The greatest fear for every secretary is to get sacked, especially after working for so many years. Karina got so many points. I sacrificed eight good years of my life working for him. But, what would I had done? Would I had stop the misunderstanding and try to get things straight. I hated myself for looking down on myself. I knew how competent I was, there was no chance that he wanted to lose someone like me. Like he said, I had aot of experience. Regardless of who it was, there would be no other secretary as pretty, competent, hardworking, reliable and accurate as I am. No one could replace me. Not even the most competent individual on earth.

"That is true though. Everything will be fine. " I replied trying to give myself some hope.

"But, why did you say so?" Karina asked looking so confused.

"There is a woman. She's suspicious. I have an hunch that she might be the new secretary when I am gone. " I replied her as I stared at the doll on her desk who looked like a thing that had just found its lost owner.

"Woman? That is great then. There is only two causes related to this case." She said sounding like she was working on a case.

"What are they?"

"First one is just no reason. Your boss might had chosen you to follow the spies for no reason. Or, maybe he felt how competent you are and thought you might be of help. Second, if there is a woman, then maybe he likes the woman. He confessed his love to her and the woman gave him conditions that the only way for her to date him was to sack you. So, he might have decided to use that as an excuse. Nevertheless the point, he might not be seeing any woman neither might he not have any thoughts of sacking you. It might just be a simple idea. " She explained. I listened to her word for word and grabbed all what I wanted to.

"What? Confessed his love to her? I don't think so. " I replied.

"I thought you said there is a woman. So, there is a probability that he likes her. " She said as she raised her eyebrows.

"There is no way Hart will like her. She is not even pretty. " I said in a more annoying manner. I thought since Hart told me that he liked me the other day, he would not like any other lady except from me and wait for my answers. But, what Karina said was quite touching. It might be that case. Hart was not promiscuous. But, I thought that if he turned out to be, I would not be able to date him. There was something I was sure of at that time, the fact that he was hot and I wanted him more.

"If your boss won't like her, then who will he like? Hey, guys are predictable. They do things we know they will end up doing. And again, girls don't see each other that pretty than boys. The way we see other girls is different from the way guys see them. Don't judge people like that. " She said. I guessed what happened to her made her talk some senses.

"What's wrong with you? I thought you liked my boss. Have you gotten over him?" I asked.

"No, but yes. Maybe if I see him again I will have an accurate answer. " She replied.

"Bitch!" I sworn.

"What the heck! Hey, I told you I don't like that word. Stop cursing me." She shouted.

"But sometimes when I suffer a breakup, you call me words like idiot, fool, nitwit and many more. I think this cannot be halfway up to that. " I said as I took my back and left.

"Hey!" She screamed so hard that I heard that at the outside.

At six pm, I got home. My boss didn't call me nor texted me. I was so pissed off. I couldn't imagine he could treat me that way. I arranged my clothes and all what I needed for my first day at Miami book company.

The next day, I went to our company but I could not get to see Hart that day. I knew I would rarely see him but it was really weird for him not to be available at all.

"From now henceforth, you are part of the security team for the Miami book company. " Mike said. I gazed at him with unsatisfying eyes. He looked at me but turned his eyes away immediately. Once again, I dragged him down to a corner.

"I thought you said there should be no members of high positions among them. But, I think the head manager is still much better than you. You are well-known in that company. They all know that you are this company's CEO's secretary. And they will not fail to know. It is better you know that. " He told me.

"I don't know what have gotten over Mr Hart. But, must I really do this?" I asked him even after knowing he wouldn't provide me with the answer I wanted.

"Why are you asking me that? Am I Mr Hart?" He asked.

"I knew it. Wait, is Mr Hart around?"

"I saw him this morning. Why? You haven't?" He asked.

"That's not the reason. Do you have any clue of who is going to be the acting secretary when I'm away?" I asked him.

"I think it will be Mrs Light. After you in this office, it's her. She's also very competent. I think it will be her. " Dave replied.

"Oh! I see. That is great then. " I really hoped that it was Mrs Light. There was no probably any way Hart would fall in love with her. She was married and had given births to five kids. I hoped it would really be her. "Oh! Great God! Let it be her. " I thought.

Few minutes later, I noticed Hart's presence. "Welcome sir. " I greeted.

"Secretary Mesa. It is really a good morning. " He said as he smiled and walked away.
