Olivia nodded. She expected as much.
“You can’t walk into his office without permission. Trivial matters must be handled swiftly and without his involvement.
Not everything needs to go through him unless it’s a matter of great importance.”
Olivia resisted the urge to roll her eyes. But she couldn’t stop herself from asking, “So, would I have to seek permission before taking a vacuum cleaner to his office?”
“You don’t have to clean, Olivia,” Gai said, but there was a guilty expression on his face. “Well, you’d have to get his coffee, make sure his suit is ironed and make wake-up calls.”
Olivia snorted. Wake-up calls? “My duties should only center around a regular nine-to-five. I shouldn’t be involved in
Alexander’s daily life.”
“Well, Alpha has a habit of sleeping in.”
Gai was defending his Alpha. It was only natural, the man was fiercely loyal to Alexander. Still, Olivia couldn’t agree to this. It wasn’t in her job description.
“Gai, look. My job as a secretary centers around company matters alone. I have nothing to do with Alexander’s personal affairs. That’s his assistant’s job, not mine. You’re his Gamma,
Gai. It would make more sense if you handled that. It wouldn’t look good if a secretary is calling her boss at odd hours.””

Gai wanted to scream. In fact, his wolf howled inside of him.
That was a task he didn’t want to do. His Alpha was known to be a very grumpy morning person. He’d dealt with it for years. It was only right that he be spared for the remainder of his lifetime.
And so, he kept trying to convince Olivia to perform the wake- up calls. But for every argument he had, Olivia had a rebuttal.
He was grasping at thin threads. But he had one more trick up his sleeve. He started moving around the office, heading toward the doors. If Olivia didn’t have the time to protest, then he could just assume it was an agreement.
“We all work for Alpha Alexander, and it is important that we face these difficulties together.”
“That’s not…”
“So whoever has the time should make the wake-up calls!”
Before Olivia could even think to respond, Gai was running out of her office with the speed of a scared teenager.
“I’m not making the calls, Gai,” she called after him, but he just kept running. Olivia shook her head. This conversation wasn’t over. She would back him into a corner if she had to, but she would get her way.
With a soft sigh, Olivia shut her office door and returned to he desk. There was still much to be done. She began organizing her personal belongings. It wasn’t much, a few framed photos from her childhood, her notepad, and her favorite mug.
Then, Olivia saw to the matter of setting a password for her computer. It took all of three minutes for her to settle on:
Olivia’s#Desk.
Just as she finished setting up her company mail, she received a memo from Gai which contained her schedule for the day. She studied it for a short moment. There wasn’t much apart from the many things she had to do for Alexander. It was more of
Alexander’s schedule rather than hers.
The computer chimed again, signifying another mail from Gai. there was an attachment titled: Alpha Alexander’s Preference
Manual.
Olivia frowned, but opened the file to find a spreadsheet. At first, she wasn’t certain what she was looking at. Words like vanilla, strawberry stuck out to her. It was only when she studied further that she understood.
This was a detailed spreadsheet on all Alexander’s preferences for his coffee and tea. Olivia almost laughed. There was a step by step process on how to make the perfect beverage for him, including specific, unnegotiable requirements.
The shocker was not only the fact that his coffee had to be hand brewed, but the first cup was supposed to be handed to him at exactly 10:30 am, not a second later. When Olivia checked the time on her watch, she yelped. It was 10:32 already.
Olivia jumped out of her seat. It took her a moment to find the break room, but after retracing her steps from the tour with Gai, she found the large room in record time. She’d never hand- brewed coffee before, but somehow she figured it out. After adding two sugars and cream just like the notes said, she dashed out of there and made her way to his office.
For a split second, she almost pushed Alexander’s door open.
But Gai’s warning rang in her head, so she stopped herself and knocked once.
“Come in.”
With a calming breath, Olivia pushed the door open. She tried not to gasp at the sheer size of his office. It was three times the size of hers with designer furniture and seating. But she couldn’t spend so much time gawking.
Olivia made a beeline for his desk and dropped the coffee mug ceremoniously in front of him. Alexander didn’t look up from the files he was reading or say anything to acknowledge her presence. So, she took it as a cue to leave.
“Wait,” Alexander called just as she turned to leave.
She stopped moving and faced him, but Alexander didn’t use words. Instead, he just pointed at his left cheek. Olivia didn’t understand. Was he asking for a peck on the cheek? The spreadsheet didn’t say anything about that.
Olivia watched in horror as Alexander rose to his feet and walked over to her. Then, he leaned in and brushed her cheek with his thumb.
When he brought the finger down, she noticed a brown stain on his skin. Olivia wanted to kick herself.
“I’m just reminding you to do the right thing. Stop being stupid.”
Olivia felt her eyes begin to twitch. This man was going to send her to the psych ward one day. Alexander always seemed to overexaggerate every single thing. In fact, she was certain that he was only trying to get back at her for what had happened earlier.
The only thing she could do was to return to her office. But she’d barely sat down when Gai pushed her door open. “We have a meeting by 11:00.”
“But that’s in five minutes. What am I going to do there?”
“Well, since it’s your first day, just take notes for now. We’ll familiarize you with the process pretty soon!”
Olivia nodded. She grabbed her notepad and headed into the conference room, doing just as Gai had suggested when the meeting began. But with so many employees, and judging by the fact that Olivia had no idea what they were discussing, even taking notes proved to be a difficult task.
But after the meeting ended, when Olivia thought she could retreat to the privacy of her office, Alexander stopped her and
Gai.
“I need the both of you to accompany me to a luncheon,” he said, already moving, giving neither of them a choice.
Gai frowned as he followed his Alpha. “Is it the one with
Jonah?”
Alexander shook his head. “It’s with the real este mogul. What’s his name again?”
“Ben Wilde.”
“Exactly. We need to discuss the joint resort project. It was signed before I took office. I think I’d like to revise the contract
The men talked as they walked, but Olivia and her wolf, Yve, were sulking on the inside.
They all filed into the SUV, and soon enough they arrived at
