The Sweetness of Love at the First SightChapter 1
As I adjusted my uniform and stepped out from the CEO's office,
Valerie Wade was already sitting on the sofa, scrutinizing me from head to toe.
A colleague leaned in and whispered, "Ms. White, the Madam has been waiting to see the CEO for two hours."
I calmly fastened the last button and smiled, "Apologies, Madam, you know Mr. Shaw likes to take his time."
Without warning, she slapped me hard across the face and stormed into the office.
That day, rumors about Michael Shaw and me spread like wildfire.
As night fell, Valerie handed me a wad of cash with a smile.
I smiled faintly, thinking, "You are all just pawns; I choose to be the bait."
Valerie asked me, "The results are promising. How are things progressing?"
I shook my head and said I hadn't uncovered much yet. That was the reason why I agreed to carry on her plan to spread rumors about Michael and me.
The aim was to lure out Michael's real lover.
"Ms. Wade, are you really sure Mr. Shaw is hiding a woman secret love nest?"
I couldn't resist voicing my doubt.
I had been Michael Shaw's private assistant for three months now and I still hadn't uncovered a single lead.
