Pauline had been hanging around the Fisher Corp for a while now. She knew Diana will be resuming work today. She just had a feeling that something was not adding up and she got her confirmation when she asked a few staffs if they knew any Diana Garcia, Clark's secretary and they all claimed they didn't know her. She hanged out for a bit until a car passed her. 

She saw Clark on the driver sit and a man at the backseat. She couldn't see the man's face clearly as the car passed her within seconds. 

She followed the car for a while until she just couldn't find them again. It was like the car vanished into thin air.

She did a lap around the area but she didn't know which turn or direction they took.

Frustrated she went for a coffee to calm her down only to see who she has been looking for, Clark.

...

" He doesn't have the tattoo " Pauline murmured to her self but not too low that Clark heard what she said.

" What tattoo ?" Clark asked clearly confused.

"Nothing" Pauline said as she chuckled nervously.

"By any chance could I get your phone number " Pauline said, she saw Clark raise his eyebrows so she added;

" Just to check up on your hand and settle hospital costs if there's need for any"

" No need miss, I'll just get some ointment for it " Clark said as he smiled revealing his pearl white teeth.

Pauline was lost for a moment. She looked at his features and she had to say he was a looker. Oval face, deep eyes, thin pink lips, well structured nose, his skin was free of blemishes. Every thing was perfect. 

The more Pauline kept looking the more she was mesmerized by this handsome man.

"Are you okay miss?"Clark asked at the lady in front of his seemed to be lost.

"I'm okay" Pauline said. " It's okay if you don't want to give your number. Here's mine you can call "

Clark took the card from her and smiled before entering the cafè to re-order. 

"What are you doing Pauline?" Pauline said to herself while bending down and pulling on her hair. She got up and went to where her car was parked.

She sat on the driver's seat and put on her seat belt. She held the steering wheel and laid her head on it and silent sobs from no where came out.

"You're so pathetic!" Pauline said to her self as she sobbed. "This is the last time I'm doing this ". She resolved never to sneak on Diana as she drove to her work place. 

...

"What plan?" Skylar asked the men in front of him . 

The two men tried to come up with something, but with Skylar's stern gaze on them they started to sweat buckets.

"We were just talking about the company and how you've decided to start working in the office. " Mr Simon said.

"It's so hot in here" Mr Kurt said trying to shift the topic.

Skylar looked at air conditioner which was blasting cold air but didn't say anything. If they thought he was a fool to believe their nonsense then they were wrong. The whole vipers confraternity were wrong to think they could play him. He could see through all of them.

"So why did you call for the meeting. If it's about my decision to lead the company then there is nothing you can do about it" Skylar said as he took a seat. "I'm just taking back what's mine in the first place. I left my seat empty for too long."

"We understand, but we are here to talk about giving us more rights to the company. We want to own rights to the company accounts, to see how money is being spent." Mr Kurt said to which Mr Simon nodded to.

'These greedy fool' Skylar thought. They want to be able to siphon more funds without him knowing. 

"Where is Mr Desmond?" Skylar asked seeing as one person was missing from the vipers click. The three of them moved together, always.

The duo didn't know what to say. How will they say that Mr Desmond was not interested in the plan to embezzle funds. Apart from the fact that he respected Skylar a lot, Mr Desmond was very afraid of Skylar even though he has the head of the confraternity shielding him, he knows what Skylar was capable of and only a fool will want to cross paths with him, Wrong paths.

"He's sick" Mr Simon lied. "Just give the two of us access, Mr Desmond won't be in on this one" 

"Any other thing?" Skylar asked.

"No" the duo chorused

"I'll ask Clark to process everything." This got the two men smiling like fools. 

'They are so easy to trick' Skylar thought 

...

Diana has been on one row of paper work since. She thought it'll be like doing Mr Klaus school paperwork but she forgot those included marking students assignments and some other school related stuff.

The paper work Skylar gave her to do was quite simple, it just included sorting out employees salary and bonus for the month by department, at least that's what the first two rows demanded, but she was still stuck on the first row. She took a nap between those two hours she's been working though. 

"First row done" Diana sighed as she placed it on a section of her desk space on the floor so it won't get mixed up.

She picked up the first work from the second row and started from where she stopped. It was easier after she had done the first one. 

 Her neck and back hurt so much from bending to see the department of the staff clearly so that she won't get things mixed up. She wanted Skylar to think that her style of working was perfect.

'Let me just nap for few minutes' Diana thought as she yawned and massaged her neck.

Skylar walked into the office to see Diana sleeping with a light snore echoing in the office. 

He saw a neatly pile of paper work at one side of her desk and a half finished pile of paperwork.

Skylar wasn't expecting this. He thought she'll still be in one pile by now but she was almost done with the second one.

That's not the amount an efficient secretary would have finished by now but this was Diana and she did great, It pained him to admit.

He walked to his desk and opened his laptop to finalize some documents. He didn't wake her up. Some how her light snore was calming his heart and Skylar was basking in this calmness.

Diana opened her eyes to see Skylar on his laptop, this side of him looked damn sexy with his eyes staring intently on the screen of his laptop.

She checked the time with her head still on her desk.

"What the!"

Diana screamed as she bounced upright almost like a spring was attached to her butt.

"How long have I slept?" Diana muttered to her self
