More Than A Secretary novel Chapter 3

"I promise Kat you are not babysitting anyone."

"Oh, that too,"-

"What?" he asked looking confused.

"You called me Kat you have never done that before."

"Oh yeah, I know why haven't I?  I like Kat or should I call you Trina or Rina those sounds nice too but Kat is my favorite."

"Oh stop it, Lucas, be serious what do you want from me??"

Katrina asked getting annoyed and yet no knowing why she is annoyed. This was what she had wanted all these years right? For Lucas to give her his attention and for the attention to not be work-related but this must be work-related maybe that why she is annoyed one minute they were a boss and a secretary and the next they are talking as if they are close and he was making her feel different emotions at the same time hope excited annoyance and all that he was evoking different feelings in her feeling he won't take responsibility for.

"Katrina" he called

"Yes" she answered

"I am sorry I offended you I was just trying to be."

"See that's another thing you never do you never apologize to me or anyone," she said cutting him short.

"Okay, let talk about th...

The ringing of the phone on the table beside him cut him off he looked at the person calling.

" Excuse me Kat I need to take this call but we will continue this discussion later. He said as he picked up the phone and answered the call.

" No, we won't,"

Katrina said more to herself as turned and left the office.

Going back to her desk Katrina felt even more confused. what just happened? She thought. one minute they were talking about a trip and the next they were practically bickering. Who bickers with her boss?

She couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She just knew it, Lucas was up to something. And she is gonna find out soon.

She let the thought off and concentrated on sorting the applicant files and also making preparations for the upcoming trip.

When she finally, raised her head it was almost three o clock. Time for the meeting with the Dubai investors.

She saved her progress, picked up the files related to the Dubai deal on her desk, her tab, and walked to Lucas's office.

"Sir, it's time for the meeting with the Dubai investors. I mean Lucas." She added when he looked at her strangely.

"Hmm, I already did that," he replied casually.

"What? When??" She asked confused as f*ck. When did he start going on meetings without her??

"When I left the office ma."

"But the meeting was supposed to be by 3 pm, I don't understand." She said looking at him intently.

"It's simple Kat, you had a lot on your plate, and the team from Dubai called that they will like to move the meeting forward when I came to your office to tell you, you were so concentrated that you didn't even notice my presence. So I just opt for going myself since your presence wasn't required much and I figured it will be less stressful for you. Did I do something bad?".

He asked after explaining.

" No, you didn't it's just that...

"That what?" He asked when she didn't finish her statement.

That you being nice to me will fill my head with thoughts, thoughts that are not gonna be good for me in the long run. She thought to herself.
