She got into the elevator, exclusive for the higher officials and went straight to the top floor. The topmost floor was renovated into a penthouse, exclusively for the young CEO of the company as, he spent most of the time in the company building and leaving only for official dinners or meetings and for family gatherings. It could be accessed only by two people in the whole office, not even the chairman was allowed in there. A fingerprint recognition was required for access, which only allowed the CEO and his personal secretary; she was the latter.
It was divided into two floors. The upper level had a master bedroom, a guest room, and a study, while the lower floor had a kitchen adjoining the huge living room.
After she got in, she went straight into the kitchen and prepared a bowl of fresh salad with an excess of cherry tomatoes, he liked them a lot. She placed two soft boiled eggs which again was to his liking, sprinkled some black pepper with salt to taste, she wrapped up by adding a half-a-table spoon of olive oil and gave it a gentle mix. Then she brewed some coffee to make Cafe au Lait and finished it with a bunny latte-art, which was so OOC of her but since he liked them, she took a 2 month lesson for this, anyway, while doing so, unbeknownst to her, she was oozing out a gentle aura and her stern eyes, now, held a lot of warmth; it was really very, very different from her usual poker face.
Well, leaving it at that for now, since she was done with his breakfast, she went on to wake our young master up!
She knocked twice before directly entering the room.
She went on to open the curtains to let the sunlight in through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows when she heard, the soft rustle of the linen sheets, our young master was up.
With a soft smile on her face, she turned around: "Good Morning"
His eyes still remained closed which, softened the air around him; with a hoarse but sexy voice, the man replied: "Good Morning....hm...What's the time?"
"It's 09:20. Please wash up, I am done with your breakfast. I'll go through your schedule for the day while you eat."
He softly consented:"..hm"
With bleary eyes, he got up from the bed and made his way to the washroom but just before the door he turned around to take another look at her: "Grey, is it?"
He had a playful smile on his thin lips.
"Grey, it is."
He slightly chuckled and before going in, in his deep magnetic voice he ordered: "Take out a darker shade for me."
This time with an official smile she replied: "Noted."
......
The man was seated on the main seat of the dining table and was meticulously eating his salad. Elegance was ingrained in his body, even the slightest movement he made was filled with flair and exuded a notable amount of nobility.
He was about 6'2" tall. He had a lean figure, the custom suite was tightly hugging his well-maintained body, giving away greek-god vibes.[Drools...]
His face as if sculpted by the heavens; with sword eyebrows, phoenix eyes, an aquiline nose, sexy thin lips which held a slight smirk and his chiseled jaws gave him a 3D look, well, he was a quarter mixed so...anyway, his whole body gave away an aura of dignity, the air of the dragon high in heavens, someone who is just, unattainable.
He has always been in the top 5 of the World's Sexiest Men, ever since, he turned 18!
Disregarding the Women-magnet like thin air, our dear PA went on to recite the schedule for the day with a straight face and a flat voice, without any ups or down.
According to rumours, of the same idiotic employees, she was ignorant of his looks because-
A. He was her so-called contender/rival/enemy over inheritance and
B. She was immune to his looks since they grew up together.
If they are true or not, as we go further, we will get to know for ourselves.[..hurhur]
After he was done with his breakfast, he got up to look over the outlines for the day's meeting while adjusting his cufflinks.
After she was done with the dishes, she went to him and gestured him to stand up.
As he stood up, she very naturally with trained precision, tied the necktie for him. She was about 5'8" but with her 3-inch heels she came up to his broad shoulder, her head just came up to his jaws.[...dreamy positioning, if I say so myself...hurhur]
After she was done with the tie, she lightly patted over his chest, took a deep breath and looked up with a slight smile.
It was 10:00
"It's time, CEO Qin."
He too took a deep breath and with a soft smile replied: "Let's go, Secretary Qin."
They got into the elevator and went to the floor just below, where the conference rooms for board meetings and other high-order meetings was.
After they were out of the elevator, the air around them had changed. The exuded the air of people who held power, their aura was oppressive, it was overbearing. Even the slight smile they had before, was gone.
She now had her usual poker face with an ice beauty kind of air while all of his body gave away a regal aristocratic aura.
As known and acknowledged by society-
They were, indeed, the Legacy of Qin.
