Chapter - 4 Assigned to the Devil

Riana took a deep breath and joined the throng of crowd walking towards the elevators. She observed the elegant and classy surroundings around her that screamed high class in every direction and let out a deep sigh, "Capitalism!"

She walked towards the 15th floor, where the Human resources department was located.

" Riana! " she heard Lily's excited voice from the corridor.

"Hey Lily , seems like it's a good news? " Riana smilingly enquired.

"Yes! I was assigned to Miss Vienna!! I'm so happy!"

"Oh" Riana's mouth twitched.

"What's with that bland expression? Aren't you happy for me?" Lily puffed out her cheeks in anger.

'Cute!' Riana thought inwardly.

She pulled Lily towards a corner and whispered in her ear.

"Really??", Lily was flabbergasted.

"Yes. I have a reliable source. She's not as elegant as her outside facade.There are lots of rumour of her arrogance and bad temper.She has changed many assistants for the past few months. Be careful and try not to get on her bad side".

Lily calmed down and said, "Thanks for the heads up Riana. Let's catch up for a meal later."

" Ok then, see you! "

Riana stared at Lily's disappearing silhouette and wondered in her heart, 'Fate sure is a funny thing. Wonder how my mission is going to progress?'

She turned around and knocked on the HR department' s office.

A bright red head poked out of the door.

" Hello, you are?"

"Hi, I am Adriana Blaze. Reporting on my first day ".

"Oh! So you are Adriana! Nice to meet you.I'm Ash. The Chief stepped out for a moment.Let me handover your duties," he smiled politely.

A quarter of an hour later , Riana stood stunned with her joining copy in her hand.

How did it end up this way??

She was assigned to the DEVIL.

....

" Ria!!" came an enthusiastic voice from the other end of the phone.

RICK Oak Shield!!! Didn't you say this mission has nothing to do with the Ivan Woods? and you'd have us avoid him as much as possible?? What's up with this order then??

"Calm down Ria.What happened? Did you get assigned to HIM? Wasn't he notorious for never taking in outsiders as his assistants?."

" WHAT DO YOU MEAN OUTSIDERS? Is there something I don't know about him? "

"Never mind! It's nothing much . Anyways our mission is still on. Progress accordingly."

Riana scoffed," I know."

"Well, do your best then , Ria. Bye!"

...

Riana hung up her phone dejectedly.

Everyone knows Ivan Woods as a Superstar, four times Award winning Best Actor in the Star Galaxy. But what few people knew was that Ivan Woods, code named DEVIL is a ruthless business man, seemingly connected to the underground mafia. He was also the President of Mavericks Entertainment. Riana knew that information from her sources before she applied to the company.

Her joining order in hand, she pressed the button on elevator to the 49th floor to report her duties to Mr. Simon who was the vice president and personal secretary to Ivan Woods.
