Contract Marriage; Fated Love

Has she gone nuts?

Lily, his secretary had further exposed her breasts, they were almost out of her clothes. Her laps were also very visible. It could even be said that she was undressed in his office. Noah was used to a lot of girls and women, including the married ones drooling at his sight. And why not? He was absolutely handsome and rich at the same time. But he wouldn’t tolerate anyone coming into his office to seduce him. He didn’t care about the meeting anymore.

“Lily, listen. I give you three seconds to get out of my office…” his voice was flat, cold and mean.

“…. You mean you don’t want this?” she interrupted, licking her lips and touching her breasts.

Noah hated being interrupted. He slammed his hands on the table startling Lily.

“Have you gone mad? Get out of my office. And you are fired.”

Lily scurried away, too scared to say one more word or spend another second in the same space with him.

Noah stared at her retreating figure in disgust. This was one reason he hated female secretaries. His secretary, James Sullivan was due to go for a leave. He gave him the role of assigning a temporary replacement and he selected Lily. She was the most qualified of all the applicants. He also made sure to brief her on the job requirements and description. Noah hadn’t wanted a female in the beginning but he didn’t mind anyway. Now, what he didn’t want has happened.

He took his suit and car key and walked out of the office.

Lily was panting in her office. It seemed she had done a marathon. Maybe she had. It was a marathon race fleeing from Noah’s office. When James selected her for this position, she was overjoyed. She would finally get close to the president and warm her way into his heart. She had a very sexy physical appearance, so she thought it would not be difficult. She had heard of his cold and aloof personality but she knew the power of her feminine charms. Unknown to her feminine charms had no power and were inactive in Noah’s world.

She has lost her job in a twinkle of an eye. She looked around the comfortable and luxurious office and tears dropped from her eyes.

Her very good friend Mira called at that time.

“Hey girlfriend, how are you?” she greeted with a trill in her voice.

“I’m good,” came the flat reply.

“Girlfriend? What’s the problem?”

“Mira…”

“Mira? Whatever it is that has made you call me Mira must be serious. Calm down and tell me, what’s the problem?”

“I just lost my job,” she cried and broke down in tears.

“What? Your enviable job? No, it can’t be. What happened?”

“Babe, I..”

She narrated everything to her, excluding no detail.

“Oh my dear. Is that why you are weeping? Common baby girl. You’ve got this. He might have ignored you because he was in a hurry. Babe, you are irresistible. You know you will never lack anything once you get into his bed. I’m sure he has a big stuff that will satisfy you unlike other men.”

“Can you be serious for once? We aren’t joking here.”

“Trust me, I’m not kidding. The secret to happiness in your workplace is to have a hit on your boss. You know my story now, or have you forgotten?”

“So, what do you suggest I do?”

“Try again. You know the game very well. Just make sure to go when he’s calm. I’m sure he won’t reject your fat ass.”

They both burst into a loud and long laughter.

Lily thought of what her friend had said and it was the perfect idea to her. She can’t quit her job. No! She wouldn’t leave yet. She would try again.

Noah drove calmly to the five star hotel where the meeting was to be held. He parked his car and went into the building. The meeting began in earnest and lasted for an hour. They had lunch and moved to the next stage of the meeting. Soon, they were done and refreshments were provided. In the next few minutes, everyone was either leaving the hall or greeting some friends. Noah wasn’t left out. Having made a name in the business world, he had a lot of business partners and friends from all over the world.

Somewhere at the end of the hall, some young ladies who had rank in the business world were having snacks and getting along. Tessy was one of them. She was representing her father’s company for the meeting. Her father handed the company over to her a long time ago. He trusted in her abilities and she hasn’t failed till that moment.

Although she was angry with her father for marrying her off, she didn’t use the company to pay back. She treated the company like hers. There was no grown up male child in the Clinton family at the moment. Her younger brother was still ten years old hence the mantle of leadership fell on her and she handled the responsibility so well, even more than ten sons would.

Her friends were laughing hysterically but she was absent minded. Her focus was on Jayden who was in attendance as well. When they got married, her father fulfilled his own part of the bargain by helping them rise to their feet. But now, what bothered her was that her father wanted to take over the company by tricks and she was also the one to whom the task was assigned. Although she had never liked Jayden, she wasn’t comfortable with using tricks to take over the company. She wasn’t that kind of person but she was at risk of losing the company if she didn’t do what her father wanted.

“Isn’t it true, Tessy?” one of her friends included her in their joke. She smiled politely.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Noah was just done greeting friends and was about leaving when he felt someone tap him. He turned and froze immediately. He looked like he had seen a ghost.
