EllieWhat the actual fuck! THE SAGE ENTERPRISES. I sit there looking as if I had just seen a ghost. The world suddenly is quiet and I am oblivious of everything happening around me. I can’t hear what Leo and Adrian are trying to say to me and it is like my mind just went blank. What did I get myself into? Ellie no…you cannot take this job. Is it so obvious that something is bugging me? That last question leads me to excuse myself and head to the bathroom to collect myself.“Fuck!” I scream once I enter the bathroom not even thinking of the two girls in there. They look at me as if I had lost it and I honestly don’t blame them, at this point I think I HAVE lost it. I go to the sink and wash my face maybe I am just in a really bad dream but after that wash, I realize how real this is. I just stole from the company some days ago then I meet the owner to help him with his company?! The chances of him getting to know I was behind all this just rose at a high speed. What am I going to do?
EllieI have to make this work. I have never been in such a big office before, I must say it is quite elegant. At the corner of the room is a grey recliner and next to it a water dispenser. The curtains of the room match the color of the sofa and have a floral pattern to them. The opposite corner of the room is a door leading to a bathroom, I have my bathroom, how nice. As you enter there is a big desk and a chair behind it. On top of the desk is a laptop and some files, I love it. I get behind my desk and settle my stuff in the drawer ready to get to work. I want to sketch up my work plan and make documents of it to share with the business board. I get to work and about 20 minutes in, I hear a knock at the door.“Come in.”“Good morning Miss White, my name is Bruce, I work with IT here,” a tall quite built man enters my office closes the door, and comes to my desk offering his hand.“Hello Bruce, I am Ellie White but you can just call me Ellie. Nice to meet you,” I say standing u
Adrian“Come in”“Excuse Mr. Sage, I was hoping to talk with you briefly,” Ellie says while standing at the door holding some files in her hand and looking as innocent as ever in her work glasses.“Have a seat.”“Thank you. So I have some great news on our progress so far. We have been able to get back five clients in the past two weeks I have been here. They are all upcoming businesses but they have helped us raise our odds and we have a 0.5% profit so far. Not much but it is a start,” she says looking as ecstatic as ever.“That is quite a start. I will admit at first I was not so sure that you would be able to handle this job but you may have proved me wrong.”“Thank you, Sir. I wanted to organize a meeting with the board members and inform everyone about the news and maybe even employ some more tactics. I was thinking that we could reduce our costs a bit further and attract more clients. It may make our profit insignificant and we would seem as if we were working in vain but
Ellie“Babe seriously how are you able to work in the same environment as him? You know this is risky as fuck,” Reina says while taking a bite of her ice cream. I still wonder how anyone can take a bite of ice cream without having that sharp sensitivity pain in the teeth. Reina has just been built differently.“You know a girl has to do what a girl has to do. I am the sole provider at home plus I know how to play my cards well. So far so good. Plus did I tell you that I lost my pendant on the day of the heist? At first, I thought it was still at the company and that was another reason I took the job, I do not want it to fall into the wrong hands but now I am starting to think I dropped somewhere else. I have looked everywhere in the company without luck. Plus if the police had it wouldn’t I be in jail right now, right?”“Yes, that is some incriminating evidence. Just take care of yourself though and play low in the company, it is just for 6 months right?”“Yes, plus I am out of th
AdrianI will admit it was so sexy to see her stand up for herself like that. I did not know that side of her, she seemed so timid at first but damn! I cannot keep my eyes off her the entire time in the boardroom. I was angry at her for coming in late but she just melted that away. Mr. Kavowski is known for such behavior and any typical city girl would have fallen for his charms for some dollars, the guy is stinking rich. I think I now hate Ellie a little less, too early to call it like so let me stick to that. After Meghan, I tread carefully when it comes to feelings. I had to go to therapy after her betrayal and I am sure as hell not going through that ever again. I do not want to be left picking up the pieces again. Why am I thinking about this? I am not going to fall for Ellie I do not even like the girl.*One Year Earlier*“Babe hurry up, you are making all the excitement fade away, isn’t she darling?” I say to my 9-year-old. We are finishing up our cereal and getting ready to
EllieI get up early and do my usual morning routine before leaving the house. I have on a black suit, a floral scarf, and black heels. I feel quite powerful yet sexy in my outfit today. I still cannot forget the sleazy man I encountered the other day during the meeting and thinking about it makes me angry every single time. Who raised these men? Anyway, I will not let anything disrupt me or my good moods today so I quickly finish making my dad breakfast before driving off to work. Lately, he has been in the best of health and this makes me so happy, he is my whole world. The sun is already shining, the sky is clear and I hear the birds singing melodiously, what would go wrong on such a beautiful day? Not even Adrian’s moody behavior can bring me down today. I walk into the company and even say hi to Angela which she does not respond but I do not give two fucks as I walk into my office carrying my favorite cup of coffee. I get into my emails and find an email from an upcoming company
AdrianI am so excited today as I get to spend it with my daughter, Amy. It was so hard to get Meghan into co-parenting ever since she moved out of the house. I will admit it has been extremely lonely living alone in such a big house even with the workers in. It kind of reminds me of the days back in university as a bachelor. I get to have Amy on weekends as I am very busy during weekdays. I am driving to Meghan’s while blasting off some old RnBs. I wonder if Ellie is having a good day, why am I even thinking of Ellie? Our last encounter was when I found her talking about me with that best friend of hers. I was a teeny bit offended that she would not want to give me a boner I am not sure why but I was. I mean she looked so sexy in that suit. I had to keep reminding myself not to stare. It was a bit cheeky of me to comment about it though but I want to get in her head so bad. Still, I do not know why but I just do. I am deep in my thoughts as I pull over to Meghan’s. I hate this place
Ellie“Oh my God! Why didn’t you tell me he is that hot? Damn, Ellie, you made it seem like he was a devil but trust me if that is how the devil looks like I do not mind being his demon. Did you see those biceps? I bet he works out,” Reina says immediately Adrian is out of sight sounding a bit too excited.“He is not all that, trust me he is bitchy, arrogant and so rude,” I say and at this point, I am not sure if I still believe he is that bad.“You say that because you are into him as much as he is into you. I can see it in both your eyes no matter how much you deny it.”“Hell no, I hate him,” I say as I move away from Reina. I am such a bad liar and even I could see that I did not mean that I hated the guy. I do not like him but I do not think it is hate.“You know what bestie, I wish you could be true to yourself and let yourself explore whatever this is,” Reina says holding my hand.“No, I can’t let myself close to him, I stole from the man. I cannot hide that from him if we
