"Should we leave him like this?" I mumble referring to my boss laying in his king sized bed with black silk sheets.He still has his pants and dress shirt on, "The housekeeper would change him but she's asleep so I guess this will just suffice." Aaron shrugs, I nod then lean over Grey and place the sheets over his body.Apparently my boss, lives almost an hour away from where he works, I almost see why he made me drop him off at a hotel fifteen minutes away.That's a long drive home, even for him. I wouldn't say I was shocked when I saw a huge modern mansion in the middle of nowhere, a little scared? Yes, but shocked, no.The inside I just as big, I hardly doubt a lot of people live here but I know the housekeeper and Noelle are usually the only people here.I yawn and rub my eyes, "Maybe you should stay the night?" "Huh?" I mumble looking at the driver, she shakes his head."Mr Grey would insist that you stay the night, it's almost midnight and we have another hours' trip for you. H
"Grandma!" The moment the car stops she jumps out of her seat and opens door then runs to her grandmother.We stopped at the mall and waited a few minutes before another black SUV appeared and the same woman from the GG came out.I step out and look at the two share a moment. Noelle is chattering animatedly with her grandmother, who smiles throughout it all.Unlike the last time I saw her, she's radiating. With no offence meant, she looks older than she's supposed to.At the Grey Gala, she was quiet, dull and paid no attention to anything. I assumdd it was because of her husband's scene, but with this little girl in her arms she's totallt different.Face is glowing and a full smile on her face, she approaches me. "Mrs Grey." I acknowledge.She frowns and eyes me up and down, I gulp when her familiar brown eyes glare at me. Now I know where he gets it from."Rosaleigh, Mr–""Xander's assistant, I know. Now if you'll excuse us." She walks around me and enters the car.My eyes widen sli
"Whoa." Noelle and I laugh at Lucia's reaction to the 'Grey Manor' as she calls it.I can't blame her though, last time it was so dark I couldn't take the time to admire it and I was in a hurry to leave but now.I wonder if he done it himself.It's modern yet expensive but doesn't scream 'money!' when you see it. It's so many things in one but it lacks the homey feel, the touch of a woman."We're staying here for a week?!" Her excitement is honestly amusing."You should see the theatre room and game room." Noelle adds, if only she hadn't.Thank God it's Friday, if it had been a weekday, I know I'd struggle with her. Aaron appears from the top of the stairs and comes down."Jolene isn't here which explains why you are. I've put you're sister's bags in the room next to Noelle's. There are some instructions left in the kitchen, do's and don'ts and Noelle's allergy list." He lists, I nod."Thank you." He nods and leaves, when I turn back I see two puppy dog faces staring at me.Sighing, I
Who knew how much work this guy has to go through every day? I can totally justify his grumpiness now.Juggling my duties as a personal assistant and being the 'boss', you can call that a sh*t storm.I got a taste of it during the weekend but today it just seems worse than ever, I look at the stack of work I have left on the right side of the desk.F*cking Mount. Everest.The intercom on the desk goes off, "Rosaleigh there's a Julio waiting for you at reception." I take a quick glance at my watch and internally curse."Let him up." I respond. Looking for my phone, I find it on the floor and switch it on.Three missed calls from Julio Bristow.Stumbling out of the chair, I put on my shoes and grab my handbag. I manage to quickly take a look at myself hoping like I don't look like I haven't aged twenty years.Only halfway there.The moment I reach the elevator, he's already waiting in the waiting area. He smiles when he sees me, "Hey, I wasn't sure if you'd remember. But if you're too b
TrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrTrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrTrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrI groan and open my eyes slowly, I can feel all the crust breaking apart as I do so.Sitting up I take the phone and bring it to my ear, "Rosaleigh." I grumble, the line is silent."What's wrong?" My eyes widen at the voice on the other side, and widen even further at the concern it's laced in.I look down at my watch, it's quarter to three which means I just fell asleep."What makes you think something is wrong?" I ask, there is shuffling on the other side before he answers."You left with that Julio boy for an hour and now Nicholas claims that your mood has completely changed." He states.So they know each other.I stand up and make head for the connected bathroom, "How does that concern either of you? With all due respect." I ask, my eyes fall unto the mirror which reflect me right now."Damn." I whisper lowly to myself, my hair looks like it's been through some electromagnetic waves, mascara taints my cheeks with
Ignoring him didn't end as well as I thought it would, matters are worse than I thought."You have to await trail." I whisper, his eyes go wide, glistening with unshed tears."Y-You can't let that happen Rosie." He stutters, I shake my head feeling the same tears come up."You are over eighteen Logan, you are considered an adult." I tell him, his mouth opens and closes, speechless.Guilt and fear swirls in his blue eyes, "What were you thinking?" I ask lowly, not having the power to raise my voice."Rosa–""Did you lie to me? Us? Dad?" I cut him off, he shakes his head, his locks moving along with it."I didn't, I'm not using anymore that's true. I've been attending the meetings yes. I was just caught at the wrong place, at the wrong time."I want to believe him, I do. But the lies I've come across over the years can make the devil seem like an angel."They are sending you to the state prison, where you'll be waiting fourteen days for trial. I'll see if I can get a lawyer for you." I
Sh*t, I'm late.Jumping out of bed I stumble on my feet and I'm out of the room and in the bathroom in under a minute.How come my alarm didn't ring? Or anyone bother to wake me up?I don't think I've ever taken a shower that quick, I'm out of there in under ten minutes. I quickly brush my teeth, apply dry shampoo to my hair and brush it out.In the room, I search for my phone and when I find it I realize that the battery is finished but the iPhone still has enough battery, my alarm had just been cancelled.I quickly get dressed and cake my face in make-up to hide my exhaustion, I send a quick text to Aaron asking for him to please come and pick me up.For once in my life, I'm out of a house in under thirty minutes, of course I didn't make the bed or eat breakfast but I'll be making it before ten.Relaxing slightly, I take out my phone and dial Nic's number. It rings twice,"Morning sleeping beauty." I smile slightly."Not funny. I know I'm running late but please tell me you attended
The telephone besides me rings, sighing when I see it's line one I answer. "Yes sir?" I don't even bother hiding the annoyance in my voice."Before you even ask, I just finished everything you ordered and even ate an apple and yogurt. I'm. Okay." I grit out then end the call.After yesterday, I swear I want to old Mr Grey back. I woke up this morning in the familiar room I'd been staying in a few days before, a doctor came in and just instructed me to eat me and drink a lot more water to avoid any more blackouts.Grey insisted I stay home but I arrived just past ten and by one he had a whole f*cking buffet sent to me. I swear I wanted to strangle him, over the hours he would call me and ask if I had finished everything. Took me over three hours to finish everything, provided he threatened to fire me and now I feel like an overstuffed turkey.He even took the time to give me the minimum amount of work to do, said something about stress and lack of time or something along those lines.Th
