Only You

chapter 3

Grace's POV

After finishing the loads of work my bully of boss dumped on me, it was finally time I reached home not before buying an instant noodles packet for my dinner. Yep because that is the only cheapest meal I can afford as of right now.

After having dinner, I checked my phone to see any important notifications. Having none, I called it a day and slipped into deep slumber.

The whole week went by with nothing serious happening, except for the loads of work, and my boss finally learning my name. He is still the same impossible jackass but I just have to deal with it as of right now because I'm in need of money, and this job certainly pays me better than any other I have had so far. I was making my  way to the small kitchen in the office to get him his coffee when I saw I had company.

I however ignored the man standing there and continued making the coffee.  He of course noticed me and decided to start a conversation.

"Hey," the guy smiled at me.

"Hi," I nodded back at him.

"You new here?" I nodded at his question.

"Oh really what post?" He asked sweetly. Well he didn't really seem the jerk kind so I decided to answer him.

"I'm the new P.A for Mr. Knight"

"No way! so the rumors are true!" his eyes widened at my revelation.

I squinted my eyes at the sudden reaction. " What rumors?" I asked curiously.

"Oh you know that Mr. Knight finally got himself a beautiful female personal assistant." I slightly blushed at the 'beautiful' part.

"No wonder everyone was right!" I chuckled at his statement. "Oh how rude of me to not introduce myself! I'm Stephan," he offered me his hand to shake. I accepted it gladly.

"I'm Grace Miller"

"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl!"  cliche I thought.

"If you'll excuse me I have to go now," I showed him the coffee cup that I prepared for Mr Knight and he nodded.

"Can we meet at lunch if you are ok with it?"  I nodded at his request.

"Sure I'll see you there then," and with that I made my way back to his office.

I knocked before entering.
But what surprised me was that Mr Knight was glaring daggers at my direction as soon as I entered.
I got a little nervous thinking of what I did wrong this time. I gently placed the cup on his desk when he decided to open his mouth.

"It is advisable for you to keep your personal life out of the office Miss Miller. I don't want you flirting with my employees. " He spoke nonchalantly, all the while glaring at me.

I opened my mouth to argue back for that unbelievable accusation he was putting me up for but nothing came out. I looked like a fish out of water.
"Cat got your tongue Miss Miller?" he raised his eyebrow and as he spat arrogantly.

"I wasn't..." I tried to explain but he didn't let me.

"I don't care what you were or were not doing. I won't tolerate this kind of behaviour next time. You may leave now!" He went back to work without letting me explain anything.

I quietly left not before thinking what the hell just happened?

Once it was time for lunch, I packed my things ready to leave when a knock sounded on my door. "Come in" I called out without looking up.

"Looks like someone is busy," I looked up to find Stephan standing there.

"Oh hey what are you doing here?" I asked.
