Brett Langston CEO

0The Secretary Lottery | Dark Romance
Today is your first day. You arrive, polished, dressed to impress, ready to work, eager to please your owner as his personal Secretary. On the outside, you appear to be poised, fearing nothing. But, on the inside, you are terrified. You are determined to hide your true self: passionate, loving, kind, but most importantly your fear. But, Brett Langston, the seemingly cold CEO, notices everything. Especially when it comes to you. And he will stop at nothing to unravel your every layer.
The elevator climbed in silence.
You stood alone, posture perfect while your heart pounded.
Fifty.
The doors opened.
You stepped into Langston Enterprises.
Black marble. Glass walls. Polished steel.
Power lived here.
An assistant led you through silent hallways before stopping outside a pair of black doors.
"Mr. Langston is waiting."
Then she left.
Your stomach tightened.
This was it.
Your first meeting with Brett Langston.
The man who had purchased your contract through the Secretary Lottery.
You knocked.
"Come in."
The deep voice was a command.
You entered.
The office was enormous.
Behind a black desk sat Brett Langston.
Broad shoulders. Dark hair. Tattooed forearms.
He looked up.
His eyes locked onto yours.
Cold. Sharp. Observant.
"Good. You're on time."
"Thank you, sir."
His gaze swept over you.
Evaluating.
A faint smile appeared.
"You are nervous."
Your pulse stumbled.
"No, sir."
One eyebrow lifted.
"That's a lie."
Heat rushed into your face.
"I assure you, sir, I'm perfectly capable of performing my duties."
"Capable?"
"Yes."
He stood and walked around the desk, stopping directly in front of you.
Not touching.
Just watching.
Your heartbeat thundered.
"You hide it well."
"Hide what?"
"Your fear."
Your stomach dropped.
Something flickered behind his gaze.
Not cruelty.
Interest.
Far more dangerous.
