Chapter Three

Malena POV

I just received the call from Perez company and I was employed as his secretary. I didn't even do anything great. He just asked me useless questions.

How can this be true? Did Christian recognize me? Or else why?

But do I want to work with him? Maybe I don't have any other choice.

I got ready and wore my cream colored top and a pencil skirt. It stopped above my knees. I tied my hair in a ponytail tail.

I looked at my watch and it's already 7:45am.I have to reach at 8. I ran to my door without even having breakfast. My poor stomach, I don't know when I'm gonna have lunch...

I parked my car and looked at my watch, it's 7:59am.

I ran towards the elevator and I knew people were looking at me, maybe even laughing at me. As I reached the elevator I pressed the button thousands time.

"I hope you're not gonna break it" a voice came behind me and I turned guiltily to see Christian looking at me, amused.

What's so amusing in this?

"I guess you're late Ms Wells" he said in a fake mocking tone,looking at his 'I cannot afford this' watch.

"I was stuck in the traffic Mr Perez" I lied.

"Well the place where you live I don't think there was any traffic on the way Ms Wells" he teased.

"I'm sorry sir" I said softly, looking at the floor.

He held my hand and dragged me to the private elevator. He pressed the button and we waited for the elevator.

"You can take this elevator. I don't want my secretary to to use the elevator other use" he said with a serious face.

As we were waiting my stomach betrayed me when it growled. Embarrassment... I  wanted to dig a hole and hide myself in it from everyone... From Christian.

I kept staring at the ground not daring to look at Christian.

"You didn't eat anything?" he asked sighing.

I remained silent staring the ground. He then grabbed my wrist and dragged me with him.

Why this guy likes to drag me everywhere with him?

We reached the parking lot and he told me to get inside his 'you cannot afford this even' car.

"Are we going somewhere? I don't think you have any meeting." Still no answer.

"Are going to meet a client but why will you go? Is there something you want to do?"

He didn't even shake or nod his head. How rude!

We stopped in front of a fancy restaurant and yes I can't afford this too.

He literally dragged me inside. I saw people sitting and talking to each other. Their manners, clothes everything were beyond my reach.

I saw Christian talking to some person maybe the manager or something but yes the restaurant's employee.

And we got a table and there not even a single person near us. Did he book the whole floor? Or are people scared to sit next to him?

I looked at him confusingly. He pointed to the menu in front of me and said "order whatever you want to."

Is he talking to me? I looked around and there was not a single soul except me.

"You want me to order?" he asked again, pretty annoyed.

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked finally.

"No" he scowled.

"Then why sir?" I asked softly.

"Let me make it clear Ms Wells. Never miss any of your meal for the so called work" he said and took the menu and ordered for me.

As the waitress brought me my breakfast, I quickly ate it to save some time from the awkward silence.

The time I finished I looked up and found Christian looking at me like I have grown two heads.

Then self consciousness hit me, I wiped my mouth if there was something but I don't think there was anything on my face.

"Malena...." he said my name again and damn it was hella sexy. I will pay dollars to hear my name from him, oh wait I'm broke.

The waitress interrupted our wordless conversation and I reached for my purse to pay but Christian already paid for it.

"Sir, I was going to pay" I said.

"But I paid" he smirked. And hell his smirk is sexy too.

No Malena what the hell you thinking? Did you forgot that humiliation? Don't fall for him again. You'll get nothing.

"Let's go" he said.

I followed him without saying a word.

The whole drive, no one said a word and we reached his office.

He showed me my room. I took a look at the files and then started reading them.

After an hour or two I got a call. I picked up it up.

"Hello, Perez Pvt Limited I'm Malena Wells, Mr Perez's secretary"

"Where is Christian?" the woman on the line asked me, not bothering to greet.

"May I know who am I talking to?" I asked politely ignoring the fact that this woman is f*cking rude.

"Tell Christian to pick my calls. And tell him now that I want to meet him and I am coming to meet him" she yelled at me. But why me?

"Ma'am may I know your name?"

"Lexy Rosewood" she replied arrogantly.

"Okay ma'am I'll tell Mr-" she hung up the phone.

Lexy Rosewood?

I knocked on the door and went inside to find Christian doing his work. His coat was hanging on the back of his seat and his tie was loose. The top three buttons were unbuttoned giving me a view that was worth it.

"Yes, Ms Wells?" he smirked.

I cleared my throat and said "Some Lexy Rosewood called and told me that she is coming to meet you. And she even said that she wants you to pick up her calls"

I saw his face changed. His hands curled into fist.

He nodded and I left. But who was this Lexy Rosewood?

As I came out of the room I bumped into a woman which made me loose my balance and I fell on the floor.

I looked up and saw the famous Hollywood actress Lexy Rosewood.

Fuck... Was she the one who called me?

"You b!tch get away and let me go inside" she yelled.

Damn she is rude.

I got up and moved.

I wonder what's happening inside?

But who cares.... Whatever happens that's none of my business.

I am not falling for him again. He is a playboy and I should remember this.
