Chapter 1 Introduction
Nellys pov
I was nervous as I walked into the lobby of Alexander's skyscraper. It was a beautiful building, towering above the city and commanding attention. I had just landed a job as his personal assistant, and the thought of working for a billionaire was both exciting and intimidating. I took a deep breath and reminded myself that I had worked hard to get here.My name is Nelly, and I had been working in the corporate world for several years. I had always been ambitious, striving to climb the ladder and make a name for myself. When I heard that Alexander was looking for a personal assistant, I knew that it was the opportunity of a lifetime. I submitted my resume and went through a grueling interview process. But in the end, I was chosen for the job.
As I walked towards the receptionist's desk, I could feel my heart racing. This was my chance to prove myself, to show Alexander that he had made the right decision in hiring me. I introduced myself and the receptionist led me to the elevator. I took a deep breath as the doors closed and the elevator started to ascend. My palms were sweating and I wiped them on my skirt. I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down.When the elevator doors opened, I stepped out into a large reception area. There were several people sitting on couches and chairs, all looking busy and important. I walked over to the receptionist's desk and introduced myself again. She asked me to take a seat and said that Alexander would be with me shortly.
I looked around the room, taking in the luxurious surroundings. The walls were lined with expensive artwork and there was a large crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The furniture was all high-end and looked extremely comfortable.
After a few minutes, I heard footsteps and turned to see Alexander walking towards me. He was tall and well-built, with piercing blue eyes and dark hair that was neatly styled. He was wearing a perfectly tailored suit that looked like it had been made just for him. I felt my heart skip a beat as he approached me.Hello, Nelly. Welcome to my company," he said, extending his hand.
I shook his hand, feeling a jolt of electricity shoot through my body. "Thank you, Mr. Alexander," I said, trying to sound confident.He smiled at me, and I felt my knees go weak. "Please, call me Alexander. And let's skip the formalities. I like to keep things casual around here."
I nodded, feeling a bit relieved. Alexander led me to his office, which was even more impressive than the reception area. There was a large mahogany desk in the center of the room, surrounded by leather chairs. The walls were lined with bookshelves, and there was a fireplace in the corner that was lit with a cozy fire.
Alexander sat down behind his desk and motioned for me to take a seat. I sat down across from him, feeling a bit intimidated. He looked at me for a moment, as if sizing me up.
"So, Nelly, tell me about yourself," he said, leaning back in his chair.
I took a deep breath and started to tell him about my background and my previous work experience. He listened intently, nodding occasionally. When I finished, he leaned forward and looked at me again."I'm impressed, Nelly. You seem like you have a lot of potential. I think you'll be a great fit for this position."I felt a surge of pride as he said that. "Thank you, Alexander. I won't let you down."He smiled at me again, and I felt myself relaxing a bit more. "I have no doubt about that," he said. "Now, let's get down to business. As my personal assistant, you'll be responsible for a wide range of tasks, from scheduling meetings to handling confidential information. You'll need to be organized, efficient, and discreet. Do you think you're up for the challenge?"I nodded, feeling determined. "Absolutely, Alexander. I'm ready to do whatever it takes.""Good," he said, nodding. "I have high expectations for my team, but I also believe in rewarding hard work. If you do well, there will be plenty of opportunities for advancement."I felt a surge of excitement at the thought of advancing in the company. "Thank you, Alexander. I'll work hard to earn your trust.""I have no doubt that you will," he said, standing up. "Let's get started. I have a meeting in 10 minutes, and I need you to gather some information for me."As he gave me my first task, I felt a mix of excitement and nerves. This was my chance to prove myself, to show that I had what it took to succeed in this high-pressure environment. And I was determined to make the most of it.
As the days went by, I settled into my role as Alexander's personal assistant. It was a challenging job, but I was determined to prove myself. I worked long hours, making sure that everything was taken care of, and Alexander seemed pleased with my performance.
One afternoon, Alexander called me into his office for a meeting. I walked in and sat down across from him, feeling a bit nervous. He looked at me with his piercing blue eyes, and I felt a flutter in my stomach."Nelly, I have a business meeting this evening, and I was wondering if you would like to join me."I was surprised by the invitation. "Of course, Alexander. I would be happy to."He smiled at me, and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Great. We'll leave in a few hours. In the meantime, I have some work for you to do."
I nodded, feeling excited about the prospect of going out with Alexander. As I was about to leave, he called out to me."Oh, and Nelly, I have to say, you look beautiful today."I blushed, feeling a mixture of pleasure and embarrassment. "Thank you, Alexander."
As the day wore on, I couldn't help but feel a growing attraction to Alexander. He was smart, successful, and incredibly handsome. I found myself daydreaming about him, imagining what it would be like to be with him.
Later that evening, Alexander picked me up in his car and we drove to a fancy restaurant. As we sat down at our table, I noticed that Alexander was looking at me intently.
"You know, Nelly, I have to say, you're not like any personal assistant I've ever had before."
I smiled at him, feeling a bit flattered. "Thank you, Alexander. I take my job very seriously."He nodded, still looking at me. "But it's not just that. You're beautiful, intelligent, and confident. You're the complete package."I felt my heart racing as he said that. "Thank you, Alexander. That means a lot coming from you."
