Assistant?

THIRD PERSON'S POV :

Next day morning in Shane's penthouse...

Shane and Nate are in the living area talking with each other.

"How did the shipment go last night?" Shane asked Nate.

"All good. But someone tried to steal it from the base. But Rudy captured them with a plan and made sure that everything went well." Nate said proudly. Rudy is like a younger brother to him.

"I know, that's why I sent Rudy there. He knows how to handle everything even in sudden situations." Shane said smiling proudly. "So, which idiots tried to steal our shipment?"

"That's the point, a mere local gang tried to steal. They know perfectly who we are but still tried to steal. I think there is someone behind this." Nate said thinking about who did this.

"Whoever tried this, has to be punished. Did they open their mouths?" Shane asked Nate.

"No... Looks like they don't want to tell us. I think there is a reason because they are trying so hard not to tell us about that person, even after they were beaten to death." Nate said.

Shane thought for a minute, "Did you check their backgrounds? Do they have any families living with them?" Shane asked.

"Yes, they have families. Why did you ask? We would never touch the families." Nate asked thinking about the reason.

"Think Nate, think. Why would they try so hard and resist the pain just to keep the one name a secret?" This question made Nate think. "Family...Family is everything. If our family is in danger then we would do everything, just to keep them safe." Shane said while walking towards Nate.

"Yes. That must be the reason. I'll ask Tessa to dig into their family details. I'll take care of the rest." Nate said calling Tessa, his sister and told everything.

When Nate ended the call, he saw the elevator doors opening. Alina and Jessica came outside of the elevator and walked towards them.

Nate was flattered by looking at their appearance, especially looking at Jessica. He is very attracted to her. Her wavy shiny ginger coloured hair is what he likes the most after her expressive eyes and pretty smile.

Shane observed Nate who was lost in his thoughts and looked towards the direction where Nate was seeing. He saw Alina walking along with Jessica holding a file with her. He was amazed by her smile when she talked to her friend. He is seeing her like there is no other person in the world.

He likes the way she smiles. Her dark brown black hair is dancing when she moves. She pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear showing her cute dimples. Whenever she smiles, her perfect cute dimples show and her grey cool eyes are shining like glazing stars. He was lost in her smile, this is the first time he saw her smiling. When they approached them, he composed himself and focused on his phone.

When Alina saw Nate she smiled, "Good morning Nate." Jessica smiled and blushed when she saw Nate.

"Good morning both of you," Jessica said to both Shane and Nate in her cheering self.

"Good morning beautiful ladies," Nate said with a bow. They chuckled at his gesture.

Shane rolled his eyes at Nate and turned towards Jessica, "Morning, Jessica." And he looked at Alina, "Morning, you too." He said in his usual attitude to irritate her.

"Morning," Alina replied sternly. "Do you know where Camilla is? We have to show her some plans and discuss the details." Alina asked Nate ignoring Shane Which made him angry. But who can blame her, he is the one who called her an intruder.

"She might be in her room now," Nate answered.

"Okay thank you," Alina said to Nate with a smile that made Shane angrier at Nate for an unknown reason. "Let's go, Jess." She said moving forward but Jess isn't moving from her spot. She was doing a staring contest with Nate. Alina came back and shook her which made her back to her senses and smiled sheepishly. "We have to go, Jess."

"Okay. Bye handsome." Jessica said to Nate which made Alina roll her eyes.

"Bye beautiful," Nate said grinning widely and kissed her hand which made Shane roll his eyes at him. Jessica blushed under his touch.

Alina and Jessica left to see Camilla. Shane and Nate were looking at their retrieving backs. Even after they left their eyesight, Nate is still looking in their direction.

"Keep it to yourself, Nate," Shane said clearing his throat.

Nate eye rolled. "Why, are you jealous?" Nate asked smirking.

"Why would I?" Shane asked, clueless.

"Don't worry I'm not looking at your girl," Nate said grinning.

"My girl?" Shane asked furrowing his brows.

"Stop denying Shane, I saw the way you look at her," Nate said smirking.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Shane denied.

Nate eye rolled again, "Whatever, I'm looking at my sugar fairy ginger head."

"Your what?" Shane was surprised and asked.

"Sugar fairy ginger head," Nate said grinning widely.

"What the hell is that?" Shane asked him.

"My girl's name," Nate replied smiling sheepishly.

"When the hell did she become your girl?" Shane asked knowing perfectly who he refers to.

"Since I saw her for the first time," Nate replied.

"Whatever you say," Shane replied rolling his eyes at Nate.

MEANWHILE IN OMAR'S OFFICE...

Grace went to the address which Omar gave to her the other night. She was amazed by the huge building and went inside to give him the jacket. She was even more surprised by seeing the interior of that building. Everything is so perfect for her eyes. Her dream was to work in an office like this.

"Hi, Good morning. How can I help you?" the receptionist asked Grace when she approached.

"Good morning, I came here to return something to Omar." Grace smiled and said to the receptionist.

The receptionist was surprised at first by hearing her boss's first name from her but composed herself and asked, "May I know your name?"

"Gracelyn Carter.." Grace replied.

The receptionist got the answer because her boss instructed her to send a girl whose name is Gracelyn Carter to his office when she comes. "Yes, Ms Carter, Mr King is waiting for you in his office. Please take the lift to the twenty-fifth floor and the second room to your right."

"Thank you.." Grace said with a smile.

"You're welcome.." the receptionist replied. When Grace left, the receptionist immediately called someone. "Mam, there is a girl who just came and called the boss by his first name and the boss personally instructed me to send her directly to his office when she comes." She said all the details to that person on the phone.

"Okay, I'm coming. Thanks for the details. You'll receive your reward." The person on the phone replied.

Grace reached the elevator and pressed the required floor number thinking, 'Who is He? And Why is he waiting for me? Why does the receptionist say Mr King?' she was so confused about the situation but still went to his office.

Grace knocked on the door, "Come in." Omar said.

When she entered she was surprised by seeing him in an expensive suit and also sitting on the CEO chair. She thought that he might be rich after seeing the car last night but she didn't expect this. She had never thought that he is a well-known businessman.

"Oh Hey, Grace. Come and have a seat." Omar said gesturing towards the chair opposite him with a smile. When she doesn't make a move and still stared at him in surprise, he smiled, stood from his chair and walked in her direction. He bent up to her height, her eyes followed him but were still in a haze. He chuckled seeing her reaction, "I guess you are surprised." He snapped his fingers in front of her face and she blinked her eyes confusingly. "I think I deserve this by not saying my last name last night. But you look cute." He chuckled seeing her clueless face.

"S-sorry, I haven't expected this," Grace said stuttering.

"Hey, it's okay. I already expected that reaction. Anyways...." Omar walked to his office table and gestured for her to come. "....Take this." He handed her a cover.

She was confused but took it anyway, asking him, "But, what is this?"

"Your appointment letter," Omar said with a smile and waited for her reaction.

"What?" she asked him. Shock was evident on her face.

"Yes, you'll be my personal assistant from tomorrow onwards. Well, only if you accept it though," He said. He was satisfied after seeing her surprised reaction.

"R-Re-really?" she asked him still surprised.

"Yes. Open it and see for yourself." He said gesturing to the letter in her hand. She opened the letter and read it. Her smile got bigger by the time she was finished reading the letter. Omar was even more satisfied after seeing her smile. "Well, yes or no.." he asked her.

"Of course yes." She said loudly with a huge happy smile. He chuckled at her reaction. But the smile faded after a second when she realised something. Omar was confused after seeing that.

"What happened? Aren't you happy?" he asked her.

"Of course I am happy. But, I haven't completed my college." She replied with a frown.

"That's not a problem. You can finish your college by working here so that your college fee is not a problem... King's empire will pay your tuition fee." He said assuring her.

"But, I haven't attended any interview then why did you appoint me as your Personal assistant? Don't you want to know whether I'm capable or not?" she asked him.

Omar smiled at her innocence. If he gave that offer to anyone like this, they will snatch it without a second thought. But she is really something, a very rare personality which you cannot see nowadays.

"You don't have to. You know if you have completed your college by now, many companies will offer you a job by coming to you. I saw your grades, Grace, you have an excellent GPA and you are a brilliant student that's why you got the scholarship in the first place."

"But how did you know all these things? I haven't told you anything last night except that I have lost my scholarship." She asked him.

"Well that says it all and as for your grades, I asked someone to get the details from your college and enrolled your name for the last year so that you can write the exams even by working here." He said.

"I don't even know how to Thank you enough. I really needed this." She clutched the letter to her heart and a tear escaped her eyes.

"Hey, you don't have to thank me. Just do your job perfectly and don't disappoint me. That's it." He said comforting her.

"I won't disappoint you. Thank you very much." She smiled confidently.

"You can start your job by tomorrow. Take a rest for today and come by tomorrow morning. You'll get all the details when you come here tomorrow. Just ask for Sarah in the reception, she will give you all the details about your work timings. Always come on time. Two things that I'll never tolerate are late coming and betrayal." Omar said firmly.

"I will follow the timings. And I'll never betray anyone, especially you, who helped me so much." Grace said smiling confidently which Omar replied by smiling back.

"Okay, you can go now and take a rest. Don't forget to ask Sarah about the details on your way out." Omar said.

"I will. Thank you so much." Grace said with a huge smile. She can't thank him enough for all of this. It means a lot to her.

She was about to leave after bidding her goodbye but her ankle got twisted when she suddenly turned to leave. She almost fell on her face and closed her eyes to welcome the cold floor. But she didn't, she didn't touch the floor.

She opened her eyes only to realise that a big pair of hands held her tightly, to prevent her fall. She turned to see that Omar was holding her with his hands very close to him. He was so close to her, their faces were just a few inches apart. His glowing purple eyes stared at her sparkly Hazel dark eyes. They were so lost in staring at each other's eyes forgetting about their position.

They came to their senses and adjusted their position immediately when someone opened the door abruptly and shouted after seeing their position, "What the hell is going on here?" That person asked.

Omar saw the person at the door and was shocked to see her in his office at this time, "Catherine?"

"Catherine, What are you doing here?" Omar asked her about her sudden visit.

Catherine walked towards them and saw Grace with a cold look and turned to ask Omar, "What's going on here Omar?"

"I was just helping her to stand up. She almost fell on the floor." Omar said frankly.

Catherine looked at Grace seriously but immediately changed her expression, "Are you alright?" Catherine asked Grace with fake concern.

"Yes, thanks to Om- I mean Mr King," Grace said. She has to use his last name from now on as his new assistant. She has to adjust to this because she only got to know about his last name today.

"That's good to hear." Catherine smiled and said in a fake tone.

"By the way Catherine, she is my new assistant, Grace." Omar introduced. Grace smiled and said Hello but her smile immediately faded when she heard, "Grace, this is my girlfriend Catherine." Catherine smiled like she won a jackpot when Omar introduced her.

"Congrats on your new job," Catherine said with a fake smile.

"Thank you," Grace said uncomfortably.

"You can go now, get the details from Sarah. I already told her everything." Omar said to Grace after seeing her being uncomfortable in front of Catherine.

"Okay, thank you," Grace said and left the office. She felt a stinging feeling in her heart when Omar introduced his girlfriend and she doesn't even know why she felt like that.
