Love My Alpha CEO

Nervous tension filled the air as David entered the expansive office. A sudden hush fell over the room, and all attention was drawn to him.

His employees exchanged nervous glances and feigned concentration on their work.

Nobody wanted to get fired by him. David had once fired an employee who was sipping coffee on duty.

Leila who had now settled down with her eyes fixed on the computer before her, shifted her gaze to him. She was naive and unsure of what to do.

Her heart suddenly throbbed painfully. She was numb. It's as if her heartache had leeched all energy from her being.

She was hurt for no reason and it baffled her a great deal.

As she fixed David with a penetrating stare, she was of no doubt he held a notable position. His presence and composure spoke authority loudly.

He had two hefty bodyguards behind him.

"Meet Leila. Your new Secretary."

Adam politely introduced Leila to David who seemed quite uninterested.

David turned to face Leila. He stared at her with cold eyes.

His look struck her like lightning.

Her heart began to beat out of rhythm.

She was dumb in silence. At that moment, she forgot what to say. It's as if her memory froze. She wanted to remember something but she felt too weak to think.

David was expecting her to say something. But she stood there in silence.

He furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head as he headed to his office. The sound of a printing machine jolted her memory, and she remembered what had happened.

It was as though her mouth had been sealed.

She looked around to see if anyone was watching her. No one seemed to look at her side. They were all busy with their work.

She sat silently staring at the computer before her. It's as if the computer noticed the air of awkwardness surrounding her.

Her heart still knocked against her ribs. She had no idea what was going on with her.

If she had seen him before, where?

She was sure David was the CEO. His commanding presence said it all.

She pressed the heels of her palm against her eyes. She had no idea why her memory was so messed up.

She pursed her lips and looked around her again. She caught a blonde lady staring at her in the distance.

The blonde lady smirked and shifted back her focus to her work.

Leila felt she was not welcomed by the cold looks her coworkers occasionally gave her.

"You will get to love your new job."

Leila looked up. It's the blonde lady who smirked at her earlier.

"I'm Regina. Call me Reg."

She smiled at Leila adjusting her eyeglasses.

"Leila."

She returned the smile.

After a brief silence, she said.

"No secretary had lasted for two months. I bet you would quit or get fired at the end of the day."

Leila's face creased into a frown. She wasn't expecting that at all. She was utterly lost.

What was she talking about?

"No one will tell you the truth but I will."

Reg raised her eyebrows and shrugged.

Leila noticed the intent glare and pitiful looks around her. It's as if they were all saying the same thing with their eyes.

She was not the type to give up easily. She'd fight against all odds to keep her job.

The sound of a ringing telephone piercing the space made Reg scurry back to her desk.
