THE ORIGINAL NOVEL WAS WRITTEN IN SPANISH, I APOLOGIZE FOR THE TRANSLATION. IF YOU WANT TO READ IT IN SPANISH LOOK FOR IT UNDER THE SAME PSEUDONYM AND BY NAME "EL SECRETO"

In case you're wondering if Christian is in the novel, is there, just won´t expected.

I sat on the bed as I slid my hands across my face. I put on my glasses and looked at the clock on the nightstand that ticking 11:20 PM. I can´t fall asleep, I had only been able to turn and turn in bed. I got up and left my room for the kitchen. Maybe a glass of hot tea will help me relax and calm down so I can fall asleep.

Everything was dark and quiet, and there was no sign of Kate anywhere. Apparently she already gone to bed. She always slept later than I did. At least somebody could sleep. I turned on the kitchen lights and filled the teapot with water. I put it on the fire and then opened the storeroom for tea and honey to sweeten it. I took a mug and put a tea bag with two teaspoons of honey on it. When the water boiled, I put the fire out and poured it into the mug. I headed for the living room and sat down in an armchair under one of the windows. I drew the curtains a little and waited for the tea to cool down and watched the rain fall down.

Winter was approaching, the rain was only a sign that it would soon begin to snow and lower temperatures a little more. I began to drink the tea sip by sip as I watched the rain beat on the glass. The tea was over and I decided to go back to my bed and try to fall asleep. I left the mug on the kitchen counter and went to my room after turning off the light. The clock was ticking 12:05 AM. I took off my glasses, put them on the table and curled up under the duvet.

This time I wouldn't think about work any more, that had only kept me awake. What could I think of to fall asleep? I said to myself as I closed my eyes. And the images of a familiar face came to my mind as he put the glasses on me. And thinking about the stranger I relaxed completely and fell asleep.

I woke up startled. The alarm clock rang insistently. I was completely sweaty and felt my body burning. It was no wonder after the dream I had just woken up from. My heart was pounding hard on my chest.

¡God! What a dream.

I got out of bed and headed for the bathroom to take a shower and try to get his face and caresses out of my mind. I went under the shower and closed my eyes. I could still feel his strong hands running slowly across my body, his warm lips sliding down my neck and his strong, muscular body pressing against mine.

The hot water couldn't calm the heat still emanating from my body. I shouldn't have listened to Kate. Now I couldn't forget his face no matter how hard I try. I got out of the shower, put on my glasses, washed my mouth and wrapped myself in a towel as I walked around the room, pulled the curtains away from the windows and continued on my way to the closet. Outside the clouds threatened to start raining early. I stood in front of the closet trying to decide what to wear. And I chose the first thing I saw. A gray skirt, little above the knee. I didn't like using them very much, but this one in particular, I didn't know why I liked it so much. For the top I chose a sky blue blouse and to combine some shoes not too high. I put on my makeup as usual, almost nothing, and I pulled my hair up in a braid, leaving a few strands of hair on my face. I left my room taking a grey coat and went to the kitchen for breakfast.

Kate left earlier than I did, and always had breakfast ready. She never let me do it.

I sat down at the bar for breakfast, toast with butter on and a glass of orange juice in front of me. I had a feeling in my stomach mouth that something would happen today, something important, I felt it. And I doubted it was because I knew the new boss. The truth was, meeting Mr. Chasting didn't really excite me so much.

I finished my breakfast and after cleaning things up, I took my car key and headed for the garage.

By the time I got to the office the fine rain was starting to fall so I parked in the underground garage. I rushed as fast as I could to the elevator considering the shoes I was wearing. This time the elevator was full of people, even though it emptied a floor before mine. The doors opened and I got out of the elevator, took off my coat and hung it on my arm.

—Good morning, Kate. —I greeted her with a smile as I passed by the reception.

—Good morning, someone apparently slept well last night. —she said with a smile as she gave me a kiss on the face.

—Sleep well? Because of you, I didn't sleep well. —I scolded her while she looked at me, pretending to be frightened.

—Because of me? And what I did.

—You told me to dream about the stranger who helped me. —I answered her with my arms folded.

—And what happened? — she asked intrigued.

—Well, I dreamt about him.

—But there's nothing wrong with that, unless... What did you dream about? — she asked curiously markedly on his face.

—I had an erotic dream about him. — I told her very quietly, still remembering what I had dreamed of.

—That's why you have that color on your cheeks today. —she said laughing very quietly. I knew she was making fun of me.

—I'd better go to my office, I think I'd better. —I told her as I continued on my way, laughing too.

When I got to the office I hung my coat on the back of my chair and turned on the computer. I opened the mail and there were a lot of e-mails. But one got my attention more, it was Grace's, first thing this morning.

From: Grace Grey

To: Anastasia Steele

Date: Tuesday, 20/10/2015 7:25 AM

Subject: Reunion.

Anastasia, as soon as you get there, I need you to call the entire floor staff to be in the conference room at 9:00 A.M. Mr. Chasting insisted he wants to meet the entire staff today. This is a top priority.

PS: I am very concerned that not everyone is as he wants them to be, and I mean everyone including the service staff.

Grace Grey, CEO of TecFall.

Wau, this guy really came for it, why he'd want to meet everybody today, maybe he wouldn't have time to do it later.

I decided to answer my mother so she wouldn't be worried.

From: Anastasia Steele

To: Grace Grey

Date: Tuesday, 20/10/2015 7:45 AM

Subject: Reunion.

Grace, don't worry, I'm already sending the mail to everyone so they'll be informed and on time.

It's gonna be all right.

Anastasia Steele Personal Assistant to Grace Grey

And I started sending the e-mails to everyone so that they would be on time in the meeting room. I also asked them to bring some snacks, water bottles and hot coffee. I didn't know how long the meeting would last. As soon as I finished sending the emails I headed towards the meeting room to make sure everything was clean and tidy.

The meeting room was huge, with a huge meeting table that could seat 40 people perfectly. It had huge panoramic windows covered by dense wine-red curtains. I drew the huge curtains and left the windows exposed as the rain outside fell incessantly. The chairs were the same color as the curtains, and I was putting each one of them correctly in place, even though they were already in place. Everything had to go perfectly.

I think that's all, there was room for all the staff working in this plant, including the cleaning staff. If I remember, we don't have 30 people on this floor.

Fifteen minutes later I returned to my desk and to my surprise I had a message from Kate.

From: Kate Kavanagh

To: Anastasia Steele

Date: Tuesday, 20/10/2015 8:05 AM

Subject: ?

Don't you think everything's a little weird?

Kate.

She had already written the mail a while ago, I settled down in my chair and answered her quickly.

From: Anastasia Steele

To: Kate Kavanagh

Date: Tuesday, 20/10/2015 8:20 AM

Subject: Weird!

I don't think the word is weird, but rather intriguing and eccentric is more close to the truth. Don't worry, everything's ready for the meeting now. In forty minutes the great mystery will be solved and we will finally meet Mr. Chasting once and for all.

Ana.

Time passed slowly as I looked at the clock, it was as if it was not walking. The more I looked at it, the slower I felt it was going. The meeting was still 15 minutes away. So I decided to make sure everything was well organized so that time would pass more quickly. I headed towards the meeting room.

There were already a few people there, waiting. The appetizers were on the small table at the back, and at each place on the table there was a bottle of water and a glass. Everything's perfect. I sat at my seat at the side of the head of the table. The only thing wrong with the position was that it was backwards to the door. When I decided I would sit on the other one to face the other, someone else sat there. —I thought it would be best if I just sat here then. — I said to myself as I sat down again.

—I see you're all set. —shit! Kate behind me made me jump.

—You scared me! —I said to her with my hand still on my chest while pushing her over his shoulder with the other hand.

My heart was pounding. I was very nervous about this meeting and Kate had made me even more nervous by scaring me.

—I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. —she said to me as she looked at me, squinting.

—It's not your fault, I'm nervous. —I answered her honestly.

—You, nervous. Why are you so nervous this time?

—There's something I haven't told you. — I told her as she hurriedly sat next to me that no one have ocupate yet.

—So drop it now. —she said to me as she made himself comfortable by turning to me.

—Grace went to dinner with Mr. Chasting the other night.

—And how do you know that?

—Because I made the reservation for her at the restaurant. —I lied, I couldn't tell her the truth.

—And what does it have to do with the fact that she had dinner with him?

—Well, Grace convinced him not to bring his own assistant to stay with me.

—Ah. So what's the problem?

—Well, apart from testing me to see if I'm as good as Grace made him think I was. What if when he meets me he decides to get rid of me without even testing me?

—And why would he do that?

—Come on, Kate, look at me. You know I don't have personal assistant stuff, I'm the opposite.

—I don't understand you, so far you've done it perfectly. If you weren't good, Grace would have fired you by now.

—Yes but... —I told her as I looked down at the table. —I feel like I won't fill up his expectations.

—I don't quite understand what you mean. —she said with narrow is eyes.

—Come on Kate, how many assistants do you know who wear glasses, and jeans instead of short-tight skirts, not to mention little makeup.

—You're wearing a skirt today. —she said smiling at me.

—I'm not kidding. — I said very serious.

—All right, maybe you're not the "prototype" of a personal assistant that everyone can imagine... —she said, gesturing in the air with his hands. —But if he only values you for your appearance rather than your skills in the job then he's an asshole.

—Do you think so?

—Of course, you'll see that when he meets you he won't want to get rid of you.

—I hope so.

Then everyone began to sit down hastily, apparently they were already approaching down the hall. I think this was the best position after all. I didn't want to sit in front of the panoramic windows facing the hallway and watch my mother and Mr. Chasting arrive, that would only increase my nervousness and anxiety.

Kate at my side turned back to see them before they came in, and then she came up to me and whispered in my ear.

—You better hold on to that chair because you're gonna fall down of it as soon as you meet Mr. Chasting. — she said to me as I stared at her, narrow my eyes.

—Don't talk nonsense, Kate. Why I'd have to hold on to the chair. —I replied very quietly.

—That's why. —she said pointing at the door as it opened.

—Good morning, everyone, thank you for being here on such short notice. I want you all to meet Mr. Chasting. —Grace said as she walked into the meeting room and stood at the head of the table.

He came in after she did, and as soon as I saw him, I froze. This couldn't be happening. It was impossible.
