Lucas looked at the petty woman who was smiling at him and frowned. Was she insulating that she has been in this position with someone else before? The thought of her being in this kind of position with someone else made his blood boil and his knuckles turned white.
For some unknown reasons the temperature in the car dropped again and Samantha sneezed. This brought Lucas back from his wandering thoughts. He suddenly gritted his teeth.
"I didn't know aside from being a talker you could also act and accompany others" Lucas said in disgust
Samantha misunderstood his words to be that of praise so she continued to talk in a sweet voice.
"Not only do I accompany people, I also tell them stories, sing very well and help them change their..."
"Enough!" Lucas could not bear to listen any more.
At this point the car stop in front of the most magnificent building in the country, The Greens company. Lucas came out the car and took long slide to his office which was on the last floor of the glorious building. Samantha struggled to meet up with him.
"Hey jerk! Wait for me" Samantha said
Grayson almost died on a spot. "What was in the brain of this young woman" he thought. How could she not have figured out the man she is in with is a the one and only formidable Lucas Green. Why was she provking him intentionally.
Samantha ran up to him and collided with his broad back hurting her nose.
"Geez, are you made of rock or something? How can your back be so..." She swallowed the remaining words.she saw that his face was excluding darkness. She willingly shut her mouth.
They took the private elevator to the uppermost floor. His office alone occupies the whole floor excluding the aura of a king, no a god. Everything was in black color with only the transparent glasses adding a different color to it.
Samantha was lost in admiration of the whole setting. Nothing was out of place. Not even the pen lying motionlessly on the table. If she was told she would enter such a magnificent office in this life time, she would never believe. But now, not only did she casually enter such an office, she was also permitted by the big boss. The office was just too cold literally and figuratively. Samantha shivered from the cold and kept rubbing her hands together. Lucas who is now sitting on his executive chair scanned her with an upturned lips. Samantha was about to freeze to death when she suddenly felt warm. She looked up to see Lucas turning on the heater. She narrowed her eyes in distain.
"So there was a heater in this office and you watch me freeze for over 10 minutes?" Samantha fired
At this point, Grayson entered with what looked like a file. He looked between Samantha whose eyes were splitting fire and the calm unconcerned Lucas who was just sitting down as if Samantha wasn't talking to him.
"This young lady must have nine lives to be challenging Mr Green like this" Grayson thought to himself.
" This is the contract you asked me to draft Mr Green" Grayson handed over the file he was holding.
Lucas glanced through it and passed it to Samantha. " Sign it" he said .
Samantha stamped her feet in anger because Lucas was teasing her by remaining silent. She collected the contract and goes through it. Her pupils dilated the more she read.
" What kind of contract is this?" She asked staring daggers at Lucas.
Lucas casually tug at his tie" A contract you must sign or pay the sum of ten million dollars and starve a term in prison."
"This simply outrageous! I will get my lawyer" Samantha sighed.
"Suit yourself" Lucas said relaxing on his chair.
Grayson was about to spit blood. He wondered why Lucas was trying to bond this woman with a contract since he doesn't like women working for him. Yes, her crime was offensive but not so big to attract a ten million dollar fine or even a jail sentence. But he is Lucas Green and the law is in his palms. If he says she must go to jail then she will go to jail. Moreover, the girl was proving hard and navie. For gods sake, this is Mr Green and he could make her disappear with a snap of his finger. Even if he doesn't like the girl's audacity, he has to speak sense into her and save himself from witnessing another person disappearing.
"Well, Miss, you have the choice of signing the document or going to jail with a 10 million dollar fine. Even if you bring in a lawyer, the chances of you winning the case is zero. I think Mr Green is being merciful enough to negotiate with you..."
"Merciful my foot! He is obviously using his power to bully me" Samantha said
" Who cares if he is physically bullying you. This is Mr Green! Wake up dumb ass." Grayson muttered to himself. He then put on a bitter smile.
" By merciful I mean, do you know that your interruption cost Mr Green a meeting worth 100 billion? Mr Green was supposed to head for the meeting but you delayed him therefore causing the business market loss. I think it's is reasonable if you comply and sign the contract" Grayson Said.
"So I have to be his personal assistant for 1 year, attend business meetings, prepared his schedules and attend to his personal needs. Sticking to his side 24/7 like a parasite. What happens to my normal life?" Samantha asked distressed.
"Normal life? Your details clearly states that aside running a coffee shop with your friend, you have no other engagement. Not even a relationship" Grayson injected
"You... Who gave you the permission to investigate me" Samantha said turning red in embarrassment.
"I had to do that for your appointment as the P.A of Mr Green"
Samantha thought for awhile bitting her lips. Lucas for some reasons refused to take his eyes off her. Saying nothing but his presence was intimidating. Grayson was almost sweating because one wrong word could take his head.
"Okay I agree but I have one condition..." Samantha said looking at Lucas.
Damn it this was the first woman aside his mother that has dared to look him in the eyes without backing down. Instead of getting angry, he finds her looks appetizing. His adam apple rolled and his eyes darken with desires.
"What's your condition" Lucas said with a low voice.
Grayson's eyes widen in surprise. Did he hear wrongly? Mr Green was giving room for negotiations. .He looked at the girl and he envied her courage.
"I want to have my cat around too" Samantha said.
Lucas was startled. He was expecting she would request for a free day to wander around or request to be paid but she was only concerned about her cat. He narrowed his eyes and wandered why she was not like other women who would throw their selves at him. Well, it was part of the reason he chose her was because she was repulsive to him and he could use her to clear up the rumors of him being gay and also free himself from countless women seeking his attention.
Grayson was about laugh on how dumb Samantha was. Mr Green doesn't like pets and there was no how he was going to agree to such a condition. His ears almost split blood when he heard Lucas agree to it. He looked between Samantha and Lucas and he couldn't stop to hide the feeling of wonder and admiration for her. She was like a buddha in person. From now on wards he would plage his respect to her.
" But yuu must keep it out of my way or you will have to bury it soon" Lucas added.
Grayson sighed in relief. He almost thought Lucas has lot his mind for a woman. Thank God he is still ruthless.
"No problem" Samantha said defeated but with a smile of mischief.
