Who are you?

Danielle high heels kept clicking the titled floor stylishly. She was on latest designers from head to toe and looked expensive and beautiful. People kept staring with watering mouth. They couldn't help but murmur about who she could be or what she was doing in the company dressed like a non worker.

She stopped by the elevator and entered. As usual, the people in there stared longingly at her with their mouths moving up and down, and to and fro.

She inhaled softly when the door chimed and opened before her. She got down quickly and moved to her elder brother's office as directed by her mum.

However, the scene she saw made her halt. Her brows raised as she watched, perplexed. She remembered how her brother normally avoided physical contact with people, and he even once told her he didn't believe in love and would never fall in love. And right now, he was hugging a lady tightly who by the looks of things doesn't fancy being hugged.

"Damn" She chuckled. "So, It was all a lie, Poo" Danielle said.

Poo was the name she gave her brother. He didn't like it but she thought it was cute. When he was little, he was fond of watching Winnie the Pooh. That was how he got the nickname- Poo from his little sister.

When Dylan heard that, he took his eyes up to see a tall lady with heels with her arms crossed. It was surely his sister, Danielle.

"If that's Danielle. Who the hell am I hugging?" He thought with his brows already furrowing.

Without wasting a second, he pushed the stranger away.

"Who are you!" He barked which frightened Chloe.

"I...I...I just" Chloe couldn't find the perfect words. She couldn't help but stammer even though it wasn't her fault.

Chloe wished you would bark back at him. "Well, you were the one that hugged me first! So why yell at me like that as if it's my fault. Do you just hug people anyhow? What a stupid CEO you are"

"I said who the hell are you!" He yelled again. Chloe looked down, her heart was racing fast. She could feel tears piling in her eyes already.

"I wish...I wish I never came here" She thought.

How would she have known her boss would be like this? Scary and wicked. If he behaved this way, how would he come out to her if he finds out she was using a fake identity.

"Can you calm down, Poo. You've never changed" Danielle sighed and went closer to him.

"Still cold" She further said.

Danielle turned to a shaking Chloe whose eyes were still on the floor with her both hands gripping her purse.

"Hey, sorry about him. But who are you by the way?" She asked kindly.

Chloe sniffled and took her face up. When she did, the tears left her eyes and she quickly wiped them away.

"Look what you caused. She's crying now" Danielle turned over to her brother who still looked angry.

Dylan faced Chloe, and couldn't see anything. He couldn't even read her facial expression and emotions. His prosopagnosia was something he dreaded.

"I'm...I'm Ariel Peterson, Mr Dylan's new secretary" She sad.

"What? My Secretary? You know what, I take it back. Leave here and never return" Dylan said coldly.

"What?" Chloe muttered.

"You heard me. Leave"

"Can you just calm down?" Danielle spoke loudly to her brother not minding if he was older or just seeing him for the first time in 8 years.

"Now, You said you're his secretary right?" Danielle asked and she nodded.

"I was given a response via email stating my resumption to work as I have been appointment to now serve the CEO as his secretary" Chloe said and she heard Dylan scoff.

"So, why were you both hugging?" Danielle asked.

"I never hugged him. He did and he called me Danielle..."

"Huh?" Danielle muttered out of confusion.

"She...She doesn't know what's she saying. You said your name is...what again?" He asked.

"Ariel Peterson, sir"

"Ariel, enter my office and wait for me"

"Sir?"

"Just do as I said!"

"Why would I? You said you didn't want me to here and now, you are asking me to go into your office? You're quite weird, Sir"

"Wait, What!"

"Hold on, there's something I don't get. Ariel, what did you say my brother called you again" Danielle chipped.

"You know what!" Dylan suddenly exclaimed. "You have been hired to be my secretary. Now, go in and wait for me. We will talk later" He further said examining her clothes.

He actually wanted to know what she was putting on so that he would be able to recognize her later on. He smirked in satisfaction after studying her which Chloe noticed.

"What's his problem? Why is he boring holes on my body with his eyes? Is he a pervert?" Chloe thought with her eyes widened.

"I said you should go in. Danielle let go" He said and left with her though her face was still looking anxious and curious.

"Whoa, what was that?" Ellen who had been watching opened her mouth in awe.

"I wish I understood too. If you don't mind, can you get me a cup of coffee. I really need it. I'm fûcking nervous and I need that to cool down"

"No problem. I understand" Ellen giggled and left.

Minutes later, Ellen came back with a opened cup of coffee.

"That actually an instant coffee. I brewed that with the office coffee maker"

"Thank you, Ellen" Chloe smiled and stretched her hand to collected from her but unfortunately, the cup jerked and the content ended up pouring over her shirt.

Ellen gasped at the sight. "I'm so sorry" She quickly spoke.

"No, Its not entirely your fault, I guess" Chloe forced a chuckle looking at her ruined white shirt. She almost muttered a cuss word but she had to hold it in.

"You can have my jacket" Ellen said and took off her black jacket which she wore on Chloe.

"Thank you" Chloe smiled, buttoning it immediately. "I'll wash it and return it tomorrow"

"Sure...and about the coffee"

"You don't have to worry about it"

"Okay then. I'm going to go call the cleaning team to tidy here before Mr Dylan arrives. As for you, go in and wait for him like he said" Ellen said and Chloe nodded.

Dylan looked at his wrist watch when he entered the company. He couldn't believe he spent 43 minutes of his time talking and eating with Danielle at an expensive restaurant.

"I really wish I could see her face" He thought.

Other employees who saw him pass by, all delivered greetings as they should. He had his eyes on the name tag which was pinned on their breast pocket. This enabled him distinguish people.

He entered his personal elevator which took him to his office floor. He slowly walked through the lobby and stopped by the door.

When he opened it, he met someone sitting on the sofa by the wall. He studied the person for a while and he could swear it wasn't Ariel, his new secretary.

He vividly remembered the shirt she was putting on. Who could she be? And what does she want? He kept thinking.

He strided closer to her and she got up on her feet. Chloe wore a broad smile on her face which looked very fake.

"Are you back, Sir?" She said, making her voice presentable and respectful.

Dylan scanned her from head to toe before looking at her blank face, so as he saw. He gulped hard and shook his both hands into his pockets.

"Who...are you?" He whispered.

Chloe face turned sour and confused immediately.

"Huh?, Sir... It's me, Ariel. Don't...don't you recognize me?" Chloe muttered, her fingers were visibly shaking.
