MR. WOLF'S SECRETARY: A SIDEKICK ROMANCE

Jacob slammed the steering wheel when he's inside the car and his action startled the woman he paid handsomely for nothing! He clenched his jaw while trying to come up with a plan to vent his frustrations with her. "Same time tomorrow," he announced.

"What did you say?"

"I said, let's meet again tomorrow, same time at the coffee shop."

Blair was dumbfounded at his announcement because it's ridiculous! Wait, no, it wasn't ridiculous, but tiresome! How could she work as his secretary during the day and become his whore at night? It's too much for her to handle and she needed to speak with Carmela Gordon right away.

"I'm not available tomorrow, sir."

"Available or not, you're going to be there!"

"Are you threatening me?" "Yes," he replied.

Threatened her with what? He had nothing to use against her, but the way he looked at her, it's as if he possessed something that could damage her. Perhaps...did his mother inform him about her true gender? In the end, she nodded to his order.

"How about going to the hotel with me now? Are you up to the challenge? After all, you needed to check if I am huge," he jested but the woman's face turned into crimson red. Did he make her uncomfortable?

Blair couldn't understand him. One moment he was cool, then the next, he was cruel! "I'd love to but my herpes wasn't treated yet," she bluffed but he immediately stopped the car, causing her to almost injure her head. "What are you doing?"

"Get out!"

"Are you serious? It was only a joke!" Blair tried to explain that it was only a joke but the darn man refused to listen to her, and he even tried to push her away. "You can't do this!" She snapped at him for repeating what he did to her when she was invited for dinner with his family.

Jacob smirked at the woman and pressed a button to open the door near her, then he pushed her outside. "Are you sure it's a joke?" He inquired before speeding away.

She was so furious that tears welled up in her eyes while trying to hail a cab. The evening was darker than usual and she was all alone in the dark. Jacob didn't even try to drop her off in a gas station or somewhere safe for a woman like her. Blair cursed her boss nonstop until a cab approached her.

Due to what happened after her dinner with Jacob and Zanetta, she wasn't able to get a peaceful sleep. When she got up in the morning, her body was sore and tired. She didn't feel like going to work but she needed to do something about Jacob Gordon.

Right, she shouldn't delay her talk with Carmela Gordon! To hell with the consequences of her action in the past but she decided that she couldn't co-exist with the man anymore. He was rude beyond redemption! "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Morning, Tracy!"

"You look beaten, did something happen last night?"

"It's a long story," Blair responded and after she peeled the hardboiled eggs she would have for breakfast, she prepared her milk.

"Care to talk about it after work?"

"I'd love to but I need to speak with Carmela Gordon later," she informed Tracy about her plans after work. When the other woman nodded, she changed the topic immediately. "So, how's your broken heart?" "It's still broken but works just fine," Tracy replied.

"Don't you have plans this coming weekend? Let's go somewhere far," she suggested.

"Sounds good to me."

Blair wasn't in a good mood when she entered the building of Wolf Bank, but her eyes widen in disbelief when several women were in the lobby. She knitted her brows in confusion because aside from Jacob's family member, no woman could freely enter the building!

Nevertheless, she ignored the bunch of women in the lobby and proceed to the elevator. However, when the elevator opened, she was pushed aside by some of the women. They seemed to be in a hurry and she wondered what's going on. She was about to ask one of the women and then she saw Carmela Gordon smiling towards her.

"Good morning, Blair."

"Hello Mrs. Gordon, are you going to see your son?"

"No, I'm going to interview his future mistress," she replied.

At that moment, Blair wondered if Carmela Gordon spied on her every move. The woman knew that Jacob was a woman-hater, and yet, he would hire a mistress for him. She also suggested the same last night at Zanetta's place. Could it be? Could it be that Carmel Gordon installed a listening device on her things and heard about the mistress thing?

"I thought that you want me to seduce your son," she reminded Carmela about their agreement.

"Are you scared? Then do your best, Blair, after all, it's a healthy competition."

"A healthy competition? What do you mean?"

"You have to apply for the position too," Carmela announced.

"What? How can I do that in my current state?"

She could manage to be Miss Annie for a few hours at night, but to become his mistress was out of the question. In addition to that, she had no plan to submit herself to someone like Jacob Gordon!

"All you have to do is erase your tattoo and start to grow your hair again."

"You have no idea what I went through just to get this job," Blair informed Carmela.

"Does it matter? You will still have a job under my son," she said.

"I don't want to be someone's playmate, Mrs. Gordon."

Carmela expressed a deep sigh before she took Blair's hand. "Follow me," she instructed.

Blair followed the woman up to the coffee shop. Carmela ordered two venti cups for their coffee and some muffins. She waited for the woman to talk but Carmela chose to be silent until their order was delivered to their table. "Can you do me a favor?"

Blair looked up to see a desperate middle-aged woman who asked for her help. No one asked for her help before and except for Tracy, nobody wanted to talk to her like a human being. "Such as?"

For the second time, Carmela took a deep breath to gather all her courage to ask Blair for a favor. She was desperate and she couldn't tell anyone about her dilemmas. "Please help my son, Blair."

"If there's someone who needed help, Mrs. Gordon, it's going to be me."

"I'm serious, Blair."

She wanted to tell Carmela that she was also serious but the woman's desperate eyes caught her attention. "How can I help him, Mrs. Gordon? He's extremely fine!" Blair said clenched her fist when he recalled what the bastard did to her last night.

Carmela smiled at the other woman. Blair Cuizon could be a stranger to her family but she knew she could trust her with Jacob. Before she began to speak, she wet her bottom lip and stared at Blair. "He's okay on the outside, but he has issues you know."

"Is he gay?"

Carmela burst into laughter at Blair's question and shook her head to deny her assumption that Jacob was gay. "He has no experience with women," Carmela admitted the horrible truth about her son but Blair only reacted with a raised eyebrow.

Blair was confused about how to react to Carmela Gordon's announcement. "You must be kidding Mrs. Gordon," she replied. "Why do you think so?"

"I was with him last night and I saw how he kissed that woman," she explained that Jacob Gordon couldn't remain celibate all these years.

"Please, Blair? Can you help my son overcome his fears?"

"Fear of women?" No, she didn't think so. Jacob was just being a dick and it's not because he feared any woman.

"Yes. I don't know what caused it but ever since he didn't have a girlfriend," Carmela explained. She wasn't supposed to divulge Jacob's darkest secret but she's desperate to see her son settle down as soon as possible. "Maybe he's just discreet with his affair, Mrs. Gordon."

"No, Blair. I know my son better than anyone else," Carmela replied.

"Are you serious about women? Did Mr. Gordon agree to it?"

"Not yet but I'm sure he will," Carmela replied.

So Jacob Gordon had no idea what his mother was trying to do. "I don't think it is right to manipulate your son this way, Mrs. Gordon."

Carmela raised her perfectly shaped brows at Blair for questioning her motive. "I like you, even more, Blair."

"Your son was raised well despite his shortcomings," she replied without mentioning how rude he was to her lately.

Carmela thought the same but when Jacob reached thirty without presenting a single girlfriend to the family, she began to suspect that something was wrong with him. "Fill this up," she gave Blair a copy of the form that needed to be filled up for anyone who wished to be Jacob's mistress.

Blair read the letterhead and she refused to accept the form. "Thank you for considering me but I can't do it," she refused the magnanimous offer of becoming Jacob's mistress.

Carmela frowned when Blair refused to help her. "You're not in the position to refuse," she reminded the woman who dared to falsified her document just to get the job. Blair opened her bag and retrieved the envelope with her resignation letter. As tired as she was last night, she prioritized it. "I love my job but I can't do it, Mrs. Gordon." Carmela didn't expect to receive her resignation letter. It was far from her imagination that the woman would quit. "I know this will happen," she said. "What?"

Carmela slumped on her chair and studied Blair intently, then she crossed her legs as she retrieved the checkbook from her bag. "How much do you want?"

She was dumbfounded when Carmela tore her resignation letter and wrote something on her checkbook. "It's a blank check, Blair."

At first, she thought it only happened in movies! While staring at the blank check on the table, she contemplated how to respond that would be beneficial to her. Her eyes darted towards the cup with her coffee and thought to copy the common reaction of women in her predicament. Then, she shook her head since she couldn't be mean towards Carmela Gordon. Should she just tear the check as well?

No, it's precious to be wasted for nothing!

Slowly, her hand crawled towards the check and picked it. Her eyes narrowed at the blank space where the amount involved should be written. Her heart pounded so loud at the possibility of having a huge amount of cash for her disposal. "Do I have to sleep with him?"

It took Blair a long time to decide, nonetheless, Carmela was satisfied with her first question. She thought that the young woman wasn't stupid, to begin with. "It's up to you, Blair."

"So it's not required," she needed confirmation from Carmela and when the other woman nodded, she thought that it's fair enough. "It's not hard at all however, I don't think I can live with him," she said and then returned the blank check to Carmela.

"I know it's hard Blair but I can't trust anyone not to sell my son's secret to the media," she changed her tactic when Blair didn't fall for it. "Can you help me this once?"

Blair wished for Carmela to stop because she's already tempted. It took so much of her willpower to return the check and if Jacob's mother wouldn't stop, she might as well accept the offer. Carefully, she watched the other woman across from her and she felt bad for her.

"I need to clock in at work now," she said after she retrieved the piece of paper on the table and placed it inside her bag.
