I hurriedly walked from the elevator to my office. When I opened the door she didn’t notice. I closed the door and it made a bang. She jumped from the chair almost dropping the files.
When she saw me she clutched her chest breathing heavily. “You scared the hell out of me there. I didn’t expect anyone so early”. She said taking a deep breath.
“ Sleep didn’t knock at my door so I took advantage of the situation to come here and finish some work. But you know I don’t have much on my table. Thankfully your door opened.” She said chewing on the pen she was holding. I didn’t anything I just stood there thinking on what to do.
“I’m familiar with the work, I used to help you father with it specifically when he had a lot to do. I have noticed we are behind the truck in delivering to clients so I decided to help. Sorry I didn’t ask for your permission.” She said going back to what she was doing.
“You can review what I have done on those files. The only thing I can’t do is sign on them. So if everything is done correctly you can sign. Or tell me where you want me to change.” I furrowed my brows at her.
She stood to from my chair but I signaled her to sit. I sat on the chair for visitors an my office and took the first file. I was surprised at what she had done.
The notes ,the reviews the comments and she had given was what I could have given. If not she had done it better.
Going through five files I was sure she had done everything perfectly. Looking at the files she had done within an hour I could only have done it in a day.
I wasn’t yet used to the things in this office so I had to be slow but sure. I didn’t want to make mistakes.
The speed she had worked on showed she had been doing so for a long time and was used to it. If my father trusted her then why shouldn’t I?
By the time it hit 6:30 am my table had no untouched work. The work that had been giving me headache . The work that continually was adding up. I couldn’t hide the grin that cracked on my face.
Looking at her clearly for the first time today she looked fatigued. She had dark circles under her eyes. She Lean back at the chair yawning. Is everything Okay.
“ Is everything okay ? Why were you in the office so early? And you look as if you didn’t get any sleep!” I remarked speaking for the first time since I got in the office.
She was hesitant to answer my question. “ everything is fine, or other it will be fine”. She left me more confused.
“ Sir, can I ask for half a day off at least? We have worked on a lot already. I have some very urgent matter to attend to.” She seriously asked.
“ Well, it depends on what the urgent matter is.” I told her even though in my heart I had no problem giving her the whole day. I admired her for the work she had done today.
“ The thing is I have to look for a house to rent. And urgently actually.” She said face palming herself .she looked stressed talking about the topic. The last I remember she was staying with a friend. Unless she is looking for it on behalf of someone else.
“What happened to your own house. I mean the one you and your friend reside in?”
She let a half hearted smile looking at space. “She asked me out yester night. I couldn’t carry all my stuff during the night so she gave me up to today otherwise she will Throw them out.” She sighed.
Shock was an understatement. What could have conspired between them to lead to their fall out? I focused my gaze on her curiously.
“What? Why?.. did anything happen?” I asked.
“I want to blame you for it. But again I can’t . But the truck I you are the reason why I was driven out by my friend.” She looked serious.
She explained to me all the details and I couldn’t help but empathize with her. Her friend is a sadist otherwise how could she behave like that.
“I’m sorry for all that. And to think I was indirectly involved makes me more sorry. What can I do to help?” I sincerely inquired.
“Just permit me to take sometime off. Although I don’t know this area very well because I have never took time to travel around I’ll be just fine.?”
Looking at her appearance right now I couldn’t allow her go out alone. She looked as if she could fall at any minute. And it was early morning.
I stood and walked behind the chair. Her eyes moved with me probably wondering where I was going. I held her shoulders and slide her back to the chair.
She was startled and stiff. “ What are you doing sir?” she wanted to get away from my grip.
“Relax, I want to give you massage. You look exhausted. Just over your shoulders that’s all.” She let out Shaky breathe and relaxed.
I was watching her keenly as I messaged her shoulder. She closed her eyes enjoying every bit.
“ About yesterday, I’m sorry I got carried away and initiated that on the road. But I don’t regret it because I can do it again and again.” Her eyes opened clearly she didn’t except me to bring up that issue.
“Your sweet moans turned me on. I couldn’t help but fantasize about the things I could do to you. If we were in a different setting I’m not sure it would have ended like that.” I ran my mouth without thinking well.
Her thighs clench together clearly affected by my words. I guess you cannot hide body reactions no matter what.
“ Can we not talk about that. We are adults and are both responsible for whatever happened. So why talk about it.? She asked with black expression on her face.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t feel anything at all?” if she denies it will be a lie.
“ What do you want me to say? That I enjoyed getting entangled with my boss on the road? Yes it felt good if that is what you want to hear. But tell me, do you think I’m happy that I was thrown out of the house I have lived for over two years because of it. If my friend saw me how many people do you think saw us? Maybe I will appear on today’s news. When I say I don’t want is to talk about it then I mean it.” She was irritated clearly.
It was a silly thing to bring that issue up knowing what has happened. But I didn’t think before hand.
“ sorry about that.” I said walking back to my chair. “ you don’t look good when you are angry. You look like a scarecrow.”
“ Are you calling me names” she asked down tuning her lip to a coy smile. Can she be less beautiful? She always gives me a hard on.
“ I just wanted you to smile that’s all. You know you are always beautiful sweetheart.” I said raising my hands in surrender. “ please don’t accuse me wrongly.” She just stared at me without a word.
“ Back to the matter at hand. I think I have an idea.” She looked at me confused.
“What matter?”
“Are you being serious right now? I thought someone is homeless and was looking for a house? Or do you want to stay on the streets?” Her mouth firmed ‘O’ shape.
“ you are the one messing around and making me forget. You are so cunning and manipulating”. She said rolling her eyes.
“Just admit that I’m charming that’s why I confuse you.” I say winking at her.
“ whatever, you are so full of yourself. What about it? She asked.
“ I think I have an idea. That is if you will accept it.”
