Chapter 2
Amy raised her chin, almost immediately she heard him. Did he say he’ll find her a job…
What could she do?. She was as lazy and fragile as a breakable chewing stick.
” A job?” She asked him, her eyes very wide.
” Mn. You’ll work for me as long as sixty days, that’s enough to pay your debt.” He bluntly said, staring at his finger tips.
Amy looked away from his eyes while filling her lower li-p inside her mouth.
What could she say to this man?. She was scared of saying no.
She really loved her job as a delivery girl and she never had plans to leave it.
But at the same time, she wanted to clear her debt after the sixty days and finally be free.
She looked up at him again, to avoid keeping him waiting in silence.
” What kind of job is it, sir?” She asked, stressing her forehead with lines.
She looked really determined to know what type of job she would be doing before stupidly diving into her new ‘supposed’ job.
Xan grinned halfway, stretching his arm to place it on her head.
” Not so fast, little fella. You’ll still nee-d to pas-s my professional interview test first”
Professional Interview?. Amy didn’t know why but her heart skipped at that moment.
If it regarded books or math, she knew she would definitely and handsomely fail.
She raised her shoulder, suc-king in all the air in the world before dropping them back down.
” That wouldn’t be a problem, sir. When is the interview for my job coming up?” She boldly stepped up to ask.
” Meet me here at this same sp-ot tomorrow morning at 9. The rest will be handled” He said and turned his backs at her.
She stared at his large broad backs as he skeptically made his way to his car.
Oh!. She just remembered. She would nee-d his contact to be able to reach him as well.
” Sir!!. Um..sir!” Amy yelled, stumping right behind him.
He halted to a stop, making amy stop at her heels before she could crash into him.
” Sir…” she trailed.
His face scowled up. He didn’t like when she regarded him by that word.
” What else do you nee-d, miss?” He muttered, his voice going de-eper than before.
Amy shuddered with fear again, thinking she had annoyed him.
” Um..c..can i have your contact please?” She meekly asked, stupidly standing behind his back.
He didn’t bothered turning around. He stretched out a card and raised it above his head and twirled it across his shoulder.
” Here. That contains everything about me”
She had to raise her sneakers to the tip before she could reach out to the card.
She pinned her feet back to the floor and stared at his personal card with a wide cheerful smile.
” Thank you very much, sir.” She said.
Xan opened the pas-sengers door and got into the car quickly.
Sean, his driver, also tripped into the car along with him and in some matter of minute the car began to accelerate away.
” Bye sir!!” Amy waved, seeing his reflection smooth away from her gaze.
The other driver quickly turned around and held amy in a ti-ght hu-g.
She almost choked,,
” I’m so speechless right now. I have not seen someone with such a caring heart.Thank you so much. I’ll be forever grateful!” He rumbled on her shoulders.
Amy formed a ti-ght smile and quickly sque-ezed herself out from his strong grip.
” Geez..” She finally was able to breath.
” Oh dear..dear.. I’m glad we are both on the safe sides now. I just hope i don’t fumble and become a clumsy girl soon!” She tried to laugh.
She hu-gged him again, just like how a good daughter would do before saying a goodbye.
And finally, they retreated back towards the car and sped off towards the resturant.
=★====☆==
SPICY RESTURANT ?
Amy slowly opened up the door and peeked her head in to see no one down the lighted narrowed corridor.
She heaved one heavy sigh and ran in, closing back the door before resting on it tiredly.
She tou-ched her hot forehead. Her head had been badly hurting after standing un-der the sun for too long.
She had took the back door from behind the waste room to avoid being caught by her boss entering late.
She raised her arm and checked her wristwatch.
” God. 12 noon. I’m so done with!” she sheepishly uttered, pouting her li-p sadly.
She was fully prepared for what was coming her way.
She leaned away from the door and held her big bag, lazily walking down the corridor towards the delivery room.
She stretched her arm to pull the door but stopped midway.
Her heart that was racing normally began to pound inside her che-st.
Well, she stayed positive while pulling the door open, anyways.
As soon as the door bell rang, the busy workers in all groups turned their heads to stare at her.
All of them with the same mimcry face expression.
They were now fond of seeing the little amy arrive late and being the topic of the day by their boss.
Fortunately, boss was unavailable today. It was Amy’s turn to laugh at them.
She pressed her li-ps ti-ght and quickly hopped on her toes towards her bench.
She fell her bag on the table and dropped her head on it sighing ha-rdly.
Someone poked her head ha-rdly.
” Hey. Amy..” Rhema, her best friend rolled her chair towards her.
” Rhema..” Amy tiredly waved, her eyes struggling to stay open.
Rhema rested her cheeks on her palm.
” So..what excuse do you have for coming late today…huh miss LAzy?” Rhema hissed.
” It actually a long story, Rhema. Seriously..I’m in hu-ge debt right now” Amy said, sitting up.
Rhema, a girl who enjoyed listening to stories, quickly wrapped her cheeks and leaned her elbow on the table.
” Gist me about it all!!” she said, willingly smiling widely.
Amy sighed. She knotted her palm together as she carefully explained the whole incident to her friend.
At the end, Rhema found it very amusing than Amy had thought. She had never seen her friend ever so joyful.
” Omg!!. Wohoo..Someone is no longer a delievery girl!. Do you know what it means for you to work at his place??” She yelled daringly.
Before amy could try to speak, she had grabbed her shoulders ti-ghtly again.
” Love… love!!” She screamed, excitedly.
Amy didn’t know what to say to her completely crazy friend. Her eyes were confusingly wide and startled at her.
” So tell me…what’s this hot guy, CEO, name?” She quickly asked, bi-ting her lower li-p anxiously.
Amy lowered her head and had wanted to tell her she didn’t know his name before she got distracted by the bell alarm.
Everyone stood up. It was work time.
♠︎♠︎♤♤♤
After the end of work for that, Amy took a cab back home. it was raining outside but she was warm inside the cab.
She looked at the drizzling glas-s and the thought of pink filled her head.
She really couldn’t wait to see pink after a long tiring day and hu-g and ki-ss her.
Getting home, she opened the door and stepped out in the rain. She realised another car had been parked at the other lane of the street.
She ignored it and began to run into her apartment before she would get drenched.
At her doorstep, a fancy box was placed on the floor carpet.
She looked around for a while wondering who might have left the box here. Since it was at her doorstep, she as-sumed it belonged to her.
She quickly picked it up.
It was a lighweighted box and it increa-sed amy curiousity on knowing what was inside it.
She pulled her w£t shoes off and shifted the door open stepping into her warm welcoming home.
Pink welcomed her with a her usual happy bark sound leaving a smile on Amy’s face.
” Pinky!!” Amy pronounced, opening up her cage. Pink happily ran out, jumping to lic-k her again.
” I’ve missed you too.” She laughed, returning back to the sofa. After cuddling her for a while, she dropped the dog to pick the box.
” Mn. Strange, no label or anything” she said checking every side of the box.
” Anyways, let see what’s inside”
Opening the box, she was greatly marveled by what was inside it. The gift item were wrapped inside a silicone paper.
She picked them out, one by one and staring at them with great awe.
It was a breathtaking office shirt and black pin trousers that went well with the heels inside.
” Unh?. What type of gift is this?. Who brou-ght it?” Amy thought aloud.

Chapter 3.
Rain was still heavy in the dark.
Inside the close black cab parked at the corner of the road.
Xan was sitting next to the driver seat. He wearing a sea blue shirt with part of his ha-rd che-st visible from the few bu-ttons opened.
He lazily leaned his head on the headrest, running his fingers into his hair.
He looked out the car glas-s again and tugged his hair ti-ght in his fist.
Why was he feeling so on edge!.
He leaned his elbow on his kneel and stared at the driver.
” What did you say your name was again?” He pinched his lashes, trying not to look upset.
” Gian ” He replied, placing his arm on his che-st while bowing his head.
” You were the one who crashed into my car this morning, right. You said you knew that little fella’s house, huh?”
” Y..yes sir. I’m very sure she lives there. This morning, i met her there before i picked her to work.” The driver said very sincerely.
” Why should i believe you. Why hasn’t the little fella arrive home yet. Does she have someone she visit before coming home?”
” I have no say in that, sir. Usually, I’ve seen her in that house countless times but i have no idea when she arrives home.” Gian said.
Xan’s eye lowered, he nodded his head as if he just realised a new thing.
He leaned back to the backseat and rested his face on his open palm. His bored eyes stared outside the drizzling glas-s for a while.
Suddenly, his thick brows squinted as soon as he noticed something familiar.
A small cab like the one he was in, had stopped next to the small balcony house.
Soon, a short girl tripped out in the cold weather, hu-gging her pale arm.
She began to hop towards her apartment balcony.
” That’s her!. Over there..that’s her.” Gian defensively pointed, almost before she ran in.
Xan simply nodded, seeing himself getting lost at the picturesque of her outside.
He made sure he watched with kin interest, every of her move.
He saw her pick up the box and without her making use of her br@in, she had sheepishly ran into her apartment.
Xan sighed, very satisfied at last. He thought she would have thrown the box into a waste bin.
He turned to Gian, flic-king his fingers.
” That all i wanted to see. You can drive me back to the park garage.” He seethed.
” Okay. Sir.” Gian immediately started the car and drove off.

9: 30
INSIDE AMY’S APARTMENT.
Amy couldnt wait to try out the new office dress. She had loosed off the stri-pe from the new cloth in a rush.
She threw the box away and opened up the shirt widely.
She finally found a piece of tag hanging on the shirt and her eyes blinked.
There was a signature on the tag, the one similar to the one she found on Xan’s personal card.
” Where’s that card?!!” She began to search around her, around the big mess she was caved into.
She found it and picked out the card. Her two eye balls moved sideways checking for the similarity between the two signature.
Her eyes went spherical and wide as her head began to realise things.
” Wait. Was it the CEO who bought this shirt and trouser for me?” She asked, staring at her dumb pink.
Pink growled, as if saying a yes to her imaginary question.
She stared at the shirt again and realised how wonderful it was, it was speaking with luxury.
She was still yet to believe if it was truly the CEO who gave her this nice cloth.
She suddenly pressed the cloth into her che-st, taking in the all scent of the ‘fresh from the boutique’ smell.
Her cheeks flushed red with excitement. She bit her lower li-ps ha-rd trying not to smile widely.
” So, mr CEO can be cold but be very nice as well. I could have disgraced myself wearing my delivery cloth to work, thank God he prepared me well..haha.” she laughed.
After having her bath that night, despite the deadly cold, she dressed up in a teddy costume that matched her little stature.
She stood in the mirror and made her hair into an ugly bun before she flew to bed, leaning on her stomach.
She picked up her phone and stared at xan number for a while.
His number was still blank with no name. She thought of giving him a particular title since she was unaware of his real name.
Even his personal card didn’t have any information of his name on it as well.
She rolled in bed for many endless minute until a silly idea came up in her head.
She quickly picked her phone and chuckled inwardly as her fingers racked on the bu-tton.
” I-cy…k-ing” she mumbled.
She was able to save him as the name ‘Icy king’ with a purple love emoji next to it.
She slept off having no idea why she gave him that unusual nickname.
♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎
NEXT MORNING.
ALARM ⏰ ⏰
The large alarm rang like an hospital alert signal, making the sleepy Amy sat up on the bed.
She scru-bbed her eyes and rested back on the headboard, grumbling to herself and wishing why today had to be Wednesday.
She feingly stood on her feet and walked towards her wardrobe. It was a wide one and it was filled with unfashionable cloth.
The only shinning light in the wardrobe was her glittering white shirt and pin trouser that kept booming out.
She couldn’t stop herself from smiling cheekily again. Her stomach began to whiplash with goosebumps.
She couldn’t believe she would be working in an office in some few hours to come. She would stay in offices and stare at computer screen all day.
How marvelous it was for the lazy Amy!.
She wanted to be that most punctual worker so as to put a smiling face on Xan- since he never smiled.
She wanted to also pay up her debt- yeah the major issue there.
” Huh!!” She screamed after staring at the wall clock and she quickly scrimmaged towards the bathroom.
Pink ran into her room to wake her up as usual but she was suprised to hear Amy’s voice sing right out the bathroom.
Now, Amy came out from the toilet and began to quickly pull her cloth into her nak-ed skin.
She was still unable to identify how her mr CEO found the right type of cloth that could slid into her body without interference.
She stood at the tall mirror, looking overly sharp and beautiful in her new cloth.
She knew she would render herself unpaid stares from crowds at work today.
She finally picked up her heels to wear.
Her leg fitted in but to stand on her feet was the real issue. She had to hold on to the support of tables.
Pink growled, showing her how confused and scared she was.
” You are right pink. I should go for what i feel comfortable in.” Amy said and before throwing off the heels.
Then she picked a white sneakers instead and she realised it went absolutely well than the heels itself.
And then she picked up her usual brown big ‘sack’ she called bag and ran out of the house immediately.
~~~~
Amy came down the cab in a haste and was glad to have met a car waiting for her at that same sp-ot of yesterday.
She crossed the road and leaned down to knock on the glas-s twice before it finally drew down.
Sean face showed up. Her ne-ck jilted a bit, she had wanted to see xan instead.
” Hello…Good morning!” she waved her arm, smiling like a pure lambish girl.
” Come in quickly. No time to waste out here!” He said.
She got into the car and sat down before closing back the door.
He stared at her dressing for a while and he quickly pulled a satisfied facial expression. He knew she was quite a stunning girl from onset.
But then, he noticed something.
” Are you throwing some trash on the way?. Why did you carry a sack with you?”
” Huh?…Um..n..no” she said, squeezing her sweet-old bag into her che-st while throwing her shy gaze away.
The car started to drive and it only drove in a minimum speed until it arrived inside a wide compound.
Amy was for-ced to stare out the widow, she began to marvel how tall the building was.
She almost gulped down by it hu-ge skyscra-per view. It almost seemed like the house was calling down to fall over her.
Sean showed her the way into an elevator and that took her way up, towards the working centre.
” When you get up. Take the first turn and go to the room number 1. un-derstand?” Sean asked.
” perfectly well, sir.” She nodded, being a good girl.
The elevator stopped and she came out looking around, into a whole new beautiful world.
Amy big smile was just too random to compare what was on her face. Her eyes, nose, ears and hair all stood with great joy.
So many workers wearing the same uniform as hers had started to rush in and leave throu-ghthe stair case.
She would stop to admire one thing or the other on the way. Everything she saw would leave her walking away speechless.
After taking a turn, she arrived in front of Xan’s office. Her normal heart raced ha-rd inside her che-st.
She felt so nervous. What if she failed her interview. She wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity to work in such a kind of place.
She let a swoosh of air pas-s throu-ghher li-ps before she pulled the door open.
Xan raised his head from his computer and his icy eyes scanned throu-ghher body pinning at her bag.
” Good morning sir!” Amy greeted, still standing at the door, unsure of if she was welcomed or not.
” Come over here quickly.” He ordered.
She walked over to his table and pulled out a chair to seat. Her heart kept on racing like a tornado and her fake smile dared not leave her face.
Xan knitted his fingers, staring down at the meek girl who was both scared and shy to exchange glances with him.
She would look at him and probably stretch her ne-ck to stare at somewhere uninteresting.
” Thanks for the outfit yesterday.” She mumbled, breaking the silence.
He slowly leaned into her, almost filling her face with his hot presence.
” That outfit…wasn’t a gift. You’d pay for that by working extra.” He said, his gaze growing intense.
He sat back on his chair leaving Amy speechless again.
” Your name?”
” Amy.” She for-ced her throat to bring up the words.
He stopped and stared at her for a while, as if correcting her inwardly.
” Amy blanc!. Sorry.” She mumbled, bi-ting her li-p again.
” Your status doesn’t fit to be a personal as-sistant to me but that’s the only job i know you can possibly do.” He tiredly said
Before Amy could speak, the door pulled opened and another man walked in.
Amy turned her head and couldn’t look away from him again. Who was this young man…
He was tall, lean and very s-×y. She was so blinded by his beauty that she lost focus on xan.
Xan glared dirty at him before turning to look at Amy
He was upset that she was staring at his brother lovingly. He pinched her chin and dragged her face forward.
” Miss. Not staring at me is a hu-ge crime!. You could get fired immediately!”
TBC
So CEO can be jealous too?.
Long episode.
Give watery comments.
