More Than A Secretary novel Chapter 10

"Wow, you are doing good, I wish I can be like you,"

"Baby girl, you can't, remember when Brandon broke up with you? You spent the whole academy section looking like a widow," he said laughing at her past heartbreak moments.

"Don't bring that up, I was stupid then, I can't even remember what I liked about Brandon,"

"Your teenaged self remembers though, anyway, Max the guy I am going on a date with, he has been asking me out for a while now but I have been turning him down since I was supposed to be in a relationship but now I am free so I am gonna check him out but it nothing serious though, true love doesn't exist," he said getting up to serve them food, "except it one-sided like yours,"

He added throwing her a backward glance, she threw the napkin on the table at him but he caught it and threw it back at her, she stood up to help set the table and remembered she has not told him that her travel has been moved forward.

"I forgot to mention we are leaving tomorrow not Thursday,"

She revealed.

"What? I thought it's Thursday?"

"Yeah, it was but Lucas said we have to leave tomorrow, you know the way he is,"

"I hate your boss I still don't know what you like about him,"

"He is your boss too you know, he owns the company,"

"Not directly my boss though, my boss is an angel and if he wasn't already married I would have seduced him."

He replied flipping his invisible hair.

"But let's be serious though, as much as I don't like this fake girlfriend ideal, now that I have thought about it again, you should do it, girl, I know you already made up your mind to do it anyway, I am just saying you can use it to test if what you feel for him is real love or if it just in your head, you know what I am saying right?"

He said as they sat down in front of the TV watching their favorite TV series,"

"I am offended by your words Jordan, I am twenty-eight years old not eighteen or sixteen, I know what I feel,"

She reprimanded.

"That's what you say but you act like sixteen years old in love for the first time, I already told you to tell your boss how you feel about him, get it off your chest, tell him he doesn't have to be responsible for it but you just want him to know but you said no and have been carrying a one-sided love for over six years now,"

"It's not up to six years and I can't tell him that, that will be selfish of me and I don't want him to have to be cautious around me or maybe worst fire me if he gets too uncomfortable."
