Carly’s POV

She stare at me, looking more quiet than usual.

I heard my name “ yes Mrs Grayson I answered”.

“Do you want me to help you with something” I asked.

She ignore me.

Can I see you in my office for few minutes.

“Yes Ma” I answered.

I walked behind along to her office.

Creakkkk… I open the door for her.

She looked so pissed than usual.

I wonder what’s happening and why do I have to be the one to feel the heat.

Then she breaks silence.

You see I don’t normally do things like this but it seems your case is beginning to turn into something I always avoid just like the previous secretary here.

“My face changed what is this about” I said to myself.

She paused for sometime.

Too quiet.

She looked at me.

This time our eyes met.

Finally she uttered a word.

“What’s going on between you and my husband” she asked, moving closer to me.

I swallowed hard.

Feeling suffocated heat by her closeness.

Nothing.

“I don’t have anything to do with your husband” I answered.

Our eyes met she kept staring.

You really took me for a fool that doesn’t understand things going on around her, even though I barely listen to gossips around my work space.

Her voice came out menacingly soft.

Things don’t stay hidden forever.

I believe you use socials and saw what today’s post is all about, can you explain that .

The headline says, The Ceo and his secretary caught sneaking together in an hotel .

I caught my breath.

Are you sleeping with my husband?

What???

I widened my eyes in Suprise.

Don’t you dare lie to my face, she said.

I clear my throat.

“Mrs Grayson I knew he’s your husband and I knew my boundaries. And I can be wherever my boss wants me to go with him.”

It’s just a misunderstanding ma.

And I’m just doing my job.

Then she screams that calls the attention of other staffs but they wouldn’t dare to intervene.

She moved closer to me .

“What did you just say?”

Smack!

She slapped me.

“Just doing your job my foot.”

“I won’t permit useless slut around my husband.

Cheap Lier .

Everywhere went silent I could hear voices outside.

My cheek already turns red.

I stood breathing heavily, while holding my face.

Please Mrs Grayson, I don’t know what you’re talking about it seems strange to me.

I seriously don’t know, I said while trying to hold my tears.

Please!!

She show a fake smile.

She moved towards me again.

I shifted back.

My hands began to tremble.

What’s going in her head right, “I said to myself.”

Make me understand why you were in an hotel with my husband.

You think I’ll call you in here without an evidence.

She brought out her phone to show me.

“I looked closely at her phone.”

My vision became blurred.

No, this can’t be real I couldn’t find the right word.

But I.

I stare at the pictures.

“I haven’t been to this location, not to mention the hotel” I said to her.

“Then who’s in this picture is it me?” she asked.

I don’t know.

I also don’t understand it.

Three Months Earlier…

I was in my apartment when my phone buzzed, I received a notification from my mail.

“What could this be” I said to myself.

I unlocked my phone to check the recent mails then I saw a message from GraysonEnterprise.

I couldn’t wait to read it out few weeks ago my friend told me about a secretary position is open at her work place.

She works at the company, And talks about it with her boss that makes things easier than Ikoyi could ever imagined.

I was told to send my credentials via mail, and I’ll receive a response after the ceo decision.

Today’s the day I couldn’t rushed to check the feedback immediately.

Fears grip me.

What if I was rejected.

My heart skipped.

I stared at my phone screen .

Grayson Enterprises.

I clicked on it.

“Dear Miss Carly Raye,” we received your application for the secretary position here at our company we will like to have you here for an interview next week before the ceo comes to any conclusion.

Thank you and have a nice day .

Grayson Enterprises.

I felt relieved for a while after closing my mail box even though I haven’t heard a positive response yet.

But this sounds convincing enough, have been applying to several companies for years now there was no space for trial.

How Will I have years of experience.

“After closing the mail,” I leaned my back on the bed.

“Staring at the ceiling” and thought back to me.

This company is one the success in this and ceo is a multi million a man with higher reputation.

I hope turns out well.

Working in a firm like that will make my life much easier.

The rest of the week runs out fast.
