Just sweetener

Leonardo's POV

I just finished a meeting with one of my clients. now I just have to wait for Zoe who promised to come at 11.00, but for some reason she hasn't come yet. I felt very bored and suddenly thought of Georgina, who was doing her internship here for the first time. I can't stop smiling every time I remember her sour face which makes her look cute.

'I guess I've become addicted to making her angry all the time.. besides I'm not sure that her boyfriend is loyal... poor girl,' I thought, then unbuttoned my suit because I felt so hot.

I got up from my oversized chair which is silver in color, in harmony with the rest of the room which is dominated by metallic and white colors. I walked out of the room and saw my secretary teaching Georgina who was sitting in a chair complete with a table that had been specially prepared for her.

"Did she trouble you, Renata?" I asked while approaching them.

"No sir," Renata replied smiling kindly at me. She stood while Georgina sat looking at her laptop but I could see that she was glancing at me.

"I think she can replace me in the next few days," said Renata again.

"Why?" I frowned.

."I want to go to Ohio to attend my brother's wedding," explained Renata, who always looked formal in a bluish-gray women's suit. "I'll be leaving the day after tomorrow, then coming back on Sunday," she continued.

I was silent, feeling doubtful but Renata has the right to leave. I turned to glance at Georgina who stood up.

"I can be relied on as a backup secretary," she said with a deadpan look, looking like she was trying to act professionally. Okay, but seeing her face like that, makes me feel amused.

"Okay... from Wednesday to Friday you are the secretary," I said with a faint smile, then crossed my arms. "You have to be friendly to everyone here, the guest... smile... don't be flat like that," I said again.

"Um… sorry…" she turned her head away.

"Can you smile now?"

"I... I'm not in the mood."

"Renata, explain to her how you can get a secretary position with a fantastic salary," I said, glancing at Renata.

Renata nodded, then glanced at Georgina. "You have to be smart, friendly, creative, honest, polite, and friendly to everyone here, regardless of whether you're in the mood or not. You can't mix your mood with the atmosphere here... you have to be as professional as possible, especially since you're still new here... you must show a good attitude so that the employees here like your presence," she explained.

"Also friendly to the CEO," I added, but Georgina just stared at me in horror. 'Haha... she looks like she has a grudge against me,' I thought.

"Georgina..." Renata calling.

Georgina immediately nodded and then sighed, smiling forcedly. "I'll do it... it's not a problem for me to be friendly..."

"That's good ..." Renata smiled. "Then you continue studying the duties you must perform in my stead."

"Okay ... I will study it." Georgina sat back down.

"You have to stand up when your boss is in front of you," I said.

Georgina exhaled roughly, then stood up again. "sorry ... I'm not used to it."

"That's part of the norm of decency," I said casually, smiling at her who looked uncomfortable. .maybe she wanted to scream at me, but now I'm in power.

"Honey..."

The soft voice caught my attention. I immediately turned to the right and saw Zoe coming towards me with a smile so sweet. yes, my girlfriend is very sweet, that's why I love her.

"I thought you canceled coming," I said as I greeted her, and immediately kissed her lips in an instant.

"Sorry...I have to stop by the accessories store... to buy something," she said with a sad look, but suddenly her gaze shifted to Georgina and Renata. "Georgina, is that you?" he asked as he approached them, his gaze focused on Georgina who smiled awkwardly at her...

"Hi..." Georgina greeted.

"I didn't think you were here..." Zoe immediately embraced Georgina, making me curious and didn't even think that they knew each other and maybe even close to each other until they hugged. "It's been a long time since we met….I think we last met when your sister got married.." she let go of the hug.

Me and Renata are just silent watching their interactions.

Georgina just smiled as if she didn't know what to say to Zoe.

"I think it's been 4 years since we haven't seen each other. how is your sister? does she have kids?" Zoe asked.

"Um, yes, she has a baby girl and is currently living in New York" Georgina replied, as if letting me know that she has an older sister and it turns out that her sister is a friend of Zoe's. but this is not important to me, and I don't like to see them interact.

"Honey..." I immediately embraced Zoe's waist from the side. "Let's go to my room now... we have a lot of things to do."

"Um, well..." Zoe smiled at me, then looked at Georgina again. "Georgina, I'm glad we got to meet again. I hope we can have coffee together when we have time."

Georgina just nodded then I immediately invited Zoe to enter my room. I turned to hold her hand, occasionally smiling at her and she smiled at me.

.'Maybe Georgina is jealous of our intimacy because she can't be intimate with her boyfriend,' I thought, suddenly thinking of Georgina who might just be being fooled by her boyfriend.

"That's very sad," I said spontaneously.

"What?" Zoe asked.

"Eh..." I smiled slightly. ."It's nothing... I just know something and it doesn't matter to you."

I closed the door again, then Zoe walked first to the sofa.

"Neither important nor important, I have the right to know," she said.

"Well..." I sighed as I walked towards the couch. "I just didn't expect you and Georgina to know each other...and I know a little bit about her...about her relationship with her boyfriend. It seems like her boyfriend is just making a fool of her so I said it was really sad."

Zoe greeted me with a frown. ."How did you know about he relationship with her boyfriend? Are you close enough?"

"Um.." I was suddenly confused while sitting beside him. Should I tell her Georgina lives in my family's mansion even though we will be together in 10 to 12 weeks? I was worried that she would get jealous, then get mad and not want to see me for a week. it's her habit when angry, and I hate that.

"Leo..." she called out to me.

"I know because... because I overheard her conversation with Renata," I said nodding my head when an idea came to my mind. "So I'm assuming that her boyfriend isn't serious with him. But that's none of our business so you don't have to worry" I said again.

"Then That's bad...." Zoe suddenly looked worried. "to me she's like my little sister because I used to be friends with her sister and she often joins us... it's so unbearable for me to let her be in an unhealthy relationship..."

."Honey..." I embraced Zoe from the side, resting my chin on her shoulder, looking at her beautiful and smooth face and her body was very fragrant. ."Don't talk about other people's relationships when we have to focus on our own ... you should know I'm very ready if we move to a more serious level."

Zoe glanced at me, now She looks uncomfortable.

"I am not ready ... .You know I still have a lot of things I want... and I have to do it without you," she said.

"I know... sorry..." I immediately lifted my head from her shoulder. 'I'm not going to say it again,' I thought disappointed, I always feel hurt when she says that she is not ready to go to a more serious level with me. whatever the reason, I always feel that her love for me is not that deep, but I try to deny it because I don't want to be angry and then she will leave me. I love her so much...
