The Bad Duck was Appearance in Alex's eyes

During the trip, Alex wondered inwardly. What's wrong with this woman? she thought, and why would her mother have a secretary like this? N-not this fashionable? Alex really doesn't understand. Has my mother's taste changed to be able to like such a creature?

Alex stared fixedly at the figure of Ambrosia who was focusing on driving. Although from the passenger seat he was sitting in, he could only see the side of the secretary, but Alex still stared intently at Ambrosia.

Ambrosia secretly realizes that Alex is watching her. How could he not realize that the sharp gaze of the man sitting in the passenger seat behind him made him feel the cold piercing his nape. Even so, Ann chose to ignore it and stay focused on driving.

The sooner you get to the office, the better! So thought Ambrosia.

Ambrosia immediately drove Alex to his mother's room—Roxanne Levine, as soon as they arrived at Levine Enterprises' office.

"Aleexx, my son!" Roxy approached Alex with a sumringah as soon as she saw the presence of her favorite son in her study. "How are you doing, son?" roxy asked while giving a tight hug and kiss on Alex's forehead.

"I'll get you some tea and some snacks" Ambrosia told her boss.

"Thank you, Ann you're so kind," Roxy replied as she turned towards Ambrosia standing up.

Beyond Alex's expectations, he sees clearly that Ambrosia smiles first before returning a compliment from her mother.

"It's my job, Roxy!" ambrosia replied with a smile.

But the smile disappeared when the bead of Ambrosia's eyes, behind her thick glasses, accidentally met Alex's eyes. The girl's gaze suddenly returned sharply before she finally turned to leave the President Director's room.

Alex was surprised to see it. How come? squeak Alex's brain. How could his attitude be so different when he was talking to his mother and when he saw me? Ahhh, that woman is really two-faced. Alex grumbled in his heart.

"Sit, Son! How was your trip here?" roxy asked as she was already sitting side by side on the same sofa as her son.

"It was fine until I got off the plane and met the guy who picked me up at the airport. All of a sudden it's all so annoying" Alex grumbled frankly.

He no longer wants to delay the time to immediately complain his frustration over the attitude of Ambrosia—sang secretary mainstay— on his mother.

Roxanne frowned who still looked smooth even at her age of five. All because of the expensive body and facial care and routine he did of course.

"What's pissing you off, Lex?" Roxy seemed to not understand the source of her son's frustration.

"Who else if not your flagship secretary, ma'am. He's the one who's pissed me off" Alex replied honestly. "How could you possibly say that she's a beautiful woman?" ask Alex not to think.

"But in my eyes Ann is a beautiful girl, Lex. He is also smart and competent. What don't you like about her?" Roxy still doesn't understand.

"Everything. Everyone, Ma'am I don't like his appearance, his attitude, and. and., his sharp eyes look at me," Alex protested quickly.

"What's wrong with Ambrosia's gaze? She's a gentle girl," Defa Roxy.

"Soft what? From the beginning of my meeting with her, her gaze was never gentle on me, and again, how could you hire such a woman, she was not at all beautiful! She's like an ugly duckling among swans compared to the rest of the female staff at Levine enterprises." Alex spoke with a fiery voice.

Roxanne really didn't like to hear Alex just now. In his ears, Alex's speech sounded like a mockery to Ambrosia. Roxanne is about to protest Alex's way of talking about Ambrosia, when her secretary suddenly steps in after knocking twice as usual.

Ambrosia was seen appearing with a trolley filled with tea and some snacks. "Sorry to wait a long time" Ann said politely.

Alex and his mother gasped. They were silent awkwardly. The two only exchanged lyrics as Ambrosia moved the teacups from the top of the trolley to the table in front of her two bosses. The mother and son were both worried in case Ambrosia heard Alex's words just now. But if that was the case, why was Ann's facial expression so calm?

After moving the entire contents of the trolley he was carrying onto the table, Ambrosia regained her natural resignation to continue her work and left Roxanne and Alex inside there with their respective concerns.

"Alex Levine!" roxanne snaps at her son. "How dare you mock a nice girl like that! What if Ann heard that earlier and she was sick the day of what you said?" Roxy scolded Alex for her disrespectful comments.

Alex is a little sorry. He also realized that his words were outrageous. And he was quite alarmed if Ambrosia had heard his taunts earlier. How will he face that woman in the future? How would he apologize to that woman?

"But, he's annoying me, ma'am?" Alex tried to defend himself.

"Then? Is that why you have the right to mock him? Not very polite!" Roxy looked up at Alex.

Alex just looked down at his mother's words. His mother was right, though she was upset, though she did not accept Ambrosia's treatment of her.

Roxy softened her gaze again as she realized the look of regret on the handsome face of her only son. "Listen, Lex! I asked you to get along with Ambrosia. Because other than you and your late father, that girl is one of my favorite people on this earth" Roxy said.

Alex snorted loudly, but finally replied, "I'll try, Mom!"

"Well, I believe you! So for the next time, I'm going to trust Ann to be your tutor on a mission to learn to lead the company" Roxanne said firmly.

"Whataa?" alex was surprised.

At the President Director's secretary's desk, two of Ambrosia's assistants were preoccupied with admiring the handsome, dashing figure of Levine Enterprises' crown prince.

"This is my first time seeing such a handsome and sexy man! The most handsome man I've ever met in my entire life" muttered Elsa who was sitting on Ambrosia's right side.

"Mr Alex Levine is the visual definition of the man of every woman's dreams. He's almost perfect" said Belle, who sat on the left side of Ambrosia.

While Ambrosia who was sitting right in the middle of the two of them could only shake her head in a careless manner. "You guys, how can you just think of good looks. You may be fooled later" Ann sighed softly.

"Ohh, come on, Ann! You're not pounding at all in a radius of less than two meters with a creature as handsome as Alex Levine?" ask Belle curiously.

"Yes, Ann, tell us quickly! How did you feel when you first saw her?" Elsa added.

Ambrosia's typing fingers suddenly floated on top of her computer keyboard after hearing questions from two of her assistants. But without intending to stop her activities, Ambrosia then turned her head in turn towards Elsa and Belle while replying,

"NO! I wasn't pounding close to the man, and my feelings were mediocre the first time I saw him. You satisfied? Now go back to work or I'll add your duties to today" Ambrosia threatened both.

Instantly the two assistants refocused on their computer screens to continue their tasks for fear of the threat of Ambrosia who never messed around.

And when Ambrosia was already feeling regained her composure to work, suddenly the intercom before her rang, saying,

"Ann, I need you right away. Come here!" call Roxy via the intercom.

"Well, Mam," Ambrosia replied quickly.

Ambrosia immediately stood up and entered the boss' room quickly. "Can I help you, Roxy?" ambrosia asked as soon as she faced her boss in a professional manner.

Ambrosia did not look at Alex Levine who was still sitting on the living room couch in his boss' office, he just focused on Roxanne who was leaning on the outside edge of his desk.

Beyond Ambrosia's expectations, it turns out that her big boss—Roxanne, gave her the task of being Alex's mentor and companion for one month of her probation to become the company's leader.

"Because Alex only got a month off from her modelling agency, so I'm asking you to accompany her to learn to be the boss of this company" Roxanne firmly ordered.

Ambrosia seemed to be holding back with all her anguished expression, "Just one month, Roxy?" ask Ann.

"Sadly so, dear! After that, regardless of the result, Alex still has to return to California to complete his employment contract which is still one and a half months away" Roxy explained.

"Alright, I understand," Ambrosia replied in the end.

"Good! I know I can always count on you, my dear," Roxy said, patting Ambrosia on the shoulder.

Ambrosia was always happy when Roxy praised her. Reminds him of the praise of his late mother herself for his accomplishments first. Therefore, Ambrosia automatically smiled gently at Roxanne.

Again Alex looked at that smile with astonishment. But Alex was also surprised that it turned out, the cold secretary was actually able to review a smile as soft as it was on his face that always looked stiff in Alex's eyes.

"Then, now please take Alex to the room she's going to be in for a month, Ann," Roxy said.

"Well," Ambrosia replied straightforwardly.

"Alex baby! Look at the room I prepared for you. Tell me what to change and what not to Ambrosia, so she will take care of everything. After that we will go home together. I'm gonna go home fast, and cook you lunch at home, how about it?" roxy asked expectantly to her son.

"Alright, Mom. Whatever you want," replied Alex then stood up from the couch and walked after Ann who was ready to open the door for her.
