Chapter 7

|| IRIS's POV ||

The sound of his raw voice snapped me back to reality. I was so horrified by his presence that I almost slipped the camera out of my hands. Thankfully, I managed to hide it in my waist at a remarkable speed.

As soon as I turned, my cheeks turned warm from the sight. Mr.President was standing with a bare chest. His well furnished muscles were now dripping with waterdrops. It seemed like he went to the pool for a late night swimming.

I stumbled over my words, playing with the edge of my clothes,

" I...I...I came to see if you need anything. After all, I am your secretary."

He flashed me a glare before examining the place. Once he found it okay, he began to speak, walking into the room lazily,

" You don't have to. I have plenty of people to watch over me here."

I nodded in understanding but my heart was still thumping wild. I was so close to getting caught. Then I would have been kicked out of the organization as well for failing the mission. After clearing my throat, I started to speak again, hoping to make a comfortable atmosphere between us,

" It's my duty, Sir. I hope, you don't mind me finding you."

He rolled over the couch with a snort. Even though I was trying to be professional, my eyes were distracted from his taut muscles. He could be a film star without any debate. He replied, keeping his gaze on me,

" I don't mind as long as you don't cross my boundary. I prefer to see you here when I am here. I don't give access to the people for entering my room. Anyways, I have a special task for you, Iris. Consider it as your first task of being my assistant."

Relief washed over me after he changed the topic. I thought that he was going to interrogate me about my arrival in his room. Walking briskly to the mini bar, I poured wine for us, allowing him to talk,

" Anything, Sir. I will try my best!"

He started speaking as I offered him the wine, visibly shaking under his hot eyes,

" There is a reporter who keeps writing about my sexual preference. He keeps making posts that I am gay. I have failed to stop him or convince him. I want you to put it inside his head that I am not a gay and stop making rumours."

I pressed my lips together to not burst out into laughter. Anybody could suspect him since he always avoided contact with women. But winning his trust was more important than anything else. I replied with a sly smirk, mentally planning to kick off the reporter,

" I would like to give it a try, Sir. Allow me to prove myself."

Morning News Office

" So..Miss..."

He groaned then looked up at me sharply once. It was Alex, the editor of the Morning News who had been writing about Xavier Gray's personal life too much these days. After he passed his order to me last night, I had been reading Alex's articles for the whole night. It turned out to be that he hated Mr.President to death. If he appeared in a gathering without any woman,Alex would be releasing an article about how Xavier Gray had kept his sexual orientation hidden. As much as I didn't want to meddle in this affair, Alex's articles got on my nerves. He was hungry to grab attention.

I added, giving him a cocky smile,

" Miss Young!"

Alex pushed his glasses down. Secretly I adjusted the speaker which had been lying between the bottoms of my shirt. Mr.President wanted to be updated in each second. Thus, I carried this inside me and let him hear the whole conversation.

Alex spoke, wearing a knowing smirk,

" You are here for the president. He has tried all the methods already. Apparently nothing worked. I wouldn't stop telling the public how he is behind the mask. What makes you think that you would be able to convince me?"

Jerk as I expected!

I replied calmly, crossing my legs confidently,

" I am not here to convince you, Mr.Alex.Those things which aren't true, you aren't allowed to write that legally. You say that Mr.President can't interact with women. But look at me. I work by his side perfectly. I am the right example, isn't it ?"

Alex gave his witty smile as he spoke, pushing his glasses down a little,

" You are just his secretary. How do you know about him so much? Probably you don't even go near him. Your existence doesn't prove anything, lady. Go back!"

I squeezed my fists tight. I couldn't be failing at my first task. After taking a deep breath, I began to speak again,

" What should I do to make you believe that Mr.President isn't a gay?"

Alex's lips pulled into a malicious grin. I had a bad feeling about his next words that would be coming out of his mouth. He replied, leaning on the desk a little,

" Maybe..a night with you..is enough to bribe me. You are hot. I like your badass attitude."

I stared at his audacity speechlessly. I swear if I wasn't with the president, I would have blown his head out already. Before I could give him an answer, I heard a click on my speaker. Mr.president hung up his phone just like that. I was flabbergasted by his sudden change of attitude even though we promised to keep in touch the whole time.

Was he embarrassed of me?

Just when I was thinking about a hard slap to Alex, the door of Alex's office burst open immediately. My eyes went wide to see the person standing there. It was Mr.President himself without any bodyguards around. The whole office raced behind him crazily as he marched inside the office before grabbing me up by my arms.

" Are you done with your negotiation?"
