scarlet's pov:

i felt the light shine through the room curtains , opening up my tightly closed, it took everything in me to not closing them back again i pushed myself up leaning against the board of the bed i looked around the room to see any traces of kristian but he wasn't there i took my phone to see the time and it was already 10 o'clock , i wasn't surprised that i slept until now , since me and kristian ended up sleeping at almost 5 o'clock but i was surprised and a bit disappointed that he wasn't by my side when i woke up , as i turned around and looked at the other side of the bed i saw a small note on the pillow , as i looked at it to see what was written i couldn't help myself from smiling or grinning like a teenager girl on the note was written

'morning beautiful , i hope you slept well , i asked the maids to get breakfast ready for you the moment you wake up so make sure you eat your meal , at 12 you have your meeting with your new manager so let the driver take you , and most importantly i would be honoured if you would let me take you out tonight on a date , be ready at 8 ...

love your Kris'

i smiled as i took my phone and sent a message to kristian telling him that i will see him tonight , after that i went and took a warm shower to refresh after i was done ,I wore my black lace underwear and tried to find something nice to wear that was a bit warm since the weather was a getting a bit colder lately and for some reason my body never handled the cold very good , i would always end up falling sick through the whole winter , so i always start to warm up my body sooner than others which is weird , after a lot of searching i finally decided to wear a black leather pants with a simple white shirt and with my nude heels and i made sure to keep with me my leather jacket in case i got cold

after i finished dressing up i putted on a simple makeup and a bit of lip-gloss taking my bag and phone and i went downstairs as i reached the kitchen i saw the chef getting my breakfast ready , how did he know that i was already up was beyond me

"good morning miss , your meal is almost ready please take a seat " i smiled back at him and walked to the chair , after a couple of minutes the pancakes and the smell of the bacon made my stomach growl in hunger and I diged in finishing every bit of it i noticed the chef smiling happily at me as i stood up i blushed a bit as i thanked him , it was already 11 and half by the time i finished eating as i almost stepped out of the door , two small hands hugged me from the back , i turned around and saw Noah staring at me a big smile settled on my face as i went down and hugged him

"hi baby , are you done with your lessons ?"

"Noah is done , are you leaving?" i felt bad for leaving him , i didn't even sit with him today , the whole purpose of me being here was so i can stay with Noah

"do you want me to stay baby?" i asked him as i caressed his chubby cheek , but to my surprise i saw him shack his head

"no daddy said you have to go , Noah will play with grandma "

"with grandma ?" Noah nodded his head with the biggest smile ever , as Claire walked behind him

"hello miss , its already time for you to leave , the driver is waiting for you outside "

"Claire , is somebody taking Noah out today?"

"yes miss , the master said that we can take him to visit your grandmother with bodyguards of course " i smiled slightly to here , after that i kissed Noah's cheek as i said goodbye and walked outside to the car .

it took us 15 minutes to reach the company where i was meeting mason , the company the not as big as the main branch where kristian worked , but it was still huge , it was all made of glass with a big entrance , as we reached the entrance there was a man in black suit with a note pad in his hand waiting for me outside , the driver came to my side of the door to open it for me before i even had the chance to come out , i smiled gently at him and thanked him

"you must be miss Kristof " i nodded my head at the young in front of me

"nice to meet you miss Kristof , my name is Brian James and I am Mr. Russo's assistant , please come with me , MR. Russo is waiting for you in his office " Brian smiled at me gently as gestured towards the entrance were two security men bowed slightly , i felt a bit awkward as i walked with him into the company , everyone was looking at us and whispering , i could here some of them as they tried to guess who i am

' i heard that she is gonna be the new artist under the acting CEO , she must be really good for the acting CEO to be her manager , and god i she fine' one guy was saying as his eyes travelled my body making me feel bad in a weird way , the girl beside him in the tight blue dress sneered as she looked at me with envy and disgust in her eyes

'she must have slept her way through , there is no way our acting CEO would be here manager with out a reason ' when i heard what she said i felt my whole body go rigid as i stood in front of the elevator , all of a sudden Brain turned around and stared at her

"name and department ?" the girl in the blue dress stiffened as she looked at him with fear in her eyes

" Ar..are you talking to me sir?

"name and department ?"

"Victoria stone , the secretaries department sir ..." i saw Brian write down something on his note pad before an elevator's ding was heard , he turned around and ushered me in , as we stepped in he looked back at the workers who were staring at us and said

" anyone who crosses the line with his words in this company , doesn't have a place in it to begin with , CEO knight pays you to work and not gossip , so please go and pack your desk your service is no longer needed in this company miss stone and let this be an example for everyone else " Brian finished saying as the elevator's door closed leaving everyone stunned even me , as the elevator went up i finally regained my conscious , i looked at him with a small smile

"you shouldn't have done that" i saw him look at me with the gentle smile he had before

"it's my job miss Kristof, respect is the most important thing for us and most importantly i had direct orders to take care of you , i cant let you get bullied right from the start " i smiled slightly but suddenly i heard him laughing out loud

"actually we can't let you get bullied at all , or CEO knight will have our heads , and my head is a quite valuable assist for me miss" i blushed hard as i finally registered his words , as i was about to explain all of a sudden the elevators door opened , Brian ushered for me to get out and walk with him towards the big office at the end of the hallway as we reached the big wooden door i started to get nervous and everything started to become more real , brain opened the door for me and walked in first , as i took the first step in i took a deep breath

this is it , my first step towards a bigger future , my dream...
