THE BILLIONAIRE SECRETARY - Episode 42
JAMES POV
“Hello, James. You’re here to see Miss Amy
right?” The maid asked me as I took my seat on
the sofa.
“Yeah, Nancy.” Nancy has been working for the
Medina family for over ten years now. She is a
very sturdy and lanky lady in her mid fifties.
“All right. Let me inform her. She’d be with you
shortly.” Nancy told me as she climbed the
stairs in the Medina mansion.
“Please, tell her to hurry up.” I told her and she
nodded as she made her way to Amy’s room.
I had planned a picnic for the both of us at
Beverly Park and I’m certain she would love it.
Amy is not a typical American girl, she’s
different and likes the things that most girls
don’t.
I looked around the sitting room that I have
grown fond of. Amy’ father- Mr Clark Medina is
a businessman and have done some projects
alongside my father. My mum and Amy’s mum
have been besties since forever. As a result,
Amy and I spent a lot of time together.
II looked around the sitting room. The walls are
adorned with beautiful artwork and expensive
tapestries, with a few large windows letting in
natural light. The room is spacious and well-lit,
with several comfortable couches and chairs
scattered around.
An elegant crystal chandelier hangs from the
ceiling, illuminating the room with its soft glow.
At the center of the room is a large staircase
that leads to the bedrooms upstairs.
The staircase is made of a glossy, dark wood
with ornately carved railings, and the steps are
lined with plush carpeting. A grand piano sits in
the corner near the staircase, and a grand
fireplace is located on the opposite side of the
room. The room is filled with a sense of luxury
and opulence. Typical Medina family.
“Hey Mister!” I looked up and saw Amy walking
down the stairs. Amy has a light honey coloured
complexion with a glowing complexion that
seemed to radiate with every step she took.
Her long brown hair cascaded down her back,
with soft curls at the ends. Her eyes were a deep
shade of brown and her lips were full and
naturally rosy.
She was wearing a white tank top and a
denim skirt with a high waistline, paired with a
pair of brown cowboy boots. Her accessories
were minimal but still striking – a thin gold chain
around her neck, a pair of thin gold hoop
earrings and a few thin bangle bracelets on her
wrists.
As she descended the stairs, she had a graceful
and confident air about her. Her every step was
calculated and deliberate as she made her way
down the stairs. She moved with a certain grace
and ease and she had a small smile on her
face.
Amy is full of energy and enthusiasm, ready
to take on wh@??ver was thrown her way. She
had a certain sparkle that seemed to come alive
as she stepped down.
“Hey, you!” I said as we hugged briefly.
“So Maxwell, what do you have for me today.
Where are we going?” She asked me.
“It’s a surprise ma’am plus it won’t be a
surprise if I told you.”
“So I’m supposed to follow you blindly to
wherever you take me?” She added coyly.
I laughed and nodded my head.
“Exactly. Since You trust me that much, so
yeah.”
“Urrrghh. You’re so full of yourself Maxwell.
Let’s take my car.” She said as we walked
away.
We walked to the mansion garage which was
wide and big enough to be an entire mansion on
its own. Not that I was complaining, my parents
are billionaires also.
Amy threw the keys to me immediately we got
to her car and I missed so it landed on my head.
She laughed and joked about it as she sat in the
passenger seat.
“Softie.” She said while putting on her seat belt.
“Hey! I work out twice a day. I’m not soft.” I
retorted as I placed the key on the ignition hole.
“Oh yeah? Then why are you single?”
“That was a pretty lame comeback, Medina.”
She laughed. Apparently, she found that
amusing.
The drive to Beverly Park was uneventful and
we got there in thirty minutes.
The Park is an oasis of green space in an
otherwise urban landscape and a popular
destination for both locals and visitors alike.
Beverly Park also features a large playground
for children. This playground is made up of
several slides, swings, and climbing structures
for kids of all ages to enjoy. The playground is
also surrounded by a number of picnic tables,
benches, and shade trees, making it a great spot
for the surprise picnic I had planned for Amy.
“Beverly Park?” Amy asked rhetorically as we
got down from the car.
“Patience, Medina. Patience. “ I told her.
“This is the part where I blindfold you because
like I have said for the umpteenth time, it’s a
surprise.” I added.
“Wh@??ver, Maxwell. Just be careful and don’t
let me fall or else you would regret it.” She cried.
“Yeah. Yeah. Noted.” I walked to her and
picked the black blindfolds from my pocket and
tied her eyes.
“No peeking Medina. “ I could see her grin.
“All right, so take baby steps. Right.. Left.. Left…
there’s a turn on your right…no your Left.. no no.
. your other left, my bad.’ I directed as I held her
hand.
She kicked a stone and I chuckled.
“I’m gonna ki|| you, Maxwell!” she yelled.
“Calm your biscuits. Almost there.
Three more steps. One, two, and yeah. We’re
here. You can open your eyes now.”
AMY’S POV
I quickly loosed the blindfolds from my eyes
and I was stunned. There was a large blanket
laid out in the grass, surrounded by tall trees
that provided the perfect amount of shade.
There was a picnic basket, which was filled with
all my favourite snacks and treats. There were
fresh fruits, cheese and crackers, hummus,
olives, and a variety of sandwiches.
He also had brought a bottle of wine and two
glasses.
He arranged small bouquets of wildflowers
around the blanket, and hung up string lights
between the trees. He had even brought a
portable Bluetooth speaker so that we could
both listen to music.
I was amazed by the scene James had created.
It was thoughtful and dare I say it, very
romantic.
“To becoming an adult.” James said as he
offered me a glass of white wine.
“James. This is just too much.” I said.
“I know how much you love the minimalistic
things. So, happy birthday to you best friend.
You’re an amazing person and the best friend a
guy could ever have. Don’t blush yet. You’re so
d@mn annoying. Remember when I broke my
tooth when I was seven, you were so small and
little and even with your statue, you continued
to tease me about it and you even had the
audacity to say, I looked like a monster when I
got my braces on.”
I laughed.
“But then, when my class mates made fun of
my tooth, you literally kicked their asses. You
have always been there for me and I appreciate
all the moments we have both spent together.
Happy birthday Amy Medina. Continue being
the badass that you are.” He continued.
“Come here. You got me all emotional.” We
hugged for ages and I could feel tears dropping
from my face.
“I love you Maxwell. You’re the second best
person on this earth after me of course.” I
chuckled.
“How did I forget to add that you’re really
annoying?” He said and I hit his chest.
“It’s how you said all these sweet and romantic
nonsense to an annoying person. Just face it.
I’m the best person you have ever met in your
entire life and without me, you would be dead
by now. Hopeless infact.” I said coyly.
“Don’t push it Medina, don’t push it. I don’t
want to change my mind.” James said and
tickled me. I am a very ticklish person and so I
let out a scream. James knew me in and out.
“Okay.. please…James….” I said in between
laughs.
I was rolling on the grass at this point.
“Beg me.” He said with a huge grin on his face.
“I’m so…rrryyyy… please… let me go…” James
continued tickling me and at this point he was
on top of me while I lay flat on my back.
“Say I am the best person in this world.”
“You’re …. the best…. person …in this …wor…ld..
” I shouted laughing hysterically.
We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying
each other’s company, eating delicious food,
and dancing to our favourite songs: and by our
favourite songs, I meant my favourite songs. It
was the perfect picnic, and it was all because of
James’s thoughtfulness and effort. I was truly
touched, and it was a moment that I would
never forget.
