I became Derrick's most valued "personal secretary" quickly and, aside from his wife, the person closest to him, even closer than his wife.
After all, it was excited for men to cheat on their wives.
As the year went by, he totally trusted me. I accompanied him everywhere, such as meetings, client visits, business trips, and so on, though in public, I was always just the secretary sitting in the corner, taking notes.
We were very cautious in the company, which explained why there had been no rumors about him over the years.
To everyone, he was a good husband and father. Even though he was busy, he always remembered to return home on his wife and children's birthdays, bringing birthday gifts for them.
Well, those gifts were carefully selected and decorated by me for him to take home.
"Camilla, it's just business. Do you really need to take it so seriously? Don't you think it's too much?" a colleague who had followed me for three years asked with confusion.
I smiled seductively, "Too much? Well, after all, Karina paid us so generously."
But there were no hints of smile in my eyes. I was calculating that it was about time.
