Chapter 6 JJs Return
Susana Perez Thoughts
When I wake up at four am to get ready for work. I hoped that Mr. Johnson would like the work I put in these last couple of weeks of his absence. I feel proud of the time and effort I put in. I even worked off the clock at least 5 hours each day, but I wouldn't allow him to know that information. I just couldn't leave until I was done with each task. There was knots in my stomach but I have mastered plastering fake smiles and laughter. I can hide my pain well...
6am Susana's Thoughts
I show up to his beautiful hotel. To my surprise there are construction working all around. They are making renovations to the hotel... There are two extra add ons on each side from the looks of it there are eight rooms on the front end and I'm sure it's the same on the other side. Eight extra rooms to the many rooms they have now. Um..
I don't say another word and the butterflies won't stop because I know for a fact I will see him today. I say a emotion controlling spell on myself.. Lets see if this will work..
'Ding' that elevator bell is really starting to get to me, but I brush it off and head to the office that I put a lot of work into. I stop at his door for a minute and I take a few deep breaths in through my nose and out of my mouth.. I tell myself 'You can do this'
I knock before I enter and I can feel something off right when I shut the door behind me. He is standing at his desk with a blank face. It almost as if he is trying to figure out what he wants to say. He clears his throat and says in a calm but husky voice "Susana I want to start off by saying my apologies for underestimating you. You are by far the best PA I have ever had besides a few at the beginning. But.."
He stops himself and he decides to continue "There are a few files I would like to go over with you and I seen my calendar and I have the reminder synced into my phones and Ipad. You did a marvelous job and I want to hire you. Just put this your job description until advised otherwise...

Make sure to double check the numbers.. Be very thorough about all the information. I don't want to have to pay the amount I am short now. Especially with the property taxes going up.
You can always text if needed and I will reply as soon as I can.
As I am reading through his list I can feel a smile on my face. I have always wanted to just stay busy and keep it professional, but with him I can't help it he is just so fit and hard all over. I quickly hide my thoughts and reply "Yes sir will do and it will be done by tomorrow. And the Monthly reports will be done weekly then monthly. Is there anything I can do for you?"
He looks like he is hiding his gentle eyes, then he replies "No Susana I have everything covered. Thank you." She nods her head and leaves the room.
Jay's Thoughts
I wonder where her doberman was. Um I see her turn to her left instead of right and I get curious. I start to come out but I see she is carrying two containers.. What the f**k? If she was hungry I would have fed her..
Where are my possessions going?. I decide to follow her. When I walk outside I see she doesn't have a vehicle but riding a snow white horse toward the dark forest... Um very interesting... I will follow her through all the way. If she can I sure know I can..
As I enter the cave she has entered I hear praise and laughter and music. Uum I wonder what is going on... as I walk through the pathway there are candles lit along each side of the pathway. It is a beautiful sight to see how the light from the fire glistens across the cave walls.
When I walk in I see hundreds of people sitting around tables and chairs along the cave wall. They had a semi big fire going to roast the wild hog they conquered today. I think to myself we have actual food at my hotel so that everyone can eat, but they would rather live in the cave ages.
I see Susana sitting with a group of woman and men and they are serving my food! I hold my tongue and sit back and see what kind of people she hangs with. I see a five foot eight man come up to Susana and she looks annoyed. He grabs her by her arm and she threw him back at least twenty feet. He crashed into a table that had the drinks on.
It was silent for two seconds and everyone starts to go after the man that was bothering Susana. I get out of there as quickly as I can when I arrive outside I see her and she is staring off into the waters.
I see the wind blow through her green silked dress and she shivered. I come up to her not sure what to say but I blurt out "Hey Susana do you need a jacket?" I take my jacket off and offer it to her. She took a minute and then accepted and said "Thank you kind sir. I'm sorry you had to see.. Wait why are you here? This is your type of fun?" She laughs at her last assessment.
I give her a smirk and reply "I can get crazy too." She laughed and retorted "Oh really what kind of fun do you have.. Now I am not talking about work. I am talking about actually have a all fun laughing until your crying and stomach is hurting time?"
I get a flash of Justina and I start to close up but she interrupts me "Hey no worries Mr. Mysterious no pressure. I am just your PA." I want to relish in her, her eyes her lips, her witty responses.. I having falling and I can't get out of it.
She gets an unsettling facial expression and I start to say something, but everyone starts to come out and strips down. I think to myself what the f**k? Then I see Susana strip down and they all run into the water. Wow she sure has some interesting friends.
I decide it's time for me to go home and think about this debacle. I can't handle having someone else. That is one of the reasons why Christina left.. I always called her Justi, or confused her with a lot of things I did with Justina. I couldn't give Christina the love I gave to Justina and I didn't ever think I would feel this way.
I look at them all play in the water with no care in the world. I wish I could be a little more carefree..
As I am walking home because I didn't feel like driving I hear someone behind me calling my name "Mr. Johnson!" I look back and I see Susana. Why is she walking?
She catches up to me out of breathe "You... Are... Fast..." She holds up her unmanicured finger and says "You are fast sir. Whooo.." I smile at her and ask "How can I help you Ms. Perez?" She crinkles her face and replies "Sir your walking home.. I am your PA I need to at least make sure you are safe to ensure my job."
We both smile and start to walk enjoying the evening air...
