Chapter 6

Athena's POV

Waking up at four am was a normal thing for me. Pushing my covers off me I put on some Calvin Klein sports bra,some shorts and sneakers. I walk downstairs to the the gym room for some workout

An hour later I was sweating profusely,having worked out my arms,glutes,and the abs. I like to keep fit so eating fast foods has never been my thing. That and I'm also vegan. Of course there was a time even I consumed meat,I just left that part of me twelve years ago with my little girl crush. Yes am gay what'd you expect?

I had a pretty uneventful weekend except the part where I took Miss Hernandez to her place. I can't stop thinking about what happened. Although I know she won't know I took it upon me to get her to safety and I'd like to keep it that way. Don't need her thinking she's indebted to me or anything like that

I really hope she gets to work early because if there's anything I hate more than homophobic assholes are tardy people. Call me a freak but I fire anyone who comes late to work

That's how my last PA went,three times and she was on her last straw. The fourth time I didn't even let her in the building,I just sent her her salary in her bank account and that was it. No company prospers with late, uncommitted people

I went back upstairs to take a shower and get ready for work. I put on my black pantsuit and walked to the kitchen to make some breakfast. Preparing my banana smoothie I took my phone and dialed my dad's number

"Good morning dad"I said when he picked up

"Hey kiddo, already going to work?"he asked

"Yes dad you know I have to get there before everyone plus I got a new assistant so I'm hoping I could show her the strings around the office."

"Is that Athy?"I heard mom asking

"Yeah"my dad said and I heard shuffling on the other side before my mom's voice filled my ears

"Hey baby why won't you call your mom everyday?...and why am I not hearing about a girlfriend or a wife,you know I'm getting old already I want grandchildren Athy."mom sniffled

Here we go again

"Oh mother please not this again,I told you am still waiting for her

Besides it's not like you're going anywhere soon,you still got a hundred more years to live with me"I sighed

You're probably wondering why mother wants grandkids,well I'm Intersex and am not ashamed of how I am because I know she will accept me no matter what because we made a promise to each other.

Call me a fool but I know she's my forever and I won't get tired of waiting.

I may be hard,cold hearted and a rude bitch to everyone but that's because I have seen the cruel side of the world

I've gone through a lot,with the insults,the bullying and everything negative thrown at me while growing up. People tend to hurt others without thinking of the trauma they put them through

The mother of my little girl left me because "I am a freaking abomination"how she used to call me when she found out

One drunken mistake and I got a girl pregnant. Ten months later she came back and found me. Imagine her shock when she found out a girl got her pregnant and not just a girl but a girl with a penis. She forced my pants down to confirm if I was truly a "freak"and that's when all hell broke loose

"You fucking freaking abomination got me pregnant. How could I be so blind.I refuse to keep such a child from a demon's spawn. I don't give a damn what happens but I'm not taking care of a kid from a freak.You think anyone would accept to be with such a sorry for an excuse freak or even get to keep their child?I'm leaving and don't even think of looking for me"She shouted and then literally spat on me

I can still remember how lost I was that day. My mother was quick to get me up and take care of my little girl Roselia. Right now her nanny Diana looks after her when I'm busy in the company

So you see I have no time for women except her or relationships at all but mother keeps pressuring me

"Athy you know I only want what's best for you. How long will you wait for her. Are you sure she's even single or into girls right now. She's all grown up and might be married. You're almost thir...."

"Don't say that out loud mom" I shrieked

"Whatever Athy just know Roselia is gonna need a mom at some point am only looking out for both of you."

"Okay fine mom I heard what you said,now can I please get ready for work?"

"Just get rid of me all you want,I'm still your mom"she scoffed

"Sorry mom gotta go,bye I love you and dad"

"Bye honey,and kiss my little princess for me"

I hanged up and sighed.

I finished my smoothie and went to Rose's room to find her sleeping peacefully. I kiss her forehead and bring the cover her tightly

Walking out the door I see Diana and kiss her cheek. She's like a second mom to Rose so I respect her so much

"Have a lovely day Diana and no candy today she was so hyper yesterday night"

"Sure thing Miss Ealwood"

"Diana I thought we already went over this no calling me by my formal name, you're family"I said and walked to my garage.

I found Christian,my driver waiting for me

"Good morning Chris"

"Good morning A"

Chris and I were close,as close as my friends could get. He had being through a lot and although being my driver he has never being afraid to point out my mistakes and I like that about him.

Thirty minutes later I walk into my building and take the elevator straight to my private office which was on the sixth floor

Only a few important people are allowed on the floor as most business deals are done on the ninth floor while I handle my brainstorming ideas in my office

It's already six when I settle in my office. I pull out some few documents that needed my signatures and signed all of them. I won't have to overwork once Miss Hernandez gets here. Speaking of her I'm still certain there's something about her that bothers me but I can't quite point my finger at it

Picking up my phone I call a good old friend of mine

"Hey Athy to what do I owe this call"

"Hey Katie I need you to get me information about someone."

"Okay sure....does this someone happen to have a name?"

"Oh yeah,Hestia Hernandez,I want every information about her from her birth to her everyday schedule"

"Isn't that stalking?"Katie chuckled

"It's called being curious now hurry along,don't forget I want every single information about her."

"Sure bye Athy"

I hanged up and rested my arms on the table

I heard a knock and in came my secretary Lilian

"Yes Lilian?"

"Miss Hernandez is already here can I send her in?"

"Yes please"

"Good morning Miss Ealwood"Miss Hernandez said

"Sit down"I ordered coldly

Okay what is wrong with me and why am I being rude to her

"Sorry about that Miss Hernandez,as I was saying please have a seat."

I never apologize what is wrong with me. I mentally slapped myself

"You came quite early I can say I'm impressed" I said

"Thank you Miss Ealwood,I wanted to be early so I can get the hang of things before woke begins."

"That's reasonable,well alright it's quite simple..all you have to do is prepare my schedule everyday...my meeting times..drive me to and fro meetings or any other place..run a few errands for me..sign documents.. accompany me to meetings and to business trips that's all."

"Well alright I'd rather started now Miss, thank you so much."

"Let Lilian show you to your office and you can start from there."

As she got up I noticed she had on a tight blue pencil skirt that reached below her knees. Her perfect curves showing nicely,her ass all round and perfect size. I felt my bulge growing. This is not good I can't be thinking of her this way. She's just new here and probably doesn't know about 'my little buddy' not that anyone aside from family and my friends know

Think gross thoughts come on Athy. Gross. Harry,yes I caught him banging some boy on his couch when we walked in on him. Ewww. I shuddered at the memory

I realized my little buddy was no longer hard and was so thankful. I can't be jerking off with the thoughts of my new assistant that's just creepy

"Miss?"

I was brought back to my senses when I heard Miss Hernandez trying to get my attention

"Yes?"

"I asked if you're okay you spaced out a little."

"Yeah am fine thank you Esty"

Hold the fuckin phone did I just call her Esty? As in Esty like my long lost little crush?As in Esty the girl I promised to marry?I must be sick. Yeah that's it. Am sick

The silence was killing me while she stared at me like she could see my future. Her brown eyes bore holes into me and I wanted to look away but that would be cowardice of me

"What did you call me Miss?"she mumbled barely above her breath

"It's nothing,you can go ahead."I said instead

"Alright then" she said and walked out

Stupid... stupid ...stupid..I hit my forehead with every word. I can't believe I just did that.What were you thinking Athy? Way to go ,just freaking way to go ...she must think am some weird boss or something I mean am already a bitch to her and everyone else so I might as well be a weirdo

But why does it hurt that she could probably be thinking of me in that way?

"Who cares what she might be thinking,we got no time or space for catching feelings"

"I'm sensing something growing here"

"Shut the fuck up stupid"

My brain and my heart argued. Fortunately my brain always wins I really have no time to worry about what people think of me
