Hidden Affection Chapter 1 The first meeting

Movement here and there filled the whole office, some trying to arrange their tables properly, some putting away the foods they were eating,others looking into the mirror to see if they are looking presentable.Within a twinkle of an eye , everyone satat steadily in their desk looking straight on the screen of their computers. A very muscular figure entered the office,looking all shiny, with vibrant hair,a well defined jawline and handsome face, his look is the dream of all women. Immediately he reached the center of the office , a deep voice echoed," a meeting in 20 minutes".

Liam, a multimillion CEO of a renounced tech company in the city of Los Angeles was left with no option but to hire a new secretary since the old secretary has resigned. Rumor has it that no secretary of Liam lasted for a month,it was only Miss Mary who lasted as his secretary for five years. Liam was so worried about her leaving but his pride made it look like he doesn't care.

Everyone was seated in the meeting room wondering why an emergency meeting was called. Liam enters with his face fixed to his mobile phone and starts speaking, "the reason for this meeting is to announce that Miss Mary, the secretary of the company has resigned and a new secretary will be filling her position immediately, i think she will be here in five minutes time".

Immediately he stopped talking. A curvy, beautiful but shabbily dressed lady appeared through the door of the meeting room.With a scattered voice, she said, my name is Mia, the new secretary. Silence and tension filled the room for some minutes until Liam spoke, in a very harsh manner, " be seated and get to work, take the minutes of this meeting". After the meeting, the other worker welcomed Mia and showed her to her desk.She knocked and entered into Liam office to hand over the minutes she had taken, she mistakenly missed her steps and fell on Liam's desk, causing the files on the desk drop on the floor.

Shit, Liam said, "I do not work with clumsy people,fix yourself or say bye to this company, leave my office this instance before I lose my anger the more!"

Mia left the office with so much fright, but when she narrated the incident to her colleagues , they all laughed,saying that was her welcome address.

After work, Mia seems rather worried than happy, she fears that she didn't make a good impression on her first day.The next day, she woke up very early hoping to be the first at work and at least make some good impression. She came to work later ,meeting an office full of people including her boss, she was rather the last person to report to work.That day was actually a very happy day for Liam since he is expecting some investors to come and inspect a new machine he has manufactured. Mia who was also curious of what the machine looks like went into the manufacturing room to see the machine,she was so amazed when she got there, she kept the water she was drinking on a table closer to where the new manufactured machine was and went to take a look at other machines,upon her returned she noticed that the water has mistakenly poured on the new machine, at the same moment Liam entered the room with the investors and saw what Mia did.The machine became faulty so nothing was there to show the investors again.The investors left without investing into Liam's machine. Liam later told Mia that sacking her will be a very simple punishment for her instead she will work for some months without pay.

Days went by quickly and Mia adapted to the company and Liam's harassments. One fateful day, she was assigned to arrange a pile of folders and some other work. Due to the work load on her, she was the last person to leave the office. She got home and slept deeply,the next day she woke up to several missed calls from Liam and other colleagues, her heart skipped a beat when she saw the missed calls,when she tried calling them back, her phone died. She hurried to the office and saw all her colleagues and Liam with some police officers. Her colleagues informed her about an attempted robbery at the office, she was later question by the police officers since she was the last person to leave the office.After the police officers left, Liam who was already boiling with anger shouted in Mia's direction, "you incompetent of a person, do you know how much money and energy i invested into this company,how dare you show up here and trying to make me lose my hard work! Why does misfortune and disorder follow you everywhere you go, leave my company and do not show your filthy self to me again".

Mia, who was confused as to what exactly happened, was in tears and shaking. She moved to her desk,packed her belongings and walked out of the company. When she got to the main entrance she turned and looked at the building with tears in her eyes.

The company that day was filled with silence since everyone got used to Mia being around, they also felt that, Liams decision was too hasteful and unjust. That same evening, a colleague of Mia confessed that he was the one who returned to the office in the evening to pick something and mistakenly left the door open. Everyone was shocked by his confession especially Liam since he realized he blamed and sacked Mia unfairly.

A worker at the company who is also Liam's friend and old classmate pursued him to go and apologize to Mia and if possible ask her to return to the company but he refused. After Mia's departure, the secretaria position was left vacant because Liam's was trying to prevent another Mia from coming to his company and so, he disqualified every single person that applied for the position.

Mia on the other hand decided to get some rest before starting another job hurting.One evening as she was returning from shopping, she noticed a shadow following her, the shadow followed her till she was about to enter her house.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."
