THE ONE NIGHTSTAND WITH MY CEO.

6|SYMPTOMS

-ANDREA-

It has been a whole week working at Santos and Co with everything being the same. But for the past two days I have been feeling nauseous constantly, with me visiting the toilet every twenty to thirty minutes, which only happens in the morning.

I think it's a stomach bug and it will go away pretty soon. It's now five o'clock and I have been vomiting my lungs out since 4am. I needed to get ready for work.I entered the bathroom and saw my reflection in the bathroom mirror, where I looked more pale than usual.

I used my favourite lavender shower gel to wash my hair and body thoroughly and after applied my lotion and I must say I was very hungry and was craving pizza and I knew that was not possible for a morning like this.

So, instead, I made my regular breakfast, as usual, bacon,sausages, toasted bread with coffee, but decided against the eggs since I would feel nauseous.

Then I went back to the room and wore a white blouse with blue trousers paired with my sandals and black bag. On dressing,I noticed my breasts were fuller and knew my period was about to set in probably in two days or less, since it was supposed to have shown up five days ago.

I locked the door and walked to the ground parking lot of my apartment and drove to Santos and Co. For this week I usually used Mr Santos' private elevator secretly, since the other one was always packed, and I hoped he would not one day see me in it.

I arrived at my office and took a chocolate bar from my drawer. I went grocery shopping three days ago and stocked my office drawers with food since I sometimes feel hungry.

The office phone rang and I answered.

"Hello, I would like to book an appointment with Mr Arson this afternoon at 4pm. Will it be possible".

"Give me a minuite and I will get back to you"." OK".

"Sorry but Mr Arson is booked at that particular time but can make it at 2pm instead"." Ok".

"Which company are you calling from"."I am calling from Alexander designs". "OK bye and, I cut the call".

Since morning, I have been receiving calls to book clients to meet with Mr Arson. They are only supposed to call on a Monday to book their time for the week or forget it since he is a busy man.

"The phone rang."Hello, tell your boss to answer my call".

"And please, who is this".

"Tell him it is Tiana, his fiancee".

"Please, he is now in a meeting, so when he gets back I will tell him"."You better do or I will make sure you get fired".

I rolled my eyes after the call. Who does she think she is threatening me that way?I forgot about her and continued with my work.

Lunchtime approached really fast. As I walked to the cafeteria, I noticed a commotion with Tiana shouting at the guards trying to pass by them and get into the building.

"Madam, sir, told us to never let you enter the building again.Why is that? I thought that was his fiancee? He is so heartless and behaves like that to his own fiancee.

Even though she was a b***h towards me, I felt it was so not fair for this to happen to her".I left and entered the cafeteria and ordered a hamburger and fries with coke".

I was so hungry but could not go back for a second round since people would look at me as if I had grown two heads.So I sucked it up and walked back to my office".

At that instant, I was about to place my butt on the chair but I remembered Tiana's message and walked to Arson's office.

I entered the moment I heard a come in. He looked so sexy typing on his laptop with his hair gelled back, which made him look much younger, with his first two buttons opened that showed his chest and his shirt rolled up to his elbow.

"You seem lost" he said. f**k, what was I thinking?

Erm... "Sir Ms Tiana said I should tell you to reply to her calls".

" OK" he replied nonchantly after I excused myself and left.

I felt dizzy the moment I left his office, so I sat on the nearby bench I found outside his office to breathe for a while. I left when I felt better and walked to the washroom since I needed to use it. While in the cubicle, I heard two ladies come in and one say,"Did you see what happened today, Tiana, that model that mostly visits Mr Arson, was refused, today to enter the building". "She deserves it, always shouting at employees and questioning their dressing as if the company was hers and not rather Mr Arson". Said the other girl.

I was about to get out when I heard my name."One more thing. Have you seen Mr Arson's secretary? What is her name again? Yes, I remember Andrea. I heard she caused quite a stir one week ago during the contract signing". "Is that so I hope she did not sleep with Mr Arson to get her position because I heard she is pretty".

That was all I heard. After they left, I immediately felt sick to my stomach.Yes, I did sleep with Arson, but not because of my position.

I went back to my office and continued with the ordering of supplies for the upcoming projects ahead.It was soon after 4 o'clock by which I got off work, arrived home and had a quick bath.

It had been a while since we spoke, I mean with Kathy and Carol, so we agreed to a w******p call after work.

My phone rang and I answered.

" Hi girls, how are you guys doing".

"Carol, is it my eyes or her bust has actually increased".

"Yes it has"."You guys are imagining things, I think,it is because my period is about to come". "Ok" if you say so. "Kathy, how is your contract signing going" I asked her.

" It is going so well and I will be taking the shoot next week, is it not amazing?" she asked.

" Yes it is". She has always wanted to be a model since we were children and would only follow models during her teen years on her social media handle.

" What about you Carol, when will we meet your boyfriend?" I asked.

"Soon, very soon" she replied.

We spoke for about three hours straight, me telling them what I heard in the cubicle today, and Carol talking about a new girl in her office who thought she could sleep with the CEO but rather get fired.

Lately I have thought about going to the pet shop to get a dog to keep me company, because recently I feel so lonely and I do not know why, since I have practically been alone for a long time when my grandma died. I would go this Friday after work to get one.

STACYS POV.

We felt guilty and are still feeling guilty since we literally forced Andrea to go clubbing that evening. After Carol and I danced, we came back to where we left her but she was not there. We immediately knew we had made the wrong choice, leaving Andrea all by herself. We began to panic and knew in our hearts how bad friends we became the moment we left her by herself.

We called her phone but she was not answering, so we asked the bartender and he said he saw her leaving with a guy. That is when we knew we f****d up big time.

We stood outside her apartment since we did not have the keys and waited for four hours, but no sign of my friend.We had to leave since it was dangerous at that time of the night, especially for ladies to stay out for long.

Carol and I decided to go to her place, since she lived a bit closer to Andrea, and come back again in the morning to look for her.

, 6:30am on the dot, we were both in front of her apartment and saw a taxi approaching.I saw her puffy eyes and they immediately told me what had happened the night before.

We hugged her but no one spoke a single word till we reached her apartment.

"We are sorry" gasped both I and Carol.

 She then lectured us about how it was her fault since she was the one who agreed to go somewhere else with the stranger and she also dragged him to the dance floor to have a dance".

But we still knew in our hearts that if we had not forced her to go clubbing nothing would have happened that night.We stayed till she woke up from her slumber and we chatted the rest of the day with her, behaving as if nothing had happened but we could see from her eyes the pain and hurt in them.
