View MoreI turned my head to his door when I noticed it opened, a loud groan followed as Dave came out of Mason’s office.“fucking idiot” Dave muttered to himself as he walked to the elevator, he paused in his steps and turned to me. He looked like he wanted to tell me something but didn’t know how to say it. After silently contemplating whether to talk or not, he turned his back and entered into the elevator.I wonder what that was about. That’s the second weird look I have gotten since the incident this afternoon. Well, the first was more of a spiteful look. I understood the look once she gave it to me. You wouldn’t like to see the person who ruined your chance of getting laid.For some reason this is funny to me, here I was stressing about the little kiss, the gift, smiling sheepishly as I bought him his chamomile tea, building fantasies in my head. He was here enjoying the time of his life with his ex-wife. You can imagine the shock I had when I realized that the lady stroking him was his
“ Get off me!” He pushed Beatrice away when he noticed Mia’s presence. Beatrice was angered by his actions and wanted to get aggressive with him, but she stopped when she noticed he was looking at someone.“Why are you standing there ?” he said as fixed his trousers and stood up to arrange his clothes, “drop it on my table and leave.”It took a moment for Mia to realize that he was talking to her. She was still confused by what she saw, she placed the chamomile tea and the bread on his desk and turned her back to leave. She could feel the angry stare of the lady sitting on the black couch. She wanted to look at the lady’s face, but with the atmosphere in the room, she didn’t think that was the right thing to do.“What is this?” She turned towards her boss and noticed he was pointing towards the bag of bread on his table.“garlic bread. I noticed from the list Mrs. Maria sent, that you prefer to take your chamomile tea with garlic bread so bought some from the store." She hoped she had
*Phone rings*“Hello,” Mason said as he put the phone to his ear. “ hello brother” “get straight to the point.” “I am volunteering my services for the upcoming charity event,”“why?”“ Because I am a humanitarian and I love people”He chuckled, “That doesn’t sound convincing enough”“ok, I'm trying to get on Dad’s good side, He’s really serious about this marriage thing.”“Getting married is not a bad idea, you’ll have someone who will love you, protect you, and provide for your exuberant lifestyle.”“I am not ready for marriage. I want to marry for love.”“Marrying for love is exaggerated,”“No, it is not, because yours failed doesn’t mean mine is going to be the same.” Mason was silent for some while, he knew Jade was right. Just because he had it bad, doesn’t mean he let his sister go into an arranged marriage.“Hello, Mason?”“I will be putting you and Mia in charge of the event planning, Mia will be reporting to me and I will be watching you. Since it is voluntary work, I won’
“Bring the documents to my office,” Mason said through the intercom.Mia could feel her anxiety getting the best of her, although she had been planning for this day, she never thought she would be this anxious. She adjusted her skirt, picked up the documents, and walked towards his door. At the front of his door, she said a little prayer and walked inwhat’s the worst that could happen“Good morning sir,” she said as she entered his office, she dropped the documents on his desk and waited for him to give orders. She stood there watching his every move with her heart in her throat.Mason picked a file from the documents on his table and scanned through it, as much as he tried to focus. He knew there was an elephant in the room, that they needed to address but he was not interested in facing that elephant now. “Mr. Adiel did not agree to the terms of the agreement, He said the agreement does not favor him since he is going to be on the same floor with Goya ice cream and he feels insu
“Hey, Mr. Nelson from the Finance department said I should give this to you. These are the files for last month's tax audit.”“Ok.” I took the document and placed it where the other documents sent to Mr. Mason were kept and went back to writing reports for the last meetings I attended. Mason has been away on a work trip for two weeks. I got an email from him the day after the dinner stating that he was traveling to Australia for an important meeting and that I should resume work at the office the following week. He has been communicating with me via email and he hasn't said anything about the kiss, only work-related stuff. I sort of feel relieved that he doesn't want to talk about it. I'm not ready to talk about what happened that night and it's good we are on the same page.It was a mistake, nothing more.Resuming work at the office has been so stressful. It's different from when I worked as Mason’s stay at home secretary. Now I have to attend meetings on his behalf, summarise the
The cold hit me as I stepped outside, I forgot to take my coat along with me and the cold night breeze was penetrating my skin. I wanted to stay in the house with Jade, but I have a new job and I have to do this if I want to keep my other job. I followed the direction Jade gave to me, it was a bit confusing but I found my way. I sighted the gate to the garden and quickened my steps. Make sure he's okay and leave. As I stepped into the garden I saw Mason sitting on a bench in the garden, his head was down, so he did not notice me walking towards him. “Sir” he raised his head in my direction “How did you find me?” “Jade said I will find you here” “What do you want?” “You left the room angry, I wanted to check on you before I leave.” He seemed more angry than his usual self, maybe his dad went too far bringing up his marriage. “Do you mind if I join you?” He didn't say anything, his attention was more on the bottle of liquor in his hands. I took his silence as an invitation to
“Do you want a red lipstick or a nude lipstick?”“Nude” “Red it is” Oliva made final touches to my makeup, “Zoe, your phone is ringing”I reached for my phone to check the caller's ID “ It's Thomas, he is outside”. I hurriedly wore my shoes, took my purse and coat, and left the house.Thomas was standing beside the car when I got outside, “You look beautiful Miss Mia.”“Thank you, Thomas.”The drive to the house made me nauseous and I felt uneasy about the dinner. The scenery of my first time at my boss's house kept playing in my head, the thought of it sent chills down my spine, I just hope I do not do something stupid today. We finally arrived at Gerald's house and I must say, they have impeccable taste when it comes to houses.I took in a deep breath as I pressed the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door. It's just dinner Mia, just dinner Breaking my thoughts the door swung open, revealing Jade, “Mia!” She pulled me in for a hug. “You look so beautiful, I knew the
MASON’S POV“Hey Mason”My body stifled as I recognized the voice, why do I have to run into this bitch today. I turned to see the face that had caused me so much pain, “You don't seem happy to see me”“Why would I be happy to see the whore, I mistook for a wife?”“Ouch! that stings” I could see the smirk on her face, she was relishing her moment of glory.“Meet me at the car, Jade” I said as I got up to leave the restaurant but she kept blocking my path, she definitely knew how to get on my nerves, and for the first time in my life, the thought of hitting a woman crossed my mind.“Beatrice get out” I know she wants the attention, but I'm not going to be her source of entertainment. “You know why I’m here Mason”“And you think this will make me give it to you”“It's mine Mason”I couldn't stand her presence any longer, so I pushed her out of the way and left the restaurant.“What does she want?” Jade said as she and Mia got into the car. “I don't know”“Then what does she mean by it
MASON’S POVRing Ring“Arrgh, who is that ?” I reached for my phone to pick the call. “Hello sunshine” a high pitched feminine voice said from the other end.“Why are you calling me so early?”“I want to hear my baby’s voice before I start my day”“Not today, Dave” His laugh is so loud and annoying, and this is not how I want to start my day.“How's your new secretary?” The question brought back memories of the incident, “Why did you send her to the house without informing me?”“She walked in on me naked, well not fully naked, but I was only wearing my underpants”He starts laughing again, at this point I felt like stuffing paper into his mouth.“I guess everything is funny to you” “Sorry” He chuckled“Why would you assign someone like that to me?”“There’s nothing wrong with her. Yes, I know this is her first time as a secretary, but she aced the interview.” “Besides she was not originally meant to work for you, but no one was willing to apply for the post of secretary to the CEO
The weather in New York is so annoying, this minute the sun is shining, the next minute it is raining heavily. I'm just thankful that I was able to get a ride home from the nerdy guy in my department. I don't remember his name and I don't think it is the right time to ask for his name.“Thank you for the ride, I'm so grateful”“You are welcome. See you at work tomorrow, bye.”I thanked him once more as I got out of the car, and raced to the house. It is raining heavily and I don't want to get myself wet.Quickly opening the door as the sound of the thunder grew louder, I walked into the house and noticed it was messier than usual.What the hell?I picked up the scattered clothes on the floor when I heard Derek’s voice "Who is he?” Derek asked as He walked down the stairs. “ Who?” “The guy I saw you coming out of his car.”“That's my colleague at work, he helped me with a ride home because of the rain”“He helped me with a ride,” he said in a mocking tone. “Didn’t we have an agre...
