I had decided it was best for me to begin helping at Florence's office. I had become her assistant, helping her take calls, filing away things. And taking her out to lunch.

It was now well into the middle of October, the leaves had turned into a beautiful auburn color. A nice chill in the air.

I wore a beige long sleeve sweater that dropped down to the start of my thigh, and a brown slip dress underneath that stopped inches above my ankle. And...some ankle boots. I was all covered up today because I've been unusually cold.

I take a seat at my desk, that was a few feet away from Florence's office. I yawned, feeling exhausted, I shook my head lightly. Pushing back my hair with my fingers.

I started up the computer in front of me, watching as the Dell logo popped up lighting up the screen. I was busy zoning out, that I didn't hear the clearing of a throat. It was until a hand was placed on my shoulder that I snapped out of my daze.

"Oh!" I said, shocked to see Jonatan Moreau. The handsome man smiled down at me. "Good morning, Mr. Moreau." It was different to see how Florence and Jonatan continue to be with each other. I've actually never seen them together in the same room talking with one another.

But, usually four times a day someone calls and Florence answers and closes the door to her office and they talk for hours.

"Good morning to you too, Miss Sanchez." He greeted back, I was still wary of him. And I would rather not be near him, or talk with him ever. "How have you been, darling?" There was a sinister smirk on his lips. "You've been handling this lifestyle..." He suddenly trails off, his smirk dropping as he looked down at my finger with the blood red ruby that was wrapped around the ring finger.

I felt myself getting scared. "I've been well, thank you. Um, Florence should be getting here soon enough. Would you like me to set you up in her office?" I rambled, putting my hand behind my back. Jonatan's eyes narrowed on me, he clicked his tongue and his smile reappeared.

"Sure." He answered shortly, I nodded my head smiling. I stood up and walked him towards the door I was sure he knew well enough.

I opened it for him, "Would you like some coffee?" I offered, a nervous turn in my stomach causing me to shift on my feet.

"I'm fine, thank you dear." With that I closed the door behind me and walked back to my desk. I start putting together cases for Florence, answering the one or two calls that came in.

"Good morning, Ava." A double chocolate frappe was put in front of me on my desk. I stood up and grinned at Florence, we leaned into each other and kissed cheeks.

"Morning thank you, I got a few calls from some clients. But more importantly, Jonatan is here. I set him up in your office." I watched as Flo's tan cheeks went pink.

"Well then, um-" She started to fix her hair, and I giggled shaking my head.

"You look amazing. I'll make sure to handle everything until you two are finished." I assured her, she smiled at me thankfully. She squeezed my hands.

"Thank you, I'll see you later." Florence walked off, her short heeled shoes, clicking along the hard tile floor. God, Florence still dressed so amazing. I take note of the white bellbottom pant with the silk black button up that was tucked in.

I winced, my boobs that had bounced as I took a seat, were killing me. I whimper, trying to massage them but it was thrown in my face. A bigger pain erupting.

I guess my period is coming soon. I silently guessed in my head. I stretch my back a little, trying to release the tension I was feeling in my lower back.
