1 THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRETARY

In the Role of Billionaire's Secretary

The future chapters have yet to receive their own round of editing.

Damien has a keen intuition and wants to find someone with whom he can have deep bonds of friendship and mutual support. Her entire life has been spent being teased and mocked because of her name. But now she can take no more of the hostility and scorn of others; she has hit her breaking point.

The person in issue comes from a less-than-ideal family background, but she says she wants to start a family of her own now. No one has any interest in her. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with her that would explain this; rather, the combination of her stunning good looks and privileged background makes her a highly improbable single. At the young age of twenty-five, she has decided to enter into a contractual marriage. There is, however, the unanswered question of whom she will choose for this function. She has numerous suitors who are eager to marry her, but she is looking for someone who would provide her with genuine emotional attachment as well. It's considered unreasonable to want to find someone who will adore you for who you really are. Her search for a man with similar attributes may be complicated by Christian, her helpful assistant. There is an abundance of irony in this circumstance.

As soon as Damien walks into the office, she calls for her secretary for help keeping track of all the newlyweds. Although there are many qualified male candidates, the winner of the tournament is still anyone's guess.

Christian, how do you evaluate these specific items? Damien calls his office to ask.

For for than eight years, Christian has been her secretary. Given the time frame, it's safe to assume that Damien has been running her business since she was a teenager. He is both a trusted confidant and an indispensable helper in her life. Christian, at age 26, has concluded that his chances of finding a female spouse are slim. This realisation has led him to shift his attention towards finding a suitable male companion. He says he hopes he doesn't start feeling romantically interested in her over time.

The exam is like a love letter, Damien. Each contestant must write a letter of love addressed to you personally, and the top four will move on to the quarterfinals. The applicant with the lowest-quality love letter but the highest professional aptitude will be hired. Christian shares his thoughts, and Damien nods in agreement.

It's an unusual approach, but the goal is to find an employee who won't get in any sort of sexual or intimate relationship with their boss.

How many letters do you think it will take you to read them all? When Damien asks him a question, he laughs dismissively in response.

Please allow me to pose a question about myself. You, my most trusted friend and confidant, shall be charged with reading all of the communications. There are currently 12 letters for you to read. I hope everything works out for you. I had to get out of here. Christian leaves his job for a month and says goodbye to his boss. Instead of acting as a secretary, his job description calls for him to act more like a trusted friend. His primary function as her closest friend is to make her life difficult.

She has only one month to handle this responsibility on her alone, without her secretary's help. Can she actually pull this off?

Christian is leaving, and Damien throws a shoe at his head, eliciting a chuckle from Christian.

Damien shows some discomfort in the act of opening correspondence, but she knows she must.

Greetings, Oluwakemi.

My initial thought was to write "Dear Damien," but I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the name's implied sexism. As a result, I have gone ahead and used your birth name as the salutation for this letter. Kemi, I'm well aware that you're based in the UK at the present time. But why don't you go by your actual African name? I'm just interested. The aforementioned thing is of higher quality than Damien, making you feel like you're having a chat with a beautiful person like yourself. I have a few minor issues with how you've been behaving.

Please tell me your full name if you don't mind me asking.

The father's lack of judgement is on full display in his choice to give his son, a teenager with significant mental disabilities, responsibility for the family business.

The realisation that this message has maintained its recipient's interest.

So long, Kemi.

Antagonism and affection.

Damien reads over the preliminary correspondence without showing any signs of irritation. The person reacts with a jovial laugh, satisfied that they have been heard. They now expect a simple denial. It's possible that she'll never get married if the remaining people are just like her. Like the friendship between our protagonist and her best friend, it is possible for them to fulfil their long-standing promise. Instead of looking through the letters, she decides to spend several hours reading a book written by Miss Mandy.

A snippet of text taken from the book.

Do you happen to be joking? The worry in Jaden's voice was palpable as he asked.

Do I look like I'm doing it? Alexa's response lacked any hint of regret as she stated that our union was not meant, making the current outcome inevitable. The person's manifestations of emotion were as cold and distant as the ice they were dressed in, and their behaviour, which was already distressing, became even more so when they were directed at Jaden.

He was unable to fathom her motivations since he saw no clear point or justification in what she was doing. What were the considerations that led her to this conclusion? Jaden's thoughts were flooded with questions, and the emotional agony he felt sparked the beginning of a slow, steady buildup of animosity. Because of their innate generosity, the person in issue did not deserve to be treated the way they were.

Scepticism is warranted, Alexa. If you don't have the background information, the statement you're discussing won't make sense. It's not like people just wake up and make choices like this. Is there evidence to back up the claims we've made to one another? Is there evidence that any of the aforementioned things mattered or had an effect? If such memories were taken into account, you probably wouldn't stand in front of me with such ice in your eyes as you make this claim. When someone says, "You are mine!" they are claiming you as their own. Jaden implied the following in his statement: He raised his voice to a higher tone, took a stance with his fists clenched, and stared intently at Alexa. There was an audible increase in his breathing, and he began to tremble slightly.

There was no attempt at flight or avoidance on Jaden's part. The person was unhappy with Alexa's actions and stated their desire to face the problem head-on. They reasoned that if they reminded Alexa of how important she was to them, she would respond positively. They hoped that being vulnerable would eventually pay off for them. Even if he had tried to protect himself in advance, he would have been doomed to fail. Were words to be considered weapons, then the ones he was about to hear would have been extremely dangerous. While reading, the reader wished they could step into the shoes of the book's main character. Their best efforts are being made to prevent them from reading any of the letters. Unfortunately, she must unseal one letter due to events beyond her control. The second letter she opens prompts an immediate pang of guilt.
