Chapter 4 Getting The Billionaire To Fall For Me

• "Seduce him? What for?"
• Scarlett asked with arched brows.
• "We need to set up a scandal."
• Damian stood from his seat, and moving to meet her again, he said, "we need to make everyone believe the Jobs are incapable of any worthy position in the country."
• "Take a look at this."
• He tossed an old tabloid at her.
• Looking at it from the corner of her eyes, she already knew what was written in it. It was a tabloid which she doubted if the allegations written against Albert Jobs were ever true.
• She read news and paid attention to things happening in the country, but then what she wasn't sure of was why The GK3 was actually after Jobs.
• But whatever reason was justified as long as Raphael was concerned, but hoped it wouldn't make her want to ever get intimate with him again.
• "These are old false stories, that-"
• "You can't be so sure."
• Damian cuts harshly, cutting her breath in an alarm.
• "The jobs have proven to be in the rader and we have to terminate whatever political career that man may have."
• "Then why don't we go after him instead? Why the son?"
• Scarlett asked with a tense tone, not remembering that she was talking out of line of her intended revenge.
• "I explained all these in the file Jack sent to you. "
• He paused briefly, and it was as if he was sniffing her, making Scarlett scoff.
• She hated it whenever he did that.
• "It's obvious you didn't even open it."
• "With the already existing scandal of Albert Jobs, don't you think that his son making advances to his new secretary on her first week of work will cause a good blow to them and a big input to our work?"
• Scarlett was mute.
• Actually she was confused and didn't know what to say not because she cared about Jobs or anything, but because she didn't want to have anything to do with Raphael again.
• "You can't back out now, Scarlett."
• Damian said, and quickly threw a file at her.
• Again she peeped at it from the corner of her eyes as if she already knew what was written in it.
• "Must you resort to threats?"
• She howled, as her eyes scanned through her pictures.
• They were taken by the hidden camera the GK3 hid on her brooch.
• It was meant to capture everything happening at Rapheal's office but there again the Gk3 were already using it to threaten her.
• "This was you portraying Raphael's secretary."
• Damian mocked with a wry smile.
• "You see, you can get this job done once and for all or face jail time, besides the pay is juicy."
• Scarlett nodded. Threats were all Damian could do after all.
• It has always been his method each time she complained about a job.
• And giving to the fact that she had no evidence against them.
• She undergoes a thorough search at the entrance before stepping into GK3 office and Jack gets her ready with the necessary tools such as cameras and microphones before each work.
• And even if she tried implicating anyone, it would be Jack.
• But Jack wasn't the one threatening her, it was Damian.
• "I'll give it my best."
• She started after a quick thought.
• She had nothing to lose after all, she would be paid tens of thousands of dollars and was already making plans of fleeing with her son using the money.
• She has come to know the GK3 as devils who never keep to their words.
• "I heard you whisked your son away."
• Damian interjected, giving a seemingly mocking laugh.
• "Do you think any location is beyond our reach?"
• Scarlett nodded in disapproval.
• "No, I don't." She muttered calmly, not wanting to prolong any conversation about her son.
• She had taken Oliver to Sally for the summer holidays and to have time to start up the floral business she had in mind before the GK3 came looking for her again.
• "Well, Raphael Jobs has a new project he is working on. It's going to be setting a pace for the company and other architects at large according to him. Did you come across that too?"
• Scarlett nodded emphatically.
• "I need hands on whatever document that is associated with those projects! The progress, the predicted adverse results, everything."
• Scarlett nodded again without saying a word.
• Turning to the exit, she let out a huge sigh of relief.
• Damian was really a pain in her ass.
• The next day, she was at the CODs Ventures again to pose as Rapheal's secretary.
• Tapping at the door gently, Rapheal's voice spoke from the inside, ushering her in.
• Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the office.
• She greeted Raphael, and immediately posed at the edge of the large table to read out the day's schedule but Raphael had interrupted.
• "You can read that while sitting."
• His words were gently stated, and his Adams apples had throttled at the command of his speech.
• Scarlett wished she never noticed that.
• She had been trying to avoid taking a long gaze at Raphael because of how dangerously handsome he was.
• "Sit."
• She sounded again, this time, sounding more like an order than a plea.
• "Meetings with the Glitz enterprise schedule by 10am-"
• She paused when the prickling awareness of his gaze gave her goosebumps
• His night-dark eyes casted on her, leaving her wonder why someone that charming would be so reckless with women.
• Rapheal was going to pay for all she cared, and if not for anything, for pretending like he didn't remember.
• "A function at the government group hearing by 2pm, I already prepared your speech... then-"
• "Hope you used the company's format?"
• Raphael interrupted,
• "Yes." She nodded lightly.
• "I have a business trip to San Jose next week, and I'd love-"
• The door clicked open and a lady bursted into the office.
• "Are you ever going to learn how to knock, Lucy?"
• Raphael asked, rudely, as he swung his chair further away from the table.
• "I'm sorry Raph, you know I've missed you so much."
• She said softly, making sure to display the most seductive voice ever.
• Scarlett felt a hard cringe in her head and quickly, she was on her way to the door when Raphael gently pressed his palm on hers, causing her to stay back."
• She felt his hands warm over her, something she would have quickly withdrawn from if not that Damian had instructed her to make him fall for her.
• Damian signaled her to stay back, displaying a reassuring smile, and immediately she forced a smile.
• She had to, no matter how hard it was to fake or hard it was to achieve.
• "I'm having a talk with my secretary, you should wait outside. "
• He sounded calm this time, expecting Lucy to revolt in her normal way, but instead, she withdrew her hands from him and turned to the door.
• "You're not even happy to see me!"
• She howled, letting out a loud hiss, while she made her way to the door, leaving Raphael and Scarlett in the office alone.
• "Alright, there are more files to go through. And-"
• His eyes caught the enchantment of her gaze and for the first time he got carried away by the beauty before him.
• Having come out from a lot, Raphael had vowed to stay away from women.
• His divorce from his ex wife had caused him a lot the past three years, and ever since then he avoided women.
• "Emm, I was saying I have-we have a two day business trip to San Jose next week and you're coming with me."
• He stammered after he got a hold of himself.
• "Okay sir-- arhh!"
• Scarlett exclaimed, intentionally falling the files to the floor.
• "Easy." Raphael cautioned, but she rolled her eyes in disappointment expecting he would have offered to help pick it up, and since he didn't, she came up with another plan.
• "I'll be in my office, Sir."
• She declared making her way to the door.
• "Urggh!"
• She screamed again, successfully twisting her ankle to fall, and sustaining injury in the process.
• "Oh goodness!"
• Raphael exclaimed and ran to hold her up. Taking the opportunity, she fell carelessly on him, causing his hands to clasp around her waist.
• She positioned her mouth to his and quickly, Damian took a snapshot from the camera Scarlett had earlier placed in Raphael's office.
• There was a door click, and quickly someone barged in.
• "What is going on here?"
