Entangling With The Billionaire

For two hours now, Clinton has been thinking and not working. The files that were placed on his desk by Linda his office assistant have not been reviewed and signed. He left them because he couldn’t focus. Today was an awful day for him after having dreamt about his wife, Sarah last night. The heartbreak she had caused him is starting to torment him again. For this reason, he has been thinking also what he can do to alleviate the pain in his heart. Spending his time drinking alcoholic liquors after work, seemed to be a good option for him. Just then, his doorbell rang.

“Who is there?’’ He asked.

“I’m the one sir,’’ replied a faint voice.

He recognized the voice. “A second please.’’ Quickly, he arranged himself and maintained a good posture on his office seat. “You may come in.’’ the door opened and to his surprise, she was whom he had not expected at the moment. Nevertheless, he proceeded to ask her what the problem was. “What is the `problem? You seem to have another set of documents for signing, am I right?’’

Linda appeared with a worried look. “Yes sir, pardon my negligence. It appeared I left some of them on my desk because, I was in a hurry to arrange your meeting with Jackson petro limited, next week. I’m sorry,’’ she placed the documents on his table.

The sweet scent of her body-spray filled the air. Clinton could perceive them. Not just her body-spray that made Linda special to him but also, her personality. It was something he has been admiring ever since Linda began to work for him. He had once initiated a little flirt between them but that did not go well as he had expected because he thought Linda had failed to get the message he was trying to send to her. That was the first week he learned about Sarah’s despicable act. Nevertheless, today is a different day, he might as well try again.

Linda was almost close to the door when Clinton called her. “Linda!’’ She turned innocently, to face her boss. “May I have a word with you before you return to your work?’’

Linda was not sure about what they were about to discuss however, she had the feeling that whatever they will discuss will not deviate from the company's affairs. She thought, ‘maybe she had made some mistakes with the files or some other things, and his boss is certainly, not happy about that. For months now she had noticed a new Clinton, he was not the usual boss he used to be. Something is not right. Whatever it was, it was just a matter of seconds before Clinton lets the cat out of the bag.

“I know I messed up with those files sir but, I can assure you I have instructed my subordinates to look into them. We will fix the problem as soon as possible. I’m very sorry for the inconveniences I might have caused you with my mistakes.’’ Linda quickly confessed her sins, before her boss reminds her about them. How wrong she was, for Clinton was not even about to talk about her flaws or even had any knowledge about them. He had always believed that Linda is the right candidate to be his private assistant, and that’s why he chose her.

“What mistakes Linda? I have no idea of what you are talking about.’’

Surprised, she went on to explain, “The mistakes in the previous files you signed two days ago. When I reviewed them, I was shocked to discover some flaws. I’m so sorry, it shouldn’t have happened in the first place.’’

“As I said, I have no idea of what you are talking about. Moreover, this is not the reason I called you back. I have something to tell you, altogether different from what you are talking about.

If he has something different to tell her then, what could that be? Linda seemed to have developed a high level of interest in what Clinton was telling her that afternoon. “Okay sir, I’m all ears,’’ she smiled.

Linda's smile emboldened Clinton to make the demand that had only popped into his mind that afternoon when Linda came in. "I was thinking about how your schedule will be after work today?"
