Chapter 3 Meet

It was a sunny morning, the sun was shining brightly through the sky, Rachel was seen flying up and down her room in preparation of her first day at work, she clearly couldn't contain her happiness, it was obviously like a dream come true, Rachel loved creating perfumes since she was a child it had always been her dream to work at a perfume company, and it turned out that Zech's company specializes in making unique perfumes that helps people and smooths the nerves. Finally, she was done, she grabs her bag and off she goes.

Rachel steps down from the taxi, and was welcomed by an exquisite sight, it was the big magnificent company, with it name boldly written above it, OLIVER'S PERFUME, Rachel stood in a daze, contrary to how it was described to her, it looked more beautiful and dazzling, she was mesmerized by its beauty, enjoying its view as she stood for a couple of minutes.

It was her first time appearing in the company, she couldn't believe that she would actually begin to work in such a place. She had always wanted to work in a place to prove herself worthy through her hard work, she never knew she would be here, one of the biggest perfume companies in the world second to none in the world of business.

Finally she walked into the building, it was looking much more wonderful than the outside, it could be described as the perfect work of art. every inch and corner was clean well fitted, there was definitely nothing out of place expect her the new staff, which clearly people didn't like her, seeing she took a shortcut, she could already feel the cold stares from most of the employee's, but as you know Rachel the cheerful, outgoing girl would never let such spoil her big day, she puts on a smiles on her face, she turns to everyone with a big bright smile.

Rachel was seen in a simple mild blue gown with a slit at the back, sitting well with her body curves, and a matching white bag with her hair packed in a messy bun, she looked like a Disney character with her smooth red lips and her puffy cheeks.

After a few minutes of standing she was totally confused she didn't really know where to find Mr Vincent's office or which floor to head to, she stood there feeling ashamed, after several debating with herself, she finally turned determined and decided to find her way as she was about to head towards the elevator then she bumps into someone.

She falls to the grounds as she slams her butt hard on the marble floor and her bag falls on the ground too. "are you blind?", came the familiar cold husky voice. "this voice is familiar", she whispered to herself, trying to remember where she had heard such a cold distant voice from.

The voice came again much more harsher than before "seems you love sitting on the ground so much", she stood up from the ground with her head facing the ground not daring to look at his face for fear of what she might see, "I'm sorry sir I didn't see you there, I'm new here so I lost my way I'm really sorry", she continues bowing her head to show how deeply sorry she was.

Zech felt relaxed at the smoothing voice, all his anger dissipates in an instant, he couldn't fathom why, he was about to walk away when Rachel grabbed his sleeves.

she grabbed his sleeves, reality dawned on her why did I grab his sleeves, why in the goddess name did I do that, she asked herself in her mind, then she immediately let him go.

Zech turned to her, feeling incredulously, it was actually the first time someone had done something like that to him. He always loves keeping his distance especially from women, he hates people invading his personal space, he couldn't believe it, he wondered what gave her the courage to do that, he slowly turns to face her.

"I... I. I don't mean to, it's just a bad habit of mine whenever I'm feeling nervous.. i'm sorry sir", she bows her head continuously.

"stop!" he said "raise your head so I can see your face", he didn't understand why he wasn't angry, on a normal day someone would have lost a finger, but instead he wanted to see the face of the lady who actually dared to touch him, he waited eagerly as she raised her head slowly.

Rachel gradually raised her head and look straight into his eyes, but she flinched she really didn't know why that happen, but thinking of it now she was left in a daze in his breathtaking beauty, did I finally fall into the world of beautiful men, she said in her mind still a daze, his ever so perfect body, his dark black hair with a tinge of silver , he perfect chiseled jaw and his broods shoulder fitting well with his 7 to 8 feet height, words ain't enough to describe him, his just to prefect.

Zech himself on the Other hand was dumbfounded at the beauty before him, it was though the goddess has descend on earth, she was a beauty unlike any his ever saw, her skin was so radiant and milky, his hands itched to feel them, she was so pure without any taint, he felt the urge to spoil her, she didn't have any perfume on, but she smelled like rose with a mixture of moonflower one of the rarest flower ever known to man, Moon flower was known for it delicate nature, beautiful and alluring smell it was a flower used as aphrodisiac, unlike those who approached him and some smelled like ginger or Gallic, as he likes to describe them. He wanted to have her for himself, he immediately snapped out from his thoughts, then he snapped his finger in front of her face.

Rachel snaps back to reality with her flushed cheeks, "I… um I'm looking for Mr Vincent", that was the only thing she could say, looking at his face her brain had completely gone blank. "Vincent? my secretary"? he asked her.

"what"?, she was looking flabbergasted and confused, at the same time, "you mean you're the guy who treated the lady so awfully in the garage the other night", she blurted out and then she gasps as she immediately covers her mouth with her hands, "oh! no! I have just given myself away, "I'm doomed"

"So…. you're the other person in the garage eavesdropping on my conversation huh*? That night he actually knew there was someone else there in the garage but he was so immersed with anger that he couldn't care about that, he moved slowly towards her and stopped meters away from her.

"no no I.... I didn't mean to, It... I was actually waiting for someone. It was all a coincidence. I really didn't mean to....." she moves back subconsciously.

"but you did, didn't you"? *he interrupted her, he enjoyed teasing her.

"no no I.....", Rachel was interrupted, you could say more like saved by Vincent's voice.

"I see you have already met her", Vincent's voice was heard loudly, as he walks towards them, "miss Rachel it nice to see you today you look stunning".

she smiles nervously, thank you, "you just saved my ass" she said to herself.

Well, starting from today you are Mr Oliver's new assistant. Vin announced.

"what"? Rachel was surprised, "I I thought I was to be working at the perfume inventory, not an assistant, I can't work for whoever the boss is" she said the last part sarcastically.

Zech's grim turned into a chortle, 'I didn't know she was actually the assistant he told me about, well not bad at all, he said to himself', "I'm the BOSS", he announced as he emphasized on the world boss, so proudly like a child boasting about a new toy.

Rachel looked at him from head to toe in a shocked yet surprised way, she prayed the ground would open and swallow her as her brain took her back to when he called Vincent his secretary why didn't I think about that. "you're the boss"? her expression showed him she didn't believe it. but she was actually masking it, she knew she was in trouble.

"don't I look like one to you"? he asked amused by her expression.

"Mr Vincent, is this supposed to be a joke to you, you saw my resume right, you saw what I am capable of, I should be working as a perfume inventor not some assistant to him. She said Sarcastically and annoyed by the situation, not only did she offend the boss on her first day,she also talked back at him, her first Impression that she had practised so hard all went into the drain.

"wow! seems, you're really against it, well miss Rachel from today you are my personal assistant who will work 24/7 for me so pack your luggage and come to my house in 3 days or you could quit before you even get the job, oh and over there is miss Lydia my secretary she will be teaching you all you need to know", he said and strode away towards the elevator smirking, he had won.

"what!? you gotta be kidding me", Rachel couldn't believe her ears, "did he just say that, Mr Vin you have to help me I can't be his personal secretary his too cold hearted for a person like me".

"Well, I'm sorry, Miss Rachel, you have to make do, there's nothing I can do for you now". He walks towards the elevator and heads to Zech's office.

Rachel stood there dumbfounded by what she heard, she couldn't believe her dreams were just scattered in a fleeting moment because of some guy, "no! no!!" she screamed in her head, "I can never accept defeat, I'll make him regret why he appointed me as his secretary". She said and stomps off towards the elevator, she enters the elevator as he keeps muttering to her self, "no! no!!"
