Working With Temptation

Chapter 3

 I apologise in advance for and spelling mistakes as I haven’t really edited it.

I woke up to my Bruno Mars ‘The lazy song.’ I reached under my pillow and turned off my alarm plonking my head back down. I’m really not bothered to get up. I think I’ll-

 I bolted up in my bed. It’s my first day at work today and I was going to go back to sleep. I still didn’t know if Chris came back home last night. “Chris!” I shouted. No response, I guess he didn’t come back since he would be awake by now no matter what time he slept. Groaning I dragged my body to my en-suite bathroom. I undressed and got into the shower.

 As I felt the steaming hot water pour down my tanned skin I relaxed losing myself to the feel. After washing my hair with strawberry scented shampoo I got dressed. I was wearing a black dress which showed off my lovely curves. For shoes I was wearing cream stiletto with cream pearl earrings and necklace. I left out my pearl bangles as they would make too much noise and I didn’t want to attract more attention than necessary.

 I went down stairs to the kitchen and grabbed myself a breakfast bar from the cardboard. While eating I was going around the house finding all my files and equipment I would need for today at work.

 Today was the first time I would meet my boss. I haven’t actually seen him before even though he is famous. I’ve only read about him and heard he’s drop dead gorgeous. I’ve thought about researching him but I want to see him for the first time in person. I put on my sexy beige waist coat with my black bag and left my apartment.

 I had decided not to take my car and just enjoy the walk since it was only 20 minutes away. I popped into Starbucks to get myself a low caffeine coffee. Walking across the park I noticed a child had fell down and was crying. I walked over to the little boy and bent down to his height.

“Hi cutie let me help you with that,” I put on a reassuring tone to help sooth him. I took out a wipe and a plaster from my bag. By then the little boy had stopped crying. I noticed that the boy was extremely cute and would grow up to break many female hearts.

“May I?” I asked holding up the wipe. He nodded and I place the wipe over the cut cleaning the wound. I then took the plaster and smoothed it over. I placed the remains in the bin and stood up.

“There you go. All better. My name is Rose what's your name?” I asked.

“Jayden,” he said. Awww he was so cute.

“Well Jayden can I can you Jay?”He nodded. “I need to go to work now but I need you to promise me something. Can you try not to fall today?”

“Yeah,” he replied

“Thank you, bye Jay!” I said starting to carry on walking to work.

“Bye Rose!” He shouted after me. I smiled and carried on walking. I was running behind on time so had to walk fast to get there in time. I made it there with five minutes to spare. I took a deep breath and walked into the building. The building loamed over me. It had about 25 floors and I was on the top as I was the sectary of the main boss. There were so many people coming in and out of the different doors surrounding the building. I walked through the clear, gleaming, automatic doors and headed towards the familiar elevator. I knew where I was going since I had come here for my job interview. I held my head high and walked as if I belonged here. I pressed the button and after 30 seconds of waiting it reached ground floor. It opened revealing 6 men and 2 women coming out. After allowing them to exit first I stepped in to the lift. Just as the doors were closing a man was heading in a rush toward it. I pressed the open button and the man came in.

“Thank you,” he said breathing heavily.

“What floor?” I asked as the door closed.

“Seven,” he said as I pressed it. I took a good look at him. He looked as if he was in his 50. He had sweat patches visible on his shirt and hair like Homer Simpson.  We reached seventh floor and the doors opened.

“Thank you again,” he said walking out.

“You’re most welcome,” I replied just before the door shut. Soon it would be my turn to leave the elevator. As the lift went up each floor I became more and more confident and straightened my posture. I walked out the lift with my back straight, shoulder back and head high. As I walked past a group of people I noticed them turning their head to focus on me. One of the guys was drooling. That’s funny; it's only 9:05. I walked toward the reception but it more like I was strutting.

“Excuse me I’m here as the new sectary for Mr Smith, he’s expecting me.” I said confidently giving her a genuine smile. This woman was very pretty. She had blonde hair and deep blue eyes.

“Yes, Mr Smith is expecting you. Take your first right and straight down, you can’t miss it." She said smiling. 

“Thanks,” I said walking towards his office. Turning back I said, “Oh and I really like your top by the way.” She smiled in response and carried on walking. A few heads spun my way but I hardly noticed them. I came to a stop when reached his door. I took a deep breath and knocked three times.

“Enter,” I heard him say. I walked in to see a gorgeous man sitting on a huge desk. He had the most amazing green eyes and sandy blonde hair. You could tell he worked out as you could see the shape of the biceps even under the suit. I made sure I kept my face neutral as I walked toward his desk. At the corner of my eyes I could see how impossibly massive this room really was. I thought how lonely it would be being in this big room alone all the time. I stopped a few feet away from his desk waiting for him to look up.

“Ah Rosetta Evens I’ve been expecting you,” he stated

At that moment he looked up and I was surprise to see a familiar face looking back at me, smirking.
