One Nightstand With Mr Davis

Friends?

Regardless of her breath caught in her throat, she tried to get past him anxiously. She didn't want to annoy him at all and besides that avoiding him would be best for her mental health but he just said

"Hi. Good morning my name is Cain and you must be Marilyn our new secretary " He said bringing his hand out towards her gesturing for a handshake

She jerked her gaze towards Mr Davis for a second restraining from telling him to stop pretending because it was okay if he pretended not to know her. Lie! It broke her heart as such act

"Good morning" she said in a small voice

"So happy to have you here."

"Yea.... Yes thank you" And with that, she brushed past him outside to her 'office' and slumped onto the chair. She felt angry at herself for behaving that way. Why couldn't her dumb brain just go with the flow? Did she just have to ruin things for herself and partially for him?

"F U C K" she spelled out. A thing she always did when she was frustrated with herself. Why the spoon did she even care about his feelings when he didn't care about hers. And besides, where the hell was she supposed to start working from?

Before she could even get close to being frustrated and banging her head against the desk, the door of Mr Davis's office opened and the man himself walked out.

"Have a good day Miss Assman"

"Thank you sir" she said as he watched him enter the elevator and disappear inside. She wondered if he called her by her last name because of the ass inside or probably because that was the formal way of workers and their employers greeted themselves and the hell was he going.

No no. She thought Zayn was running the company? Oh, she was going to die. She slumped into the chair at that thought but before she could wallow in her sadness, the telephone beside her rang startling her and curiously, she answered it

"Good morning Miss Marilyn, can you spare me ten minutes of your time and see me in my office?"

She brought the telephone to her face so she could take a good look at it. She blinked and blinked again. What the spoon had Zayn turned into? Maybe she was just over reacting. Yes. He could have changed. Yea. So why the panic

"Miss, are you there"

"I'm so sorry. I'm coming right away " She let out air through her mouth as she stood up and walked to the door. She failed as she tried to control the rate at which her heart started to race and she hated it. Was it more than just an annoying man? Ugh. Whatever she thought and walked in

"Please sit"

Was he so polite to the extent that he didn't allow her to get to seat before he said please seat. She mimicked him in her head in disgust. She so badly wanted to tell him do bad to shut his mouth and be his real self because he was making her nervous

"So....." He cleared his throat. "I'm Cain and nice to meet you"

She only stared at him in disgust

"Since you're going to be my secretary for the week, I would say I'm so honored to meet you. Would you like me to fill you in the details of what and what you should do? I mean just in case you do not know"

She wanted to lash him out and lie that she did know but she kept quiet shocked that the man in front of her was being a jerk for suddenly becoming nice.

"Yes. I do know a few things,been working here and there since I was a teen but acquiring extra knowledge isn't too much right?"

He smiled at her, getting up from his seat to sit on the edge of the table in front of her. Great, now he's trying to seduce me, she thought. Before he could open his mouth to get a word out, she interrupted him

"One thing Zayn, I do not appreciate you being nice all in the name of wanting to seduce me. At least you've made it clear that you can't sleep with an under- "

"I'm not Zayn" Cain said calmly

"You know I won't buy that s**t from you. Tell me one thing ZAYN, what the hell do you think you'll gain from this cause I'm never ever sleeping with you again"

He laughed richly and as much as she hated the sound, she loved the way it sounded and felt in her ear in her body.

"Look, I totally understand your concern. Zayn is an asshole. I'm Cain like I had said earlier. Zayn is a twin and I am. We're twins, I'm sure he didn't tell you. Wait let me show you something" He said as he reached into the breast pocket of his suit, brought out a photo and showed it to her

Eying him, she reluctantly took it from him and lo and behold, it appeared to be true. Before her was a picture of when they were in middle school obviously. So much resemblance, she shook her head

"Well, what if you're Zayn and you're just pretending to be Cain?"

"Well, Zayn is very bad at pretending and I a pro" he winked " he has a dimple and I don't, see?" He said smiling " I can't blame you if you haven't noticed. And I also have a tattoo on my wrist so....."

"Okay "

"Can we get to work now?"

She nodded slowly

They talked till lunch time came and passed. Apparently so caught up in the subject they were talking about; random things. They'd switched from business mode to play mode without so much as realizing it and laughing really hard. Then, Cain's phone rang out loud interrupting their laughter while Marilyn waited patiently. And when he was done realized the time and fake gasped

"Do you care joining me for lunch at a restaurant nearby? "

"Why not yes. " She smiled at him " Is it lunch yet?"

"Forty-five minutes past even"

He said as they got up from their seats and walked out the door and into the elevator

"So, care to tell me why you hate my brother so much?" He asked as he lifted an hamburger to his mouth

"First of all, he's an asshole"

"Not new news" he shrugged lazily giving her that so much famous smile that wanted to make her melt

"Okay so, well, he approached me first. We met at a bar where I was privately celebrating my birthday that night. And as I got up to use the toilet, I collided with him and all so when u got out, he was right outside. He offered to take me home and all so I said yes. I was drunk. Okay so we f****d and barely twenty four hours later, your dad came over and he did too. And when he learned about my age he completely lost it"

He chuckled and she rolled her eyes taking a huge bite of her own lunch

"Well, you seem very tough than your age. With the look you were giving me earlier in the office, I was sure you were going to kill me"

She blushed terribly from embarrassment

"No, I wasn't. I was just annoyed you know because I thought you were Zayn"

"And if I hadn't clarified myself? "

"I would have done nothing"

"Liar" he laughed again

"Leave me" she huffed, rolling her eyes playfully

" Come-on, we'd better eat fast. We have a meeting in a few"

She stared as Cain spoke through out the meeting completely stunned. The meeting room was very large, as in very and it was beautiful and very formal. The workers were very very nice judging from the beautiful way they'd welcomed her when gain first introduced her. She was in love with everyone of them!

"Marilyn did you get that?"

She snapped her gaze up to Cain's with her brows raised. She'd been lost in thoughts

"I'm sorry what?"

Cain pinched the bridge of his nose with a hand and the other, on his hip. She blinked several times, mildly embarrassed as she looked around and then on her lap but Cain only smiled and repeated himself.

"So, you have to print all the documents Apple, Cashout, I can't start calling them out you know, between today and tomorrow. And by seven am sharp tomorrow I want the messages distributed to their respective departments"

She nodded slowly. So much work already, she thought as they both walked into the elevator and entered it

"Oh, and I want you to schedule the meetings with at anytime you deem convenient and mail it to them. Strike a deal okay, if it's gonna be between California, I want the meetings to follow each other ASAP"

"You mean days or like in a day "

"In a day, at least three"

"But what if it isn't between the town? How are you going to do it?"

"Make them come here. For outsiders, we'll go to them"

She jotted that down and then realising the use of the word 'we' in his sentence, tapped her pencil against her mouth and looked up at him

"What do you mean we?"

"You and I or well, depends can be you and Zayn whatever"

"What?! "

"What do you mean what? Don't give me that face" When the elevator stopped and opened he walked out of it heading straight for the door of his office and she followed him straight up

"Don't give you that face what?!" She said slamming her hand upon his table and he gave her a face making her go back to her senses

"I'm sorry."

"I don't care." He said pushing his hand up to mess up his perfectly beautiful hair and he moved around " It's okay if you don't wanna come. I'll have to borrow Zayn's PA. Emphasis on the borrow"

"No no. It's not about not going with you of course I'd love to go wherever with you. Mind you because I'll be visiting new countries since I've never been out of here since birth so... I'm talking about the part of being with Zayn. We're you not listening to me when I was ranting about how much I hate your brother at that restaurant?, " She breathed through her mouth "And I'm sorry again"

"Like I said earlier,I don't care. Every one hates Zayn. The women particularly and it's not new news anymore and within the short time of talking with you I know that you have a nasty habit of saying what's on your mind"

"Thank you". She said under her breath

"Well, I guess my father didn't tell you but three of us run the two companies like a shift. My mom takes the designing stuff. A family business?"

"Oh," She said her shoulders slumping. Yea, she had heard it before

"So, by next week, Zayn's gonna be here the next, probably me or dad. So please schedule the meeting to be in the next two weeks to prepare everything and get your passport done within that time. I'm gonna repeat it. I want my meetings scheduled by the end of tomorrow, the print out documents and the messages to the right departments understood? "

"Yes." She looked away "Sir"

"Call me Cain"

"No" She muttered

"Your problem" He said moving and seating on his chair "Any questions?"

"Apparently no. " She mumbled looking away and breaking the gaze

"I didn't get that. Can you repeat yourself?"

She rolled her eyes gazing at the table to hide it

"I saw that"

"Maybe you should stop going all Zayny on me"

"That's not a word" he said trying to conceal his smile. Just then his phone beeped and without looking at it, he stood up

"I said stop going on Zayn-y on me" She said as he grabbed his suitcase

"I'll try. In the meanwhile, get things done Marilyn, just because we are now friends does not affect work"

She stared blankly at him. They were friends already? Within what period? Was he kidding? She felt it sounded too good to be true in her ears. She trusted Zayn, of course that man wasn't a bastard

She looked away when he grinned

"I'm not worthy to be called your friend" she muttered

"What am I now, some god?" He grinned wider

"Stop playing with me. We just met today"

"Well, I guess if you've met my brother, you've met a part of me too."

"No, you too are so different"

"Okay Miss Marilyn. Goodbye, see you tomorrow" He said in a very formal voice

"Wait, are you leaving already?"

" Yes Miss"

"Stop"

"Why, Miss?"

"Okay," she cried. "I'll be your friend. I am your friend"

"Wow, forgive me for saying this ma'am, " he grinned, "But I think you're very idiotic. Friendship cannot be forced"

"I don't feel forced sir"

" Goodbye Miss Marilyn"

She rolled her eyes

"Goodbye Cain"
