Vivian never knew her mother as she had died when she was little. She had been raised by her father, and when he died four years ago, Vivian had felt so alone. She had some distant relatives, but they were really far away, and Vivian didn't really feel as if she knew them. Megan had become her family and that was enough for her. She grabbed her handbag and the file which contained the documents Scott had requested to see, and said goodbye to Megan. "Please lock up for me" she said, "I don't want to be late so I have to hurry. Don't forget to keep my key on top of the light bulb outside" "Sure," Megan replied. "Goodluck" And so with her heart beating with excitement and nervousness, Vivian drove to her new workplace. —-----------Vivian drove her small car into Creative Edge construction company premises and stared in awe. She had known that it was a big company. She had even seen pictures of it when she was doing her numerous research about the company before coming up with the r
Scott's eyes scanned every inch of her like laser beams. His eyes took in her suit jacket and skirt, her handbag, down to her shoes. Then slowly, they returned to her face."You're early," he said, "And that's good. Sit down,"Vivian went to one of the chairs in front of his desk with a casualness she didn't feel. She sat down and resisted the urge to cross her legs, reminding herself that this was an office and not the restaurant she was used to. She dropped her hand bag beside her. Her ponytail hung across her shoulder.There was a brief silence for a few seconds while Scott worked on his laptop while Vivian took the opportunity to look around the spacious, expensive looking office. Suddenly he sprawled in the desk chair and rested his head against its high back. The movement brought Vivian's attention back to him. He had a very intense way of staring, she thought as blood beat against her skull. Her hands tightly grasped the arms of the chair as she waited for him to speak."I don'
"Us?" Vivian repeated, and Betty nodded. "Yeah. Just me and some other staff. There's Linda, George, and Michael. Come on, I'll introduce you to everyone." "Okay, but what if Mr McCall needs me?""Then he'll call you" Betty replied, "but I doubt he will. He knows you should be having lunch right now."Vivian smiled and stood up. "Well, in that case let's go. I'm starving." ____________Vivian had never worked in a place so big before, and she couldn't help looking around. The cafeteria was big enough to contain the large number of staff members and Vivian followed Betty as she pointed out some places and people. After they got their lunch, they moved to a table with three people already sitting in it. The lady among them simply stared at her while the young men smiled at Vivian. "Oh, who's the newbie?" the lady asked. "The new assistant I told you about yesterday, duh" Betty replied as she took a seat. "Don't tell me you have forgotten so early. What the hell do you do with that
"Oh… ermmm… I just wanted to let you know that I was leaving and I wanted to make sure you didn't need anything else" she stammered. He nodded. "Oh, that's fine. I'm good. You can leave. Good night, Miss Sanchez" "Good night, Mr McCall" Vivian replied and turned to go. "Miss Sanchez," Scott called and Vivian turned around again, her hands on the doorknob. "You did great for your first day. Well done." Vivian smiled shyly, hoping that he wouldn't see how red her cheeks had become. "Thank you, sir" she said, then hurriedly opened the door and almost ran out of the room. __________"Ohhh…. The office lady is here" Megan said playfully when Vivian came into the restaurant. Vivian smiled. "Move out of my way, I'm late" she said as she hurried past her to the ladies room to change into her uniform. Her shift would last only four hours, before they closed for the day. She was tired, but she still needed to keep this job. When she finally came out, Megan was waiting. "What?" "Come on,
Olivia finished her wine in one gulp, smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck. "Oh please. You know I can't stay mad at you for long… even when I want to. You always know what a woman wants." She leaned over for a kiss, and Scott didn't hesitate. He was all pumped up from thinking about Vivian and he needed to get it out of his system. He figured it was just sexual tension, and the only way to get rid of it was to get some release…. With anyone. So he kissed Olivia hard and he groaned. A groan that was ragged and so needy it should’ve embarrassed him, but he didn't care. Maybe it would be embarrassing tomorrow in the harsh light of day. But tonight, right now, he just wanted to get it over with. His tongue twisted and tangled with hers, and he didn't care. He nipped at her bottom lip, slightly biting it before kissing her again. He lifted his head and immediately started to undress her. He got her dress off quickly. Her panties followed and then he stripped her of her bra, bar
They remained there, silent but connected through physical touch. After several moments, he squeezed his mom’s shoulder. “Can I talk to you about this mom?" Scott asked." I mean… outside."She nodded, following him out of the waiting room where they could have more privacy. “What happened?” he demanded. He realized that the tone of his voice was hard so he tried to soften it by taking her hand in his. The last thing he wanted to do was to upset his mom. “Since the announcement of Bruce Bennet's engagement, I’ve tried my best to keep her protected from the news. Even going on her computer and phone and blocking those society sites. But I knew that was only postponing the inevitable. I knew that she was going to find out eventually and it happened. Last night, she found out and heard her sobbing all the way from downstairs, Scott,” she whispered, her eyes filled with tears. “I went up to her room and found her curled up on the floor of her bedroom, crying uncontrollably. She was shaki
Scott didn't respond to her greeting. Instead, his eyes narrowed. "My office… now, Miss Sanchez" he said, then without waiting for a response, he turned around and headed for his office.The concrete vacated by his expensive shoes seemed to smolder as Vivian looked down at it. She followed him, but her heart was beating very fast. She had no idea what she had done, but she had a feeling that whatever it was, it wasn't good. He looked so pissed and the thought of what he was going to say to her scared her so much. She had not had this job for long and she was already screwing things up… oh God. He had left his office door half open, and when she knocked, he ordered her in with a voice that made her want to flee. She shut the door behind her when she got inside the office and stood, waiting for him to speak. Scott stood behind his desk and glared at her through angry, tired eyes. Slowly, the glittering half closed eyes traced her face, from her upturned nose to her generous mouth. His
"Have you had anything to eat today, Mr McCall" Vivian asked him. He hadn't. The truth was that he'd even forgotten about food. Worried about his sister, and concerned about his mother, he'd focused on work, trying to get rid of the anger and the worry. Not that it had helped much… "I took some coffee in the morning" he replied and stood up, brushing it off like it meant nothing. He moved to his desk, grabbed his jacket and put it on. He noticed that she had also packed up his suitcase and grabbed it too. "Thanks Miss, Sanchez" he said. "You can go home now" He didn't want her to see him this way. In fact he didn't want anyone to see him this way. He was used to being the tough guy. The one who was always in control. The one who fixed things… but she made no effort to leave. "You should come with me to the shop" Vivian said, like he hadn't spoken. When he raised an eyebrow, she added, "The cheesecake shop. I'm going over there now" "Now?" he asked. Vivian nodded. "And why woul
