133

The morning sun had just risen, illuminating the entire mansion with its warm glow. Alexa was already up and ready for her first day as Nolan’s assistant. She was dressed in her new work clothes, a white blouse and black pants, feeling confident and excited for the day ahead.

As she entered Nolan’s office, he greeted her with a smile and introduced her to his colleagues and the board of directors. Alexa felt welcomed by everyone, and they were all eager to work with her.

Nolan took Alexa around the office, showing her where everything was and explaining her duties. She was relieved to find out that it wasn’t going to be difficult as she only had to manage Nolan’s calls, emails, and files. He also introduced her to his personal secretary who was going to show her the ropes.

As the day went by, Alexa found herself settling into her new role with ease. She was efficient and organized, and Nolan was pleased with her work. He was also glad to see his colleagues interacting well with Alexa.

During the lunch break, Nolan took Alexa to the company cafeteria where she met some of the other employees. They were all curious about her and asked her many questions. Alexa politely answered their questions without giving away that she was living with Nolan.

The employees found Alexa very approachable and friendly. They shared their day-to-day lives outside work, telling her about their families, hobbies, and interests. Alexa enjoyed the conversation and felt grateful for the friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

As the day came to an end, Nolan thanked Alexa for her hard work and dedication. She had managed his calls and emails with ease, and he was impressed with her efficiency. He also noticed that his colleagues had taken a liking to Alexa, which made him even more pleased.

As Alexa left the office, she felt relieved that her first day had gone smoothly. She was grateful to Nolan for giving her the opportunity to work with him, and she knew that she was going to do her best to help him succeed.

As Alexa settled into her new role as Nolan’s assistant, she quickly found that managing his calls, emails, and files was not a difficult task. Nolan seemed pleased with her work, and she was happy to be able to help him out. However, she found it challenging to interact with his coworkers and board of directors without revealing that she lived with Nolan.

During one of Nolan’s office meetings, Alexa mingled with the BCI employees, listening to their day-to-day lives outside work. She found that they were fond of her, and they seemed to get along well. However, Alexa was hesitant to reveal her living arrangement with Nolan, as she didn’t want to cause any issues or biases inside the office.

Nolan noticed Alexa’s reticence and asked her why she was keeping her life discreet. Alexa hesitated for a moment before explaining that she didn’t want her coworkers to think that she had any biases towards Nolan or that there was any favoritism in the workplace.

Alexa had been working as Nolan’s assistant for a few weeks now, and she was loving the job. It was challenging enough to keep her on her toes, but not too overwhelming that it caused her stress. She had adapted well to Nolan’s work style, and he was pleased with her performance.

One day, while they were having lunch together in Nolan’s office, Alexa noticed him looking at her intently. “Is something wrong?” she asked, setting down her sandwich.

Nolan shook his head. “No, not at all. I was just thinking about how well you’ve been doing in this job. You’re a natural at it, Alexa.”

“Thank you, Nolan,” Alexa replied, feeling a flush rise to her cheeks. “I’m glad to hear that.”

Nolan took a sip of his drink and then set it down. “Can I ask you something, Alexa? Why do you keep your personal life so private?”

Alexa’s heart skipped a beat. She had been hoping to avoid this conversation. “I just think it’s best to keep my personal life separate from my work life,” she said carefully.

“But we’re not just coworkers, Alexa,” Nolan said, leaning back in his chair. “We live together. I don’t see any harm in telling our colleagues about our relationship.”

Alexa felt her pulse quicken. She had been dreading this moment since she started working for Nolan. She knew that once their colleagues found out about their living arrangement, it could cause tension in the office.

“I just don’t want anyone to think there are biases in the office,” she said, trying to keep her voice even.

Nolan chuckled. “Alexa, you worry too much. I’m sure our colleagues won’t care if we’re together. In fact, I think they’ll be happy for us.”

Alexa wasn’t so sure, but she didn’t want to argue with Nolan. She decided to change the subject. “Is there anything else you need me to do today, Nolan?”

Nolan shook his head. “No, nothing urgent. But I was wondering if you’d like to go out with me tonight.”

Alexa’s eyes widened in surprise. “What do you mean?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“I mean, I want to take you out on a date,” Nolan said, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “We can go to a nice restaurant, have a good meal, and then tell our colleagues about our relationship. What do you say?”

Alexa’s mind was racing. She wasn’t sure if she was ready to go public with their relationship, but she didn’t want to disappoint Nolan. “I don’t know, Nolan. It’s a big step.”

Nolan reached across the table and took Alexa’s hand. “I understand that you’re nervous, Alexa. But I love you, and I want everyone to know about us. Please, will you come with me tonight?”

Alexa looked into Nolan’s eyes, and she saw the love and sincerity there. She knew that he was right – it was time to stop hiding their relationship. “Okay, Nolan,” she said, a smile spreading across her face. “I’ll go with you tonight.”
