6 Date

The next day, Olivia woke up nice and early, she took a shower and dressed up before going down to join Grace for breakfast. When she got downstairs, Grace was already eating her breakfast and was prepared for work. She was reading the morning papers while sipping water from a glass, she looked up when she sensed someone approaching "hey Olivia, you are really dressed this morning" she measured her from her head to the male shirt and pants she was putting on down to her shoes "and like a man. Where to?"

Olivia rolled her eyes before pulling out a seat and sitting down, she grabbed a plate of waffles before glancing at her aunt "don't tell me you are that forgetful aunt Grace. I told you last night I will be joining you to the office today to get an office and again, Kane is taking me sightseeing."

"Oh, that's true. I actually forgot" she dropped the papers and continued with her food "you are in luck though. My managing Director called in sick this morning, perhaps you can stay as a substitute for him till he returns, how about that?"

"Me, a managing director? That's awesome!"

"Of course, at least if you tell Kane your position in the office, he will see you as the...well, the man you are" she rolled her eyes while Olivia chuckled "really, I can't believe you are taking this, this far. If you start work like this then all my employees will believe you to be a man. One little lie escalading."

"Don't worry aunt, believe me, you will really not have the need to explain things to anyone."

"Meaning you are going to be Oliver for the rest of your life?" Grace asked with a raised eyebrow and a bit alarmed.

"I can't tell yet. Maybe I will drop this act in the near future but it certainly aren't anytime soon" she smiled.

Grace shook her head unbelievably, "eat up. We don't want to be late, you will need to settle in before your date with Kane."

"For the last time aunt, it's not a date."

"Whatever" Grace waved her off before continuing with her food.

They arrived at the company and Grace showed her to her office, "this is the managing director's office. This is Devon Nelson, your secretary" she pointed at a red hue haired girl, "why don't you call out everyone Devon, I have an announcement to make."

The girl called Devon glanced at Olivia with infatuated eyes before leaving the office. Damn, her work just got interesting, a lot of her friends are the secretaries of handsome young bosses and she had to be the secretary of an old man and now, a new boss just arrived in town and she is his secretary, this is amazing.

Olivia will be a fool if she says she didn't notice the way Devon looked at her or him, she smiled. It's good to know she has her brother's charm on women. If not, how will she be able to pull this off? "So I will be staying here now?"

"Yes, till Douglas return. By then, I will have someplace permanent for you. Come on, let's go tell everyone who you are and stop the gossipy stares they have been directing at you since we came in."

Olivia chuckled "sure aunt." They both left the office to the lobby where everyone gathered.

"Everyone, this is Oliver, my nephew. Douglas, the managing director called in sick this morning and lucky enough, Oliver is around, so he will be standing in for Douglas till he returns and by then, we will have a permanent post for him but for now, he is the managing director. So you all should welcome him and make him at home" Grace announced.

Everyone welcomed Olivia and some shook hands with her while some girls were already infatuated with her handsome face. She bonded with people a lot because of her sweet mouth and it wasn't long, she had made friends. She returned to her office to get her first job down. It was a good thing she studied business management in school and so it wasn't hard for her to adapt in her new work.

Devon knocked on her door after two hours of being busy at work and she let her in, "sorry sir, I wanted to ask if you want coffee?"

"Sure, get me extra large" Olivia beamed and Devon melted.

"Okay sir" she turned around to hide her blush which Olivia detected and smiled.

"Em Dev, thanks. You don't mind me calling you that do you?" She winked.

"Call me anything you want sir. I'm at your service" Devon smiled before leaving the office and something tells Olivia that her services doesn't mean only at work.

The day has gone half but she has received no calls from Kane and even though she didn't want to admit it, she was a little disappointed. She had actually been looking forward to looking at his face again. Those cold but beautiful hazel eyes and dark slicked back hair that she really want to feel it's softness on her fingers. Stop Olivia, she cautioned herself. She picked up her phone to call him but can't, it will be wrong if she call him first, she thought.

But it won't be if she is a man right? She asked herself and immediately dialed his number. The call was picked at second ring and his deep magnetic voice was heard, "hello?" Olivia took her time to digest his voice before clearing her throat to switch in her male's voice, "someone forgot a promise you know and I hate whenever I'm forgotten."

"Oliver" Kane called, "listen I'm sorry but I'm kind of busy. And important personnel who was supposed to visit next week somehow arrived today and I can't leave him hanging. How about we postpone our tour to another day but don't worry, I will still pick you tonight so we can grab a drink or two?"

Olivia was silent, she can't understand this feeling she felt inside, something like dejection? But why? "Sure, cool but I'm still not happy. If I hadn't phoned you, you wouldn't have called to tell me."

"Dude I'm sorry. I got carried away. Let me make it up to you tonight okay? We can grab dinner and I will take you to a nice club, it's part of the touring after all."

"Your treat."

Kane laughed, "sure, my treat and a fine wine to go with it."

"Okay then, looking forward to it."

"Alright then. See you tonight" he hung up.

Olivia stared at her phone and smiled, she put it down to continue with her work.

The day flew by in the blink of an eye and it was closing hours. There was a knock on the door and she called out to the person to enter. Devon stepped inside the office then, "sir, I was wondering if there is any last thing you will want me to do for you?"

Olivia smiled, "no Dev I'm good, you can leave if you are done with your work. I'm going to look for my aunt."

"Okay sir, goodnight."

"See you tomorrow Dev, take good care of yourself."

"Thank you sir" with that, she left the office while Olivia arranged her desk before leaving the office to her aunt's own.

She knocked and entered when she heard her aunt's voice telling her to enter, "hey aunt."

"I didn't see you leave in the afternoon. I thought you had a date with Kane?"

"Aunt, if someone hear you, they will think I'm gay as well as Kane. Wouldn't that be such a big news?" She sat down opposite her aunt with a smirk.

Grace rolled her eyes, "fine, I thought you would be meeting up with Kane today for your touring?"

"Yep" she picked up a magazine from the desk and flipped through it "but an important personnel showed up and he couldn't leave him alone so we rescheduled."

"To when?"

"Don't know don't care" she dropped the magazine back on the desk "actually we will be meeting tonight though. He asked to take me to dinner to make up to me and then we can grab a drink or two."

"Even though you are dressed like a man and you act like a man, may I remind you that you are not a man and shouldn't drink too much? Mind the way you drink when you go out with him tonight."

"Aunt" Olivia rolled her eyes "you might not know but Oliver use to challenge me to a beer tong and I use to beat him most a times. I'm good."

"Just be careful."

"Sure. You done, can we go now?"

"Yes, let me just put my signatures in this document."

"Sure" she picked up the magazine once more and began flipping through it again.
