Chloe didn't know what to do. There is no morale left in her this morning. She had walked into her office quietly and had made for her desk. Maybe she is not too good in playing cards. She had knew Ashton to be a great player and maybe he had started playing his cards now. With her and Mike.
She walked in briskly and sat down. She had promised Mrs Geoffrey she is bringing the school fee today but she didn't know how the miracle is going to happen.
"Hi Chloe. Good morning." Ariel greeted has she came in with her usual vapour.
"Ola Ariel! Morning."
"How was your weekend?"
"Not too bad."
She puts down her bag and made for the store room.
"No much work today please Ariel." She begged.
"We are here to work Chloe. You'll get used to it." She called back.
Chloe heaved.
She has more going on in her mind. Money.
She didn't want her son thrown out of the school and of course asking Ashton for help is out of the blue. She has been managing her life with the boy for the past six years, she can do the same now.
Few hours later, she got a call from Mike and she rushed down to his office.
"I was hoping maybe you can....." He didn't finished his statement before moving close to her. He had already loosen the upper three button of his shirt and she gulped. She instantly felt the thirst. The thirst of his kiss. She keep on licking her tongue secretly. She had better prepared herself for the task ahead. She knew what he wants and he has what she needs. Perfect.
He advanced towards her and hold the collar of her blouse.
"You are so beautiful Chloe." He commented.
"So they say."
"I really don't want it to happen at my place of work. But I really don't care. You see Ashton, he knows everything. He didn't mind. And others can just f**k off."
"Cool."
He slowly loosen the button of her blouse.
"Why?" She asked.
"I love touching the breast." He said slowly.
He started caressing the breast and she started moaning slowly.
"Let's move to the desk." She said as they moved backward.
She had her back to the desk as she rubbed her palm with his bare chest. He made for the tilt and landed his mouth on the n*****s and she groaned while he winced. When she realised he is turning restless, she knew the time had come. She pushed him away gently.
"What?" He asked restlessly.
"I need your help. I wanted to pay my child's school fee?"
"Will hundred be enough?" He asked absent mindedly.
"Why not?" She answered with a bit enthusiasm.
He dipped his hand in the drawer and extracted the bundle and tossed it on the table. Seeing the money, chloe clutched to him and started licking his neck like she used to do to Bryan. Who knows maybe she loves s*x. There are some stuff she had made herself believe isn't true about her but they always turned out to be the real picture of who she is. She had loved s*x.
Mike loosen his trouser and his underwear was plain white. He smells nice and so she lost herself in the fantasy. That's what she wants. s*x.
She fumbled with her skirt for some time before she eventually unzipped. He made for her pants and go straight for her opening. She moaned. That's damn all right. Money was all that matters. After money, Mike never existed in her life. But truth be told, he seems to be pretty good than Bryan. Something is amiss with Bryan, but with Mike now,it feels like the old Bryan. But she knows it's all dangerous game.
Ten minutes into the fantasy land and they were done. She grabbed the note and made for the door.
"You're good Chloe. We'll be seeing much of each other." He said satisfactorily.
This time, she didn't frown, she only smiled. At least, she had gotten what she wanted. She rushed down to her desk only to be welcomed by Ariel's frowning face.
"Don't let Mike get to you Chloe." She admonished.
"What did you mean?"
"There are lots going on around here Chloe. Until you open your ears and listen, open your eyes and look, I'm afraid you'll end up like every other catch."
"Catch? I've heard that word before." Chloe said trying to recollect where she had heard it.
"The Chief needs your help. His PA isn't around. He wanted to attend a meeting. I was hoping maybe you can stand in for him."
"The Chief?"
"Ashton."
"No Ariel. I need to attend to my son's school right now. I was hoping maybe you can give me thirty minute break."
"It was an order Chloe."
"An order? From who?"
"The Chief himself."
"Why will it be me?"
"It wasn't you last week Chloe it was someone else. And now it's you. And moreover, almost everybody wants to go out with the CEO, why do you looked so clumsy?" Ariel observed.
Instead of answering, Chloe grabbed her bag and headed to Ashton's office with rage.
When she entered, Sienna was sitting on his lap with her glass of wine and Ashton was closely enjoying the moment. She almost hissed out loud.
"Good morning." She announced her presence.
"Oh!" Ashton jabbing to life and making to excuse Sienna from his lap.
"You must be Chloe?" He asked looking straight into her face with a clear shot.
"Yes sir." She answered gritting her teeth.
"You should get ready by twelve. I need you to go out with me."
"That's not my job here sir so I must say. I still have a load of work on my table and some important place to attend after work." She declined.
"It's a good privilege given to you. You are so lucky to be chosed. The work of the PA is no joke. You've got to meet alot of people and dine with alot of people. It's a one day enjoyment." Sienna pointed out.
"I can actually apply for the post of PA if I feel like dining with the wine of the society or mingle with the gurus. I really love my post and I sure can as well manage that." She blurted out stubbornly. She can't make him use her and this is the start of it. It has to stop.
"You're pathetic!" Sienna spits. And she winced happily to herself.
Ashton looked at her for a while and he lurked a smile at the corner of his mouth. He is beginning to love the game. It's just the start.
