You Can Run But You Can't Hide My Contractual Wife

Arabella went back to her room gritting and clenching her fists. ‘That bastard!’ She had cursed him over and over again. She heaved a heavy breath and tried to forget what had happened earlier inside his room. How foolish she was, to think that Bill would treat her better. He’s still as arrogant as he was. How could she let him be her daughter’s father? He could have Trishia and all other women for all he cares, but she won’t allow herself to be included as one of his women not even a father to her child.

After calming herself, she walked out the office and went to the HR department. Just maybe the HR manager of Sky Corporation wasn’t that arrogant as their big boss, but when she got to the big HR department, someone had led her to the HR Vice President’s office.

“Good morning, Arabella Jones from NZ Cosmetics.” She smiled at the well-made and refined, old woman probably in her 60s.

“Nice to finally meet you Ms. Jones. Please have a seat. I’m Claire Perry.” Claire gave her hand to Arabella to welcome her. After, Arabella sat on the chair in front of her table appreciating Claire’s down to earth personality.

“What can I help you about?” Claire asked her directly.

“I want to know who was the CEO’s secretary? I haven’t met her yet. I wonder if she was on leave or perhaps, having a business trip abroad. As of now, I am staying at her office.” Arabella blurted everything out. All she wanted was to settle her working station so she could focus on her work or maybe she could transfer to another floor. Anywhere just not to see the arrogant every day.

“Ms. Jones, Mr. Sky didn’t have a secretary.” Claire just simply replied.

“What?” Arabella was shocked. A CEO with no secretary? It was quite unusual. Other CEOs had so many people around while Bill, the biggest and the richest, had none. Arabella had almost dropped her jaw in front of Claire.

“Ms. Jones, I don’t really share this, because this is a confidential matter.” Quite hesitant, Claire uttered. “But, okay. Since you are too eager, I will tell you, but you promise me that, it’s only for the two of us. Can you?” Before seeing Arabella in person, Claire was already familiar with her. She remembered Arabella’s face in the newspaper that was linked with their young CEO. Now that she was working in their company with the direct order of their big boss, one could easily conclude their relationship to each other.

“I promise.” Arabella’s face shown her full eagerness on the matter after all, it was also concerning her.

“After Mr. Sky fired Sharon with no exact reason, he didn’t want to have a secretary anymore. Only the Vice President could go up and report everything to him. In my analyzation, he fired Sharon because of trust issues and that made our CEO sensitive on trusting others.” Claire had no one to talk about this matter so she heaved a sigh of relief that finally she found someone willing to listen on her with confidentiality of course.

Arabella remembered everything that day when Sharon kidnapped her and pointed her with a gun. It suddenly gave her a chill down her spine remembering that traumatizing scene of her life. Arabella also remembered that Sharon had claimed Bill Sky to be their mastermind. Remembering Bill’s evil intent, it added up to her incensed towards him.

“If I am not mistaken, There’s that name Debbie? What about her.” Arabella asked, remembering Sharon’s assistant.

“Mr. Sky also fired her.” Claire answered, raising up her shoulders, feeling sorry for the young girl, Debbie.

So, as she promised herself before signing the contract, she went back to the CEO’s floor and stopped in front of Bill’s door. She mustered up her courage first, breathe out an ample air, then knocked three times as a normal protocol. Now that she was his secretary, it’s just right to conduct a proper business manner, even if her boss couldn’t be considered even near to proper. As expected, there was no reply from the inside.
