Claire manages a grim smile. God help her . She offered a prayer in her heart . " Are you surprised to see me ?, " Linda cocked a smile. Folding her hands across her chest, she crossed her legs and looked at Claire smugly ." I would go straight to the point ." Claire nodded her head wearily. " You still remembered my brother's debut that would be coming up in two days time? " Claire breathed out with a sigh . Oh , thank God, she whispered in her heart . That was too close .

Chapter 1Chapter one

Claire was still looking through the comments on her phone when she perceived the odor of burnt potatoes in the oven.

"Oh my God "

Quickly dropping the phone on the sofa, she ran to the kitchen and open the oven.

"F*cking hell ". she muttered at the sight of the burnt potatoes.

" where has my brain gone to ". she murmured to herself while taking out some plates to dish out the potatoes.

Of course , she had to eat it that way. that was the price for getting too engrossed with her phone and forgetting that she was preparing food in the kitchen.

After careful selection, she left the kitchen with the food in her hands and sat back on the sofa taking phone. looking through it again, she sneered at the comments people were making concerning the latest movie on Netflix.

"Hump, these people are bunch of idiots "... the ringing of her phone cut short her moment of irritation, recognizing the caller ID, she picked it.

" pumpkin "... a nickname she gave her one and only close friend Carole

" Claire what have you been doing since -did you see the current news? ". she rushed out.

" oh is it about the current movie on Netflix, yeah I saw it. people are sometimes hard to figure, you know, you can't please them. actually -"..

"Not that Claire, not that ". her friend cut in impatiently. she couldn't understand why her friend was so obsessed with movies at this time that she did not notice the latest news on board.

" actually Claire, the big news now is that the CEO's son, the heir of Morgan's beauty world is coming back but I heard its temporary.. maybe a year or two".

"huh " Claire paused. they we're talking about their CEO's son.

" how does it concern me " Claire shrugged. its his right to return to his father's business anytime he wants, its has nothing to do with her.

" haiz Claire,"her friend rolled her eyes. sometimes Claire does act childish.

" I'm actually telling you this for you to be careful at work and not to get on his bad side. you know he's the type that don't care if you die or live ". Carole still press on. she wants her to get the message.

" alright ", Claire said as she bite down on the potatoes, realizing it was burnt she spat it out and cluck her tongue.

" my special advisor, I would listen to you ".

" silly girl ". Carole on the other side of the phone laughed as she finally calmed down knowing her friend had gotten the message.

They went back to discussing about the movie on Netflix and why people where giving comments like that. they were both movie lovers but it was clearly written that Claire would become the one that would be greatly obsessed with movies.

After speaking for about an hour, Claire gathered the crumbs of potatoes into her plate and took them to the kitchen. afterwards she went into her room to prepare her things for work tomorrow. she had rested enough for the weekend, its now time to resume work for this new week.

She actually started working with Morgan's beauty world when she was twenty one, a fresh graduate who studied finance in school. her mom passed away when she was fifteen and she never knew if she had a dad or not because she had never met him and also he was not around when she was born.

So she pretty much lived on her own since her mom passed away. as fate would have it, she escape the hands of a cruel uncle who wanted to take advantage of her while offering his help. luckily she ran away with the already deposited money in her bank and sever all ties with him. that was how she scale through the school and graduate.

And now she has been working with Morgan's beauty world for over four years living off the salary she was getting every month to start life anew.

" Ohh " yawning Claire closed her laptop and checked the time. she need to go to bed right now as she would be jumping out early the next morning to beat the traffic.

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

"Good morning sir "... ' good morning sir "...

greetings filled the air as Ben Morgan ,the owner of Morgan's beauty world passed by.

" Good morning ". he replied cheerfully. he has been like that with his staff even though he was a retired general but today was exceptional because his son would be returning finally to settle down and take over the company.

"Mr Ben,"Claire who spotted him from the doorway ran to his side.

"Mr Ben have a look at this " she handed him a file.

looking through the content, he poked her nose and said " thoughtful as always, don't worry I would go through it ".

Claire smiled cheeky as she left for her office.

After sitting impatiently for some time in his office, Mr Ben helplessly glanced at the wall clock by his left. its been six hours , his son ought to have landed at the airport by now.

It was as if his son heard him, he put a call through to his father announcing his arrival.

quickly jumping off his seat, he took some files with him reaching the front door, he told his secretary to tidy his table he then left with his assistant.

Meanwhile his son Kelvin Morgan had actually arrived thirty minutes before calling his father. he thought it was right if he stayed a little bit and get to know people before leaving.

Spotting his father's car entering the airport from afar, he rushed forward with his bags and waved his hands as a signal.

"Dad ". he cupped his mouth .

Squinting his eyes, Mr Ben saw someone waving his hands frantically.

" That's my son over there ".

Confirming it was his son,the assistant drove towards that direction.

"Dad " Kelvin smiled as soon as his father alight from the car.

" Kelvin my son " Mr Ben hugged him as if it has been ages since he last saw him.

the father and son stayed like that for some minutes before separating as Mr Ben scan his eyes over his son proudly and said

" my son is finally home "

" Dad I'm no longer a kid and you should stop treating me this way in public ". kelvin chuckled.

" haiz, your old man misses you "

Kelvin ran his hands through his hair as he stared at his father. truly it has been a while since he last saw him and he wouldn't deny he did not miss his father too.

boarding the car they left the airport and head home.

" how was your stay over there? "

Turning sideways to his father he answered " it was fine and awesome ".

" how about little sis? " he asked.

" ha ", Mr Ben expressed, " she's fine she would be coming back in a couple of months ".

" hmm ". Kelvin murmured as he closed his eyes and slept off. seeing this Mr Ben gestured to his assistant to drive faster as he looked at his son realizing that he was indeed tired from his journey.

Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.
