Chapter 8

Alexandra was too scared to go into her boss’s office but she still had to go anyway. She picked up the report she had collated for the following day; Friday’s meeting just in case he requested for it and then left for his office.

With just a knock on his office door, she opened it and went in. His sensual masculine scent which was a combination of musk, amber, and leatherwood filled the atmosphere. She always loved to inhale this fragrance anytime she was around him or whenever he walked past her office but that didn’t matter to her this time around as she was tensed up with the fear of being queried or losing her job.

“Yes Sir,” Alexandra Davidson said nervously when she got into Kirklin Jefferson’s office.

Kirklin didn’t look up at her as he purposely avoided meeting her eyes because his smile always betrayed his stern look whenever he looked at her. So he said to her while not looking up “Reschedule tomorrow’s meeting to Saturday; at 11 a.m.”

“Ow…okay Sir, any other thing?” She asked.

“I’ve signed off on your Executive Report. Get your Secretary to scan to Executives Kamala, Dave, and Matthew at the H/Q and she should keep you and me in copy” He ordered as he typed on his laptop.

“Noted Sir”

He continued… “I’ll be leaving the office now…I have to trav……” He stopped what he was saying and suddenly looked up because he heard her mumbling some words to herself. As soon as he looked up at her, he saw that she appeared lost in thought.

“Are you okay? He asked her.

“Ye… Yes Sir” She stuttered as she answered him.

She actually had a lot on her mind… from wondering if he would query her for the phone call… to the thought of the new bloke she just met who had invited her to a Friday evening concert in Paris… and also to her boss postponing the Friday meeting till Saturday morning. All sorts were ringing in her head at the same time within the few seconds that her boss told her to reschedule the meeting.

 Although she hadn’t planned to go to Paris, the news of her bestie being in a relationship with her own dream man triggered the need for her to honor her Paris invitation; maybe the Paris guy could be her own dream man. Her friend bidding farewell to singlehood made her feel like the only single lady left behind because both of them had enjoyed their single lives together.

So, she now contemplated the possibility of going to Paris on Friday evening to return to London the next day with the first flight early enough for the rescheduled Saturday 11 am meeting. She suddenly decided to be more flexible with guys now that she’s the only single lady around so she wouldn’t have to wait till an old age before she accepts a guy all because she’s waiting for Mr. Right.

“I hope this decision won’t land me in deep shit,” She soliloquized and Kirklin’s question of ‘are you okay’ interrupted her line of thoughts which made her fidget a bit. He had heard her mumble some words to herself while he spoke and as soon as he looked at her, he knew she had some things on her mind.

“Are you okay? He had asked her.

She had stuttered as she answered him “Ye… Yes Sir”.

Kirklin replied “By the way, you are free to always take your seat whenever you are in my office. You are my Assistant and you shouldn’t be standing up waiting for me to invite you to sit all the time” He said this because he wanted to bridge the gap between them since he felt she had been on the edge with him after their awkward first-day experience.

“Ow…Owkay Sir, thanks” She replied and bent to pick up the documents on his desk.

Kirklin quickly used the opportunity to look at her some more and a side of his lips twitched into a sweet smile. He knew she was going to look up after picking up the documents so he tried to suppress his smile by pretending to open his drawer to get something so that his stunningly sexy staff doesn’t catch him smiling at her.

“Can I take my leave now Sir,” She asked after getting the papers.

 “Mhmm…I’ll be out of town so I won’t be at work tomorrow. You should take charge as usual”. He said.

Alexandra furrowed her face and asked, “What about the Saturday meeting Sir?”

“I’ll be around to chair that” He replied.

“Oh great” Alexandra beamed a smile and seemed happy as this means she would be able to close early the next day which was Friday in order to catch a flight out of the UK and she wouldn’t need to study any documents for Saturday morning meeting since her boss would be around to chair it.

She quickly covered her mouth as soon as she realized she showed too much excitement. She then smiled and said, “That’s noted Sir”.

Kirklin was surprised at the way she appeared excited and asked teasingly “Are you happy that I won’t be at work tomorrow or you’re happy that I’m taking the stress of chairing the Saturday meeting off you?

Alexandra smiled and answered jokingly as she chuckled “Well, both Sir”.

She looked so cute with the way she replied him and Kirklin smiled back and said “You seem very excited to get rid of me huh?” He asked.

“Oh, certainly not what you’re thinking Sir… It was just a spontaneous reaction; I’m sorry” She gently replied as she bit her lips and then fiddled with the frills on her belt.

She had forgotten that she had documents in her arm and as she fiddled with her belt, a file slipped out of her arm and dropped on the floor.

Kirklin got up immediately to help her pick it up and handed it over to her. Their hands brushed against each other’s and there was a sensational wave of lust that moved in their bodies. Alexandra knew that was the most impossible feeling to have for a boss who never cared about women so she brushed off the strange feeling.

Kirklin restrained himself so much as he felt like grabbing her into a full hug and kissing her luscious reddish-pink lips but in as much as he controlled himself, his ‘super-big-bro’ took the best of him as his erection became obvious pushing the fly of his trousers forward.

Alexandra saw it and blushed while Kirklin became embarrassed at his d*ck that always reacts only when he thinks of or is around Alexandra Davidson. He just never reacts to any other lady but her.

“I’m sorry… he has a mind of his own and can decide to make his decision at any time” He apologized to Alexandra while referring to his erect d*ck.

She couldn't believe her ears and then smiled and asked in a confused way “He?”

“Oh yeah, he is a He… He’s a boss in his own capacity” Kirklin replied jokingly.

“Wow”. Alexandra laughed out loud and turned around to leave his office to allow his ‘super-big-bro’ to relax a bit.

She gestured in a salute and said as she looked at the fly of his trousers “Mini-Boss, permission to leave Sir?”

Kirklin saw this as really humorous as he never expected that she could joke this much with him. He burst into laughter and replied “Mini? Never… Maxi-Boss says Permission granted”

Both of them laughed over it and Alexandra agreed in her heart that it must be maxi indeed from the way it appeared huge like it was trying to find a way to escape out of his trousers. She left his office while still chuckling and imagining all sorts.

“See you on Saturday then,” He hollered as she made her way out.

“Alrightyyy then” She replied happily swinging her hips as she made her way out.
