The driver responded unfolding his seat belts and intending to get down,

"I have no idea, Mr President. Please be seated. I'm calling out the security guards to watch over the whole area."

After providing us a reasonable reply, he got down from the car leaving two of us alone as I tried my best to be invisible. For some unknown reason, his presence was making my heart fluttered that was the hidden truth buried in my heart.

As the grieve silence engulfed the air of car, I could vaguely sense his curious eyes on me while I shifted in my spot awkwardly.

Soon after, a presidential guard came across the window as he gave two light knocks over the glass mirror. He pulled down the mirror using the switch swiftly as he gave a calm glance to continue and the guard explained briefly keeping his tone polite,

"Sir, you should make an appearance now. Today is your birthday. So the young citizens have come here to wish you."

His face scrunched up in annoyance as he rubbed the space between his temples gently. I was confused and stunned at the same time as I saw his reluctance to made an appearance now. But still he climbed down before commanding me briefly,

"Miss Young, follow me around."

I quickly got off from the car before reaching behind him as he began to walk near the crowd tiptoeing on his black boots profoundly.As soon as we reached near the crowd, my eyes went wide in shocked. A bunch of teenage girls were holding banners written in bold italic letter lovingly,

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MR.PRESIDENT" - Banner 1

"LOVE YOU, MR.PRESIDENT" -Banner 2

"MARRY ME, MR. PRESIDENT" - Banner 3

As soon as they spotted his domineering figure, the crowd brust into uproar as I heard them screaming like maniac. Some girls almost started sobbing in astonishment whereas the other kept waving their hands vigorously wishing to receive his slight attention.

Holy Shit!

Even any celebrity has less fan base than him!

The girls started cheering and giggling shyly as I shook my head helplessly. Despite having so much admirers around him, Mr President still held cold and nonchalant expression as he stood still emitting his kingly aura that could undoubtedly represent him as a nation god. His oceanic eyes like falcon swiped across the crowd as the corner of his lips curled up a little mysteriously.

He only waved his hands twice staying in a safe distance from the crazy girls and once again the girls screamed like hell as if he threw a flying kiss not a wave.

He didn't waste much time there probably the reason of his safety as the security guards started making our path inside the crowd forming a human barrier. Suddenly he paused before looking behind me and gestured me to stay close to him.

I nodded before stepping near him as our body created a tiny gap between us and the guards guided us in. While passing through the crowd in both sides, I glanced at their flashed face curiously and surprisingly received their harsh glares on me as if they had seen a jinx inside me. Most of the girls were whispering among each others and was scanning my outfit from head to toe that made me really uncomfortable.

I jolted in discomfort before reaching down instinctively to straighten up my skirt. But I could surely tell that they didn't feel happy watching me accompanying the president honestly.

Next moment, my anticipation turned true as I heard their random gossips vaguely,

"

Hey, who is this girl with president?"

"Didn't he once say that he didn't like to be around woman?"

"All are employees are male even he only had one female secretary few years ago. But she was dismissed a week later."

"Look at her appearance. She seems like a seductress. She must have come to seduce our president."

"Hussh! Don't talk so loud. If any guards hear us, we will be doomed. Didn't President warn us once that he didn't like interference in his private life?"

My face turned green in humiliation as their curses slowly echoed in my ears making me feel disregarded. I hung my head down and walked behind him briskly as we finally entered the presidential house shoving away the crowd that was still screaming in my heads out.

I breathed a sigh of relief as I followed him into the elevator. As the elevator started lifting up, I stood at a corner keeping a safe distance from this unreasonable human being. Suddenly his bule eyes shifted behind my awkward figure as his lips quirked up asking me mockingly,

"Are you afraid of the crowd, Miss Young?"

I jolted up a little before shaking my head denying as I saw him smirking. My mind somehow stopped working at the sight of his smirking lips thus I kept staring back at his face.

But the man was cunning more than a fox as he averted his attention from me nonchalantly. I decided to keep my lips sealed and reached at the 15th floor soon after.

As soon as his silhouette came out, two of his bodyguards immediately accompanied us towards the way of his office room. One of the guard with blade informed on our way folding his palms ahead respectively,

"Sir, Mr.Jackson is waiting for you in the guest room. Would you like to meet him now or later?"

He halted in his track before asking back casually,

"How long he has been waiting for?"

The other guard replied briefly,

"Two hours. He came here before sunrise."

I saw him smirking devilishly before turning his way commanding,

"Let's meet him, then. "

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the opposite direction of us whereas leaving with no words or orders.

What will I do now?

What should I do? Should I follow him or go back to my office?

As I contemplated in my thoughts, I heard a familiar voice from back,

"Miss Young?"

I turned around and saw Mr.Scott standing still in a navy blue suit appearing refreshed as usual. I smiled widely as if I had found my life saviour while replying,

"Good Morning, Mr.Scott. Would you mind to instruct me that where should I go?"

Mr.Scott replied waving his hand towards the office of Mr President,

"Your desk is inside President's office, Miss Young. You have to take care of him for 24 hours probably. So It's better to stay nearby him."

My face sank as I tried to not roll my eyes.

Seriously Jeez! I have to tolerate the narcissistic man for so long!

Giving it a second thought, I suddenly laughed inwardly. Well, this could smooth my mission after spending more and more time by his side.

I nodded my head affirmatively before making my way towards his office. After pulling out the door, I discovered my desk far away from his one with a laptop, sticky notebooks, charger and some other essentia necessaries that would be necessary in my daily routine work.

After plopping down in my office chair, I yawned loudly as a satisfied smile tugged in my lips.

This was the first time that I have joined a job with my academic abilities!

Quickly I logged in the computer and started checking through everything as I preferred set up the functions according to my preference. After an unknown amount of time, I looked up at the doorway still not seeing any glimpse of Mr President and found a little weird.

Was he having any meeting?

Thus I got up from the chair boringly and started observing the whole office deeply. It had huge spacious more like an apartment's room as I started roaming around scanning every little things around the

corner.

Soon after, my eyes caught the sight of a little door where I saw the bold letter sign "DO NOT ENTER". My mind instantly became detective as my feet involuntary reached near the forbidden door.

The room was situated beside the lounge hiding at a corner with little door. But the surprising part was that perhaps no one would be able to replace it until he or she observes the surrounding deeply. Without having any conscious of my surrounding, I touched the doorlock intending to open it but just then....

My hand froze as a hard grip grabbed my hand tightly. I suddenly came back to sense as a horrific expression flashed across my face. Looking up nervously, his blue eyes were burning like lava on me as I gulped down my own saliva fearfully.

Before his curse could come out, I apologised quickly appearing pitiful,

"I..I'm sorry, Mr President. I was just being curious."

I saw his eyes melting a little before placing his left arm leaning against the hard wall lazily as his unreadable face leaned towards me making me squirm in my spot like a caged kitten.

My breathe hitched at the short distance between us as I heard his majestic voice like a king of hell,

"Curiosity kills the cat, Miss Young.

Be careful. Do not enter where you shouldn't and do not step in where you shouldn't. A kitten can't escape from a demon's trap. Watch your way before you step in. Who knows, you might never get out of the hell."

I listened to his deep meaningful words quietly as I felt blank headed for a moment. But I kept my face stern unfazed about his indirect warnings before giving him a reply that suddenly popped out from my head,

"But the useless rat helped the lion to escape from the trap, wasn't it President?"

He fell in silence as his falcon gaze pierced through my soul silently... ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
