Let me make it up to you!

Jackson

My head, mind, and body were filled with Laura’s thoughts. I couldn’t get over the anger mixed with embarrassment that was plastered on her face as she walked away. 

I shouldn’t have done that, but I had no choice. It was for her own good. I can’t give her what she wants. She’s my daughter’s best friend. No one would understand why I left all the women in the world to be with one half my age. 

“You’re the older person here, you have to push her out.” I said to myself as I brought the car to a stop. 

I grabbed only my phone and made my way into the office.

“Good morning, Sir!” Anita said to me as she quickly rose to her feet. 

“Good morning, Anita. You look nice today.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“Please get my things from the car… have you sent my schedule to my table?” I asked while she nodded.

“Yes Sir.” She chimed in and then left to get the things from the car while I went into my office. 

The place smiled nicely. That’s the best part about Anita. She’s very organized and neat, the one reason why she has stayed with me this long. Most of the assistants I’ve had in the past never last long, it’s either they misbehave or try to seduce me and every time, I have no choice than to fire them. 

“Here sir,” the door opened and then Anita came in.

“Thanks, Anita. Please sit, I worked on the files you sent yesterday, but I found some discrepancies. I want us to check it together before I go in for the meeting.” 

“Alright.” 

We both sat down in front of the computer for about half an hour before I finally dismissed her. It was time for my morning coffee. I made it myself and was still sipping it when I started hearing loud voices approaching.

Before I could fathom what was happening, my door banged open and Lisa stormed in. She made straight for my desk and slammed it violently while Anita ran after her. 

“Sir, I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to me. She fought me and ran in here!” she let out angrily, and from the way she glared at Lisa, it was obvious she was close to giving her a heavy blow in the face.

“It's alright, Anita. I'll take it from here.” I chimed in and then made a face at her to leave. 

I waited till she closed the door before turning to Lisa.

“What are you doing in my office, Lisa? I don't attend to people without an appointment, and I don't think you have one? Do you?” I asked, making sure I was firm and professional in my words.

“Ohh please, stop being so formal with me, you're my man and I don't have to get permission before I come into my man’s office.” 

“If I was really your man, you wouldn't have to fight your way in here or include “my man” in every sentence you make.” I let out, calmly as possible, while she clicked her lips and went ahead to sit.

“I know we had a little fight, you hit me angry by being all nice with that twat of a girl, and you know how jealous I get when another woman gets your attention. I want you all to myself… just me and I alone.” she winked at me and continued.

“Anyway, I'm over it now, you should forget it too…”

“You still haven't answered my question, what are you doing here?” I quizzed and she rolled her eyes.

“Okay, okay. I know what you want… I'm sorry. Are you okay now?” she let out casually and then stood up.

She came over to my side, hung her arms around my waist and tilted it to kiss me. I quickly pushed her off. She tried again and this time, I didn't only push her off, I grabbed her hand and dragged her with me. 

She could tell I was going to drag her out of the office, so she pulled back with full force and when I let go, she crashed into the sofa heavily.

“I could have fallen, you…” she suddenly stopped and the anger on her face slipped into a smile.

“Ohh, you irritate me so much. Your fake smile makes my skin crawl. Get the hell out of my office, please. I can't start my day with this.” I fired at her and then turned to leave, but then stopped when I heard the door open.

“Jackson!!!” Stacey let out and then hurried towards me with arms wide open, ready for a hug. 

I was all smiles too as I hurried towards her but in a blink of an eye, I saw Stacey get yanked out of the way. It was Lisa that pulled her, and before I even knew what was happening, she was beating Stacey badly. 

“Lisa!!” I roared and they both stopped immediately.

“How dare you try this nonsense in my office? Have you no shame? Stacey is my client, and you're harassing her, right in my presence? This was exactly what you did that led us here.” I slammed at her again. 

“Why would your client run to hug you like that? Isn’t she aware that you’re in a relationship and that you have a woman who doesn’t like you being touched by other women?” She slammed back at me too. 

I wanted to give her a suitable response, but I couldn’t think of any. 

“No problem then, I hope that woman likes to be touched by other men because she’s about to.” I let out slowly, and before she could figure out what I meant, I had picked up the phone and asked Anita to come in with the security. 

“What the hell do you mean, Jackson?” Lisa screamed at me.

“You'll soon find out yourself!”

“Fine, get this nuisance away from her, if she tries to prove stubborn, tie her up and throw her out the door!” I ordered the hefty security men.

“You wouldn’t dare, Jackson! I’m your f*cking fiancé, you can’t ask me to leave.” She let out while I laughed.

“I’m not asking you to leave, I already did that, and you didn’t listen.”

“If she’s not here in five seconds, consider yourself fired.” I hadn’t finished that when the men grabbed her.

She tried to fight free, but they were stronger and ignored her loud screams. 

“Anita, you know how much I hate embarrassment like this. What if it was a new client? What do you think would happen then?” I turned to Anita. 

“I’m so sorry, sir. She ran past me before I could stop her.” 

“It’s fine. I’d let this slide, but I don’t want her anywhere around here again. If she even shows up again, which I’m sure she will, have her removed the moment she steps her foot in here." I said, trying to keep my voice calm, since it wasn’t really her fault. I should have been more firm in controlling Lisa. 

I signaled her to leave, and she bowed and left. 

“I’m so sorry, Stacey. I hope that hasn’t affected our business?” I quizzed and she smiled.

“Ohh, no. I know how jealous exes can be… she is your ex, right?” She asked.

“Unfortunately, yes. We broke up yesterday, and it was for the same reason. She’s just too loud and untamed for my liking.” I retorted while she gave me a look of scrutiny. 

“Really? And yet, you asked her out and dated her until… yesterday.” She chimed in.

I could tell from the way she kept pressing further that she wasn’t going to drop the issue anytime soon. I wasn’t about to get a migraine talking about Lisa.

“That’s in the past, anyway. Let’s get into business now.”

“So, I’ve gone through the documents. I would have sent it to you but… that came up and I couldn’t. Give me a minute, you should get it soon.”

I took my seat, pointed to her to do the same, while I then started working on the computer. 

“Sent, you can check it now.” I chimed in, while I looked up and caught her staring at me. 

She smiled when we locked eyes before turning to the computer. She stared long at the screen for the next ten minutes while I resumed my work. 

“Okay, this is good. You really outdid yourself, but I think we should discuss this percentage return on investment. It’s too little for the work I’d be doing. 15% is too little. I would be left with little or nothing by the time I’m done paying my workers.” She explained. 

I took some seconds to do a quick calculation, and then shook my head. 

“I wish I could increase the rate, but I can’t. The shareholders are already taking a huge chunk of the commission, and we can’t cut their rates lower than that. They will pull out, and we can’t have that happen. We need their money.” She nodded when I said this, and I gave her a thumbs up.

“Trust me, this was the best negotiation I could get.”

“You have to make it up to me then, and also for what your crazy ex just put me through.” She let out and we both burst into laughter. 

“No problem then. A resort just opened not far from here. I will take you there for brunch. Are we even now?” I quizzed and she smiled. 

I stood up to get water from the dispenser, and when I turned, Stacey was there and in the next second, she pushed herself into my arms and held me tight. 

“What are you doing, Stacey?” 

“You did say you wanted to make it up to me? I don’t want brunch, I want you.”

“I’ve always wanted you, and I’m not losing this opportunity. Want to make it up to me? F*ck me!” She let out and if I wasn’t so sure, I would have thought I was dreaming. 

There was no way that was happening in real life. 

“What did you just say…” before I could finish, she pressed her lips against mine. 

She was so fast and her hands were already in my pants. She grabbed my d*ck, and I didn’t know when I dropped the glass cup in my hands. 

It was the sound of the glass breaking that jerked me back to my senses. She was fast and damn good. In just a second, I was fully erect from the fast strokes.

“You’re fired, Stacey, get your things, leave and never show your face in front of me again.”

She must have thought I would be gentle on her like I was with Lisa. 

I wasn’t. 

Before she could argue, I grabbed her and her bag, dragged her out of my office and slammed the door in her face.
