figured out how to put it on again even though it was dark, so I stretched out my hand in the direction where the switch was located, and when my hand touched the switch, I immediately put on the light.

When I raised my head to know if Mr. Gavriel was there, I saw my boss, Mr. Gavriel, sleeping like a child on the table where he was working initially.

“Oh no, I am going to receive another round of insults when he awakes, he must have waited for long. What do I do now, Tina? Think fast!” I said as I simultaneously used my hands to hit my head, “This is the most anxious thing that has ever happened to me in my life.”

“Okay, now I will try waking him up, I just pray he wakes up, or else I would be done for,” I thought to myself as I gently tapped him on his shoulders as my heart beat multiplied by five. I was so scared.

When he did not make a move, I did not stop trying to wake him up as I continued tapping him with care and consistently checking his shirt to know if my hands stained it. I was not in for trouble or insult this night because I already had a long day.

Oh God, why is he not waking up, Mr. Gavriel? Are you looking for a way I would be prey and fall into your trap while you devour me? I did not even know where those words came from until I did.

Yet again, I started hitting my head like I wanted it to offer me something.

Unlike me, I did not start gazing at my boss or admiring his face, while sleeping, he looked so calm and peaceful, but when he was awake, the devil in him awoke.

While I was hitting my head continuously, a thought flashed in my mind, and without thinking it through, I immediately agreed to my mind’s idea.

“That is a good idea,” I said to myself as I began to execute the idea my fragile mind gave me without thinking twice about what the advantages and disadvantages were going to be.

I rushed out of the study room to the dining room and I carefully carried all the dishes to the study room.

I made sure I carried each dish I prepared, including the juice, red wine, and water.

I closed the laptop on the table in the study room and placed it on a couch along with every paper and document, then I set the table with the dinner I had prepared.

Then this was where the problem was. how do I get Mr. Gavriel to eat his dinner, it is not a good thing to sleep on an empty stomach. I had to do something, or maybe I should feed him.

“Arrgh!” I screamed out loud, but thank the goddess, it was not that loud.

Then I looked at Mr. Gavriel, and I found out that he was still sound asleep. I was lucky he did not wake up, if he had, I knew that I would cry myself to sleep.

Then I moved closer to Mr. Gavriel as I carefully raised his head and made it rest on the chair head, in that position, it was going to be possible for me to feed him.

Gosh, I could not just believe I was about to feed my boss on my first day of arriving here, it is more strenuous than I thought.

After I placed him in a comfortable position, I stood in between Mr. Gavriel and the table so I would have easy access to both the food and Mr. Gavriel.

Then I washed my hands since I decided to feed him with my hand, but on second thought, I wanted to just set the table and leave, but if I did that, only God knows the condition he would put me in tomorrow.

God, please help your little child and protect her from the wrath of this devil called Mr. Gavriel. I prayed silently to my Creator, he is the only one who would hear my cries and grant my heart’s desires.
