Xenon sneered and said, "Right. You aren't too dumb. I will deposit the money deducted yesterday back to your account then."

Miya's face lit up, and she said with excitement, "Really?! Thank you so much, Xenon."

When the car stopped outside the Uba Corporation, Xenon asked casually, "Do you really want a job?"

"Yes." Miya nodded. "I don't want to stay home all the time."

"Why don't you work at the headquarters then?"

"The Uba Corporation?"

Miya exclaimed happily, then she looked worried, "but i only have two to three years' work experience, and the U Corporation is one of the biggest companies in the world. I'm worried that I'm not competent enough."

"Three-month internship. If you. can't make it, then you are fired and don't ever think of looking for a job again," Xenon said plainly.

Miya felt more worried than excited now. I don't have another choice, do I? She thought. At least
It's a job. "Ok. I would like to work in the design department..."

"You will be in the secretary department, working for me." Xenon cut her short.

"A secretary? But I'm a designer. Or marketing? I have experience in marketing. I know nothing about secretary work." Miya explained.

"If you don't like my offer, then go home and be a full-time housewife," Xenon said and turned to leave.

Miya heaved a sigh and followed him behind into the Uba Corporation. If I become a full-time housewife,I will be stuck forever with no freedom or dignity.

Xenon walked towards the lift that was exclusive to him. He noticed that Miya was following him,
and he threw a glance at his assistant, Levi, who understood straight away. "Mrs. Miya Uba, please take the lifts. over there." He whispered to
Miya. "This one is only for Mr. Uba. Also, there's no need to tell anyone about your relationship with Mr. Uba."

Miya nodded. "No problem." The Uba Corporation consisted of eighty-eight floors, and the CEO's office was on the top floor. Walking out of the lift to the grand and spacious office, Miya had to take a deep breath to stay calm. In the past few years, she had imagined what it was like to work for an internationally renowned company. It was more impressive than she thought. The deco of Xenon's office was of perfect elegance and minimalism, in a black and white tone, adorned with a few green plants and
artistically expensive adornments. It was very Xenon Uba.
Standing at the door, Miya hesitated. It won't be an easy job working for him, being watched by him all the time and I know nothing about
secretary work.

"Mrs. Uba, Mr. Uba is waiting," Levi suggested.

"I don't think I can." Miya said, but Levi cut her short. "That's your problem then. Please go in, Mrs. Uba."

Miya heaved a sigh and knocked at the door.
"Come in," Xenon replied, his voice cold and clear. Miya went in and closed the door behind him gently. Xenon was seated by the desk, going through some documents. He was wearing a white shirt, the top button unbuttoned, his black suit on the coat hanger.

"Mr. Uba," Miya said.

"Yes?" Xenon answered without taking his eyes off the documents.

"l understand that the CEO's secretary deals with very important information and tasks. I'm worried that I will make mistakes..."

"If you do, then you get the punishment you deserve. Any other questions?"


Miya heaved a sigh and said, "No. Thanks for giving me a chance." Miya bowed and left. There's no point in talking to him about my feelings of worry. I don't have a choice. All l can do now is to adjust to the new job and take the challenge.

Hearing the helplessness in In Miya's voice, Xenon smiled. It gave him a spectacular sense of
triumph. I shall have you utterly tamed soon. He thought proudly Levi was waiting for Miya at the door. "Mr. Baker,"

"Please call me Levi, Mrs. Uba," Levi said.

"Levi, what do I need to do?"

"I will show you. This way, please."

The offices for the secretaries were spacious. Everyone was busily occupied. All the girls were
gorgeous and fit, and they could easily be top models if they would like to.
As Miya walked around the office, she noticed how everyone was busy making or answering
phone calls, printing stuff. Some were speaking on the phone languages that she couldn't understand, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Danish, etc. No one seemed to notice her. However, as Levi ushered Miya into the biggest room, everyone stopped what they were doing
and stood up to greet him and wondered who the young girl next to him was. She looks to be in her
early twenties, probably a fresh graduate or without much work experience. They thought.


"Good morning. This is Miya. She will be working at this office with you." Levi introduced her.

"Nice to meet you all," Miya said politely. "I'm a new intern without any experience in secretary work, and I hope to learn from all of you."

"Nice to meet you." The girls greeted, and all resumed their work. Just another new girl. They
thought. It was exactly what Levi was concerned about. He needed to let them know that Miya was someone important, but Xenon didn't want his staff to know that Miya was Mrs. Uba yet.

"Miya, this is your desk. If you have any questions, just let me know" Levi said aloud and clearly so that everyone could hear and understand that he had Miya's back.

"Thanks, Levi."

Everyone knew that Levi was. Xenon's favorite assistant. Apart from Xenon and the two vice
presidents, Jameson Uba and Jacob Morgan, Levi was the most looked up to and respected
in the company. Now that Levi had Miya's back, they realized that she wasn't just another new girl. Levi left as Miya settled at her desk, and he had explained to her about her job. The girls couldn't help taking a look at Miya now and then, wondering what the story behind it was. During the lunch break, Miya received a message from Xenon.

"Come to my office." Said Xenon.

Miya walked to Xenon's office with hesitation. As soon as she left, all the girls started gossiping
and murmuring
