Naughty Ceo’s Secret
Chapter 11

"I can't believe that all you eat is salad now." Eric said.

We just sat down outside. It's beautiful out today. Not too hot, not too cold. The sky is clear, and the shade feels nice. Ugh, I love summer.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked with a laugh.

I know what he means though. I never used to care about what I ate. My lunches consisted of burgers, fries, pizza. All of the junk that isn't good for you. Now I focus more on proteins, and green veggies. Eric chuckled as he shook his head.

"I just never see you enjoy a nice juicy burger these days." He teased.

I shrugged as I stuff a mouthful of my cearser salad into my mouth.

"I save that kind of stuff for dinner now. Pace myself kinda thing." I responded.

"At least you aren't like these other girls here who only eat a cube of cheese a day." Eric laughed.

I laughed too. That's so true. I remember hearing all of them whisper about me before I had lost all of this weight. One woman who no longer works here once came up to me to tell me about how she only eats a handful of grapes a day, and drinks protein shakes all day. She said that I might want some tips from her.

Unbelievable, I know. I've lost a lot of weight, but I did it the right way. I still make sure to eat properly at least. I wasn't trying to be a size 0, I just wanted to lose some weight. Going to the gym became a place to get out of my own head. That's really the only reason I lost so much.

Although, I still don't eat as much as I used to. I try to stay away from carbs now, but sometimes I give in. I still love myself afterall.

"So, what's it like working for Mr. Suzuki?" Eric asked pulling me from my thoughts.

I shrugged.

"It's okay. I mean, it's only been a few hours, and he spent most of the time in a meeting with Mr. Rossi." I told him.

"Well, just watch out for him. I'd hate for him to put moves on you, and make you feel uncomfortable." Eric said.

I gave him a bored look. To which he pretended not to notice. Like Eric hasn't asked me out casually a few different times himself. Not that he makes me feel uncomfortable though, because he doesn't. "I doubt that will happen." I mumbled.

The rest of our lunch went well. Eric and I talked about some new movies coming out. To which he asked if I'd like to go see one. I told him only if my other friends could come. Poor guy is just not giving up.

Eric walked me back to my desk, and then left. Kenzo isn't back yet, so I sat down to go over his schedule for the hundredth time. I can't focus though. My mind is too consumed with the events of the last few weeks.

I still think about that store, er, club I guess. I wonder how often Kenzo, and Beck go there. What do they even do there? They must be Dom's with the way they keep telling me they like to be called master.

I don't know much about that lifestyle, but I do like to read about it. It's kind of hard to think about the fact that my boss is into that kind of thing. Maybe I should look more into it-

No! What am I even thinking? Kenzo is my boss. My boss. The man who signs my paychecks. I can't possibly be thinking of joining him in that lifestyle.

What makes me think that he would even have me to begin with? It's not like he really touched me that night. Kenzo knew how wet I was, he felt it. Yet, he only got me out of there, and sent me home. I've spent every day since wondering if that was because he was a nice guy, or just not interested in me.

I should probably stop having those thoughs of my boss though. Which is sad, because I've thought about that handsome face every day since I first met him. Not like it would happen anyways. Kenzo is way out of my league. Not only because of his looks, but his status now as well.

I have to just keep telling myself that I am only his secretary.

"Good afternoon Opal."

I looked up from my computer to see Kenzo walking through the doorway. The way he walks is like he owns the place. Well... he does, but it's still a type of confidence that I replace admirable.

"Good afternoon Mr. Suzuki. Are you prepared for your meeting with the advertising department?" I asked him.

Kenzo walked to his office door, but paused to look at me.

"s**t. I completely forgot about that." He muttered.

"Oh, I'm sorry sir. Did you want me to go over your schedule daily in the mornings to help better prepare you? I can call down to the head of the department, and tell him I'm new, and would like some more information. That way you can have a better understanding of what you're walking into?" I asked.

Kenzo just stared at me through my ramble. His black eyes are boring into me intensely. Jeez, does he always have to look at me like that? He looks like he's about to attack me.

Why am I getting excited over that?

"Uh.. uhm, I, uh, c-can d-d-do wh-whatever you prefer s-sir." I stammered out.

God, I sound like a damn i***t.

Kenzo shook his head.

"I think going over my daily schedule in the morning is a good idea. Go ahead, and call Aaron from advertising. See what exactly this meeting is about." He finally replied. "Got it." I responded as I turned back to my phone.

"Oh, and Opal."

I turned back to those intense black eyes.

"I appreciate you going above and beyond. Keep it up." Kenzo said.

"Th-thank you sir." I replied with a blush.

Kenzo gave me a nod, and walked into his office.

Holy s**t. Why am I blushing so hard? All he did was give me a compliment. I feel so.. noticed, and happy. Kenzo told me he appreciates me. Maybe he'll tell me good job if I work hard enough.

I'm not sure what rumors Eric heard, or what they say about Mr. Suzuki, but.. So far he seems like a kind man. I'm sure his job is stressful though. Kenzo probably has his days, just like every other human being. Maybe I should set Eric straight.

I called down to Aaron Barr, the head of advertising. He was very nice when I explained to him that I'm new, and would like more information. We chatted for a bit, and I let him know to expect more calls from me in the future before meetings.

Kenzo did tell me to keep it up, and I plan to. If Mr. Suzuki wanted me as a secretary, I'm going to be the best damn one he's ever had. So good, that he will praise me again, and again.

If it stirrs this fuzzy feeling in my stomach everytime I hear him compliment me, then I will work harder. Besides, I should probably give Kenzo the same treatment that I gave to Ted. Making their jobs easier, makes the company run smoother. And I want the company to succeed in every aspect.

I looked at the time on my computer. 12:45 p.m. The meeting starts soon, and it's being held downstairs in a conference room on the third floor. I should probably get Kenzo now.

I knocked on Kenzo's office door.

"Come in." Came his deep voice.

I took a deep breath, and opened the door. Kenzo's black eyes connected with my blue ones. My breath caught in my throat.

"Uh, Mr. Suzuki, are you ready for the meeting?" I asked.

Kenzo stood up, and grabbed his jacket.

"Mr. Barr told me that they will be presenting new commericals for you today. They have five in total, and need you to pick at least two. It will be Mr. Barr, and a few other department leads. Obviously, your say goes, but Mr. Barr and Mr. Rossi thought best to get mulitple outlooks." I told him.

Kenzo gave me a nod as he walked to his door. I stepped to the side to allow him to pass me. Kenzo turned his body to face me as he exited. He had plently of room to not turn, or touch me at all. Yet, his hot, hard body skimmed against me as he passed. My eyes fluttered, and my n*ipples instantly hardened. I've never had such an instant reaction to someone ever in my life. I need to get a grip.

I closed Kenzo's office door, and returned to my desk. Just before I was about to sit down, Kenzo's deep voice floated to my ears.

"What are you doing? You're coming with me."

I'm... going with him?
