He walked to his office and pursed when he got to Astoria's desk.
"Good morning sir" she greeted.
"Miss Astoria I would just pretend that I did not know that you resumed work five minutes ago" Ryan said and smiled.
"Excuse me?" Astoria asked both sacred and surprised.
"Just bring my schedule for today and let's just pretend" Ryan said and looked away from her.
"Am sorry sir" Astoria said with her head bowed.
Astoria watched as he entered the office, who is she lying to? Who can hide things from him? That rat he knows everything just everything.
"That's spoilt brat, let's just pretend" she mimicked.
She hissed and sat down as she prepared his file for schedule, she has forgotten that she is working with the most...... She doesn't even know how to put it. He is far from being a human and a animal is an understatement.
She entered his office and he shouted.
"Can't you knock?" She got scared and ran back to the door.
"Oh sorry I would go outside and knock again am really sorry" she apologized immediately.
"Don't worry, just come inside" Ryan said.
Astoria sighted and walked to him and stood opposite his table.
"Your schedules got canceled by your grandfather." She said putting down the files.
"What!?" Ryan said shouting and standing up.
"Well he set up blind dates for you like five of them" she explained calmly.
"Wait what five? And you allowed him to do that?" He fixed his eyes on her angrily.
"Was I supposed to, stop him? the chairman?" She asked surprised.
"Aren't you my secretary?" Ryan shouted at her.
"So was i supposed to say no Mr Ryan? I .can't do that to the chairman?, just go for the blind dates Mr Ryan I can't lose my job" she too almost shouted.
"Are you commanding me miss. Astoria?" Ryan placed his hands on his waist.
"No, like your grandfather asked you to go and dates and you are blaming me for accepting his proposal" she said and closed her eyes, she just exhausted all her boldness.
Ryan sighted and looked around, this his a disaster he said to him self, he is really not ready for marriage, why are they doing this to him huh!?.
