Chapter 266: You’ll Marry Me, Won’t You?
*Flashback*
Things had a way of just working out. Brooke became Ethan’s personal assistant, or secretary, whichever one Ethan deemed fit to make her for the day.
At first, she felt uncomfortable with having her office in his, so he created a desk outside of his office, just for her. He also gave her a private pass to use his reserved elevator, so she wouldn’t have to see the others at the company.
"You only need to see me, don’t you?" He told her, when Brooke informed him that the interns were going out for drinks.
Brooke nodded, her eyes trained on his hand which rested on her waist. Lately, the CEO had been helping her get accustomed to the job, but at the same time he had been getting close to her while he did that.
’This is normal, it’s perfectly normal.’ she would tell herself whenever Ethan stood behind her to instruct her on what to do. He would have a hand pointing at the screen and the other rested on her waist.
Brooke knew that men like Ethan had the luxury to choose whatever woman they desired. She also knew that if she gave in to him, she would be nothing more than just a conquest to him.
He would get bored of her and might even fire her at some point.
Hence, she resolved in her heart that if Ethan ever asked her for sex, that she would refuse him. She was sensible enough to know that that was a line she should never cross.
But her mind had never prepared her for when after working for Ethan for only two months, he came up to her and asked her.
