They had been dating for a year and she looked like she was in love with him.
"C'mere" I told her, she rushed to hug me and started bawling her eyes out.
"Let it all out" I continued soothing her as she kept on crying.
After some time she stopped crying and looked at me and muttered a Small thank you.
"Sure any time but anyways why did he break up with you" I said sympathetically.
"He said I'm to clingy and needy and he didn't want to be tied down yet".
I took a deep breath to prevent myself from spewing out profanities at him.
Though I haven't personally met the guy, I thought he would be a really nice guy but apparently not.
"Don't worry you will get through this okay".
We watched a little TV and ate ice cream before Kim left saying she had to be at work the next morning.
That reminded me that I should go get Some more clothes for work tomorrow.
My weekend went by pretty uneventfully and soon it was time for my first day of work.
I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm blaring.
"Five more munits" I muttered incoherently.
I opened one eye and looked at the devil's incarnate sitting on my bedside drawer and looked at the time.
"s**t it's seven o'clock".
Jogging over to the bathroom I remove my clothes and stepped into the shower. I am hit with cold water as I switch on the showerhead.
"f**k, I haven't paid the water bill yet".
'Aren't you full of colourful words this morning' my subconscious added snarkly.
"Shut up" I snapped back.
When I was done showering, I walked out of the bathroom wrapping a towel around myself in the process.
I walked into my room and started picking out my clothes for my first day of work. I choose a see through dark blue top and an orange high waisted skirt and three inch black Open toe heels.
When I walked out of my room, I walked over to the kitchen and fixed up a big chocolate filled breakfast for myself. Since I know how to cook and bake a lot, I make myself a loot of sweet things.I really loved anything chocolate, you can say I have a sweet tooth.
I walked out of my apartment and got into my BMW. On my way to work I thought a lot about my life and my dad. I had been keeping in touch with mom and she told me dad has been working his butt off to help the business. My mom told me my dad has been hanging of the thread and insisting on bringing me back home.
She also had to go into some really disgusting things I still have a hard time getting out of my head.
"Your dad has been wearing me out cause of you'. Her words not mine.
When i got to work, I walked in and saw the same nice receptionist I met on the day of my interview.
"I see you got the job. Congratulations. " she said.
"Yes, thank you".
"Before you start the CEO requested to see you to give you a run down of the do's and don'ts.
"Thank you so very much'" I said. I dragged myself into the elevator and pressed the thirty second floor. I walked to the secretary and told her I wanted to see the CE0.
"Go right in" she said in a mocking manner.
I was about to give her a price of my munr when the huge double glass doors suddenly burst open.
"You can come in now Ms. Hayes" the husky voice said. Oh my gosh, why does his voice have to be so sexy.
"Thank you sir".
I walked in to his office and stood in front of his table as he walked around me. Like literally walked around me. I mean how creepy is that.
"Take a seat" he said after about two minutes.
"Thank you" I said back.
"You know that's the only word Ive heard you say to me since you got here" he said with a smirk.
"Why don't we get down to business, shall we?" I said in my best professional voice.
He raises an eyebrow at me in question but a smirk makes its way to his lips after a little while.
"OK" was his short reply.
After talking about business for over an hour he finally dismisses me.
"There is going to be a meeting tomorrow at ten, don't be late" he tells me strictly.
"Your personal assistant will be waiting for you in your office which is on the twelfth floor".
"Thank you, once again" he smirks at my statement.
I do a mental happy dance and walk out of his office. The secretary giving me the usual stink eye, I mean does she do that to every female she sees.
Larry pov ......
'She's so sexy' I think to myself after she leaves my office. I think I just found a new conquest. I mean who doesn't like a good game. She doesn't seem like someone to give herself to me easily but it's all in the game. Damn, I'm getting a b***r just thinking about her.
I picked up my phone and call Sydney. I need to get rid of this b***r fast.
"Sydney, come to my office now" I said before hanging up.
At the sight of Sydney the b***r became worst but .....
Ella's pov.....
Leaving his office trying to keep my head high and acting like his obvious flirting did not affect me took me a lot of courage.
When I was younger boys rarely paid attention to me so having someone who lo0ks like a Greek god flirt with me left me slightly disoriented.
He wasn't flirting with you. Was he?
I don't know.
I walked to the elevator pressing the twelfth floor before I saw a man holding a rather heavy looking briefcase.
"Hold the elevator" the man shouted.
More like screeched.
"Thank you" he says looking out of breath.
"No problem" I said.
This was when I really took my time to really examine this strange man's face.
He had glasses perched at the tip of his nose and the cutest green candy apple eyes I had ever seen. His hair was sleeked back with just the right amount of hair gel and he was wearing a professional business suit.
'Of course he has to wear one. This is a professional organisation'. My subconscious piped in sarcastically.
Choosing to ignore her, I looked up at the gentleman staring down at me too.
"Have I seen you before?, I don't think you work here"
"Oh sorry, I'm the new head of marketing. The name's Ellaherine Hayes. Nice to meet your acquaintance".
"Ohhh. Im Leo. Leonardo Gray. I'm your new personal assistant. I was to meet you on the twelfth floor but I had to come here to do some things"
"Ohhh. No problem Mr Grey" I said giving him a small smile.
The ride elevator ride to the twelfth floor was quick and strangle enough we were the only people in it. Others were probably working.
Sorting the piled up paperwork before the end of the day was a near impossible task, but I managed to finish up by seven pm before going home.
Walking out of the building, I spot a shadow beside a nice looking Rolls Royce. The figure looks over at me for a while before they get into their car and drive off.
Weird.
On getting home I park my car and walk into my apartment building.
"Good evening ma'am" the doorman, I think his name's Renaldo says.
With a small smile and nod of acknowledgement in his direction
I get into the elevator and press my floor button.
I open my door unsuspecting fiddling with the light switch before turning it on when I hear a bark and see a dog jumping into my arms.
"Sorry, I tried to calm him down but he was just so excited" Kim says coming out of my kitchen.
I looked back at the dog in my arms who was trying to lick my face.
"First, how did you get into my apartment and second why do you have a dog with you and third why do you look like that" I said, pointing at her hair which looked like...
"Oh my god. Did you have s*x?!!" I asked her.
She nodded sheepishly.
"Please tell me it wasn't in my apartment??!!" I say looking horrified at the thought.
"No, I didn't." she said before I cut her off with my rambling.
"Wait. But you just broke up with Callum on Friday an--" I said before she cut me off.
"Will you just let me talk for a second because you sure have a lot of questions you've asked and haven't given me the chance to answer" she said frustratedly.
Just then the dog decided to make its presence know once again by barking and I pat his head a go to sit down motioning for Kim to dobthe same.
"Okay her goes. I got into your apartment with the spare key you put under the doormat which I know about when you left your keys at in your car last week and the dog is a gift of appreciation to you for being the best friend I could ask for--" she said.
"Aww, thank you. I know I am, a lot of people tell--" I stopped talking when she leveled me with a glare.
"Well I did have s*x but the problem is it was with Callum" she said.
"He came over to my apartment apologizing for what he said and he said he's ready to settle down and I said no and before I knew it there was kissing and touching and then itwas kissing and touching and then it was no clothes and all and it was on my couch and all, then he told me he loved me and I realized what I had done then I left him at mines and cam here" she said in one breath.
"So I get to keep the dog and you had s*x in your living room?".
"So from all I said you only care about that" she said irritatedly and scoffed.
"Sorry but he's just so cute" I said while petting the dog while he slept.
The girl needs a friend and all you care about is the dog.
"Everything is going to be okay" I did pulling her into me.
"I think I should give him a chance" Kim sid fiddling with her fingers.
"I think so too but don't let grow to attached during early stage of the relationship and let him earn your trust back".
"Thanks Ellaie"
Putting the dog down on the couch I walk towards my bedroom.
"Im going to change Kim, I'll be right back".
"Okay, I'll be waiting".
"Ohhh, and don't eat all my ice cream before I get back".
"No promises".
With a small laugh I walk into my bedroom and take a shower before changing into shorts and a tank top.
"Damn girl, if I'd totally do you" Kim said after she let out a wolf whistle.
Recognizing the weird look on my face when she said that she turns back to eating her ice cream.
"Im more s*x starved than I thought" she said.
"You just f****d Callum" I said "you are just horny".
"Anyways how was you first day of work" she said excitedly.
"It was okay. My personal assistant is a hunk and complete Italian though he is a bit on the nerdy side--".
"Ohhh. Are you going to do him?" she said cutting me off.
"No, of course not. Why would you think that? I don't mix business with pleasure" I said looking horrified at the thought.
A moment of silence fell over us before I spoke.
"It seems like since you slept with Callum again all you've been thinking about is s*x".
"Well, thank you Virgin Mary."
"Thank you very much. Ill like to keep it that way until I meet the right guy."
Ignoring my staterment, she responds to my earlier comment.
"I just really like him you know. He is a gentleman and a really nice guy.
He's compassionate, which is essential because he's a doctor-." Wanting to stop her mid day dream, I opened my mouth to speak up but turns out, I didn't need to.
Just then the dog decided to wake up and he let out a loud bark to alert us of his presence.
"Sooo, your boss." Kim said looking at me creepily.
"What about him?"
"I told you about him after my interview"
"Do you like him?" she said going straight to the point.
"Of course not, I told you I don't mix business with pleasure".
I didn't realise just how wrong I was.
Larry's POV....
"Ohh, yes right there.." the girl in my bed said........
