The pair drove in silence, and soon they were passing the house they were buying in the dim light of day. It was glowing there in the trees like a beacon that they would call home by the end of the week. He smiled as she sighed and pressed her face to the glass to look at it more as they drove past it. It was going to be their home.
“Family dinner will be easy to get to.” He said with a chuckle.
“For you.” She said with a laugh. “My family won’t be coming to dinner or us going over there too often.”
“And why is that?” he asked.
“Well, my family is slightly disconnected. The main part is I don’t want them thinking because I am with you, that means they can start asking you for things.” Paige said with a sigh.
“And that means?” he asked.
“Though I love my siblings very much, they have the worst ability to manage things and often find themsel

“Excuse me?” Paige asked as she looked at the older woman who was smiling at her. Paige was sure that she had heard the older woman wrong. Everything in her told her that she did. There was no way this woman just said that to her, not to Milo.“I had to charge you something, but a private sale is much easier to handle,” Missy said as she put the dollar in her pocket. “You see, the house is mine to do with as I please. I wanted a family to move in. I offered the house first to my children, but they all have the ones they wanted. I had no idea Milo was looking for one, or I would have found a way to offer it to him as well. I decided though to sell it to you, my dear. A long-standing tradition in my family is to make sure the women have something to hold on too not the men. My mother gave me the house when I got married though she still lived in it for some time. She wanted to make sure that I had something that I could
The Assistant 21
Milo and Paige drove up the street to the house that stood there in the trees. She looked at it and knew this was hers. It was the most surreal feeling in the world to her knowing everything that happened in the past two days. She began to laugh. There was no stopping the laughter either.“What?” Milo asked as he looked at her as she got out of the car and looked at everything around her. This place was going to be their place together. A part of who they were, and it would allow them to grow together as well.“This.” She said as she looked at him. “All of this happened to me because I had no clothes to wear to work yesterday.”“Well, not really.” He said, chuckling. He had often thought the moment she walked into his office, everything in his life would change. He had a plan right from the start. Simple steps that would allow him to reach this goal with her. Everything went to hell as soon as the but
The Assistant Epilogue
A year had filled the castle house with many different things as Milo drove up to it from his long day at the office. His brothers with Maryanne’s help had pushed for him to take his rightful place in the company as a VP by their side. He had enjoyed getting to know them and their families over the past year. His father had also begun to acknowledge him for what and who he was as well along with Missy. However, coming home to Paige was the best part of every day.She had stopped working a few months before. She had been having some issues with getting around easily. Missy had been the one who finally said enough was enough and basically made her leave her position at the company. She had a new job now that was much more important than being his assistant. He smiled as he walked in the door to find her asleep on the couch near the front of the house with the small bundle on her chest. He walked over and lifted the small thing off of her as she woke up and l
The Assistant Prologue
Paige was at work trying to figure out what exactly to do about her situation. She was almost daydreaming as she sat at her cubicle waiting to hand over the things she had prepared for the bosses she worked for. A shared assistant that was one of the best she was in high demand and found that her job now included a few extra people that she was not supposed to work for.She knew though that she had a good reputation for working. Though she had heard a few rumors about how she moved up the companies ladders quickly. None of them were good. She had ignored them for the most part. She had no desire to give into the demands of the bosses nor would she back down with her other assistants. They had things to do for their bosses.Giving in to those types of things was not like her. She was there to work and get the job done. She would buy their presents for their wives and girlfriends. She would type everything up. She would answer calls and schedu
The Assistant The Weekend
Paige had packed up everything that was hers at the desk and then she decided to call it a day. She had finished everything that she had too and new this weekend she would be nothing but a blah of nerves. Though she had changed jobs a few times she knew that this was going to be something new.She tried not to think about it but it was all she could think of until she went to sleep. Nothing was right anymore and she knew it. No one asked for her by name. No one requested her even though she was one of the best in the company. She tried to figure out who this new boss could possibly be. She had no clue. She didn’t even have an idea of what division he could be.As she fell asleep the thoughts took over and invaded her dreams. She didn’t sleep well and decided to put off doing the few things that she knew she had to do. The laundry for one was one of those things that she didn’t want to do. She knew that when she did do it she would have t
The Assistant The Night before Monday
Paige had put off the things she needed to do. She knew that everything was going to be fine the next day but she had to do her laundry. That was her goal for the day even though again she didn’t want to carve out the time to do it and sit there.She bundled her things up and walked to the basement of the building. The old light flickering in the distance always made her feel slightly uneasy but she knew she had too.She then placed everything right in the washer knowing that she should do two loads but there was no way she was feeding this machine which happened to be the only one that would actually work most of the time, that many quarters. She opened the lids and then placed everything where it needed to be. Then closed it and shoved the quarters int eh slots to start the machine. It would be about forty minutes and she had this done to a science. The machine was locked for the moment. No one could open it.She walked back upstairs to her
The Assistant 1
Paige stood in front of the mirror and knew this was not going to work out well. The dryer had completely ruined her outfit, and she was left with one white blouse that one could easily see-through and a short pencil shirt that she would have to be careful of doing anything still left in her closet. She didn’t even have a clean bra to wear, which just added to her dilemma. So her already large chest was going to be bouncing around every which way but that with the combo of the shirt, someone could easily see her dusky colored nipples. This was not the way to start off her job with the new boss. She was about ready to cry when she remembered a blazer that she had in the back of the closet. That would help some of her problems.She started out the door when she turned locked her door and saw one of her neighbors. The creepy one who always stared. She wondered to herself if she was making an impression that she was strong-minded or
The Assistant 2
“What were you talking about that you picked me for this job?” she asked when she could finally catch her breath and have a coherent thought again. She had spent years doing this job with no one ever looking at her the way that he just had though her rise through the ranks had garnered some comments like, “She had spent a lot of time on her knees.” Or “She is better on her back then in the chair.” She had ignored them, but now she was wondering if her frustration and him being him led her to do the entirely wrong thing. This was the man who was supposed to enforce the rules about certain interactions and fraternization.“Paige, I have been watching everyone. That is my job. Though some of the other assistants have found ways to get around the company’s rules, you have not. Do you know how I got this position? It was quite easy, really. It was by reporting on everyone who works here and their ability t
