Two weeks have passed, and l've learned that nis name is Ashton. He is 28 years old while his brother is 40. They were both unmarried and orphans, as their parents have passed away in a car accident when Steve was fifteen and his brother only three. They have been in foster homes for a while. Steve was very protective towards his brother. He didn't want to be separated from
Ashton until an old couple adopted both. They both attended top universities and they were both master's in finance. Steve invested the money left from their adoptive parents and, in 5 years, with arduous work and dedication he managed to build one of the biggest companies in the country. His brother focused on studies and gaining experience overseas. Up until now when Steve decided that is time for his brother to come back and run the business with
him, giving him half of it.
I only saw Steven once in these two weeks. On the other hand, Ashton pretended as if nothing happened on my first day of work, making me feel comfortable around him. They were both the perfect gentlemen.
As I was translating some documents the phone started to ring
. " Come into my office"...said Ashton" bring me a cup of coffee please and
make one yourself"... he continued.
" As you know next week's meeting with Carson Corporation is particularly important, it could secure a huge contract with them, bringing us millions of dollars. We must go through each detail of the presentation, to count the pros and cons, to make sure everything is perfect"... he said looking at me.
" We must work overtime. even over the weekend...
I will pay the over time " ...he continued staring at me.
" Of course, Sir"... I replied, knowing I have nothing planned for the whole week and nobody is going to miss me at home.
" Good! " ...he says, moving toward me. He pats me on my shoulders..." now
let us get all the paperwork ready."
I head back to my desk to print out all the paperwork needed. When I finished it was already past working hours' time.
I arrange all documents neatly and when I am about to head back into his office he came out ready to leave.
" Do you have all the documents ready? " he asks.
"Yes sir but..."
He looks at me... " I forgot to tell you that we are going somewhere else. I do not like spending evenings in the office"...he says, smiling at me.
" Now grab your things and
let's go! " ...pointing at me to follow him.
I grab my handbag, check if I have my phone on me, pick the documents, and follow him making sure to turn the light off behind me.
We take the stairs and instead of heading towards the main entrance, we walk
down the basement where the parking was.
He looks behind gesturing to keep follow him. As we pass by five other cars, he stops in front of a blue sports car, hops in it and motion to follow him inside. I open the door and sit on his right side, as it was a two-seater one.
" Now buckle up and hold tight"... he smirks, speeding towards the exit.
