Chapter 3
Today is the day to if I know if I know if I''ll be broken or not. My first day at work and I''m really nervous
or should I say nervous is as an understatement. I hailed a cab.
"Please take me to Ryder enterprises", I entered and we went off. I reached thepany, paid the taxi
and it left before I could even change my mind.
"Good morning mam, how can I help you?" A woman at the reception desk said. She had curly light
brown hair and wasplimented by brown eyes and natural pink lips and she also looked familiar.
Taylor
"Taylor?"
"And if I may ask, how do you know my name?" She said as she typed in numbers on a phone which
looked like she was about to call security.
"Oh, no, no, you don''t have to do that. It''s me Emilia. Taylor, its Emilia"
She widened her eyes "Emilia?"
"Emilia?!!!. Oh my God, how I''ve missed you" she hugged me and continued "you didn''t even bother to
call. I thought something happened to you thest time you called when you hung up. I was so worried"
she choked back a sob. A, she missed me,
"am sorry Taylor, its not like I didn''t want to call, I just couldn''t after everything that had happened" I
said, "well, your going to tell me how you''ve been cause we are meeting up today after I finish work.
How did you know I work here?" She said confused
"uhm,I think I also work here."
"Wait, you were the one who called me?" She said with widened eyes,
"Yes mam. Am the one that''s a graduate with Ph.d degree in-"
"You know who is the CEO of Ryder enterprises, don''t you?"
"I know" I sighed and continued" but what choice do I have, Beth''s there for me to take care of and now
I go-"
"_who''s Beth".
"My adopted sister. we found her on the road the day I and mum left" "a, that was so nice of Alicia.
Wait, where is she? Is she working?" I shook my head.
"Taylor, mum''s dead. She passed away on her birthday. she wasing home because I pranked
called her saying the house was on fire but it was a lie cause we had a surprise party nned out for
her but then she had a heart attack and it was toote. Taylor, if I hadn''t lie. She would still be here. Its
my fault she''s dead Taylor, its my fault.
"A Mia, its not your fault"
It is. If I hadn''t li-"
"Who is this Taylor?" the familiar deep husky voice said.
"Uhm, its the new secretary for Patrick"
"Let me guess, first day of work?"
"Yeah"
"And if I may ask, why is she crying?"
"its nothing. Just nervousness"
"What''s her name" he said
"Emily. Emily Patson"
"well miss Emily, I know its your first day at work but I don''t pay workers to cry so now, it will be good if
you go to your office and start your job. Taylor, direct her" and then he left but turned back
"oh and also, Taylor. 12pm,my office with ke. You guys are dead" sheughed
"Common, it wasn''t our fault"
"I don''t care. My office, 12pm, with ke and miss Emily, I hateteness."
"Ok,...sirrr" I slurred still getting used to calling him sir.
"Good" And then I continued staring at his retreating figure.
"He''s sexy as fuck"
"Hey, that''s your boss your talking about" she smirked
"I don''t give two shits. He is sexier than thest time I saw him. Why does he want you and ke to
"Am married to ke. Well, his birth-"
"Day, 25th of march" I said

his friends but he didn''te home so we all left and decided I and ke woulde back the next
day. He went home and as he opened his door, balloons flew out everywhere causing him to scream
like a little girl and that was the same time, we reached his house." sheughed and then I too started
"Mia but you know you can''t allow him to see you like this as your working"
"Yeah, I know" my smile faltered and I continued
"But what can I do?" and then her face lit up,
"Yes, you can be wearing a wig and makeup" I continued staring at her.
"What?" She raised her hand innocently "when has my n never worked?" and she was right. Her
ns always work.
"Ugh, fine, I think your right"
"Am always right" she said with a grin on her face.
"Whatever. Now am going to buy the wig and before lunch, I''ll be back. Please cover for me"
"Ay ay, captain" she said
"See youter".

"Good afternoon mam, how may I help you?", looks like the n worked
"Taylor, its me"
"you wh- Mia?''
"the one and only" She widened her eyes. "wow, you look different"
"Good different or bad different?" I asked
"a little bit of both but mostly good different. its just the makeup is a little too much and your lenses.
Really orange?. Are you the sun or what?. Why didn''t you just buy green ones?" my face lit up "well, I
also bought that one as an alternative"
"Good, wear that one and also reduce the makeup"
"OK. If you say so". I did everything, careful not to see a certain someone.
"Now, how do I look?"
"Like a respectful woman"
"Gee thanks" I said sarcastically.
"Now, let me direct you to yo-"
"Taylor, I thought I to- , your still here?. You haven''t started working?. Taylor, I won''t ept this. Why
did you hold her back. We are almost done for the day. You" he pointed at me
"tomorrow, you start work. You can go home. if this happens again, I won''t hesitate to fire you. do you
understand?"
"Ye-yes sir. than-thank you sir" I stuttered "bye Taylor. Goodbye sir" and then I left with one thought in
my mind. He doesn''t recognize me.
A he doesn''t recognize her.. oh well..
