WANT TO LOVE YOU.

090

The first thing that caught my eye as she walked into my office, well Mikhail's office at the company headquarters, was the red lipstick coating her lips, I had a sense of deja vu.  Two weeks had passed since the day I found that lipstick stain and I always felt that the stain was put there deliberately even though I did not know who was the culprit till now. Which I eventually never asked Mikhail about since my home was very loving and peaceful and I did not want to disturb that. Watching her walk up to me I noticed she dressed well and had a great body even though the length of her skirt was a bit too revealing.

" Misses Mansa?."

She looked surprise to find me behind the bosses chair.

" Sorry to come in here without an appointment but when I heard the boss was in, I thought they meant Mikh_.."

She quickly corrected herself but I had my eyebrows raised at that she was calling my husband by his first name. Something told me it was no mistake but I let her continue.

"...I mean mister Mansa so I decided to bring the files he had asked me to bring."

" You can put them there, I'll go through them when I am done with my work."

" No disrespect but these are confidential company files that only mister Mansa and I are authorized to look at."

" Well ..."

I said waiting for her to introduce herself and in that moment I realized that this was my first time seeing this woman. As many people as we had working here, I knew everyone here. She must have been hired while I was home and as usual Mikhail did not inform me.

" I am Kendall _ his accountant."

" Well Kendall as his wife_"

I put emphasis on his as she did. She was not about to claim my husband or intimidate me because of a crush she had on Mikhail.

" I have enough authority to go through these files just like I have the authority to hire and fire who ever I deem incompetent in my husband's company."

" I  am sorry but being his wife does not give you the authority to do as you please."

She is brave.

" Young lady as the chief executive officer-"

" Chief exec_ that's not possible, since when?!. I _ we were not informed of this."

What did Mikhail give this girl that makes her think that she can question me. I was trying to keep calm considering where we were but she was really testing me.

" My husband and I do not answer to you or anybody here and if you would have been present at the company meeting a week ago you would have known."

" I was not aware of-."

" Not my problem now as I was saying_ as c.e.o of this here company I suggest you learn how to appropriately address your superior before action is taken against you. Again leave those files here."

Before she walked out I recalled the earring. I had a strong feeling it was hers. Mikhail had kept it in the desk drawer.

" oh Kendie I picked this up, I am guessing it belongs to you?."

" Thanks_ it must have came off when we kissed. Here's his cufflink."

Do not give her the satisfaction Baina!
