Tailored Desires: Love in Stitches

Chapter three

“Don’t forget your place. I’m the boss here, this is my domain”, Clara said to her spitefully.

“Was your domain, Clara. I don’t know about the others but this booth is my domain. Now get the f**k off. I won’t say it again!”, Rosella said back. She was already irritated from not having breakfast and Clara was crossing the line.

Clara looked her up and down and walked away. The entire room went silent as they stare at her going to another booth. The gossips that was going to hit the entire company during lunch break would be massive and Clara didn’t want people to ridicule her.

She put her box on her new booth desk and pulled out her lipstick from the bag. She applied it on her lips using the mirror in her purse and walk off to see an old friend.

Jamie watched from the camera footage how Rosella put Clara in her place and it intrigued him. When saw her for the first time he couldn’t help but stare longer. Her amber colored eyes, her jawline, her rich wavy brunette hair and her bright pink lips caught his attention.

He even watched her as she walked out of his office because she walked like a beauty queen. He had no idea Clara was going to be a b***h and he was glad he witnessed it.

Rosella finished arranging her booth and finally sat down. She noticed people were greeting her and being nice to her and she wondered if it was because she put Clara in her place.

“Rosella, boss asked me to bring some documents to you”, her fellow colleague said to her.

“Oh, *merci*”, she said to her causing the lady to stare.

“Oh you speak French or you’re from France?”, the lady asked and continued “You don’t look like yours from around here”.

“I’m from France”, Rosella said to her. “What’s your name?”, she asked.

“I’m Kimberly”, the lady said. Kimberly looked like an average New Yorker with her baggy boyfriend jeans and a body suit.

“Did you pair this with an oversized structure coat”, Rosella asked her.

“Of course girl, it’s the typical New York look, what do you mean!”, Kim said excited and in awe of Rosella’s fashion sense.

They both laughed and Rosella was glad she already made a friend.

“Hi, old friend”, Clara said as she walked into the office of the reports analyst, Adam. He prints office gossip and information within the company.

“Friend?”, Adam asked sarcastically. He and Clara were having an affair and he wanted to make her his girl but she refused to make it official.

She just wanted them to have s*x with no string attached and since he couldn’t, she left him and concentrated on how to get the boss.

“Yes, we used to make love”, Clara said sitting on his desk and raising her skirt up with her index finger.

Adam swallowed at the sight of her thighs and he stood up slowly.

“I miss you”, she said and he didn’t hesitate in kissing her.

Rosella went through the documents on her desk and sighed. She just got here and now she’s going to fix the mess up Clara made. She looked at both orders and saw they both have same name but different signature. Clara had used the documents of one order for another order and now they’re all confused.

Jamie already told her that both orders are from old clients from the previous month so she went through the old files in her booth but couldn’t find it. She walked to Kim to ask for help.

“Hey Kim, do you know where I can find the documents for old orders for last month?”, she asked.

“Of course, it’s in the boss’s office and it’s computerized too”, Kim replied. Rosella thanked her and walked to Jamie’s office.

After knocking once she went in and saw Jamie looking at his laptop screen closely. He looked up as soon as she got in and she froze again. His looks just have a way of surprising her every time.

He had blue eyes with very dark locks of hair that fell over his forehead in a lazy way. He looked very muscular in his suit and she wondered how packed he was under all that clothes.

“Want something?”, he asked her looking at the documents in her hands.

She shook her head lightly and walked away from the door.

“I need the order documents from last month”, she told him.

“Oh it’s in my laptop, I have transferred them to your system yet. I’ll do that later, for now you can use mine”, Jamie said nicely and shifted his chair away. He picked up the other chair and placed his next to his and urged her to seat.

Rosella sat next to him and she caught a whiff of his cologne. Everything about him screamed luxury and she found it very sexy.

Jamie could smell her feminine body mist around her and mixed with his cologne it gave a very nice scent. It felt like their aura was matching, a dominant man and his soft woman.

Rosella went through the documents on his laptop and finally found one that had same signature on one of the documents she was holding. She looked at the clients hand writing and saw that it matched.

“I think I may have found the owner of the second order”, she said with excitement forgetting for moment that Jamie was still in the office with her.

“I see, thank you. You’re really smart and we’re happy to have you here”, Jamie said with relief. He was going nuts and this angel just solved his problems.

Rosella smiled and looked down shyly.

“I heard about what happened transpired in your booth between you and Clara. I apologize on her behalf. Her father is a very nice man and I’m only keeping her here because of his nice deeds when he was alive”, Jamie admitted to her.

Rosella nodded and she stood up.

“Feel comfortable with your colleagues and feel comfortable with your superiors too”, Jamie said and she nodded.

Unknowingly to them, Ana, Clara’s wing man saw them siting close to each other as Rosella didn’t close the door. She cursed Rosella inwardly and rushed off to find Clara.
