Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 5

Janice did not like Ariana because she believes that she used some notorious ways to get into this position. She just left University with no experience and furthermore, Secretary hires are normally a promoted agent from the Administration Department and the department never had five Secretaries at once. It was always four and they did not have a high workload for the company to recruit someone else.

Ariana was shocked by the sudden change but she quickly adjusted herself because the cruelty of Fearon's home had prepared her for people like her.

Ariana did not want to cause any trouble so she did as asked.

…

President’s Office

“Alex, how is Ms. Fearon catching on?” Michael asked while burying his head in his computer.

Alex did not know if he should tell the boss that Janice had her clean the entire Secretary room even though they already hired someone for that. “She is doing quite fine sir.” He lied.

“Good. Ask her to come to my office.” Michael thought of something else and instructed Alex.

“Yes sir.” Alex left to complete his task.

Five minutes later, a knock came to the door. “Come in.”

Ariana opened the door and went in. “President Matthews, you asked to see me?” Ariana approached him formally because she doubted the mighty president from the wealthiest family in Westron City could remember her. She was not counting on it. Ariana looked around in the office and it looked quite exquisite and manly. The walls painted in gray and the furniture are all black.

“Yes, I am going out for lunch and I want you to come with me.”

Ariana was dumbstruck for a moment with her mouth in an ‘O’ shape. Ariana got back her voice shortly, “President, do not want to trouble you.”

He got up and walked over to her and closed the gap between them, “I asked you to come with me so how would it be a trouble to me.” Ariana’s heart started beating wildly in her chest instantly and she wanted to step back but he suddenly held onto her waist. ‘Is he flirting with me?’ ‘He might just be messing around. These big shots like to mess around with a plaything but I am not that type of woman’.

When he noticed Ariana went blank again, he chuckled and loosen his grip from her waist, “Don’t worry, I still owe you for saving me.”

When Ariana heard his words she felt relieved at first and then it slowly turned into bitterness ‘so this was the reason’. She calmed herself and replied, “You don’t need to do that, I helped you because I wanted to, besides, I didn’t think you would have remembered me.”

“Why wouldn’t I?” he sneered and checked the gold watch on his left arm. “Let us get going.” Ariana had no choice but to follow. They took the elevator for Executive staff down to the underground parking lot.

 After getting into the car, Ariana and Michael sat on either side of the window while Alex drove. The car was moving for about 15 minutes to their destination. They enter a five-star hotel called Borax Hotel that is actually owned by the Matthews’ Group. It was Ariana’s first time coming here.

Michael walked in first where he was greeted by the Manager, “Good Afternoon Mr. Matthews.” Michael responded with a nod.

“Sir, Mr. Johnson is waiting inside your private room for you.” The Manager said with his head slightly bowed.
