Married To My Secretary

Chapter 4

"Well, your mission was to find me a secretary, not a spoonful of sugar, Malcom," he smiles and stands up adjusting his jacket.

"Well, what's done is done. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to see that Andi does things the way I say.

"I remind you, Schmitt, I don't want that kind of behavior in my company." I look into his eyes, with the most serious expression I can have.

"Of course, boss," he makes a military sign with his right hand, saying this, he leaves.

I take out my computer, I need to check my mail.

Someone knocks on the door, "come in," I say, as I start typing my password. The magazine photographer enters through the fine wood beige door.

“Tell me McGarthy. I say, watching him walk through the door, a huge camera hanging from his neck.

“I just want to tell you that the model that had been hired did not show up.

“What? Demons! Please go to Malcom's office and tell him that, he is in charge of those contracts, and please prepare the photo shoot with Jennifer Lopez no later than today. Agree?

“Understood, Mr. Centinelo “Another person knocks on the door “Go ahead “ like I'm well requested today.

Kate comes into the office, brings my cup of coffee, great, I need a lot of coffee this morning.

She puts it on my desk, Kevin says goodbye and walks away.

"I already told Kevin to set up the photo shoot, one less thing you have to do." I tell her, not looking her in the eye. I take a sip of my coffee. It just can't be! I throw the coffee on the floor, now I have stained the perfect carpet that my feet walk on, I curse.

“What the hell is this? I ask, now if I see his face, I can see how his face turns pale and he lowers his eyes. I can't get upset at that face Damn it! Damn Malcom.

“A redheaded girl who was in the cafeteria told me that this was her favorite “Her sweet voice almost shivered, this is another Andi work. That girl isn't fired because Malcom begs me not to.

"Malcom's assistant?" “I let out a sigh “I'll let this go just because you're new, please tell Malcom to come here, I hope you do the rest of your tasks well without being influenced by someone “I say the last thing between pauses, tapping my fingernails gently on my desk while the I look out that door, it's impossible not to see her, those pants fit so well. Why has Malcom done this to me?

Malcom literally runs into my office after a few minutes, I have a lot of work so I don't even look up at him when he walks into my office, plus he's the only one who doesn't knock when he enters.

"Well, what have you done?" he asks as he walks through the door, closing it behind him.

"What has Andi done, you ask?" “I continue typing on my computer “listen, it's not the first time he's done something to one of my secretaries and I'm already getting tired, this is not high school, nor is it a place to play at being that attractive blonde from the movie that They forced us to see those two outfits.

"The one about the girl who moved from Africa?"

"Exactly" I look up to meet his small eyes and he is outlining a smile looking towards a point in my office.

“I still remember those girls, both of them,” he says, turning his gaze to me.

I smile, I remember them too.

"I want you to make a memorandum for Andi that you're going to bring me to sign... myself..." I raise an eyebrow.

"Santiago, I'm sure you must have an explanation." And here we go again...

“No, do things as I tell you, Malcom.

With that said, I leave the office and head towards a meeting with an important partner while leaving Kate's desk with all the things he has to do today.

"These things have to be finished today, understand?" I look into her eyes with a neutral expression, but it's almost impossible for me with those beautiful eyes.

I continue all my tasks for the day, Kate leaves around 7 pm, at least he understands that if things aren't finished he can't leave, he has a quality, you don't have to tell him.

I wake up as usual and go for a run, when I return home the smell of food invades my home, I don't even go to shower and go straight to the kitchen.

"Good morning, Rose." I exclaim, sighing at the smell of bacon that invades my house.

“Good morning, Santiago,” he says, serving me a plate of that delicious food.

"And how about work?"

“Fucking Malcom got me a new secretary and guess what? I take a piece of bread that rests in a small basket on the counter. She looks at me in bewilderment with those huge narrowed hazel eyes.

“She's blonde, tall, thin, she has enormous and beautiful green eyes. I'm sure Malcom is looking for someone to exchange his adventure with at the moment, even if he says no.

She looks at me and smiles.

“What's it called? he asks, as I take my place in the dining room.

“Kate Green”even her name sounds pretty to me.

“Well, I should forbid him from mixing with his secretary, otherwise the same thing will happen again as with those other girls “I've lost more secretaries because of Malcom than because of my character, he ends up asking them all out and then they fight with Andi in the middle office.

I'm going on a trip for a couple of weeks, I love going on a trip because I meet girls from different places and since we're not even friends I don't have any obligation to call them later, most of them go out with other people which makes things easier for me because I don't they will look for me later, although I must admit that they have done it a couple of times, but to tell the truth they do not interest me.

I sleep like a baby on my jet, at about 5 am, shortly before my alarm goes off, my cell phone wakes me up. I look at the device trying to adjust my eyes to the light from the screen and see who the hell is calling me at this hour. It's my father, I frown. Why would my father call me?
