AUDREY"Don't be nervous," he whispers in my ear. "Trust yourself, you'll do fine."Do I look that obvious? And how can he be so sure?We approach what seems to be his parents. Both of them are engaged in a lively conversation with a group of three more people. One of them clears his throat, drawing Mr. Anthony's attention, and Mrs. Sarah notices it, turning towards us.An expression of astonishment appears on her face as her eyebrows raise; she looks at me for a few seconds before diverting her eyes to her son. Mrs. Sarah is very beautiful, with her silky blond hair, tall and slender. She might have had some work done on her face, but that doesn't take away from the natural charm she still exudes.Mr. Anthony ends his conversation and turns towards us. His expression is very different from his wife's.Nervousness runs through my body. What if they don't believe our charade? What if I mess everything up? I think Daniel senses my unease again as he wraps his arm around my waist, pullin
AUDREYOn Monday, everything goes back to normal. After the Saturday night event ended, Daniel took me back to my apartment. Neither of us mentioned anything about the kiss or anything else; we just said goodbye, and I got out of his car.In such a short time, I'm already tired of this. I shouldn't have played along; now I have no way out of the predicament my dear boss got me into."Do you have everything ready?" he asks without preamble when he arrives at the conference room. I nod. "Perfect, we'll start in less than five minutes."He announces that and then leaves down the hallway towards the reception. What changed in him? He seems different, distant. Now it's all business with Crawford.The meeting ends before eleven, almost time for lunch. I head to the small cafeteria on that floor and leave the tray with empty coffee cups. As I'm about to leave the room, suddenly I feel a body pressed against my back, trapping me between the counter and preventing my escape."But what..." My w
AUDREYI grab my pen and notebook that are on my desk and grabbed my purse to get my small bottle of headache pills. My mind is still reeling at times from what happened the day before in that room, and then that scene takes me where I saw him with that blonde offered chatting very happily.He hissed between his teeth a curse when a more painful twinge hits my temple a little. I walk to the elevator when and open the bottle, and ingest two pills before entering the metal cubicle.They have sent for me to the design and photographer floor, I don't know why, but I must go and find out and I must take advantage now that Daniel is not in the office and there is not much pending work to be taken out.As I walk through the doors, I run into several models and other colleagues I've met before. I greet them and make my way to the reception area."Hi, I'm Audrey, the secretary…"I know who you are "the girl behind the counter cuts me off "Mr. Taylor is waiting for you in the photography area.
AUDREY"What is that? "I'm pointing."Well, a dress, miss..." the young woman in the dressing room replies."I already know that-the girl looks at me like I've gone crazy. "I won't wear it, so don't waste your time waiting. "I recriminate."But Miss Turner…I'm interrupting her."Don't say that to me either, call me Audrey, I'm also an employee of this company. "I point as I see in my hands the garment, she gave me; it looks more like a piece of fabric than a dress. "Can it be called a dress? "I ask with a gesture of disgust. I think they have more fabric than a prostitute's clothes."Yes, it's a new design, from one of the best designers in the country, "the girl smiles, she didn't notice my dislike for that garment. "The best of today.If you call this the best, I don't want to know what's the worst. He looked at her and forced a smile."Well, I'm not used to wearing this... "I look at it again while I look for a way to name that dress without offending the creator. I won't wear tha
AUDREY"Kiss, hug, show that you love each other. Oh, do all those things that couples give each other, they give each other a lot of love, Marlon raises his voice more.When will this end?"For the love of God woman" exclaims the photographer. "Hug your man, make it look like you love him and that you will not let anyone steal him from you.To have it stolen from me? Let them take it if they want so much, they'll do me a favor. But, of course, I won't shout it out loud.And why did I get upset a moment ago when that blonde insinuated that Daniel wanted her?What nonsense, I'm not interested in that, let him take it if he wants, in fact, I put a huge bow on him as a gift.Daniel's arm reaches up to me and wraps around my waist to draw me towards him, his hip collides against my waist. I stiffen when I feel his fingers digging into my bare skin and his breath goes through the strands of my hair until it reaches my neck area.For the love of God, why do I feel this feeling when I have i
DANIEL"As you said before, she's very different from the women I've met. It is... unique, and that makes her special."Can you hear yourself clearly?" astonished question.What was so weird about saying that someone is unique? Maybe it's because I'm not the kind of guy who says or does things like the ones I'm doing now.She may have changed a bit, but it's all part of the plan, so I can keep what I want and get something else, which is her. I want to take Audrey to bed, do mine only once.What's so strange about that? It's my womanizing nature. Of course, I can clearly accept that.*****The trip to Australia was exhausting, despite having traveled on the Crawford Company's private plane, I arrived exhausted.The heat of Australia greets me with a big wave of wind and a sun so bright that it burns. I am not much of a country walker, but I admit that I love coming to this place, in fact I had years that I did not do it and now at the request of that great woman who gives me lectures
AUDREYAfter he got out of the car, I was puzzled by the effect of emotion. I can't believe it, he touched me right there, not caring if we were alone or not, and what's even more confusing is that I allowed it.I had said I would continue later, but no, I can't keep allowing him to do this. Where is my dignity? My God, I've lost my mind; I let him touch me until I was almost on the verge of an orgasm.No, no more.Once I recover from that inappropriate act, I straighten my skirt and run my fingers through my hair. I managed to do it before the next door opened.To my surprise, it wasn't the driver who got out; it was Daniel, extending his hand towards me. I won't turn it down; I can't make a scene and get the attention of the people around us. I still don't know why we are in this place and why I have to accompany him.He mentioned something about traveling; I thought it would be to a nearby place, not to the other side of the world. What am I supposed to do here?I observe the place
AUDREY"Oh, there's my favorite guy," the woman exclaims, spreading her arms as she crosses the threshold. "Well, you finally came to visit this old lady," she points to herself and comes to our side.Daniel gets up from his seat and walks over to her to do the same, and they hug."I thought you were enjoying a vacation in Hawaii," he pulls away from her to tell her."Oh, you little demon," he playfully taps her shoulder, "You wanted to be alone with this beautiful woman," he looks at me briefly, "You didn't come for me, insolent, spoiled. It's my fault for spoiling you too much," her tone is playful, I can tell by her smile and that mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "Of course I came for you, why else would I come here?"he also smiles at her, takes her hands and kisses them on the back."I don't want to speculate on what other reason you might have come," the woman pretends to be offended.This couple seems to get along very well, maybe too well."Oh, Tabby, you and your ways," Danie
