Episode 13
Scarlet’s Pov~
I was sitting outside in the open area at Reney’s, thinking about Alexander. The handsome guy who usually takes up the order, c@m£ by and sat along with me.
“Are you having a rou-gh Day?” He asked me genuinely.
I gave a small nod as a reply without looking up at him.
“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked me and this time I looked up at him like…. seriously?
He held up both his hands in the air and said,
“Oh yes. I know. Why would you talk about it with a stranger? Right….. So let’s pl@ya simple game okay.”
Are you kidding me? I am upset here and he wants to pl@ygames. What is wrong with him? I thought to myself.
“Now it’s game on.
As a stranger I am standing at the start.
Level 1- Introductions ….
Hi, my name is Ray Smith, owner of Reney’s and Reney is my wife’s name.
This place is dedicated to her.
And plea-se may I know your lovely name Miss?”
He is the owner of this place. Damn. I was surprised because I thought he work here as I always see him taking up the orders every time when I come here.
“It’s Scarlet…Scarlet Reeves.” I said while we shook our hands.
“Scarlet, PA of Alexander Pearce, CEO of Pearce Industries. I know that.” He said smilingly
“Right…..” I said and a small smile crept across my face.
“See. Level 1 completed. Now,
Level 2 – Will you be my friend?”
“Yes.” I immediately replied as I found him as a very nice guy.
“Great! Let’s have a friendsh!pcelebr@tion. Game over.
Would you like to have some h0t chocolate?”
“I would love to.” I replied with a smile and he called out to one of the worker named Abby and she brou-ght two cu-p of h0t chocolate for us.
“So are you feeling better now? What happened?”
“Yes and I love h0t chocolate. It’s heaven.” I really felt good being here so I sat there for a while talking with him.
“I’m glad you smiled again. You have a beautiful smile Scarlet. So tell me why you were so upset?” He said while having his cu-p of h0t chocolate.
“I… I saw my boss k!sssomeone today at his cabin. And I… feel hurt. I don’t know why it affected me. He is my Boss…..So why? He can be with anyone and do anything. Why should it affect me?
I am upset with what I am feeling or what I felt that time, as to why I feel like that. I don’t know.” I said while thinking about it.
“Alexander k!$$£d someone? As far as I know he is not d@t!nganyone right now.”
“I don’t care about that. I am confused and unaware of what’s happening with me. That’s the problem.”
“And that’s something called as being jealous.”
“What!!! No…. I am not jealous. Why would you say that?”
‘Well, just tell me this, when you saw them k!ss!ngdid you feel a sting inside you? Bit anger?”
“Yeah…. I think so. So what? I alre-ady told you, I felt hurt.”
“That’s exactly what I said, you are jealous that he k!$$£d her.
But it’s not necessary that what you see is always true.”
“What do you mean?”
“Let me tell you this.
It may happen that you got in at the wrong timing. Maybe it’s the other way around, she must have k!$$£d him and you thought he k!$$£d her.
So you should check with him. In fact he himself would tell you what had actually happened that time.
Because the Alexander I know, never does any sort of things in his office. His cabin is a very sacred place.”
My mind was processing all the things regarding what he has said just now. There is a possibility that she k!$$£d him and I took it in a wrong way. Thinking in that way I am feeling a bit relieved. Then again, why?
Does that mean? Oh no!
“Oh yes Scarlet. You are developing a crush on him. You like him.” He said while laughing, like he re-ad my mind.
“I do not.” I said with objection but my heart is speaking different.
“Hahaha…. It’s okay. I can un-derstand your feelings right now. You are really a beautiful person…..Perfect for him. You will soon get him wh!pped.”
“Umm… Thanks! I guess. But no thank you. I don’t want to.”
“Why so?”
“Because….. He is my boss and there is a big difference between him and me in all ways.”
“Well. Let’s see. Expect the unexpected.” He said and win-ked at me.
I smiled at him.
It was then that I noticed him. He is a charmer too and looks almost similar like Alexander.
Yet he is so very different.
He is tall like a model, have chocolate brown eyes and dark brown hair. He is lean yet has a fit muscular b©dy.
I must say, he is as h0t as Alexander.
I blu-shed at this thought.
But wait. He said he knows Alexander. How?
“Hey, how do you know my boss so well?”
“We both are practically like brothers. We were together since high school. Together in college, did our business together but I left it to run this place.”
“Oh. Wow.
Umm so wher
e is your wife?”
“I lost Reney a year back. It was a car accident.” He said and I could see the sadness in his eyes.
“I… I am so sorry. I didn’t know it.”
“No. It’s okay. I know.” He gave a sad smile.
“You know what? Even I lost my parents in a car accident. Two years ago.”
“Oh. So I guess we both have one thing in common. Lost important people in our lives and we miss them often.”
We both nodded and then smiled together.
“I guess it’s time for me to leave now.
It was nice talking with you.
Ray, thank you.” I said looking at him with a smile and we both stood up.
“We are friends now, you are welcome and if next time if you nee-d anything, approach me anytime. I am always here.” He gave me his charismatic smile.
I waved a bye to him and crossed across the street towards the office building feeling a bit nervous.
Nervous because I have to face my boss now and I’ve got a crush on him.
No, I will ignore all those feelings.
God! I hope I can handle this.
plea-se ….help me.
Alexander’s Pov~
“Scarlet, Cabin….Now.”
I was waiting to talk with her about what happened yesterday. I couldn’t even sleep last night. All I remember was her wi-de-ned eyes and sad face. The way she left my cabin, damn it hurts me to see her like that.
I didn’t do anything wrong and I nee-d to tell her that. She c@m£ in with few files and placed it on my desk. I gestured towards her to take a seat and she did so.
“Sir, do you want me to take notes?”
“No. I mean, yes.”
I was looking at her for a second. She is wearing a simple yet an elegant formal wear.
She is looking beautiful as always.
Then I realized she is waiting for me to say something. I cleared my throat and said,
“I will be attending the charity event which is being organized by Mr. and Mrs. Hope on this coming Saturday so keep that day free.”
“Okay Sir.” She said while noting it down.
“Scarlet…I….” She looked up at me and I continued with what I wanted to tell her.
“About yesterday, it was not I who initiated the…”
“Sir, you don’t have to explain anything to me. It’s your personal life and I am just your PA. We both share only a professional relationsh!p. So it’s fine. I know my boundaries and I don’t want to cross it.
If you don’t mind, do you have anything else regarding work that you want to discuss with me? If not then I am taking my leave.
I don’t mean to be rude. It’s just that I have pending work which is to be completed.”
I was stunned. No other girl has ever talked to me like that. She stood up to leave while I calmed myself and said,
“Yes. I want you to accompany with me for the event.”
“I…I can’t.” She said reluctantly.
I am pissed off now.
“I am not asking you. It’s an order.
You may leave now.”
She nodded and left.
I sighed.
I wanted to tell her that it wasn’t me who initiated the k!ss. It was my ex-girlfriend Cherry.
She c@m£ by to meet me, she have only given me troubles and have hurt me numerous times. We broke up about 6 months ago.
Yet after so long, she is still the same.
Selfish …..bit-ch.
She unexpectedly c@m£ onto me and k!$$£d, while keeping my hands across her w@!st. That’s when Scarlet entered and saw us. And immediately Scarlet left my cabin.
I lashed out on Cherry and threatened her never to see me again. I hate her for ma-king my life a living hell.
But Scarlet, well I don’t know why I wanted to explain to her all this when she just st©pped me from doing so.
What the hell!
What she said is right.
I am her boss.
I am Alexander Pearce.
And yes she is just my PA, and from now on I don’t care what she feels about anything.
God….. This is so frustrating!

Episode 13
Scarlet’s Pov~
“I am re-ady. I will be down in 5 mins.” I replied to Mr. Pearce and he said an okay and disconnected the call.
I quic-kly gr@bb£d my keys, purse and stepped out of the ap@rtment. Taylor was alre-ady at the charity event helping her mom out.
I entered the elevator and s£nt a quic-k text to her stating that I am on my way.
I am wearing a simple short black dress with matching black heels, minimal makeup and I have let down my hair. Hope I look okay.
When I walked towards my building entrance I saw Mr. Pearce standing there in his oh so glorious form, looking extremely h0t in a black suit.
I bet he is going to gr-ab all the attention tonight. He turned towards me and eyed me up and down. Well that made me a bit conscious.
Am I looking bad?
Is something wrong?
“You look beautiful.” He said in a low husky voice. Getting a compliment from him made me blus-h and the way he is looking at me is giving a bu-tterfly effect in the pit of my stomach.
I lowered my gaze and thanked him while he esc-rted me out to his car and we headed for the event.
◎○◎○◎○◎○◎
We reached the event at 7 pm and the valet took his car for parking. When we entered, the press was awaiting for cl!çk!ng pictures of the guests and they were even asking questions as usual.
I was just moving forward as I had to go and meet Taylor to check if she nee-ds my help or not. But Mr. Pearce quic-kly took my hand in his and pu-ll-ed me to his side. We took steps together and then the press guys requested for a picture of us.
He approved to take our picture together and patiently looked at the c@m£ra.
I was, well, what I can do. Follow the actions of your boss is what I did but facing c@m£ras made me feel conscious.
I took a breath and calmed myself as I don’t want to get affected by him. So I posed with him with a smile on my face and just when the c@m£ra focused on us.
He slid his hand across my w@!st and kept me closer to him. I was too close for my comfort and I felt a jo-lt of spark within me. My smile vanished and instead my eyes were a bit wi-de and confused and for a second I took a glance at him.
There were flashes, people asking questions but I was completely in a different zone. I didn’t hear anything neither knew what happened right now.
We then together moved towards the area where all the guests were gathered. I somehow was calming my heart beat and telling myself to be professional.
The event is held in an open garden area with beautiful decorations. A small stage was set up in the middle, the whole place was lit with lanterns as well as fairy lights and a soft melodic music was pla-ying in the background.
All the women dressed up elegantly in evening go-wns while all men were in black tux or suits.
The crowed ahead was immensely happy to see Mr. Pearce being pres£nt for the event.
He is gr-abbing a lot of attention from everyone. But it’s not him alone gr-abbing the attention; we both together are which is actually ma-king me more conscious again about myself.
Everyone greeted him, made small talks and even took pictures. Well, the young ladies were literally swooning all over him. I couldn’t hide how jealous I was.
Wait. I don’t want to be jealous. But then I realized, he still has his hand kept across my w@!st. I want to get away from him.
“Scarlet….Sweetheart you look beautiful.”
I turned towards my left, its Taylor’s parents, Mrs. Tessa Hope and Mr. br@d Hope. Tessa immediately pu-ll-ed me for a hvg and k!$$£d my forehead. br@d gave me a hvg too.
Tessa Hope is a very kind lady with a golden heart. She likes to p@rticipate and involve in charity works and social causes.
She is tall, have short blond hair and pretty blue eyes. Actually she is an older version of Taylor. She is a very beautiful, strong and intelligent woman.
br@d is a very respectful businessman in the society as well as a family man who supports his wife in all ways. He is tall with golden brown hair and is a very handsome dad.
They both have supported me a lot and love me like a daughter. I love them too and very much grateful to them for everything they’ve done for me till today.
They noticed the person standing next to me and greeted Alexander with a hvg.
“Alexander, thanks for coming today. We were waiting for you to start with the main event. Where are Archie and Annie? “br@d asked with a smile and they both shook hands.
“They couldn’t make it. Dad said he will meet you soon to plan for a trip together.” Alexander replied to br@d and then they got busy in their conversation.
They seem to know each other very well…I didn’t know they were friends. Finally I was free from Mr. Pearce, as he was taken away by br@d.
I asked Tessa where can I find my bestie and she said at the back of the stage. So I decided to head over there and found her helping around the people for the event.
Taylor and I, we both were wearing short length dresses which were given by Tessa and complimented each other for our looks. We headed out as the event was about to start.
br@d and Tessa were now on the small stage acknowledging the crowd..
“Good evening everyone. Firstly, a hvge thanks to all of you, who have gathered here today for the charity event organized by us. Now my wife will say a few words on today’s event.” br@d said with a smile and turned towards Tessa.
“Thank you everyone for gathering here. As you all know Hope Enterprises today is organizing this event to make funds for poor children’s education and other necessities. It’s an orphanage called “Precious Hearts” to whom we will be giving the funds.
The head of the orphanage is a nun, Sister Mercy and she is pres£nt here right now among us. plea-se give her a round of applause. I request you all to donate the money generously.
Our first event is a cultural program pres£nted by the Precious Heart’s little kids.”
The little kids, around 6 of them were on the stage and dancing on a song. All of them are 6 year old and are adorable in their cute pinky frilly frocks.
The place was full of activities. As entertainment, children performed on stage while at the right side of the stage; there was one stall where paintings are being kept which is for art lovers who bought those paintings drawn by the children.
On the other stall there were handmade items for sale like, wall hangings, show pieces, br@celets, chains, earrings etc.
So various such stalls were there which was meant for raising funds.
A special stall was made in which clothes designed by these talented 19 year olds were showcased, which caught a lot of attention and appreciation for them.
Food counter was on the left side of the stage.
Our last event was a simple dress up show with a twist.
Models will be wearing beautiful go-wns and dresses which the men can bid for and have the model as their d@t£ for the rest of the evening, Vice versa.
“Taylor!” Tessa was stressed.
“Mom what happened?” Taylor asked with concern.
“Baby, I nee-d your help, actually both of yours.
Two models ditched this event due to some reason. I want you girls to dress up in their place and showcase it onstage.”
“What? But Tessa it also means that we will have to be someone’s d@t£ as well.” I said with wi-de eyes.
“We will be re-ady.” Taylor said to her mom, she gr@bb£d my hand and dashed us towards the changing room backside of the stage.
“Taylor. What the hell! You know I can’t…”
“You can. Trust me.” She said reas-suringly.
We both got dressed up and the makeup artists made us look gorgeous. I wore a beautiful floor length dress with sweetheart n£¢k while Taylor looked stunning in an off shoulder red satin go-wn.
I could hear the cheer of the crowd outside. The bid on other models had started and young CEO’s were getting interested in this.
I was nervous as hell. Taylor went ahead confidently and walked in a straight line and stood with a pose.
Immediately bidding started on her dress and I guess several of them wanted her to be their d@t£ because the figures were going up. Finally one of them had it and gr@bb£d an opportunity with her as his d@t£.
Wow.
I am next and I don’t have any idea what to do? Will anyone want to have me as their d@t£? I doubt it.
With these thought I entered the stage. There were a lot of g@sps and it made me nervous.
Several people called out the bid but one person made a higher bid; he was quite good looking in a greyish suit.
Then another person called out a higher amount. Being on stage I was getting a good view of all the people.
My eyes were searching for him among the crowd and I found the known pair of green eyes staring at me intently, I broke the eye contact with him. Suddenly he stood up and left. Damn him.
Why did he leave?
Suddenly I heard the grey suit guy call out that he is going to win. He gave a smile and win-ked at me but right when the bidder was about to confirm it by calling it three times.
A new person emerged out from the crowed and offered a much higher amount.
People around started murmuring and none of them raised a voice to bid higher than the current figure not even the grey suit guy.
The new bidder looked immensely happy and he confirmed the amount and so he won a d@t£ with me.
$h!t. I will have to be his d@t£. Great!
He c@m£ forward and took me along with him outside the garden. A car was waiting for us and he led me inside but he didn’t get in, instead the car driver greeted me and said he will take me to a place which is being instructed to him and the car took off away from the event.
I was confused, nervous and a bit curious. I wanted to know what’s going on.
