20 She Is Doomed

Isla stood there in the living room, flabbergasted. She doesn't understand him at all and mind you, it's frustrating.

" Secretary? For you?" She asked, still thinking that she heard it wrong. Meanwhile, leo looked at her with intense gaze.

" Yes. Be my secretary. In that way, you won't think that you are a bother to me, which you are not, atleast not financially." Leo stated, hands in his pocket.

Silence stretched in between them as they stood there just looking at eachother.

" I -- I am not even qualified." Isla said as he fidgeted with her fingers.

" Exactly you are not qualified and for that you need to complete your qualifications but because you are stubborn, work under me for a while and complete your qualifications as well. " Leo said and went into the attached kitchen and took a water bottle from the fridge. He casually sat on the kitchen stool as he gulped the water.

" I don't needed your favor."

" I am not doing any favor, really." Leo confirmed. " You would be working under me and by that, I mean that you would really be working. I won't treat you any different than I treat my other employees."

" It would be way better than working at some rusty cafe and not get paid properly." Leo said sternly. " You can think for a while. I have to go back to office."

And with that said, Leo left the room and his beautiful ' wife ' there, alone.

Isla watched him go and huffed in annoyance.

How could he pretend that he can control everything?

But yet again, he is the one taking care of Isla who is practically broke college student.

With a sigh, Isla got herself changed into a comfy pair of leggings and oversized t-shirt.

Mind empty and confused as she sat on the sofa, legs pulled against her chest and some kdrama running on the TV but Isla wasn't paying much attention to it.

To be honest, the proposal of Leo sounds perfect. She can work under him and earn enough money to complete her qualifications.

She now has to wait for Leo to come back home.

..............

Later that night, leo came back from the office. He kicked his shoes off and took off his coat too , feeling too hot at the moment. He marched his way towards the kitchen to grab something from the fridge because today was a hectic day, clients after clients. All he wants to do right now is get sprawled on his warm inviting bed.

" Leo." A sweet voice called and Leo knew the owner of this voice. His wife had really a bad habit of being in a dark room.

He grabbed a Apple from the fridge and turned on the light before turning around to look at his wife , who was, surprisingly wearing a oversized hoodie and no pants, letting her legs bare

Leo immediately turned to look at her face instead of the legs because apparently getting a boner out of nowhere, is not so polite.

" What?" Leo asked trying to regain his tsundere aura back and he did it effectively because Isla fidgeted, again.

" I agree." She said, voice Extremely low.

" Agree to what?" Leo asked as he took a knife to cut the Apple into pieces. Isla watched as how precisely he was cutting the apple, delicately and equally. To be honest, Isla finds him out but he is odd.

" I agree to be your secretary." She confirmed and Leo smirked as he already knew that her answer would be that.

" Very well then." Leo said as he put the knife down . " I want you to be at office sharp at 7 am. Be late for even 1 minute and your monthly pay would be deducted." He said, voice ice cold and Isla knew that he wasn't joking.

If he ever jokes, Isla is sure that she will be scared more than she is scared of the joker from the movie.

" Okay."

" No one should know that you are my wife. At work you are Isla Wright. Am I clear?" Leo asked and she nodded.

Well, who wants to be called a wife of some handsome jerk like him?

" My current secretary will message you the address of my company. Rules will be provided to you after you come to my office tomorrow and I want you to follow them all." He instructed.

" Okay."

" Well, goodnight then." And without waiting for a reply, he made his way towards his room.

Isla let out a breath she didn't knew she was holding as she watched her husband's retreating back.

Tomorrow will be a big day.

.........

Yes, indeed, today is the big day.

" What the hell have I done?" Isla panicked as she fell butt first on the ground beside her bed.

" Isla why are you so stupid?" She scolded herself while pulling her hairs off.

" Ahhhhhhhhhh."

" You can do nothing write!"

" Why? God why?"

She continued screaming at herself as anxiety took the best of her.

You may think why?

Well , the clock on her phone was already showing 7:30, she is 30 minutes late on her very first work day.

Yes, indeed, she is doomed.
