Chapter-8: Mark Enterprises

Alice's POV:

I followed him out of the palace and got into the car with him. It was a black Mercedes. Impressive!

The journey was silent. I wondered where he was taking me.

After some time, the car stopped in front of a huge building. It was written "Mark Enterprises" on the top of the building entrance. My mind went blank as I stood in front of the well-reputed and successive company of the state.

"Have you some meeting with the owner?" I asked, elbowing him.

He smiled brightly at my question. Is there's something funny in my question?

"I'm the owner." He answered nonchalantly.

My jaw dropped while he walked away casually. He's the OWNER?! The owner of one of the biggest companies in the state is a Vampire?! Well, who knew that?

My head was spinning, meanwhile, he said from a distance, "Follow me! And don't try to pull a stunt!"

With that, he walked towards the building. I rushed behind him to catch up to him.

When we entered the building, some senior employees were standing in the hallway to greet him.

Well, I never thought that my strange vampire kidnapper, plus Prince, is a wealthy businessman.

When we passed through the hall I felt many eyes gazing over us and some whispers of saying, "Who's that girl with the BOSS?" as we entered the office.

The office was well furnished. Everything was so classy and plush. He sat on the desk, while I was staring at every corner of the office.

He cleared his throat to catch my attention, as I looked at him.

"As I have mentioned before, you will serve me 24/7. So, in-office hours, you will be my secretary."

"But I'm not qualified enough to be your secretary. I mean, I haven't even cleared my college when you kidnapped me." I said the last line with a little sarcasm in it.

He raised an eyebrow and said giving a little swing to his chair backward.

"Well, that's not a problem at all. I will explain to you everything, besides most of the work is just following my orders." I nodded with gritted teeth. He was commanding me and you could see that he enjoyed it a whole lot more than he should.

"Now go and get me a nice coffee."

I stomped out of the room and went to the break room of the office. When I stepped out some girls followed me with their eyes. However, I wasn't bothered by them. They can watch all they want, right?

When I reached the break room, I took a mug and began to make coffee. It had an open kitchen. When I was almost done, a girl grabbed my arm from behind and turned me around so that now, I was facing her.

She had blond hair and sparkling green eyes. Her dress was too tight and seductive. An angry expression was clear on her face. Two more girls were standing behind her, smirking. She gave me once over before spitting in a disgusted tone.

"Hmm... So you are the girl who wants to seduce our Boss."

"Huh? Excuse me?" I said, astonished by her bluntness. Is she nuts?

"Why are you with him? I don't think that you are appointed. You should better stay away from him." She said, in a possessive manner. Then I understood that this was a matter of jealousy. But dear, you don't know that the BOSS you want to seduce will eat you as a snack lmao.....

I freed my arm from her grip and ignoring her, I went to hold the mug. I didn't have time to argue with stupid fangirls. When she saw that I had just ignored her warning, this built a rage in her mind, and she again jerked me back my arm.

However, this time that was her bad move. I couldn't stand her shit anymore and pinned her arm behind her back. She growled in pain and tried to free her hand but all in vain. I twisted her arm a little more to let her taste some pain.

"Don't you dare to touch me again. I will not let you go next time." I said, in her ear before releasing her arm with a push. She stumbled, as she fell on the other two girls, who were standing behind her all this time. They had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

With that, I took the coffee mug and began to walk towards the office, meanwhile throwing daggers at her.

When I entered the office, I placed the mug on the table and walked towards the nearby chair. He raised his eyes and looked at me strangely before speaking. "What took you so long?"

Your jerk lovers, you jerk!

"Nothing, Sir. Just a little lost," I said monotony, a fake smile coating on my face.

"Okay... Now get to your work. Here are some files. You have to enter the highlighted details in the required folders. The laptop to use is on the table."

He pointed towards the other table on the other side of the room. "I don't think it's difficult or it needs some special qualification."

"Yes, Sir!" Saying this, I took the files he had just put on the desk and walked towards the other table.

Argh! There are so many files. Should I have to enter data from all these files? Ah! I want to die! With that thought, I began to start my task.

It was evening now and I was hella tired. I just wanted to lie down in a bed and sleep for eternity. But still, there, I had to finish my task first. After all, it was my first task and I didn't want to show him how clumsy and lazy I was.

I released a sigh and started to work again. After a few minutes, he cleared his throat to catch my attention.

"Let's go!"

"Huh? Where?" I asked, surprised by the sudden notification.

"Don't you want to eat lunch? I know that you are half-human. The doctor told me yesterday."

Huh! Half-human? Well, that explains much about my lack of powers as compared to them. I never focused on my past. So, it's not that surprising, is it?

"Well, about the half-human thing, I also didn't know that either. It's not that important. I'm used to living like humans. And second, about lunch, no thank you. I would like to finish this task first that you have given me, Sir."

He got up from his chair and strode towards me. "You should better listen to me. Now get up, we are going for lunch."

With that, he grabbed my arm and pulled me up on my feet. Looks like I have no other choice.

He stepped out of the office with me behind him. Suddenly, all the gazes fell on us again, just like in the morning. I felt uncomfortable. Not that I'm a shy one, but everyone gets nervous in such a situation.

He stopped abruptly and turned towards me. I looked at him with curious eyes, wondering why he had stopped and turned towards me. He took a step forward and hooked his hand around my waist. My breath hitched and my heart started to beat faster as butterflies swirled in my stomach. Although his hand was cold it sent a warming feeling.

"Let's go." He said calmly.

I could feel the burning gaze of the girls, earlier from the break room. Heat crept beneath my skin and I couldn't help the blush. In that way, we got out of the building.

Was he trying to make me feel at ease because of those jealous girls? But how? He didn't even know that those slutty girls tried to bully me. Or maybe he knew? Ahhh! He must be playing with my mind!
