1415 Words
I set my files over beside my lunch. I made a lunch for Greg to. If he had time to have lunch with me. I was not sure. After all he was the boss.
He really was a busy man. Over in the corner of the office wall there was a photo of Mr. Brady on the wall. Of Greg's handsome father. I smile as I sip my tea.
The phone was sure to start ringing. Then I was going to be transferring calls to Greg's line in his office. I had already made a pot of coffee for all the men there.
As well as picked up some donuts at the little bakery in our town. I hoped the guys would all like them a lot. Some gentlemen comes in the office. He was a worker wearing a hard had and carried blueprints in his hands.

"Well, well well, Greg hired a new dame. Wow, what a dame she is" he whistles.
"Do you wish to speak to Mr. Brady sir?" I ask the man.
Dame? How old was he? I giggle.
"I wish to speak to Greg is he here?" asks the man.
"Yes, he is just a moment. I will get him for you. Please have a seat" I order the man. "Help yourself to coffee or donuts" I tell him.
He nods. Then wanders over to get coffee. I buzz for Greg.
"Hi someone is there to speak to you" I tell him.
"Who?" asks Greg.
"I don't know he did not say. Want me to ask him?" I worry.
"Oh no I will be right out" he sighs.
Greg comes out of his office. He was all dressed nice today wearing a suite with a blue tie. He looked so handsome. He always looked great though. Greg wanders over to where the gentlemen was waiting on him.
And they shake hands. Greg is talking about the blueprints with the man. Then Greg gets some coffee that I made.
Then he spots the donuts I brought in. He looks very pleased about the donuts. He looks over and smiles a mile at me. Then gives me a wink.

"Hi Daisy, what is going on?" Pete asks as he comes in the office. "What is Mr. Barlett doing here?" he wonders.
"Who is Mr. Barlett?" I wonder.
"That is one of the men who hired us on a job. I hope we are doing alright" sighs Peter. "otherwise, Greg is going to chew me out" he worries.
"Have a coffee Pete. I bought donuts to" I change the subject.
"You did? Gee your swell" he brags on me. He gives me a toothy smile. He rushes over to the donuts.
They all are chatting. Then Mr. Barlett heads out of there whistling.
"Greg, we did do everything he asked. He is not seeing to reason!" argues Pete.
"I know I know that he changes his mind all the time. He forgets" says Greg. "just agree and say yes sir" says Greg.
"Even when he was wrong?" snaps Pete.
"Even when" adds Greg.
Pete storms out of there. Looking frustrated and mad.
"Daisy thanks for the donuts. We needed them today" sighs Greg. He looked frustrated.
"What is wrong?" I ask.
"Mr. Barlette is one of dads oldest clients we have ever had. He is getting forgetful of what he wants. He keeps saying my men did not do their job when they do. He forgets he changes his mind all the time" he sighs. "But this is our last job. He is creating a retirement home for him and his wife. This his the last time we will be hired by him" Greg tells me.
"I am sure you will all get through this" I say.
"Yes, but Pete is new on the job. He is frustrated and he is frustrating me to" Greg admits. "this is nice" he tells me.
"What is nice?" I ask him.
"Having you here to talk to during my work hours. I love this" he answers. He pulls me in his arms. Then kisses me. "Good morning love. And thank you for the donuts. How much to I owe you for them?" he asks me.
"One kiss?" I tease.
He laughs as he kisses me. "Alright"
"Make that three" I giggle.
He kisses me three times. "Four for the tip" he jokes as he kisses one more time.
"I also made us a lunch. If you have time for lunch with me" I say.
"I will make time. I will try" he promises me.
"If you can't do not worry" I answer him.

The phone rings.
"My first call!" I giggle.
"Go for it" he says.
He sits on my desk. Then I nod. I sit down and answer the call.
"Hi there, Daisy, how is it going working for Greg?" asks aunt Alice.
I groan. "Fine, fine. Things are going great" I laugh.
"Who is it?" whispers Greg.
"Aunt Alice" I tell him. He laughs.
"Hi Alice" Greg takes the phone from me.
They talk a bit before hanging up. Then we get back to working. Then lunch time is rolling around before to long. The day was flying by us here. It was a lot of work. I was famished by the time lunch time came here.
♡♪♬♪♡
"I can't have lunch Daisy. I am meeting with a client. I am so sorry" Greg says as he rushes out the door. He comes back in and kisses me. "I will have dinner with you. Right?" he asks me.
"Sure, we can have dinner" I add. "at my place" I say.
"Sounds fantastic. Can't wait" he tells me before he heads out the door.
"Lunch for one" I say to myself as I get my lunch out of my brown baggy.
"That looks great. I did not have time to get lunch" sighs Pete. He came back in. "have any extra donuts lying around here?" he wonders.
"No, I am sorry I do not" I say. "But I have another lunch. I was going to have lunch with Greg, but he can't so here you go" I tell him. I toss him a lunch.
"You are a lifesaver Daisy" he brags on me.
"Thanks" I giggle.
We sit down and enjoy having lunch together. It was not Greg, but he would do. Pete was a nice guy. We chat and enjoy a lunch together.
I did not even later see Greg on my way home. He was in and out of the office. He really did need help. Poor guy was trying to keep his dad's dream alive. He was doing a good job of it though.
When I got home, I rummage through my kitchen to find something decent to make for dinner that night. I had two steaks I had yet to make.
A can of mixed veggies. And rolls I had not baked in the oven yet. I whip up dinner for us both. Then after I take a quick shower. Change clothing into something nicer to wear. And touch my make up up!
The doorbell rings. Greg was right on time. He looked so tired. Handsome but tired. He pulls me in his arms. Then we pull apart for a kiss.
♡♪♬♪♡
"I looked forward to this all day" he sighs as he holds me close.
I drag him in the house.
"I made you dinner" I tell him.
"It smells wonderful" he praises me.
"Thank you" I answer.
We set up dinner on the back porch for a night dinner out there. Under the stars. I get some wine for us to share to. I play some light music on my radio to. It was romantic. Charming.
"Thanks for putting up with Pete at lunch" he chuckles as he sips some wine.
"Thanks, he is fine. I enjoyed spending time with Pete" I admit as I eat my meal.
"Really? He does not bug you?" jokes Greg.
"Not in the slightest. But he is not my brother" I giggle.
"True" he says. "how do you like working for me?" he wonders.
"I love it so far. It makes the day go by fast" I add.
"I bet it does. And thank you for the donuts" he says. "that was a wonderful treat"
"You are very welcome" I say. "You gave me a job. I wanted to do something nice" I say.
"You, are the most amazing woman I have met in a long time" he promises me.
"Thank you, Greg," I softly answer. He leans over and plants a kiss on my lips.
"Dinner is wonderful. And so are you Daisy" he replies.
This was a wonderful way to end the first day on the job. I knew not all days would be this good. But I loved working with Greg. It was going to be great seeing him at work every day.
