Chereads / Attracted To My Secretary / Chapter 5 - First Approach

Chapter 5 - First Approach

REGAL'S POV:

I paused for a while. She was so beautiful, I could see her through the glass door at the entrance. Her emerald eyes and glowing skin were so attractive. She was like an angel sent from heaven. She looked more beautiful compared to the first day I saw her, I was totally taken aback by her beauty. I didn't realize I was still standing outside until I heard a car honk. I turned to look who it was and to my surprise it was my Dad, he didn't inform me before coming. I was even more shocked when I saw Mr Rogers with him. "What were these men doing here ?" I asked myself. I walked to the car to usher them into my office. While we were walking, I tried to conduct myself so as not to give a bad first impression in front of Mia. When we were approaching her desk, she stood up to welcome us. "Good morning sir" Mia said respectfully. I responded calmy also then I introduced her as my new secretary to my dad and Mr Rogers and I also complimented her not minding that it was her first day at work just to impress her. My dad saw the way I complimented her so much and he suspected something was going on. After I introduced Mia, we went to my office to discuss about some business deals. I got to know Mr Rogers had a daughter and she had a contract for me. After we talked for about two hours, they were set to leave. I called Mia into my office to reschedule my meetings I had for the day. She did that in a haste and asked if there was anything else I would love her to do. I wanted to have lunch with her but I couldn't tell her because I felt it was too early to do that so I told her I would call her anytime I needed her. I couldn't concentrate very well because she occupied my mind. I have never felt like this for anyone, the feelings were become stronger each day. Lunch time came in no time, I saw her get up and it seemed she was heading to the Cafeteria. I also decided to go grab lunch there. As I was approaching the cafeteria, I felt people were looking because it was very rare for me to get Lunch myself. I bumped into someone while I was trying to avoid the gazes of people. It was Mia, her food and drink spilled on my shirt and immediately she noticed it was me, she started apologizing. "It's okay Mia" I immediately stopped her. "Let me get you another meal" I pulled her up and then grabbed her hands. "You didn't have to do this sir, I could have just gotten another meal myself" She sincerely said. "I should be the one apologizing not you Mia". I could hear whispers of people but of course I didn't pay attention to them. "My name is Regal Bryson, I am the only child of my parents. You look so beautiful by the way" I complimented her looks. I could see her cheek turn red instantly. We talked for a while and we walked together to the office.

*************************************** MIA'S POV:

I returned to my desk after lunch. The atmosphere became cold, I could feel people staring at me especially cold gazes from the female workers. "Was it because I had lunch with Mr Regal ?" I thought. I remembered what they said about him this morning and I could feel that anger build up in me again. There was this part of me that was also glad we had lunch and had to get to know each other better. I was beginning to like Mr Regal even without me knowing him too well. I really hoped we had a long lasting relationship. I had files I needed to work on so I immediately started working. I hurriedly finished up my work because we were almost done for the day. I told Mr Regal I was done for the day and I needed his permission to leave. He asked me if he could drop me off but I declined though I wanted to him to. On my way home, I called Liam and narrated all that happened at my office. "He is nice, though I didn't expect him to be that nice to the extent of sitting with me in the Cafeteria, buying me food and even grabbed my hands in public without paying attention to peoples' side talks. "I hope this continues" I said with a light smile. We talked on the phone until I got home. My mom and my little brother were watching Tv, Jace on hearing my footsteps ran to me happily. "How you doing Jake" I was surprised seeing my brother this happy. I fell on the couch tiredly, I was too tired to talk so I told Mom I needed to rest before I went to my room. I was pulling off my clothes and shoes when I heard my phone ring. "Who's this ?" I asked sleepily "It is Regal, Mia" the man over the phone said. I was shocked when I heard him say that because I wasn't expecting any call from him. "Just wanted to know if you were home already" "Yes I am home thanks for asking sir" I said while pulling off my shoes. "Make sure you rest well and be early to work tomorrow" I heard him light chuckle "Ok sir I definitely will, Goodnight sir" I said before he cut the call. "Knock knock" I saw my mom enter. She brought my dinner to my room. Although I was tired to talk, we talked a bit, I tried not to sleep off while talking but I eventually did. Mom noticed I had fallen asleep already so she managed to clear the plates and laid me well on the bed.
