"Sir Luhan! Do you need anything else?" I asked my most handsome and kindest boss, when our meeting was over.
"I'll just ask you if you have already submitted the report to Mr. Mallari?" I nodded while smiling.
"Of course Sir, am I still?" He just smiled at me and again he looked back at his laptop.
Sir is used to me, during my time working here. My job is really an executive assistant but I feel like I'm also his secretary, its okay just for the one I love the most. It's not that big and my salary isn't small either but that's enough for me, I've been here for five years, I've been by his side for five years and I'm doing everything to make him notice me but still failed..
I do all his favors but nothing, I'm still hoping even if he has a fiancée .. I feel like they won't last even though they've been together for two years because I still believe that Sir Luhan and I will get married in the end.
I giggled weakly when I returned to my cubicle which was also in Sir's office.
"Pearl." I almost deleted a file I was going to save when I heard Sir call me.
"Why?" I can't look at him anymore because of what I'm doing.
"Are you free this lunch?" My heart beats faster as I could no longer move in my seat. Is that right, what I heard?
"Uhmm.. Yes, Sir. I have nothing to do." Even if there really is, of course I won't miss the first time he invited me to eat with him.
"Then let's eat lunch together, later." I can't answer yet because I may not be able to hide the pity I feel.
***
I really fixed myself because maybe Sir will take me to a social and expensive restaurant but that's only what I thought. We only ate lunch at his office and bought a delivery food for us, but that's fine with me, I appreciate all the things he did for me.
"Pearl, where do you think it's good to honeymoon just in case?" Sir really often consults me but I don't expect his question, does he plans to marry his fiancee? I swallowed what I was chewing first and then answered.
"In Boracay, Sir?" Why did Sir even ask that? So maybe he would have lunch with me to ask for suggestions again, maybe later I will be their wedding organizer as well.
"How about when abroad, where do you think?"
"In Maldives?" Because if I'm the one asked it's the place I'm dreaming of if Sir and I would go.
"I'll suggest it to Mariana." He said.
Mariana is her fiancee, of course for whom else?
"Are you getting married, sir?" I even tried to smile when I asked that.
"Hmm .. I don't know if she wants it this year but we're already planning. And by the way, I will be needing your help in planning our wedding." Mam Mariana is really lucky, Sir loves her very much, I don't know why. Even she's always in the U.S. while I'm just here.
I said goodbye to Sir first, to go to the comfort room, because I was really shocked that he wanted to get married..
I thought next year, then he also wanted me to help them. Can I refuse? Maybe later I can just sabotage their marriage..
I want to but I don't want to interfere with what makes him happy. When I came out of the restroom, I didn't expect I would see Sir here either, did he wait for me?
"W-why, sir?" I asked nervously, what else does he want this time.
"We have something to talk about." It looks like he's going to say something serious.
Is that about his rival? The man that is in the number one spot in the Top Entrepreneurs in the Country because him and Sir, always took turns in that position. But of course my Sir Luhan won't lose there, even if Mr. Javier holds the award for being The Hottest CEO and being the country's top billionaire.
For me, Sir is better, smarter and kinder, in fact, I still don't know Mr. Javier. But he always opposes Sir Luhan, because he has already told him that he seems to want to overthrow Sir. He said he already knew it and seemed to like that he was always in the lead.
"I'll be staying at New York for one week, so you'll take over the whole corp." My jaw dropped at what Sir said.
"W-what?"
"Mariana and I just wanted to take a vacation, and also I trust you.. You've been there for me for almost five years, and I believe in you, as much as you have helped me in running my businesses, I know that you can do this. " I can't help but smile because he always trusts me. But can I really?
"Why not just Sir Edward?" Because when Sir used to leave, his best friend would take over.
"You know that guy, Pearl, he'll surely bring girls to my office again and I don't want it. You're here too, so why not, you?" By the way, his great friend is a womanizer.. But because Sir Luhan gives me his trust, I will not waste it and I will do everything I can.
"Thank you, for your trust, Sir. Promise, I will never disappoint you." I was really overwhelmed. Sir nodded and then left some more of what I had to do.
"Before I forget, you'll be meeting up with Mr. Javier, I think he will offer a partnership together with one of our companies.. But I'm not sure what his agenda really is so you better come prepared." I was suddenly nervous. Our toughest opponent wants a meeting with us?... It's right to be prepared, maybe later that man is planning something to ruin our company.
"Okay, Sir. Is there any more?" Suddenly Sir got up from his swivel chair and I was surprised when he approached me and hugged me. I could hardly move and I was just a statue in my position.
"Thank you so much for everything, Pearl. I don't know if I would have reached this position now without you, you've been there for me since I started. You didn't leave me even when the company seemed to be falling down, you always brought good vibes to me and you also helped me to fix our problems.. I don't know how will I thank you, but maybe I can help you whether you need anything." My heart seemed to explode. He hugged me for the first time, and thanked me like this. Can it just never end? And if I ever ask for a return, you can just love me, Sir Luhan, that's really what I've been hoping for a long long time.
"Ehem! Ehem!" Sir immediately released me, and the two of us turned to look at that man. It's just Sir Edward.
"How about me, no hug?" I laughed then, he even lowered his voice and it seemed like his eyes were teasing.
I exited because when Sir Edward talks to me it feels like he seems to suspect that I like Sir Luhan. So as much as possible, I will avoid him so that he won't notice me again.
***
It's been THREE DAYS since Sir left.. And even though I'm the boss now here at LM Group of Companies, I still shouldn't be chilling. This position and its duties are no joke.
Suddenly, Sir Edward's secretary Chynna, my friend, entered my office for now.
"Lucky you, girl!"
"Hey! Lucky?! It's so hard, there's so much to do!" I put first my cellphone at the report paper that I was reading to talk to Chynna for a while.
"What are you doing here?" I asked her.
"I will be your secretary and now you have a meeting with.." Oh! I was suddenly nervous, Sir Luhan had already told me about this! Omg! Now I'm going to meet up with Mr. Javier.
“I haven’t learned much about Javier Corporation and Mr. Javier.. I should at least know something about him.. " I just slapped my forehead.
"Should you still study the famous and very hot Mr. Javier? You should already know him! He's so famous! You're really lucky! You're just meeting the one and only Zayn Gustave Javier! Omg!" She screamed deafeningly. Is that person really that hot? But I don't care how hot he is because he is the only very persistent rival of Sir Luhan.
"If you want, you can work for him! I have to be critical later on whatever that man's plans are, Sir Luhan and I don't know his mindset and his plan because he wants to overthrow us. That's all he's sure goal!" I scolded at Chynna.
