Lily Carson has found herself a new job. Little does she know that it could possibly change her life for the better.
Carlos Malenkov is a mafia leader. He's ruthless until he lays eyes on the most angelic girl he's ever met. He wants her and he must...
The next morning I wake up in Carlos' bed. I try to get up but then an arm stops me. I turn around to see Carlos sleeping peacefully beside me. I attempt to move his arm from around my waist but it only tightens around me.
"Don't do that." I hear him mumble.
So he's awake. I have a job to get to and I fell asleep with my boss? I hope this doesn't affect anything.
"I need to get dressed for work Carlos," I say trying to remove his arm again. Then I realize I'm in the same bed as him.
"I thought I said I wanted to sleep in a guest room?" I ask him.
"You did, but you never said anything about sleeping in the same bed as me," Carlos says.
"Sleeping in a guest room also applies to me not sleeping in the same bed as you," I say and struggle against his grip.
He reluctantly lets me go after giving my waist a squeeze. I head to the bathroom and go get ready for the day. I find something in the closet which looks presentable.

I head back out to see the room empty. Carlos must have left downstairs. Today is my first day working for Carlos. I hope it goes well.
I head downstairs to see Madi and Jules watching tv. Well, I guess this is their second home from now on.
"Morning," I say
"Morning Lily, did you sleep well last night?" Jules asked wiggling her eyebrows. I know what she's thinking and no. That's gross, sleeping with my boss?
"Ew Jules! Sleeping with my boss would not be a good reputation. Especially in a world like this," I say to her.
She shrugs. "Anyway I really think we should head back to our place today. We have rents to pay and the due date is almost up," I add.
"Fine." Jules sighs and turns off the tv. "But I'm taking all the clothes and goodies with me." She says and runs to her room to start packing. Madi soon does the same. Well, that was easier than I thought.
I take a cab and head towards my new workspace. I am greeted by Flynn who takes me to my working area. I set myself down. I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing. Then a lady comes to me.
"Hi, I'm Alice. Mr. Malenkov's personal assistant. I'm here to take you to his office." She says with a smile.
I get up and follow her. We enter an elevator that I had taken the first time I came here for the interview. We exit the elevator and head towards his office. She knocks on the door allowing me inside. Then she leaves the room.
"Take a seat amore." He says with a smile on his face.
"You can stop calling me that now, it's weird," I say.
"I'm giving you a personal assistant." He says straight forward.
"Why? I don't need one." I say nervously.
"But I want to give you one." He says. "Dominic, come." He says his voice stern.
Dominic steps forward which I didn't even know he was in the room. He stands beside Carlos.
"Lily this is Dominic, he will be your personal assistant," Carlos says. "you can get to work, Dom will show you what to do." With that he excuses us.
I sit at my desk while Dom hands me some papers. "These are just information you need to know what your job Miss," Dom says.
I look through the papers. Job payment: $70 per hour.
I reread that again. $70 per hour?! No way. This is like ten times the amount I use to get paid for. I really must thank him for this.
I am doing my job and I must say it's going pretty well. There are some things that I won't know how to do but Dom will help me. I still don't understand why he wants to give me an assistant.
Then a perky girl walks up to my desk. Her curls bouncing as she skips towards me.
"Hi, you must be the new girl." She says with a smile.
"Yes. Can I help you?" I ask her.
"Yeah, I'm Jamie number one worker around here. Everyone knows me," She says and flips her her.
"Okay? Is there anything I can do for you?" I ask her getting annoyed.
"Oh, nothing it's just that went you went to use the restroom I couldn't miss the amount you're getting paid for this job." She says confusion etched into her voice.
"I don't know what you're talking about," I say wishing she would just leave me alone.
"Oh well the rest of us here get paid at least $50 per hour and you seem to have gotten 20 more dollars than the rest of us?" She questions.
"Oh I don't know I can talk to Carl--Mr. Malenkov about this." I respond trying to sound nice.
"That would be great. I think it's fair all of us get the same amount. You know?" She says her voice peppy. Then she walks away.
Why would Carlos do that?
I'll just ask him when I get home. Wait- did I call that place home? No, I meant when I get back to Carlos' house. Yeah, Carlos' house. Definitely not mine and will never be.
My shift is finally over and I return back to my apartment. It's 6:00 in the night time. I take a shower and find something to eat for dinner. Then I binge watch an old Netflix show until I fall asleep.
Tomorrow, I will ask Carlos about my job payment since that Jamie girl asked so.

Jamie is the worst right? Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed this episode! :)
