up.‖ Said Max, ―I want her one hundred 22

The Billionaire‘s Secret Desire percent ready for Monday. It‘s going to be busy.‖

―Right away Mr. King.‖ She said

Max reached up and squeezed her shoulder, ―Lily, when Nancy‘s done with you,I‘ll take you home. Just come and get me.‖

―Okay.‖ She said still nervous.

―Take good care of her Nancy.‖

―I will.‖ She said with a boy scout salute causing him to chuckle as he turned away.

After Max left, Nancy took her to a locked cupboard and retrieved a Personal Data device, a mobile phone, and a binder with Orientation printed on the front.For the next hour she went over Max‘s routine, then she took her to the security office to have a key card made with her photo on it.

Lily instantly liked Nancy.She answered her questions and made her feel welcome. By the time the morning was over, she was no longer as nervous.

―Now Max mentioned that you needed to be set up at the boutique.‖ Nancy mentioned as she lifted her phone and dialled a number, ―I‘ll get the car to take you over so you can get fitted.‖

She said as the phone rang on the other end.

―Max was right, you are efficient.‖ Lily had completely forgotten about that.

Nancy beamed at the compliment, ―he‘s wonderful to work for.‖ She momentarily spoke to someone on the other end of the phone while Lily waited patiently.She hung up, ―There, it‘s all done.‖

―Thank you Nancy.‖ She wondered about what Max had told her earlier about his personal assistants. ―Max told me he went through six PAs this year.‖

―He also doesn‘t sleep.‖ Nancy added with a wink. ―They couldn‘t keep up.‖

―Oh. So he wasn‘t kidding.‖

‗Don‘t worry honey, you‘ll be fine. I‘ll help you whenever you need it until you get rooted.‖ Nancy reassured, ―Besides you have an advantage. Luke would never let any harm come to his sister.‖

―Thanks.I would appreciate that.‖ She looked at her shyly, ―I hope that doesn‘t create any animosity among the staff.‖

―We‘re not going to tell them you‘re related to one of the bosses Lily.They don‘t need to know that business, and then they‘ll see that you got the job because you‘re good at it.‖She patted her hand, ―Not only that, Max despises gossip and so do I.‖

―I appreciate the praise; I hope I don‘t disappoint you.‖

―I know you won‘t.‖ What Nancy didn‘t tell her was that Max had already pulled her into his office last Friday and read her the riot act on how Lily was to be treated.There was no doubt that he was protective of Luke‘s sister and after seeing the woman everything made sense.She was stunning, but she also had a humility that wasn‘t common in women who looked like her.Actually she shouldn‘t have expected anything less. Luke was a very handsome man and there was no doubt his sister would be pretty.

She also knew there was going to be a lot of animosity toward her from the other secretaries in the outer office even if they didn‘t know about her relationship with Luke and Max.

They all had their eye on that position mostly because it entailed working next to Max.Nancy may have been middle aged and married, but Max was a dish and they all knew it.

Lily returned back to the office after two in the afternoon.

Oscar had insisted on taking her new wardrobe to their apartment while she finished up with Nancy. The more time she spent with her the more she liked her. She was so patient as she taught her how to use the PDA. And she told her so.

―Why don‘t you apply to be his PA Nancy?You‘re very 24

The Billionaire‘s Secret Desire efficient.‖ Lily asked.

Nancy chuckled, ―Because I like spending time with my husband.Max is a workaholic even though he pays well and I love the man like a son, I like having a life.‖

Lily‘s eyes widened, ―He warned me, but is it really that bad?‖

―You‘ll do fine dear. You‘re young and single.―

―How--?‖

―I hear talk—― she grinned, ―Actually, your brother told me.‖

Lily rolled her eyes, ―They‘re both so protective.‖

―I can see why,‖ She said looking at the beautiful younger woman as her cheeks pinked up at the compliment.It didn‘t escape Nancy that
