The CEO's Assistant
Chapter 40.-1

"Scarlet, there is a delivery for you."

Lorry informed me while I was unpacking my things in our new apartment. Yes, today I am officially moving in with him.

"Delivery for me? Oh okay." I asked while thinking about what it could be.

"Well, see it's a beautiful flower bouquet. I think it's from your Mr. Pearce. Oh there is no note in here but it's a pretty lovely gesture. Don't you think? "She asked while giving it to me and I gladly accepted it with a sweet smile. "Oh look at you. I am so happy to see you fall in love like this." She cooed and I giggled while hugging her.

"Okay now. Let's get back to our work. I need to set all these things today before he comes back from work."

"Don't you think even you should surprise him with something special?" She wriggled her eyebrows while looking at me excitedly.

"Yeah....actually I should. I have never done anything for him. It's been him, who keeps doing something or the other for me. But Lorry I don't know what he likes!" I realized it now; I have not done a single thing for him. "Well, I think you both should have a bold and sexy date tonight in your apartment with dim lights, soft music, a hearty dinner and ravishing hot sex." She winked at me.

"Lorry...! Just shut up" I was so flustered. My cheeks turned a dark shade of red.

"What? He will be damn surprised. He likes surprises. Phht...If you ask me, I'll say just go for it. He will be on cloud nine. "

"How do you know he like surprises?"

"Uh...come on Letty all men like surprises from their girlfriend."

She said and rolled her eyes up and then mumbled something to herself.

"What?" I asked her while keeping my stuff inside the cupboard.

"Nothing..." She mumbled.

After pushing aside all the thoughts, I continued with my work.

After few minutes, again the doorbell rang. Lorry got to it and called out for me to come and see what it is. When I entered the living area I was surprised to see bouquets of flowers were all around the place. The delivery man still kept on placing the bouquet inside.

"Hey, may I know who is delivering all these flowers to her? " Lorry asked the delivery man and he just shrugged in response.

Our new apartment is quite spacious if you see. The whole place is homey with furnished set of sofa and chairs in the living room with a beautiful royal chandelier hanging on the top. Front wall consist of T.V. and also a comfy couch is set towards the right side. The living area also includes the large balcony which is separated by a sliding glass door. Then towards the left side is our bedroom with a combination of sky blue and light cream colored walls while in the middle a large kind sized bed is placed as well as adjustable light and room temperature system is also set. Towards the middle is his study room and towards the right side is the modern kitchen with all the amenities.

And right now if you see, this apartment is totally occupied with bouquet of flowers everywhere.

Lorry replaces it romantic and now she is counting them all while I am surprised with such a gesture and was smiling like an idiot.

After an hour, we finished with our unpacking of all my things and enjoyed a hearty lunch. Lorry had to leave for certain date which she won't tell me hence we said our goodbyes and I was all alone in the apartment. Later in the evening, Alexander came home and was surprised to see all the flowers.

"Oh don't you give me that surprised look. I know it's you who have been sending me all these flowers during the day Alex." I gave him a peck and hugged him tightly.

"Baby it's not me." He replied in a serious tone.

"You're kidding right?"

"No. Why would I?" He was now examining the flowers.

"Alex...I thought it's you and there was no note along with these. Then who could have delivered these to me? Or was it wrongly delivered?"

He thought for a while and then said,

"Maybe."

He quickly dialed a number and was speaking on the phone with someone. After a while he got a callback, then his expression turned hard and now he was very much pissed off.

After disconnecting the call, he did another call and after ten minutes few men came and started discarding all the flowers away.

"Alex, what happened?" I asked him though I was scared of him right now.

"These are sent by someone else. Don't worry it was sent mistakenly. They will clear it all out."

I just nodded in response.

Well, thank God after sometime Alex's mood got better and I was in his arms all the night. We had our dinner together and then watched television.

The warmth radiating from his body always made me feel safe. Then I remembered about me not surprising him with any plans. Taylor's words came in my mind.

I looked up at him and admiringly.

"You know you can kiss me now. I won't mind it at all. In fact I am longing for a kiss from you." He said mischievously which made me smile.

"I had missed you so much today in the office. Oh god..." saying that he held me tight, kept his face on my shoulder and his hands roamed around my back then pressed the sides of my waist. His touch made me moan and that led to a whole lot of things. We had a sexy night!

Next day~

"My dear you are such a lucky girl. I knew there is some possibility of you two getting together. Now see, you both are the power couple and setting an example for others." Maddie said while looking at the pictures of the party in the newspaper. We were sitting in the office canteen enjoying our break.

I was smiling while listening to her.

"Oh My, even she was present for the party?" she asked while pointing at Cherry's picture.

"Yes." I said in a small voice.

"Hmm...I would say just be careful. She is not a good person and I don't understand why she is back into his life." She frowned with that thought.

"Oh Maddie, don't worry. She is a friend now." I said though even I am not sure if everything is okay with her being in our life.

"Whatsoever, I am happy that you are there for him and everything is taken care regarding the press as well. He has given a proper statement that he is no longer single and declared his love for you. Oh honey, I am so happy for you." She hugged me and I was still smiling due to that news.

And I also remembered him asking me in the party to move in with him, me saying yes to it and about our last night love session in our apartment.

Maddie then pulled me out of my thoughts by giving her blessings to me.

Our break got over and we got ourselves back to work. Firstly I had few calls to be made for arranging meetings for him. Then I had certain documents to be filled and two reminders to be given to him. Suddenly I was called by him through the intercom,

"Scarlet. Cabin... Now..."

He was angry. Why?

I hurried to his cabin, after knocking his door two times I entered inside.

Strongly I was pulled into his hard chest and he kissed me with so much intensity as if his life depended on it.

I was getting all that fluttery feeling deep inside and I started kissing him back. We pulled away as we were both out of breath. But he hugged me; his head was on the nook of my neck.

"I missed you!" Hearing those words made me smile and I just let out a relief breath.

"I thought something was wrong."

"Nothing will go wrong if I have you with me." Saying he looked at me and grinned.

I lightly punched his shoulder and rolled my eyes for him being so cheesy.

There was a soft knock on the door and he muttered a come in irritated.
