《His Personal Secretary | ✓》Chapter 24
Advertisement
It wasn't him. It wasn't Christian. It was someone I did not know. He was tall and quite handsome too. A head full of chocolate brown hair that was left alone and not styled with hair gel, something the other employees usually did. It was ruffled and it covered his forehead. He was dressed in a light pink dress shirt and black dress pants with black dress shoes. There was a name tag pinned on his shirt, but I couldn't see it clearly.
"Mr. E-evans," the security guard stuttered when he saw who it was. "W-what are you do-doing here?" he asked, releasing his grip on my hair at once. I rubbed my sore scalp and listened to their conversation.
This so called Mr. Evans reached his hand over toward the name tag pinned on the security uniform and read the name off of it aloud. "Mhm Mr. Benjamin Reed, it's nice to meet you. It's too bad that we met through a situation like this," he said with a small frown. "Don't bother showing up for work tomorrow cause you're fired."
Benjamin slumped onto the ground at Evan's words and grabbed onto his legs. "I-I'm sorry. Pl-please give me another chance, I on-only did this be-because some-someone told me to," he admitted.
"And who told you to?" Evans questioned.
"I... I... I can't say..."
"If you want to keep this job, you will tell me who told you to do this."
"Fine, fine. It-it was Mrs. Wright, the CEO's mother," he revealed nervously. "She instructed the security staff that if you ever stopped by, use any means of violence necessary."
Mr. Evans was quiet for a few minutes, his eyes gazing off somewhere in thought. "Apologize to this young lady right now," he ordered.

"I'm-I'm sorry Ms. Wilson. I had no other choice, they said I would get fired if I didn't follow orders," Benjamin apologized hastily.
"You can leave now," Evans dismissed him.
"Do I still have this job?" he asked hopefully.
"Yes, the job is still yours. Thank you for informing me with who was behind this but if I ever catch you treating Ms. Wilson disrespectfully in any way, you'll be out of here faster than you can say sorry," he warned.
Benjamin nodded his head before running away.
"Who are you Mr. Evans?" I inquired. "Why did you help me?"
He didn't answer me and instead, he knelt down beside me and checked if I was okay. When he was sure that I was fine, he helped me up from the ground. I dusted myself off and repeated my question.
"Who are you? And why did you help me?" I asked again, feeling slightly annoyed.
He grinned, sensing my annoyance but he still didn't answer my questions.
"Can you not hear me?" Now I was annoyed and a little angry. "Do you need hearing aids? Are you deaf??"
"Let's go over there first and then I'll answer your questions, Ms. Impatient." He lead me over to the couches and we sat down.
"Now answer me."
Mr. Evans cleared his throat and prepared to answer me. "Hi, I'm Aaron Evans, glad to be acquainted with you," he introduced himself brightly. "I'm the recently hired General Manager of the Customer Service department."
"Ohhh I see. And why did you help me?"
"I heard all the commotion and came to see what was wrong. I couldn't stand the way he was treating you. Just because he's a security guard, it does not make it okay for him to do that to you," he explained. "Are you alright? Did you get hurt in any way?"

"I'm fine." I tried to imagine how a bystander would think of what happened earlier and couldn't help but feel embarrassed about it. I must've looked like a crazy woman.
"You sure?" He examined me with his eyes and spotted something on my legs. "You got a cut right here, you liar."
Oh I did? I looked down and checked. He was right. There was a tiny cut on my knee and it was bleeding.
"It's no biggie."
"It is a biggie. You got hurt from one of our staff so I should take care of it."
"No no no, its really okay."
"No, it's not," he persisted, not backing down.
"Yes it really is."
We continued doing this back and forth for the next 10 minutes before he finally gave up.
"Man you're really stubborn," he complained. "Even more stubborn than me."
I smiled at him, accepting that as a compliment.
"So what's your name anyways?" he asked.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" I asked in amusement. "When you were talking to Benjamin earlier, you said my name."
He held both of his hands up and smiled goofily. "You caught me."
I slapped him playfully and laughed.
"Tell me Ms. Wilson, what's your first name?" he asked again, this time rewording the question.
I thought about how he didn't answer my questions right away and grinned evilly.
"I don't really like that look on your face."
I rubbed my hands together, enjoying the moment. I'll change the subject, just like he did. "What are you planning to do about what Benjamin said?" I couldn't believe that Christian's mother was behind everything that just happened. She terminated my contract and told the other employees to treat me like this.. wow this was just unbelievable.
"Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't have the authority to do anything about it. Even though Mrs. Wright doesn't work here, she is the CEO's mother. She probably has even more power than the CEO himself."
"Oh." I guess I shouldn't have expected much.
"Yeah I'm sorry about that. It's not within my ability."
"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault."
He smiled and changed the subject. "So will you tell me your first name?"
"Cali Wilson," I smiled. "Thanks for helping me out over there earlier."
"No problem, I'll be there to help you out whenever I can. Nice to meet you Cali." He stuck his hand out and we shook hands.
We were about to pull our hands apart when someone suddenly appeared and punched Aaron right on the jaw.
I screamed in surprise.

Beatrice Santello
An adult imagining of Beatrice Santello's life prior to the events of Night in the Woods. There are no explicit depictions of sex here, though there are obviously adult themes and situations involving it. I wasn't going to post it to Royalroad as I didn't think Fanfiction was okay here - but now I see it is and I am quite convinced it is the best work I've ever done yet, I've got to see what any fans of NitW think about it! The first chapter was originally written as a short vignette and wasn't intended to be continued into a full blown story. It was just intended to be moody and evocative. Even though anyone that has played Night in the Woods has a good idea how this must end, I hope it will still be worth the read. Also, since I've finished writing it, I'm going to post it as one big chapter dump all at once. Cover drawing by GreasyMojo and colored by me (with permission!). I don't think it should be too risque on it's own but I suppose I'll soon find out.

Evie Autumn, like almost every other nineteen year old was just your average, unassuming, everyday girl. She attended university, she had that one quirk that everyone thinks is weird (an obsession with Greek mythology, in case you were wondering) and she had to stop herself from repeatedly smacking her best friend daily for his naycare, partying ways. Basically, her life couldn't be anymore normal if she tried. But then her normal world is shattered when that same best friend is killed right before her very eyes, and a mysterious stranger approaches her and introduces himself as Hades, God of the Underworld. Hades offers Evie a deal; he'll let her best friend live if she agrees to return with him to the Underworld as his very own modern-day Persephone. Suddenly Evie's thrust into a world where gods are real and life after death is all too possible; and to top it all off, she makes a deal to live with the devil for six months in exchange for her best friend's life. Life couldn't get any less normal, right?HADES SERIES #1 [Ranked #28 in Teen Fiction on 20.05.16] [Hit 1 million on 18.10.17]

With the threat of not graduating, an unknown shared grief with the quarterback, and parents who reject the very person he is, life in his hometown wasn't very appealing for David. He was all set to run and leave everything behind, until he met twenty-four-year-old Army recruiter Jason Travis, whose casual intervention would change the course of David's life forever.
