You’ve been the CEO’s secretary, Mr. Perilton, since the day you graduated college. And just a year ago, you met James Anthony Perilton, his son. He assigned you that from then on, you’ll be the one keeping an eye on James which isn’t as pleasing as you expected. You expected him to be mature since he’s three years older than you. But I guess it wasn’t. You find it hard coping with his obnoxious and sassy behavior and attitude. He was never serious. And his attempt to flirt with you is much worse. Despite how many times you scold him, nag him, yell at him, he never seems to be bothered or listening.

Mr. Perilton got invited with one of his business partner’s soiree, that means you and James are included as well. In the party, James was talking to a woman who seems to be his date. And the thought of seeing him flirt with other women other than you somehow irritates you. And you found yourself ignoring him for the rest of the party.

You started walking out to head to the parking lot when James caught out with you. “What?” You asked but he silently bent down and removed your heels and made you wear his instead. He held your heels as he stood up. “What was that about?” He asked then. “The what?” You crossed your arms and didn’t look at him directly. “You avoiding me?” “Then do you find it amusing pretending to actually love me and later on flirt with other woman?” You asked again, clenching your hand. He looked annoyed and massaged the bridge of his nose. “Seriously woman, did I look like I was pretending?” He said and you turned your face at him surprised. “What did you say?” “Nothing.” He said immediately.
