Poorly Forgotten Secretary
First Round

Alex's grip on the handle of his suitcase grew firmer as the man held back a wave of anger. "Have you never seen my photo in Roxanne Levine's office?" Alex's dark eyes stared at Ambrosia with sharpness that struck the girl's heart.

Unfortunately Ambrosia was quite immune to Alex's sharp gaze. Ambrosia had been combat-ready before, so she was very anticipating no matter what Alex's attitude towards her, "The only photo in Roxanne Levine's room is of her husband holding their son as a baby."

"What about my photos on entertainment sites on the internet?" alex is getting upset.

Ambrosia raised both eyebrows thickly indifferently, "And why do I use the office internet or my personal internet to find your photos on entertainment sites? No, thank you, "reply to Ambrosia as is.

A very annoying frankness for an Alex Levine. Enough already!!! I surrender!!! inner Alex.

After a loud snort, and barely ruffling his own hair out of frustration at the attitude of his mother's secretary, Alex then took out his passport lazily, but he was unable to, and hand it over along with the phone that still displays a message from the mother to the woman.

"It! It's proof that I'm Alex Levine who you're waiting for on your boss's orders" he said in a high tone.

Ambrosia flinching for a moment, taking the two things that Alex had proffered with a slow motion that almost made Alex lose patience while glancing at the handsome man before her with a dislike look. Tsk, why should he be upset? He's the one who's gonna get the blame if I'm wrong to pick people up. Really ridiculous! Ambrosia grouse in the heart.

After checking his passport and the contents of the man's message clearly sent by Roxanne Levine, Ambrosia finally decided that he had met the person he had to pick up. Ambrosia returned the two objects to the owner calmly and said, "Let's come with me!"

Whahuh? Is that just his reaction? Alex's mind is inexhaustible. It was as if he still did not accept Ambrosia's treatment of him. What is the component? This woman is clearly ignoring my ego!

Alex, a famous model, used to being looked at with awe by women, suddenly became worthless in the presence of Ambrosia, the secretary her mother so loved.

Not yet finished Alex condemned the cold attitude of Ambrosia in his mind, again Alex was made gaping when he saw Ambrosia casually folding the white paper that the woman had brought him, the one with the name Alex in it, into a small fold and then just throw it into one of the trash cans that they happened to pass.

"Hey, what did you just do?" ask Alex in anger. He interrupted Ambrosia's steps by walking quickly after Miss Secretary and stopped right in front of the woman.

Ambrosia is a little surprised by Alex's impulsive actions. But Ambrosia tried her hardest not to show it, so she just spread her shoulders and replied lightly, "Disposal."

"Waste you said?" Alex was half screaming. Can't believe the poor response from the woman in front of him.

"Yes, that's rubbish. Something that is already useless, isn't it called trash?" Ambrosia asked in confusion. The pause between his two eyebrows slightly shriveled signifying his astonishment, although in Alex's eyes the face of Ambrosia still remained the same. Always flat since the first round of their debate.

"But.but my name is written on it," Alex pointed out.

But that was a real challenge in Alex's eyes. Alex increasingly misbehaved to see the calm attitude of Ambrosia that makes him more emotional soul. Regret runs through Alex's spine and loosens control of her tongue, "Hey you! Can you be a little polite to me?" alex protest loudly.

Ambrosia furrowed both of her eyebrows deeper, and this time Alex was clearly well aware of the change in expression on her mother's mainstay secretary's face.

"What part of my disrespectful attitude do you think? I was ordered only to pick you up from here and take you to Levine Enterprises as soon as possible, I was not ordered to go after you to lick you or to be too over-the-top to please you. So, Comeon! We're wasting too much time here."

Ambrosia resumed her steps calmly after finishing her sentence and passing Alex by.

Alex was riveted, his emotions raging. But he tried to restore his sanity in order to quickly meet with his mother to protest the behavior of the mainstay secretary.

The next few minutes, the journey from the Airport to the Aurora Place Building which only takes no more than fifteen minutes, it felt like a year for Ambrosia and Alex who filled their journey with awkward and torturous silence.

During the trip, Alex wondered inwardly. What's wrong with this woman? she thought, and why would her mother have a secretary like this? N-not this fashionable? Alex really doesn't understand. Has my mother's taste changed to be able to like creatures like this?

Alex squinted at the figure of Ambrosia who was focusing on driving. Although from the passenger seat he was sitting in, he could only see the side of the secretary, but Alex still stared intently at Ambrosia.

Ambrosia secretly realizes that Alex is watching her. How could he not realize that the sharp gaze of the man sitting in the passenger seat behind him made him feel the cold piercing his nape. Even so, Ambrosia chose to ignore the man who in her heart admitted that it was charming and chose to stay focused on driving.

Strange indeed—and a good reason to make him even more upset, that Ambrosia felt a real sensual attraction to Alex Levine. Something absurd that Ambrosia had never felt before.

Almost Ambrosia melted when she met face to face for the first time with the Crown Prince. Fortunately, Ambrosia's self-control was so strong that she did not embarrass herself in the presence of the handsome but annoying man.

Passion at first sight, Ambrosia thought cynically, and why does she now feel that sensual awareness? To an Alex Levine— man who in the future may be his boss; a man who may not be much different from his previous male bosses, seeing from Alex's arrogant attitude at their first meeting.

No man has ever been able to provoke such a strong physical response from Ambrosia. In fact, Ambrosia never really understood until the feeling came and hit him without warning, like the sudden appearance of Alex Levine in his life.

Keep calm, cool, and collected, Ambrosia tidied her life motto in the heart like a mantra to stay in control. Being wise is a belief that Ambrosia always applies in living life, and Ambrosia always thinks by being wise can save her from many problems that come in her life.

The sooner you get to the office, the better! So thought Ambrosia.
