BILLIONAIRE’S SECRETARY

He could still feel the pains below his abdomen that Nicole caused last night in her drunken state of mind.

“I am certain she remembered what she did to me last night, that is why she ran away without showing appreciation for what I did for her because she was embarrassed,” he thought to himself and smiled.

He got up from the bed because he had to brush his teeth and wash his face, that was a daily routine he created for himself.

On his way, he picked up a piece of paper that was kept on top of his office journal. He picked it up and smiled like a child as he got his signature on the piece of paper. It stated,

LETTER OF APPRECIATION

Good morning, Caregiver,

I am sorry for leaving without appreciating your kind gestures last night.

I want to use this medium to thank you for taking the time to look after me while I was wasted last night.

I was shocked to wake up on your bed, but I appreciate that.

You help me out when I was drunk last night without minding who I was and all that has explained to me that not everyone is so selfish, and I promised myself this instant that I would pay this help back to someone in need of it, and that would be an encouraging and great action I would be taking in my life that would make a crucial difference in my life to help people in need like I was in need, and I hope that would be you.

I hope I can pay this respect back to you, so that one day when you are in need, all you need to do is count on me.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I am so sorry for this long explanation. I just wanted to thank you for the kind gesture you expressed to me, but I found my hand eager to write more. I also hope we never cross paths again except when you are in need. Sincerely,

Nicole.

Raymond finished reading the appreciation letter and couldn’t help but laugh at Nicole’s mindset.

“So she hopes we never cross paths again,” he thought to himself as he dropped the piece of paper and laughed out loud as he walked into the bathroom.

I sat on the chair as she stared at the brown envelope in her hand and wondered what was written inside of it.

“Open it and make sure to read it carefully,” Mr. Gavriel said as he relaxed on his chair and stared at her.

I opened the envelope and brought out the documents inside, they were two in number, and they were neatly bound together.

“One is your copy, and the other is mine,” Mr. Gavriel explained. “So read it, and when you are through with it and you are ready to sign it, you will have to give me my own copy.”

“And do not forget to ask me questions about any word or sentence you do not understand,” he added, grinning at no one in particular.

I nodded.

After taking a few moments to put myself together before reading the employment contract, which was currently in my hand,

Once again, I glanced around the office and then back to the contract in her hand.

Mr. Gavriel was intensely watching her steady eye movements as he kept on wondering how I would react if she found out what her punishment was. “Yes, she deserves to pay for what she did to me at the bar, how could she be so reckless and wasted even at the fact she knew she was a lady? Anyway, that isn’t my business, my business right now is for her to sign that paper and remain my dominant for eternity, that is all I want right now,” Mr. Gavriel said to himself as he saw his veins pop out with anger as he remembered how she threw up on him.

So disgusting.

So irritating.

I slowly opened the first page.

The employment contract was something, and I am sure some lawyer helped him with this, I thought as I glanced at him, and when our eyes met, I glanced away immediately.

And I slipped again and saw the heading.

AGREEMENT FOR APPOINTMENT OF SEAMUS GROUP OF COMPANY SECRETARY AND SUBMISSIVE TO THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, MR GAVRIEL SEAMUS.

Still holding the document in my hands, my face bore a dumbfounded expression with my eyes still fixed on the heading of the paper. What did he mean by being submissive to the chief executive officer, or was that the punishment he was giving to me?

I let it go as I continued navigating through the document and made sure to read and understand every single word there.

“Excuse me, sir, am I going to sign this contract today?” I asked Mr. Gavriel, “Signing the contract depends on you, your work contract alongside your punishment is stated there, so signing it means you are going to work there and also serve your punishment.” Mr. Gavriel explained as I just stared at him without saying a word.

I faced the document again, and this time I was reading and making sure I asked questions about the parts I found hard to understand.

The contract stated a lot of things, like that I would be given free medical help.

I would be entitled to receive $50, 000 every month, as and when decided by the board of directors.

I would not be entitled to any leave throughout my stay working as the secretary, even when I am sick. WHAT!!

“Excuse me, Mr. Gavriel, it says here that I would not be entitled to any leave throughout my stay working as the secretary, even when I am sick? How?” I asked because I needed an explanation on this.

This is not a punishment but wickedness.

“Well, you have no other option except that you have somewhere else you plan on submitting your application letter again,” Mr. Gavriel explained.

I was so short of words.

It also stated that I will be working full-time for the Seamus Group of Companies and that I will not accept the position of secretary or otherwise with any other company, person, or firm.

It also stated that the secretary will be bound to attend to all administration matters, and such other matters will be assigned to me by the board of directors or the managing director from time to time.

And without prejudice to the generality of the said obligations,

That was understandable. I quickly flipped through the pages while I searched for where to put my signature.

“Are you sure you read everything?” Mr. Gavriel queried when he said I was about to sign.

“Yes, I am done going through the contract,” I replied.

“You seem so naive, okay, since you claim you are done going through the pages of the contract, which I am sure you didn’t get, it would just help you state the most important thing there, which is your punishment,” Mr. Gavriel said as he got up from where he was sitting and walked towards the window.
