Working With Temptation

Chapter 9

This chapter is kinda short but 've updated now three days in a row. Yay me!!!

ROSE’S POV

I woke up and got ready for work. I wore a black suit with green accessories. I grabbed an apple on the way to the door. Just before I opened the door I noticed that I had a voice mail on my mobile phone. I would listen to it on the way.

“Bye Chris,” I called out, not waiting for his response.

I walked down to work at a relaxing pace. I place my phone against my ear listening to my voice mail. “Hi babe this is Jessica. My house is being redecorated so the barbecue will be in three months rather then this month. I hope that isn’t a problem for you. Call me soon, bye.”

I silently thanked God for this news. It was a good thing it been postponed because I still haven’t had time to find a boyfriend. “Especially since you have my tongue in your boss’s mouth,” part of my brain reminded me. Gosh, I never should have kissed him. Today was probably going to be awkward and I hate it when things are tense.

I ran and smoothly slid into the lift before it closed. I smiled, knowing I still had the body I had when I was a cheerleader. It was packed and everyone was either on their work phones of staring off into space. Since I worked at the top floor I had to consistently move out the way for people to pass. With all the moving around, you would think I’m Mrs. Incredible. Eventually there was only me and another guy in the elevator. He was so sexy it was a challenge for me to not stare. We still had a few floors to go, so I decided to break the ice.

“Hi I’m Rosetta, James Smiths new sectary,” I said holding out my hand.

“Hello Rosetta you have a beautiful name,” he said before kissing my hand like a gentlemen. I blushed a little which I rarely do. He continued, “I’m Jonathan, it’s nice to meet you.”

“It’s nice to meet you too,” I said. When I thought about it, he reminded me of someone but I couldn’t put my finger on it. The doors opened and we stepped through. We both headed to the reception in comfortable silence.

“Hi Kat,” I said cheerfully kissing her on both cheeks. “Is he here yet?” I asked signing. I noticed Jonathan didn’t sign after. I guess he doesn’t work her.

“Thanks Kat,” I called behind me walking to my office. “Bye Jonathan.” I heard a faint see you soon as I walked further away from them. I took out my key and opened my office. I put down my bags and turned on my computer. I brought some home essences to liven up the place. I made myself coffee and ate my red apple.

I was nervous about being in the same room as him but I knew if I wanted to work here, I had to suck it up and get over it. I took my notepad, pen and keys before leaving the room. Part of my Job wasn’t the work of a sectary but an assistant. That’s part of the reason why this job was difficult and paid a lot of money. I stood in front of his door. I sighed and knocked.

“Enter,” he called out and I did. I walked to his desk and waited for him to look up.

“Ah Rose, here’s my schedule if there will be any cancellations or additions to it, you’ll have to write down. It’s job to tell me ahead of time when and where I have meeting and so on but that was explained in the contract.” He handed me the schedule. “We have a meeting to attend to later today so be prepared. Are you aware of what you’ll do?” He asked and I nodded. I had to basically write what he told me and things that the company had to do which were mentioned in the meetings. I couldn’t speak unless spoken t because there would be rich business men there who weren’t exactly the loving kind.

He quickly looked at his bathroom door before whispering to me. “Rose about last night I-”

I interrupted him saving him the hassle. “It’s all forgotten, it was a mistake and it won’t happen again.” Mistake my ass that was that kiss was amazing.

“But-” he started again but I stopped him.

“Let’s not talking about it, please,” I begged not wanting to dwell on the subject any longer. He nodded and was about to start talking when we heard the sound of the toilet flushing. My head flicked to door before back to James with a confused expression. He just shook his head, looking a tad bit annoyed. When I looked back at the door Jonathan was there looking between me and James. Had he heard are conversation?

“Rose, this is my older brother Jonathan,” James said with a bored voice. His brother? I knew he reminded me of someone but it never crossed my mind that it was James brother.

“So I guess this is what you meant when you said see you soon?”

“Yep. I’m very happy you were chosen as my brother’s sectary. It means we will be seeing each other quite a bit,” he said with a smirk.

I smiled knowingly, “Well as nice as this conversation is, I have work to do.” I walked to the door opening it. “Goodbye Jonathan, James,” and closed the door. I sat on my office chair leaning back.

This job just got a lot more interesting.
