1351 Words
Later that night, it might amuse you to know that I have been in the same position in the sitting room sleeping till now, I finally wake up and my phone starts ringing, it's an unknown number, i answer it anyway,
"Boss?”
"Just call me Alex Marylin we are not at work"
"Umm okay...
"Are you okay?...
"Yeah, I am okay...
"I am outside your house, I decided to return your car by myself"
I quickly rush to the window and peep, and he is there, "I will be right outside"
I arrange myself and look around, he must not come in here, so messy, I hurry outside, and he is a big baggy pants and a black hoodie,
"Hi" He smiles, and I blush,
"Good evening, thank you for returning the car" I scratch the back of my neck, and he smiles showing off his perfect set of teeth,
"You look messed up, have you been sleeping all day?"
I touch my hair, oh my flipping days, for real!, "Uh..I laugh and quickly arrange my hair,
Eric suddenly arrives, he walks up to us and stands staring at me and then at him,
"Umm, Eric, meet Alex, Alex, meet Eric, my...
"The foolish bestfriend?"
Okay, he wasn't meant to say that in front of Eric, Eric chuckles and murmurs,
"The foolish.. "And you must be the 'my man' ", he snaps staring at him eyeball to eyeball, they are the same height, Alex chuckles and stares at me,
"I came to check up on you and bring you food, so I will just be on my way"
Eric turns and leaves, Alex is still staring at me, he breaks into a smile,
"You also owe me a ride, you were tipsy last night so I had to drive you, so yeah you owe me"
"What?"
"Yes so please hurry and come pay off your debts" He gets into the car,
Oh God! I get into the car and drive off to where I don't know"
" Your best friend doesn't seem to like me" he said pushing the sit backwards and laying down,
"No, he is not always like that ...you know, grumpy...we had a little issue earlier.
"Mm okay, so where are we headed?"
"I don't know, yesterday you didn't tell me what exactly I came over for...
"Well I didn't call you, Micheal did"
"Oh right" I park at a corner, "I don't know where I am going"
"Well here is a perfect view"
I had stopped on a lonely street,
"Perfect view? I mean there's no view"
"I love quiet"
"Oh okay,”, I push my own sit backwards and lay down, "So you want to tell me about those guys from last night?"
He smiles, "I mean yeah if you agree to be my mistress so I can know I have your full trust"
I laugh; this man says, "It's okay I don't need to be your mistress to keep your secrets.
He sits up, "You think I have secrets?"
"I mean you killed those people the other night"
He chuckles again and lay back, I pick up my phone to check the time and he also picks up his own, my phone rings immediately and oh f**k,
"So why do you make me your man without my consent?"
"Uhm, I wasn't the one-, I just-
I stammer swinging my phone trying to find something to say, the phone slips from my hand and falls between his legs,
"You don't expect me to pick that up uh?"
I gently shake my head no and slowly bend to reach for it, I pick it up and try to raise myself but there's no space to rest my hand since he was sitting up, I manage to push myself up but I lose balance and, oh f**k no no no, why am I so clumsy, my hands rest on his..., I quickly remove it and sit back, I hit my head on the roof, "Ouch"
I can feel his eyes, his smirk! All over me, oh my days! What was I thinking,
"We should go home it's getting late" I start the car and drive home,
"So how will you get home?" I ask still feeling his eyes on me,
"My chauffeur is on his way" He replies and chuckles, we both get down, and I’m forced to look into his eyes,
"Thank you for returning the car"
He moves over and holds my hand, then he brings his face closer to mine, I close my eyes tight,” My days", I open my eyes and he smiles and rubs my cheeks,
"I will see you on Monday, personal assistant" He smiles and walks down the road, I turn, run inside the house, and hold my chest tight, oh God.

As I prepare for work on Monday, my mother's voice keeps ringing in my ear, telling me to quit the job. A job I just got? C'mon, she must be tripping; I put on my shoes, lock my door, get into my car and drive off to work.
***
Immediately I park my car in the parking lot; last night's scenario crips in, and I start blushing hard; how the hell will I face this man, I bite my lower lip and smile, I bring out a mirror and check my face, perfect.
I walk past Donnie and some other colleagues, and they murmur inaudibly; I shake my head past counting my steps because why not? I am getting everything I want, it's making a wish, and it's happening immediately.
I walk past my former office and see Micheal, and the way he was handling the job, each file for each purpose was kept separate, I stand there staring at him with this anger or maybe it's just jealousy, he turns and sees me, he relaxes and raises his left eyebrows and smirks, bruh, I roll my eyes and head towards Mr Sang's office.
I knock and enter, he looks up and smiles,
“good morning”, I say flashing out my most expensive smile,
“you look good and your dress is sexy…
Sexy!, oh great, my cleavages are out so fuckin’ out, I smile weirdly and drag my tube up to cover my cleavages, I look up and meet his piercing eyes staring at me, okay this is awkward,
“umm, is there.., do I…, I see piled up documents on his desk, “Are these for the staff? I will give it out to them”
“Get me coffee”, He says finally and goes back to his computer, chuckling as he does, I excuse myself.
Before getting coffee, I first go to the convenience, making sure no one is using any of the toilets, I lock the convenience door,
“Why do you keep opening?”
I drag my tube up again to cover my cleavages, my high-waist pants bring out my curvy body, I smile as I admire myself,
“Now let's get that coffee”
Just as I was about to leave, my mom's call came in,
“Mom ”
“I hope you are at home, Lin?”
“No!, I am at work Mom geez”
“Marylin you are not listening to me”
“I am; it's you that's not listening!” Frustrated, I end the call and leave the convenience to get coffee.
From afar, I could see Micheal in Mr Sang's office through the window, I hurried to eavesdrop, who knows what he was telling him about me, but when I got there and eavesdropped, I heard him say something about Gordito, the man Mr Sang shot, he continues talking on and on about some girl being involved, I hear Mr Sang ask him if he took care of the girl, and Micheal doesn't respond, someone starts approaching the door and I quickly run to a corner and hide, Micheal steps out and looks around before going back inside.
I remain where I am until Micheal finally leaves the office.
