I Kissed A CEO And He Liked It! novel Chapter 7

“Last, if he needs anything, you attend to it. You will act as his assistant while you live under his roof,” told Mark.

Seeing Gabrielle bite her lip, he assured her, “Don’t worry. You are in good hands. The person you will be working for is Mister Kyle Wright, the CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation. He is a very reputable and honorable man.”

Gabrielle pursed her lips for a second before asking, “Will… will I be living alone with him?”

“Yes, but as I said, you will have your own private space,” Mark assured her.

She was naturally reluctant. When she and Warren were together, he offered for them to live on the same roof, but she never agreed. She was always afraid of what would happen when a man and a woman would live together.

Just as she was thinking this, however, she inwardly scoffed at the idea. She scolded herself, ‘Why in the world would the CEO of the Wright Diamond Corporation be interested in me? Dream on, Gaby.’

Considering her circumstance, this was her best option after all. She was in no position to be picky.

What she liked most about the offer was how the times when she was needed at the penthouse were outside of her school hours! It was clearly the perfect job for her - a miracle that not one schedule conflicted with her classes!

“So, let me get this straight,” she asked while going over the contract. “I get free food, free accommodation, the schedule seems to fit well with my studies so it’s also excellent… then I get paid five thousand dollars a month?”

“Yes, plus a personal driver to bring you to school and back as necessary, just so you won’t be late in attending to Mr. Wright’s home,” Mark added with a smile.

Gabrielle’s mouth fell open. She could not believe her ears! ‘I will have a driver? Pfft! Is this really a job?’

When her senses returned to her, she announced, “I’m in! Where do I sign – I mean, if I am accepted?”

Mark chuckled briefly before he nodded. He declared, “Congratulations, Miss Taylor. We accept you for the job. Your work starts this Friday!”

‘Wow, that was easy!’ She cheered herself on.

Without further delay, Mark immediately flipped to the last page of the contract and said, “You can sign here.”

As soon as Gabrielle signed the documents, Mark took the papers and handed her a personal copy. He then cautioned, “Just to remind you, under 4.3 in this contract, you are not allowed to terminate the agreement. Should you do, there is a fee of 50,000 dollars.”

Her face paled at the termination fee. She realized she did not go through the termination part of the contract, but thinking again about her current state, she weakly answered, “I – I am committed to working for Mr. Wright for a year.”

“Good,” said Mark. “Now, are you ready to meet Mr. Wright?”

“Right now?” Gabrielle asked.

“Yes! Right now. He is very much eager to see you,” Mark answered, but after seeing the puzzled expression of Gabrielle, he corrected himself, “Because we have not had a reliable person to look after his penthouse for a while. He looks forward to your help in keeping things in order at his residence.”

“Of course, he has to know you before you officially… move in this Friday,” added Mark.

Gabrielle agreed, understanding how this was bound to happen, anyhow.
