LAURA PALEY’S REAL PARTNER EXPOSED
LAURA IS NOTHING BUT MY SECRETARY PLEASE REFRAIN FROM SPREADING FAKE RUMORS : NICHOLAS HARLOW DEFENDS HIS SECRETARY
LAURA PALEY –
“ Wow girl you must be the most searched on google right now “ Zoey said
“ well at least the reporters are gone and looking on the bright side people believe that we’re not dating and honestly that’s peace of mind for me “ I said
“ I’m happy for you but you have to read this comments , they’re so hilarious “ she said handing me the phone
I checked the first one
Bad_mimi43 : can Nick just stick with one girl already ?he’s such a playboy , poor Laura he must have gotten her hopes high .
“ No he didn’t “ I argued
“ just keep reading “ she said
Voconut33 : Honestly I think we’re ignoring the fact that this girl is still luckier than most of us , she’s Nick Harlow’s secretary , she gets to see him everyday …. She’s got nothing to loose
Vintage_king : Is it just me or is this Laura Paley girl insanely gorgeous ?
“ look this one finds you insanely gorgeous “ Zoey said
Doja_Doggy5 : Once again it has been established that there truly is a thick line between the rich and the poor, rich guys dating poor girls only happen in movies . In reality rich people move together not with the struggling class .
Wow , why does this sound like a kind of warning to me ?
Then I got a message notification
MR HARLOW : Good morning Laura , I miss your beautiful voice
Oh wow , I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my face when I saw the message
Me : I couldn’t help but miss your Baritone voice laced with a very sexy accent too
I did not just type that
MR HARLOW : Wait a minute , is it your birthday today ?
Me : No why’d you ask ?
MR HARLOW : You just flirted back , you know I’m always throwing the shots but you never respond .
Yeah right , respond and be your new plaything ?
Me : what do you want Mr Harlow ?
“ let me guess , you’re chatting with Nick ?” Zoey asked pulling me out of my thoughts
“ How’d you know ?” I asked
“ You have that stupid lovestruck smile on your face “ she said
“ What ? I don’t “
“ Yes you do “ she argued
Then I got another message notification
MR HARLOW : Arrrgh Miss Paley you just love hearing me say it don’t you ? I thought I already made it clear that YOU are what I want
Wow , classic way to make my heart race like crazy .
Me : No I mean what do you want from me ?
MR HARLOW : A taste , I want a taste of you
What the actual fuck ?
Me : I mean what do you want from me this morning ?
MR HARLOW : Oh about that , going straight to business then . Imagine my surprise when I found out that Miss Miller works at BLACK
Oh shoot !
Zoey has been busted , how the hell did he find out ?
Me : No she doesn’t work there …. That’s her Twin sister
Great way to make things worse Laura , Zoey is gonna have my head for this .
MR HARLOW : Really ? She has the same name has her twin sister ? Too bad I’ve got her resume in my hands right now
Oh shit ! I give up
“ Zoey you gotta read this “ I gave the phone to her , she went through the chat and her eyes widened in surprise
“ what the ? He knows I work for him? Laura it’s finished “
“ You have to calm down “
MR HARLOW : The unimaginable words she said to me still haunts my dream , Tell her to check her mail .
“ Babe you gotta check your mail now “ I said
She opened her phone and showed me the mail ,I checked it and saw that she just got invited to the to the top floor
“ wow this is bad “ I said
“ you know what , I’m not even worried anymore “ she said
“ uhhhh why ?”
“ Because I’ve got you “ she said
“ What ? Me ?”
“ Yes , I’m pretty sure you’re aware of the fact that Mr Harlow is quite smitten by you “ she said
“ He just wants to get in my pants , that’s all “ I said
“ Exactly and that is what we’ll use to our advantage “
“ how ?” I asked
“ Since he’s got a soft spot for you , if you tell him not to fire me I’m pretty sure he won’t “
“ Zoey best not get your hopes high , Mr Harlow knows how to keep his private life away from his professional life so I don’t think this is gonna work “
“ Let’s have Faith “
“ You’re right we shouldn’t loose Faith like that “ I said
“ That’s the spirit “ she said giving me a hi five
“ oh look Queen’s show is on “ I said grabbing the remote
“ Your love for queen can never end “ she said
“ I think it’s because we have a lot of similarities , you know “ I said
“ no kidding , if Queen finds out there’s a young lady who looks just like her I’m very sure , she’s going to take your ass to Maury “ she said
You can’t imagine how surprised I was when I saw someone that looked exactly like me on TV , except that she was a lot older , I grew up watching her fashion show because I just connected with her in some way .
“ Laura what if Queen turns out to be your biological mother “ she said
“ whoa Zoey you’ve got a very wild imagination , what is this ? a Korean drama ?” I asked
“ whatever I just think that it’s weird the way you both look alike “ she said
“ Well allow me to enlighten you , according to science and research it has been confirmed that there are 7 people who looks exactly like you in the world and you might meet two of them before you die “ I said
“ Really ? Wow you must be the Albert Einstein of our time , aren’t you ?”
“ whatever the show is starting “ I said shutting her up
“ Tomorrow’s gonna be a long day “ she whined resting her head on my shoulder
“ it’s not gonna be longer than 24 hours “ I said
.
.
.
“ Good morning Mr Chest “ I greeted
“ Beautiful Morning Miss Paley , trust you had a good night rest “
“ ummm yeah , can I go in ?” I said pointing to Mr Harlow’s office
“ of course “ he said
“ Zoey wait here I’ll call you when it’s time” I said to her
“ sure “ she said
“ Thanks “ I said to Mr Chest as I walked up to the huge doors , I knocked a little and I heard a soft ‘come in’
I entered and saw Mr Harlow seated on his chair , Luca was also sitting on one of the cushions .
“ Look who’s here , My only best friend who doesn’t like pineapple on her pizza “ Luca said giving me a hug
“ ok back up “ Mr Harlow said to him and he raised his hands in surrender
“ By the way pineapple on pizza is not that bad “ he said and I looked at him in disgust
Why would anyone like pineapple on their pizza … why ?
“ Miss Paley why are you here ?” he asked
“ Oh … yeah , Ummm Miss Miller is outside “ I said and immediately a sinister smile lit up on his face
“ Who’s Miss Miller ?” Luca asked
“ Remember the girl I told you about , the one who called me a whimp and called me a white boy , apparently she works in BLACK “ He said
It’s not her fault , you’re just so damn easy to insult .
“ No way “ Luca said laughing
“ Please you can’t fire her “ I pleaded
“ Fire her ? Miss Paley what do you take for ? I won’t fire her , I’ve got other plans for her “ he said smirking
“ What plans ?” I asked
“ Evil ones “ he confirmed
This jerk …
“ There’s nothing as evil as putting Pineapple on pizza “ I blurted out angrily then I realized the gravity of my words
Oh my God ! I did not just say that
Luca burst into a fit of laughter and gave me a fist bump .
“ uhhh excuse me “ he said
“ yeah excuse you pineapple and cheese just don’t go together , know that and know peace “ I said
“ Tell him Laura “ Luca said hyping me up
“ What do you know about cooking ? I’ve been cooking since I was Five and I’m very sure that if you try the pineapple pizza , you’ll love it “ he said
“ uhhh no thanks , I’m good “ I said which made Luca laugh again
“ This is a quality Tv drama right here “ Luca said
Wow , our mysery must amuse him a lot .
“ ok tell me one thing you know about cooking “ he said
Honestly I’m horrible at cooking , it’s Zoey’s thing , not mine .
“ Well I know for a fact that y’all don’t season your chicken “ I said
“ she’s right “ Luca said
“ Send Miss Miller in “ he said changing the topic
Wow he doesn’t season his chicken as well ?
Whatever
Ok Zoey you got this .
I messaged her and told her to come in.
The doors opened slowly and Zoey made her way in with wobbly feet , she kept her head down as she walked up to Nick’s table .
“ If it isn’t the Infamous Miss Miller who thought it was right to call her CEO a whimp “” he said
“ Mr Harlow I-I’m really sorry , please punish me accordingly “ she said bowing her head lower
I love that innocent play , keep it going girl .
“ Raise your head “ he said and Zoey did
“ I’m not gonna punish you , what am I a monster ? “ he asked
This man is planning something very fishy
“ Uhhh so what are you going to do ?” I asked
“ Miss Paley Your friend has been promoted to the top floor sales team “ he said
Wait what ?
He’s promoting her instead of punishing her ? This looks a little weird
“ What ? You’re promoting me to the top floor ?” Zoey asked
“ Yes Miss Miller , You’re now a member of the top floor “ he said
“ B-but why ?” she asked
“ You’ll see “ he said smiling
“ The vice president of the company will sign your letter “ he said pointing to Luca and immediately she looked at him
“ Thank you so – Luca ?” she asked unbelievably
Luca ?
Wait she knows him ?
The look of surprise on his face was priceless as he laid eyes on Zoey , they looked at each other for what seemed like forever .
“ uhhh what’s happening ?” Nick asked
“ I don’t know either “ I said
The look on Zoey’s Face literally screams ' a one night stand ' or ‘pay me back my money' and honestly I have a feeling that it’s not the latter .
Author’s note : so tell me dear reader , do you also love pineapple on your pizza?
