Seducing The President

IRIS'S POV-

My legs were shaking vigorously as if I had just encountered a living ghost. Suddenly the fifteen metres spacious lift seemed so small to me that I felt like I was suffocating and lacking of oxygen. I consoled myself inwardly encouraging myself,

"Breath in, Breath out, Iris. Everything is gonna be fine. It's just Mr President, Xavier Gray."

Lucky he was still connected with the phone call and didn't utter any words to me except throwing those eagle eyes on me ready to swallow me whole. I frowned slightly in dilemma and suddenly recalled that president's office had network connection even inside the lift.

But why will he appear inside my lift? Shouldn't presidents have their personal lift?

Confusion aroused across my puzzled mind as I shifted in my spot uncomfortably clutching the ironic phone in my palm.My phone beeped once again and I chopped Daisy into pieces inside my head.Soon after, he averted his eyes from me and I breathed heavenly.

My eyes caught the dark tattoo on his neck behind as I frown admiring the smooth artwork. The head of the dragon was crafted over his white skin so smoothly that it appeared out like a part of his skin not seemed like an artificial once. But one thought that I was assured about that he was indeed damn handsome and deserved to be call the national husband.

Under the white neon lights of the elevator, the straight nose of the handsome face revealed a beautiful silhouette. His thin lips were pursuing beautifully as he spit out each and every words flawlessly and sometimes used English in British accent. His navy-blue suit gave off a domineering aura like a king of hell which was engulfing the whole air of the elevator gradually.

Suddenly I felt that the elevator wasn't going too fast.

He glanced behind to see my puzzled state and my eyes again met those blue eyes crystal clear reflecting my own silhouette into it.

His eyes were too deep just like a bottomless vortex as if I would drown terribly into it which I didn't want. At least I didn't come in that intention.

Finally the elevator dinged as I dragged out my heavy body before him and I was Momentarily relieved that he was still on phone.

I just want to vanish from his gaze within a second!

As I took two quick steps ahead, a cold tone echoed in my eardrums as I closed my eyes shut in restlessness.

Damn it.. you are dead, Iris.

"Wait...!", Mr. President called me from behind as I turned back and found his dark face on me approaching slowly.

I looked around nervously and found no one nearby as the elevator was built far away from the staff's room.

I gulped down when he cut off the phone call, stuffed the brand new iphone into his pocket and stepped closer near my fragile body.

His expression seemed horrific as I nervously looked up to meet his hazel eyes.

He asked frowning hard,

"Who are you? Are you the secretary handled by Mr.Scott?"

I nodded affirmatively and parted my lips to apologise but his words interrupted me first causing my heart beating abruptly.

He asked pointing on the elevator coldly,

"Are you blind? Didn't you see the logo before entering the elevator? Such an undisciplined person."

My head sank as I titled my head to see the logo blankly and damn it.

I slapped myself mentally twice!

How can you be so reckless Iris? You actually broke the rule at the first day of your work using President's elevator!

I quickly apologised before the situation goes out my hands and made a 360 degree bow,

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry, Mr President. I was in rush. Please punish me however you want."

His expression sobered up a little as I noticed it from the corner of my frightened eyes. He waved his hand dismissively and ordered,

"Go report yourself to Mr. Scott's office. Remember that I don't tolerate indisciplined people. If you continue being like this nonsensical human being, you will be fired before a week."

I nodded vigorously and replied with gratitude,

"Thank you, Mr. President. I won't be disobedient ever."

He hummed coldly and turned away as I heard his mumbling in a low voice,

"That's why I said, women are troublesome."

I knitted my eyebrows and cursed his domineering attitude inwardly. He could have forgave me considering the fact that I was a newbie in his office.

I kept my eyes focused on his retreating back and felt somehow bewildered by his charm. Two people wearing presidential uniform rushed towards him opening the office gate for him respectively as his silhouette vanished from my vision behind the glass door.

My wrist watch suddenly beeped and my eyes went wider terribly.

Damn it! It's 8 A.M

I dragged my heavy body towards a closed door where I spotted the logo Mr.Scott.I started running towards the door bumped into someone on the way whom I didn't even bother to apologise.

My mind was in haze as I pulled open the door abruptly stepping into the office panting heavily. I sucked some long breath and realised that I didn't even knock! Damn it! Bad Day Indeed!

I looked up nervously ready to hear another scolding but unexpectedly the man on the telephone gazed at me solemnly. His expression remained calm and nonchalant as I scratched my head out of embarrassment.

Mr.Scott continued chatting on the telephone fluently speaking in English and occasionally glanced over me. He had a handsome face, straight nose and a strange aura of a decent man.

My mind subconsciously compared him with the president as I mentally cursed myself for having weird thoughts.

Shortly after, he finally put down the phone and I initiated the conversation first fixing my top slightly,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Scott. I was in bit hurry and forgot to knock the door."

I continued faking a bright smile,

"Hehe.. I hope you didn't mind Mr.Scott..

I'm.."

My words were interrupted again and I heard his calm tone,

"Iris Young, you are two minutes late."

I gulped my saliva nervously and he continued getting off from his office chair seriously,

"Miss Young, you are aware of the fact that here, we follow some strict rules for our employees. Our president is very punctual about works and demands everything flawless. You must be heard that there are no female employees in our whole office including the headquarters. President doesn't like to be around woman. But due to some circumstances, we needed to hire a female secretary for him. Mr.Cullen suggested me to hire you but you still need to pass the president. You are quite intelligent and cunning woman as far as my investigation says. I have high hopes from you. Just don't disappoint me, Miss Young."

I read his expression and understood the seriousness of my work. I smiled back assuringly that I would give my best and he led me towards the dragon's cave.

I mean, the president's office!

Well, I found Mr. Scott very cool man. Though his words were very straightforward but I liked the way he said that he had a high hopes from me.

We walked across the corridor and I found several men eyeing over me who were busy in working. Well not like they were drooling over me, they seemed very much surprised and curious. I offered them a warm smile but in return, they remained unfazed and held a robotic expression.

I twitched my lips sarcastically and followed Mr. Scott closely like a pet cat trailing her master.

Jeez, why are everyone so serious here!

He stopped at the entrance and ordered me to stay out of the office until he came back. I nodded like an obedient student and waited outside patiently.

XAVIER'S POV-

Fuck!

That's why I find women are troublesome!

I was having an urgent meeting with the chief commander and entered the elevator earlier.

It took no time for me to understand that this girl might be the secretary that Scott had hired for me.

Honestly I was firm against it but I needed a companion for god sake. Every time I joined a party or had any gathering with the foreigners, it required a female companion. Scott used to hire some top celebrities for me but they annoyed me so much that I even wanted to ban them from the industry. They used their own body on me like a cheap slut and wanted to get into my pants which I hated the most.

Later Scott suggested that it seemed suspicious about my sexual orientation for not having any woman beside me. Moreover I knew that who was the mastermind behind it.

It must be definitely my mom's doing. She had been persisting for a year almost to get married or find a girlfriend. But I really haven't felt any attraction towards any women till now.

I don't know why.. may be I don't feel or I don't want.!

But I would be honest to say that this girl looked different from other women that I had around me in the past. Her face was wearing a blooming aura when my eyes caught her sight. She looked like a fresh flower who was born to make everyone smile subconsciously. Though she wore a very attractive dress but her appearance still seemed like a child and girlish to me.

But something tingered in my mind when I met her drawn green eyes which never occurred to me before!

I sighed helplessly and leaned back against the head of the chair swinging in my memories.

Those vague laughter from my memory cracked in my eardrums like a upbeat music as I shot open my eyes watching Scott entering in my office.

I frowned slightly at his way and he took some large steps stopping in front of my desk. His professionalism was always top notch as I waited to hear his words.

He started speaking coldly and reprimanded each and every words,

"Mr. President, the Secretary has already arrived and is waiting for your approval. I believe that she won't disappoint you."

I sneered and replied straightening up my upper body,

"Disappoint? Well, she had successfully disappointed me. You know she had taken my elevator without watching the logo. You think she can take care of my whole paradise? She needs to handle the headquarters and my company both. From where did you find this girl, Scott? seriously.."

His face flashed with disappointment and I laughed inwardly over my judgment proudly. Unexpectedly next moment his face turned serious as he explained like a composition assuring that he shouldn't miss any single details,

"I'm seeking forgiveness on her behalf Mr President. She is still new here and doesn't know the rules well. I will strictly guide her and make perfect in every aspects. Moreover if you ask about her educational qualification, then I can say that you won't have any doubt over it.

She has graduated on two different subjects at a same time from the renowned varsities around the world. She still completed some external courses over programming and game developing. She can drive all kinds of cars and knows more than 7 languages around the world due to her living days in foreign countries. She is quite ambiguous over her work and takes everything seriously what she intends to do." He paused between his words as my face sank over her biography. Then I heard his pleading voice,

"So I think you should give her a chance at least. In this way you can close down those rumours about you too."

Okay.. I give up..

Scott has become professional over persuading me in this years staying by my side.

I waved my hand dismissively and ordered briefly,

"Let her in but she must pass my interview or else not.

Scott gave me another last bow and headed outside quickly.

I rolled my eyes and waited patiently to meet the strange girl keeping my sharpened eyes on the entrance!
