Abigail Hayes~•~“When I saw you, I figured you were newly employed here. I just didn’t think we’d be working in such proximity.” George– Mr. Galanti said. He was still as casual as he could be, as though nothing happened between us. Maybe it just wasn’t remarkable for him.“Me too, sir.” I was sitting opposite him in his office. I never thought a day would come when I would be in such a situation but there I was. “You know what your work entails, right?” He asked like I was dumb.I held back the frown threatening to break free. I couldn’t talk to him however I wanted now. He was my boss and I’d be working a room away from him. “Answering the phone, managing diaries, organizing meetings and appointments, booking and arranging travel–“He held out his hand, effectively cutting me off. “Aside from the regular secretarial job, I’m certain you read the details of your job. It includes being my personal assistant, which means you’ll also run personal errands for me.”My tongue poked the
George Galanti~•~I was certain someone up there was fucking with me. There was no other reason why the only woman who had ever intrigued me just left my office a few hours ago. I knew I was fucked. I knew the rational thing to do was to let her go or give her a new job somewhere in the company where I wouldn’t have to set my eyes on her, but I had always been a selfish man.When I saw her at first, I was surprised and started to wonder if I fucked one of my employees. Then I waved that off, knowing she would have recognized me that night if she was my employee. The next assumption was that she was newly employed and I was right. I’d never been less happy to be right.It was like I was being tortured by the sight of her. She was the greatest distraction I could have seeing as I couldn’t even focus on work after seeing her.It wasn’t too late to fire her, right?It was no doubt that I wanted her. I could have her if I wanted. Besides, I was the boss and nobody could question me, but
Abigail Hayes~•~Working with Mr Galanti was, for lack of a better word, crazy.He was meticulous when it came to work so it meant everything I did had to be perfect. My reports had to show extreme details, down to the smallest ones, or he would be left unsatisfied.Zara told me he was too demanding which was why his secretaries usually quit whenever the work got too tough and that was equally why the salary for being his secretary skyrocketed. Mr Galanti, however, didn’t see any problem with himself. He believed he just had lazy secretaries who refused to do their work the right way.As though he was summoned by my thoughts, the telephone by my desk rang. I picked it up with a, “Hello. This is GG Enterprise. How may I help you?”“Come to my office.” I heard the familiar voice of my boss before he hung up abruptly, not waiting for me to reply. I’d been working for him for more than a week now but I still wasn’t used to his curt approach.I resisted a sigh and dropped the telephone be
Abigail Hayes~•~George arched an eyebrow as though he was confused, but my glare didn’t soften.Seeing this, he stood up and rounded the table, his hands placed in his pockets. “What are you yelling about?”“You have a wife?” I repeated, throwing the newly ironed suit at him.He picked it up, scowling at me for wrinkling his clothing “You met Christine?”I opened and closed my mouth repeatedly, shocked by his nonchalance. “We made love!”“We fucked, Abigail, and that has nothing to do with Christine. She’s my wife and you were just a body for my pleasure. Now, if you’d get out of my office.”My mouth fell open. I couldn’t fucking believe him. That was it? That was his explanation? Christine was his wife and I was what? “What the fuck did you say?” I might lose my job for getting mad at him like that but I couldn’t find it in me to care at that moment. I had a penchant for creating trouble for myself when I was angry and this wasn’t any different.As though he had all the time in the
George Galanti~•~“Not that it concerns you,” I gritted out as I zipped up my pants. “But Christine and I are open. We’re allowed to fuck whoever we want. I am not a cheater.” I hated that tag more than anything in this life.She looked up at me, still breathing heavily, and not saying anything.I let out a sigh. “Stand up.”As though her body was wired to follow my orders, she stood up and didn’t protest as I carried her into the bathroom connected to my office. “Are you lying to me?” She questioned in a small voice.“I have no reason to lie. If I were cheating, there’s honestly nothing you could do about it. Do you realize that?” She glared at me for that question.Abigail seemed calm now. She had walked into my office with fire blazing from her ears, ready to bring hell to me for daring to touch her while I was married. As I said before, I didn’t know whether to classify her as brave or stupid for doing something as silly and courageous as slapping her boss. I could literally fire
Abigail Hayes~•~“Abby! You have a delivery!”I stuck my head out of the bathroom door at Maya’s voice. “What? I didn’t order anything.”“Well, it clearly says Abigail Hayes and it has our apartment complex on it.”“Accept it for me then,” I told her before I continued to scrub down my body while trying to recall if I ordered something and forgot about it. Nothing came to mind. I’d been too broke these last few days to order anything. I’d only been working for a total of two weeks and I got paid monthly. It was a good thing the month was coming to an end soon.As soon as I was done in the bathroom, I dried off my body and wrapped a robe around my body. It was Saturday, which meant it was my free day if George didn’t suddenly decide he needed me to accompany him to one of his dinners again. He had too many of those and I didn’t know why he never took his wife with him.I strolled out of the bathroom and went straight to the kitchen. “What’s in it?” I asked Maya.“I don’t know.” She s
Abigail Hayes~•~George Galanti was a businessman so there was no surprise with the way he got things done.The next Monday, I had no choice but to take the car to work, but that meant I had to wake up earlier than usual because unlike what my boss had said, the traffic in New York was more unpredictable.“Can you be fucking quiet!” Maya yelled out of her room. “I have the day off and I’m trying to fucking sleep in.”“Sorry!” I squeaked out as the pans continued to clang against each other. I was trying to make breakfast and lunch so I could take it to work. There was a company cafeteria but I didn’t like going there. The food was amazing – only the best for a company like GG Enterprise – but I didn’t know anyone and it was weird eating alone. Come to think of it, I’d never seen my boss eating lunch.“I hate you.”“Sorry!” I apologized again. “You’ll sleep when I’m gone.”I heard her groan out loud and I chuckled, trying to be quiet. As an apology, I made breakfast for her as well fo
George Galanti~•~Abigail didn’t know how much her face betrayed her emotions. She tried to keep whatever she was thinking to herself but it was clearly splayed on her face and I didn’t plan to tell her that.She showed up at work the next day in a shorter dress and I had to keep my smile to myself until she was out of the room.She liked having someone to give her orders. She liked it when I told her what to do, even if she tried to lie to herself about it. She also liked to ogle me for some reason. If she was horny, she could just say that, but she had transformed from the straightforward person I met two weeks ago to a shy reserved woman.Whenever I stared at her for too long, I’d catch her squeezing her legs together and whenever she stared at me for too long, she’d zone out and stop hearing what I was saying.I knew that what I was doing with her was dangerous. I was playing a game of push and pull and I could very well get attached, but it was too damn fun seeing her struggle to
George Galanti~•~I never thought there’d be a time when I would hate working, but I hated it a lot recently because it kept me away from my wife. She was so close yet so far away. It was distracting.I straightened up when the door to my office suddenly opened. “Mr. Galanti, what can I do for you this time?”I held back a laugh. This was the seventh time I was calling her into my office and it was only ten in the morning. “I don’t know, Mrs. Galanti. What can you do for me?”Abigail shot me an irritated look. “I’m beginning to regret working for you again.”“It’s been two months since you resumed. You should be used to it by now.”After months of pleading with her, Abigail finally agreed to be my secretary again, but it was part-time this time around. She usually clocked off by one so she could attend her baking classes.I was happy she was finally doing what she wanted but baking classes introduced her to more people. She had more friends and less time for me because she had to han
Abigail Hayes~•~A few weeks later, there was news that Micheal Rivera was being held in prison while being investigated because he had done much more than kill my father and strip people of their businesses.In his lifetime, he had changed his last name about six times, the first one being as soon as he turned eighteen. I didn’t know what kind of sad life he had that he had to change his name as soon as possible and I didn’t care to know his story.Whatever was wrong with his childhood didn’t give him the right to kill my father. I was more than happy when George forwarded the news to me and I forwarded it to my mother who called me to express her happiness and gratitude.Music was blasting from the speakers and I was doing a little dance while I played around with flour. I was getting better at making pastries. I could make a doughnut now but I was still experimenting with the toppings.I was so in my head that I didn’t hear it when the front door opened nor did I hear footsteps un
Abigail Hayes~•~I had said this a hundred times but I was going to keep repeating it.George was a stubborn man.I had told him not to worry about my family because I was going to take care of them by myself but he insisted on searching for a new house with a better security and smoke system. He could have just made one for the current house but according to him, part of it was gone and could fall anytime. I agreed with him on that.He told me that if I didn’t agree, he was going to find one behind my back, so I had no choice but to go house hunting with him.My mom was going to be mad, but I was going to emotionally blackmail her into accepting it. I would only be assured after they had settled down in a safe environment.“What are you going to do about him?” I questioned as we drove to our next destination.He knew exactly who I was talking about. I didn’t even have to call a name. “He’s in the midst of a name change again.”“How do you know that?”“I have eyes on him.” George shr
George Galanti~•~“Including fuck me in your parents’ house?” Abigail asked with a sly smile when she broke away for breath.“What?”“You said you’d do anything for me.”“Your mother is under this roof.” I reminded her.She nodded. “I know.”“So is your sister.”“Mm-hmm.”“And your best friend.” She still wasn’t deterred. “Your parents-in-law.”“I’ll be quiet:”I chuckled when I realized I wasn’t going to be able to talk her out of it. The tub was big enough to accommodate four people so we could do whatever we wanted. She leaned toward me again, placing both of her legs on both sides of mine so she could sit on my lap.Both of us were already naked and in the water. “The walls are quite thick but you’ll have to be quiet anyway,” I informed her.She loved to act like I had a high sex drive that she couldn’t keep up with but she was even worse than me. If I wasn’t so in love with her that I was almost obsessed with her body, I didn’t think I would have been able to keep up with her.W
Abigail Hayes~•~George’s mother was absolutely surprised when she saw all six of us pull up to her house. George assured her we’d be done by tomorrow; not all of us though, everyone except Olivia and my mom.My mom said they would also leave the next day and find a hotel to stay at until they figured something out. Maya then said her offer was still available, which led to another round of arguments. However, George’s mother was welcoming enough that she insisted they both stay there for the meantime.His father was also accommodating. He figured they could use this as a chance for both families to bond.I didn’t mind, but I thought they’d be inconveniencing them. George thought otherwise.Dinner was rowdy and everyone was talking at once. Olivia recounted the story about how she perceived the smell of the fire and was confused for a second. She thought her senses were playing tricks on her but as soon as she told our mom, mom told her to take her valuables outside and call the fire
George Galanti~•~All of us had to leave because we were all worried. We hadn’t even touched our food but we didn’t have time to pack them home so Charles just paid the bill and we were on our way to Abigail’s childhood home.She was worried as fuck and even if she knew her mother and sister were safe, she was still close to crying. I didn’t blame her. I would lose my shit if I found out my parents were in danger.Charles drove as fast as the speed limit would allow and it seemed like it was high enough because it didn’t take too long before we arrived at the place.The car hadn’t even properly come to a stop before Abigail was running out of it. I was worried she’d fall but even with the heels, she landed safely.Maya and I exited the car and allowed Charles to find somewhere to park. There was a fire truck in front of the house but no ambulance and I was happy about that.By the time I reached the front of the house, Abigail was in a deep embrace with her mother and sister. She was
George Galanti~•~Charles was a nervous wreck.It was amusing to watch.We were on our way to pick up Maya and Charles was the one driving, hoping he would impress her with his car. Abigail and I sat in the backseat.I suggested we take our own car but Abigail said it was more fun this way. I had no choice but to agree. The only reason I was even going on this double date was because Charles begged me. He didn’t want to be with her alone for fear that he would say something wrong and if he didn’t have anything to say, he hoped Abigail would keep her company.Little pussy.“Will it be too much if I open the door for her?” Charles asked from the driver's seat.Who overthought opening the car door for a lady? It was a simple gesture and basic courtesy. Why would he think it was too much? I wanted to respond to him, but luckily for him, Abigail did instead because I would have ended up insulting him. “She’d like it if you opened the door for her.”He looked at her through the rearview mi
Abigail Hayes~•~“You came back earlier than expected.” I heard George speak as soon as I opened the door. “The triplets had something else to do so they left early. It was just me and Maya left so we didn’t spend much time at the bar.”“Hmm.” He eyed me warily. “Are you drunk?”I shook my head, smiling. “Not at all.” He walked up to me and took the bags from my hand. “Why didn’t you call me to come help you downstairs?”“I’m here, aren’t I?” I chuckled before properly looking at him. He was still dressed in his work attire. “Are you just coming back from work?”He nodded, leaning down to kiss me shortly. “There was no use coming back when you wouldn’t be home.” I shook my head and followed him as he carried the shopping bags to our room. “Can I see them?”George was an adorable husband. I nodded. “The pink bag is for Olivia,” I informed him as I took it from the bed and carried it into the closet. There, I stripped off my clothes and put them in the hamper before taking one of Geo
Abigail Hayes ~•~When we got into the store, we made our way to the clothing section first. We browsed through the racks of clothes, trying to find what we liked. “I’m sorry about your pregnancy.” Emery sympathized with me, her eyes focused on my flat stomach. I wasn’t expecting it but it was normal because everyone would notice I wasn’t with a baby anymore. I was supposed to be showing by now.Flashing an awkward smile, I responded. “Thank you I guess.” “I’m sorry we didn’t come to visit you when it happened.” Evelyn chimed in and I shot her a weak smile. “It’s okay. At least you guys are here now.” I said, trying my best not to show how uncomfortable I was with the conversation. I didn’t even need any sympathy visit from them or anybody. I didn’t even see my sister and mum for over a week when it happened. I didn’t want the happy mood to change with them reminding me of what I lost. I was trying to move on from the situation and accept my fate. “What do you guys think about
