MORE THAN A SECRETARY

Katrina woke up to the sound of her alarm, opening her eyes she yawned and rubbed her eyes with her hand. Sluggishly getting up from her bed she went to her bathroom brushed her teeth and washed her face.

Then she came back and sat on her reading table. She opened her laptop to check and be sure she had everything prepared for the new week.

Katrina work as a Secretary for Lucas Evans.

"Lucas"

she called she was used to calling out his name at odd times when she is alone.

Her boss and the man she fell for. the one she has been in love with for almost five years now. She didn't know how the feelings started somehow between working together and going on business trips together she had somehow come to love her boss a man way out of her reach.

Initially, when she had started working for Lucas she had disliked him because he was arrogant and a big-time womanizer but between six years ago and now she had managed to get used to his arrogant and bossy nature. He wasn't a nice guy but he wasn't all that unbearable either.

And he cared for his family maybe that's why she fell for him.

"Okay, enough Katrina it's too early to start thinking of the boss" she scolded herself.

She closed her laptop after making sure everything she needed for the week was intact. All the schedules and meetings were properly documented.

She knew her boss was someone who hated been disorganized and unprepared for appearances.

After making sure she was good to go she checked her time it was 6;15 am do she went to her bathroom and took her bath. She usually resumes work by 8;30 am but she prefers to be there on time.

It's had taken her about 30minutes to bathe and dress up after which she hurriedly took a breakfast of scrambled eggs and bread. When she was ready finally it's was just a few minutes to 7;30.

She took her bag, her laptop, and other stuff she uses for the office and rushed down the apartment to the parking lot for her car. She drives a Mercedes which her boss had gifted to her when he found out she uses the bus to come to work. That was about three years ago.

It took her 30 minutes to get to work cuz of the heavy New York traffic.

She greeted her co-workers she met on her way to her office.

"Hi, Katrina good morning how was your weekend?" Asked Jordan her best friend and her co-worker.

"Hi, Jord, it's was cool, and yours?" She asked in reply.

"Mine was great I had fun, we were expecting you at Coral's birthday party but you never showed up," Jordan said.

"Yeah, I couldn't make it. I had errands to run over the weekend and I didn't get back till late at night. I sent her my wishes though." She explained.

"Sucks to be Lucas Secretary," Jordan replied

"No, Lucas is okay you just don't know him," Katrina said defending Lucas

"Yeah, you will defend him that's what you always do," Jordan said laughing

"I am not defending him I am just stating a fact."

"Whatever you say, lady," Jordan replied not convinced.

"I am serious."

"Yeah, I know you are. And I also know you like your boss." Jordan said with a knowing smile.

"Cut it out Jord, I knew I should never have told you that," Katrina replied.

"Come on girl I already figured that out you know, anyway, are you going to his sister Lilac's wedding she dropped an invite for everyone this morning."
