Chapter 10

As the day goes by, I haven't forced Dad that I should continue to present the proposal because, mainly, maybe they don't trust me anymore. We also didn't get along very well with Blade thingy idea of being his secretary. I don't know what I would say because he's out of town for a business project or meeting, but I haven't asked too much or ask for an update because it seems to be important that I have something to deal with on my own too.

I'm now packing my belongings to take to Blade's office, and it's a waste of time knowing that after holding this position as in charge of merchandising some new products that are new, to prove something that I can seal a deal, but never mind. Dad didn't listen to me either, and I failed as his secretary.

But that's fine. I can learn a lot from Blade since he's an ace at sealing deals even though he's the CEO of their company. I can't help but imagine that we haven't even talked for a long time, although that's fine. We don't need to talk, and we're not actual lovers, so there is no need for updates.

As I delivered my belongings to his office, I was surprised when the front desk asked me before he went to the office.

"Who are they? Do you have an appointment with Mr. Blade now?" she asked and smiled at me.

I'm not offended by it. The wedding was a closed reception, so only a few knew.

"I'm his new secretary." I said with a smile.

"Oh yes ma'am." She said with a bow, "Follow me."

She said as she opened the door for me. Blade's table was facing the entrance while mine was located on the side of the room, and there I went.

"Do you want anything? Iced tea or coffee? "it asked me.

I just smiled at her and told her as I put down the box I was holding on my table.

"No, thank you. I'll just fix my stuff and leave. "

When I had arranged the things I needed for this new job, I sat in my chair and turned it around. Then something caught my eye; Blade's desk.

"Is he cleaning this or his secretary?" I laughed, caressed his table, and to my surprise, it was dusty; I took a tissue from my bag and wiped its things; he took a long time in his business meeting, and he wasn't even able to clean his stuff very well.

Out of nowhere, I opened her drawer and was exposed to a photo in the frame. It was Blade with a girl, and in her old photo, the girl has an angelic face, cat eyes, a pointy nose, and wavy hair. I don't know what kind of relationship they have with each other.

I was confused when I saw that photo in Blade's drawer, and I felt weak. I hope I didn't ruin something that had been precious to him before I met you. I was surprised when his secretary suddenly came in with juice and I let go of the handle. I'm in the chair or by my side.

"Ma'am, Sir Blade is giving it to you."

"Ow, he's already here?" I asked in a daze.

"No ma'am, I just mentioned to him that you're here." It smiles on me.

"I hope he doesn't bother anymore. I'm leaving too. I just wiped his table because it was dusty. " I said while pretending to wipe her desk.

"Maybe Sir has a lot of trust in you. He didn't want others to touch his stuff especially when he's gone."

I just nodded and smiled as she left, quickly picking up the photo and placing it back in his drawer. Thinking about the photo, I realized why seeing it makes me want to question Blade, but I should respect his privacy.

When I finished, I hurried out and bid his front desk good bye. I don't know if she's also his secretary, but I'll just ask him when he gets back. When I got in my car, I called Blade's number, and my heart was beating like crazy as if I had done something wrong. He answered the call before I could even speak

"Hello? Who's this? Blade is busy at the moment, but if you have an appointment with him, I'll tell him right away. "

I was surprised when the woman answered. Usually when I'm calling, he's the one who answers. Maybe his secretary, but why didn't she recognized my phone number? I remember it was named "Wifey." Something is really suspicious.

"Babe, who's that?" It was Blade's voice over the line that made my heart sink.

"Not speaking, maybe just the wrong number." The woman said then turned off the call.

I couldn't react anymore and drove calmly back to our house, not to the mansion, but I also told my dad that I would spend the night and they could party at home as long as it was clean when I arrived.

When I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. She was wearing an apron and, to my guess, the dinner was delicious, just right for my what-so-ever called broken tummy or heart? I don't know

When I was sitting on the sofa, I noticed that my curiosity could not just be swept under the rug. So I decided to talk to Dad about this matter in case it might get too embarrassing. Then I knew exactly what to do. It was to ask my best friend. Mom

"What's for dinner, Mom?" "I said to him and blew him back."

Is there a problem? "he asked me and just looked at me." I'm your mother. I know when there is something wrong.

"Ahm, I'm at Blade's office to arrange my things." It nodded and listened again.

"Then I saw something like a picture of him with a girl." She just listened to me as if she understood me.

"I think they are really close."

"Yes, before your marriage. Grizelda, your mother-in-law, suddenly shares knowledge about the girl that they didn't like her. " I just sat there and listened.

"So, in their eyes, the woman looks opportunistic, so they can't accept her."

"He was Blade's girlfriend for 8 years."
