Billion Heir's Obsession

“Talia! I’ve been waiting for you for almost an hour!” Maureen kept on complaining to me from the other line while I was busy walking fast down the stairways. Can’t she wait? I am carrying her a bunch of things! I was even bumping against the people with an opposite path of mine! I was on the verge of stumbling down the floor! My gosh! “I am sorry, okay? Just wait for me, ugh! Excuse me, Miss!” I kept on pushing myself through the sea of people. Damn it! Why do we have to hurry this time when we can finish our project in the former days? Tsk! We were just too lazy these past few days. So annoying! I waited for the elevator to open. I cannot stay still. I keep on stomping my feet because of anticipation. My patience can’t! I have to fucking hurry! I don’t want our group to pass our proposal late! "Talia, half on an hour left! We still have to finish some slides!” Maureen sounded so nervous and worried. I just shook my head and looked up, I then closed my eyes. I felt dizzy. “Don’t

"Dad?" I called my father as I entered our house. I used to see him sitting on the sofa and watching news on the television. But this time, I did not catch him in the living room. Maybe, he is in the kitchen or his room. I went to my room first to change my clothes. I quite arranged my things because my room look so messy. This day is tiring. It was still noon, and the surrounding is peaceful. I let out a sigh. My family isn't financially stable. It was just me and my father who is left. My mother died, and my sister was adopted by my aunt. Daddy can't raise us both, life is a struggle. We and my sister still communicate, tho. We never lose connection. We just simply live in this huge town. I strive hard to help dad get through life. And that is why I am willing to surrender everything to show my presence in the meeting and show our proposal. Because if our team gets approved, we'll level up. That is what my mother wants. I shook my head and went outside my room to check on dad.

"You look like you just regret everything." I closed my eyes harshly and leaned against the headboard of my bead. Yes, I really do. I regret my decision and I did not like what I did lately. I am too coward to refuse Kiel Alexandro Ramirez. And besides, work is work. There is no bias there. "Hey, Miss. You are now fired." I looked at Ramirez's former secretary. Disbelief and surprise then crept her eyes. "W-What?" "I said, you are now fired." I showed her that I am too brave to tell her this. That I am not nervous at all. That I am desperate to have my work and fire the shit out of her. "B-But..." "I am the new secretary," I cut her off with a smile on my lips. She almost stepped backward in horror. "You are done. Come and find a new job." I could feel Zed's stares at me so I opened my eyes and looked at him. I just remembered what I did as Ramirez's told me to fire her. I did regret, however, this feeling will never lead me to something great. "What?" Zed raised her brows at

"You seemed tired."I pursed my lips into one thin line and sat on the couch inside the living room of Zed's unit. Yes, I am freaking tired, exhausted. That Kiel Alexandro Ramirez made me do many things. I know that it isn't normal for a secretary. I just realized that he wants me to suffer and struggle. What did I do to him and he treats me like this? Anyway, I will just bear with him. This is about money, about how I will live and get better."Can I have water?" I requested, closing my eyes. My body is sore. The current time is 10 in the evening, that is my off for today. I will study my schedule and Mister Ramirez's. Yes, he just let me go home at this kind of time. I started my work in the morning and I just have a minute's break as I took my lunch."Here." Zed handed me a glass of water. I heard him sigh before he sat on the couch facing me. I looked at him. He looked so worried, staring at my pale face. "This is your first day as his secretary," he stated. "Yet, you're not well.

"Wake up."I creased my brows upon hearing that word from a familiar voice. I raised my arms for stretching and let out a yawn. But then, I realized. Wait... My eyes immediately turned open with a wide sight as I realized that I am sleeping inside the office of the CEO!What the fuck?!I went up with nervousness. "H-Hey..." I smiled at Mister Ramirez awkwardly."Why are you sleeping in my office?" he asked with a hint of irritation. I looked away because of shame. I remembered what happened before I was able to sleep. He went outside his office after he took his coffee, and then I was tired of waiting and so I take a nap. "I am sorry.""You're shameless.""I am sorry, okay? I did not mean it!"He shook his head and went near his table to get his things. "I am done with the meeting. Go home yet."My eyes widened. "P-Pardon?"I looked at the wall clock and blinked upon seeing that it was already 3 in the morning. Why did not he wake me up?! He should have! It should be a nap but I ende
