01 The Beginning

"Azriel, wake up! Wake up! I said wake up" a man shook the naked man laying down on the bed, the man named Azriel groaned and rolled away from the man "It's almost 8 am, what the hell are you still doing in bed?!" The man yelled and Azriel immediately sat up and looked around the room. He stood up, wrapping his blanket around his torso.

"I am up dad, I am up!" Azriel said before leaving his father alone in the room and lazily made his way to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth while yawning and slowly took a bath. After taking a bath, he got out of the bath.

The only thing covering his decency was a piece of white towel. He walked back to his room, his clothes already prepared for him. He put on his underwear, boxers, white long-sleeved polo shirt and his gray suit pants. A knock resonated around the room.

"Come in" he grufly said, the door opened revealing a pale woman wearing a light-brown, long-sleeved, v-necked shirt tucked inside a black pencil skirt. "Good morning Mr. Azriel" she softly said, bowing her head.

Azriel grunted in recognition as the girl came in, he sat down on an armchair as the girl walked over his necktie on her hand. The girl quietly fixed Azriel's tie and backed away after completing her task.

Azriel lazily put on his dress shoes and walked out of his room, he scrolled through his phone and called someone. "Hey baby, let's meet up tonight" he said, smiling without a care in the world. The girl walked after him after picking up his coat, closing the bedroom behind her.

The two walked in the dining room, she pulled out the chair for him as he sat down. Maids served him breakfast, she stayed a few steps behind him.

"Nesryn my schedule for the day" Azriel stated as he started his breakfast "You have a corporate meeting at 9 am, you are scheduled to have lunch with Mr. Marco, an afternoon tea with Madam Asteria and dinner with Mr. Alexander" The girl named Nesryn said.

Azriel hummed "Cancel my dinner, send my apologies and then book a restaurant for dinner" he said as Nesryn pulled out her work tablet and took notes.

"Buy a bouquet of 14 red roses by dinnertime, I'll be having a date tonight" Azriel continued after swallowing the food in his mouth. "Understood sir" Nesryn answered and excused herself to make a phone call to the restaurant.

When she finished the call, she waited by the car for her boss. The said man came out of the house, Nesryn went behind him and helped him wear his coat.

Azriel gave her a small nod of thanks as the driver opened the door for him, closing the door behind him. The butler opened the passenger door for Nesryn, he thanked the man and went in, closing the door behind her.

The drive to the office was a silent one as Nesryn focused on her tasks for the day. Both boss and secretary arrived at the company at 8:30 am. Several people with high positions in the company welcomed Azriel. Nesryn got out of the car and waited for Azriel to come out of the car.

The driver immediately ran and opened his car door. Azriel buttoned his coat as he walked in the company building. Nesryn a few steps behind him and the other officials following after them. He boarded the elevator followed by Nesryn, the other officials rode a different elevator. "The rose would be sent at 6pm and your reservation at the restaurant is at 7pm" Nesryn said as he scrolled through his phone.

The elevator dinged and the door opened, he walked out first followed by Nesryn. Everybody bowed when he walked by them, employees saying their 'good morning's' Nesryn grabbed a few folders on her desk outside his office and walked in her boss's office. She placed the folders on his desk and helped him out of his coat, hanging it on the coat hanger on the side.

Azriel continued scrolling through his phone as Nesryn fixed his desk "These files needed to be signed, please read them carefully" she softly said and walked away to a pantry to make Azriel's first cup of tea in the morning. After serving the tea and a few cookies with it, she excused herself and went out of the room and sat on her work area, just outside his office.

Checking over several folders and making sure Azriel's schedule doesn't overlap with anything that causes problems in the future. She walked back in the office "The meeting starts in 7 minutes" she informed him as Azriel stood up, handing her his phone. They boarded the elevator as Azriel fixed his clothes.

With a smile on his face he entered the meeting room, everybody present stood up in respect as he sat down on the end "Let's get this started" he gestured for the presenters to start, Nesryn sat down on his right as she took notes of the meeting whilst reading the folder given by the presenters.

She highlighted certain parts whilst crossing other parts, then handing it to Azriel. He read over it and nodded then gave it back, he kept tapping his fingers on the table as Nesryn paid attention to the presenters. The meeting ended an hour later and the two went back to the top floor. "Your lunch is at 12 pm, Mr. Marco said he'll be arriving ahead of time" Nesryn said, a soft smile plastered on her face.

Nesryn went back to her desk, she didn't return his phone so he could focus on his work. She might be his secretary but Azriel's parents gave her the permission to discipline him in anyways she sees fit. Though she has this power over him, she doesn't really like using it. Azriel is, after all, her boss and he's above her in so many levels.

With her back straight she continued on typing on her computer for a few hours, the peaceful silence was broken by her phone vibrating. She picked up her phone and turned off the alarm. She grabbed her black pouch, put her phone and wallet in it, put her computer at a sleep state and walked in Azriel's office after knocking softly.

A soft smile plastered on her face as she watched him signing the paperworks given to him. "Mr. Azriel, it's time to go for your lunch appointment with Mr. Marco" she softly said, trying not to scare her focused boss. Azriel put his pen down and he stood up, stretching his body. Nesryn cleaned up his table then helped him fix his hair.

She handed his phone back to him as they walked out of his office and into the elevator straight to the lobby. Nesryn called for his driver before hopping in the elevator, they walked out of the building, Azriel's car and driver already out front waiting for him. Azriel boarded the car and Nesryn sat in the passenger seat.

"Michelangelo Family Restaurant" Nesryn softly said and the driver nodded and drove off. A few minutes into the ride, Nesryn's work tablet buzzed off, she read through the file and passed it to Azriel. "An urgent file that needs to be signed, please sign on the lower right corner after reading it" she politely said as Azriel took the iPad from her.

She got her iPad a few minutes later, the document signed and approved. She sent the file back then checked the rest of Azriel's schedule, making sure every appointment was met and no other things were overlooked, with a satisfied hum, she turned off the iPad. 15 minutes later,they arrived at the restaurant on time.

The driver opened the door for the two of them, Nesryn said her thanks then immediately followed her boss in the restaurant. A hostess, clearly eyeing Azriel, greeted them at the entrance, Nesryn went in between them before Azriel even had the chance to flirt with her. Nesryn widened her eyes at her boss for a bit before her demeanor quickly changed.

She faced the hostess with a smile on her face, despite her cheery attitude, her fake smile says it all "Reservation under Mr. Marco" the hostess rolled her eyes at her, turning around and walking the two of them at a private room at the back of the restaurant, she opened the door and gestured for them to go in.

Nesryn stepped aside, allowing her boss to come in first, before following after him and closing the door on the hostess face. Trying her best not to laugh upon seeing her reaction. "Ah Azriel, welcome, welcome, come sit" Marco's booming voice filled the room. They both bro hugged as Nesryn sat beside her boss and started putting food on his plate as the two men talked with each other.

Marco excused himself to use the restroom, Despite having food on his plate Azriel didn't touch it one bit, throughout the entire conversation with Marco.
