Chapter 2.

Slut for her

With so much exhaustion.

I kicked my shoe off the moment I got into my apartment and immediately collapsed on my bed. My first day at work have been so tiring and I know tomorrow won’t be any better, might actually be worser. I had seen little of miss rose, I spent the whole day with Alex, who gave me instructions on what to do from a mile and frown really hard at me when I couldn’t keep up. Hopefully after today I wouldn’t have to see more of Alex whites presence.

I needed this job. I slowly turned on my back starring at the plain white ceiling. My parents abandoned me at an early age and has long forgotten about me, and I was self sufficient, I needed to raise enough money to go to grad school and get my masters, and of course there also issues of paying for rent and buying foods, the prices here are at higher compared to back in Detroit. I let out another sigh before rubbing my eyes and forcing my lazy ass out of the bed and towards my kitchen .

I was way too tired to cook a proper meal, so I settled for a pot of noodles, I know I can’t keep doing this all the time if I’m really sure I want to stay healthy, I just hope I wouldn’t feel this tired everyday after work.

As I brushed my teeth, I thought of Miss Diaz and smiled at my reflection despite myself, I couldn’t deny I wasn’t excited or thrilled to see her again, and I was a little intrigued by her. Just the idea that I’m going to work in such proximity to her gives me chills and makes my heart flutter. Yes, I have wondered a lot about her, How did she get to be a CEO this young ? Why did she move to America ? I feel asleep last night with her jet black eyes and her playful side smile on my mind.

Thank Goodness, I thought to myself as I looked down my watch, it’s 8: 20am. I was ten minutes early, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself. Alex didn’t scowl at me when I showed up this morning, and that’s a really good sign for me .

“Oh, if it isn’t my beautiful PA”

I almost passed out realizing that the CEO is around the corner, but panicked more as she’s now standing in front of me. I quickly shot out of my seat, avoiding her gaze as I lowered my head slightly. “Good morning Miss Diaz”

I tried not to focus on the fact that she had used the word “beautiful” earlier to address me a few minutes ago.

“Good morning Sydney, what’s my schedule for today?” She asked already walking into her office.

Oh I guess I’m expected to follow her, so grabbing my iPad I rushed after her, trying not to trip over my feet, and the same time trying not to think of how sweet my name sounded coming out from her mouth.

Pushing the thought immediately to the back of my mind, I slightly clear my throat “you’ve got a meeting at the ROSE Garden hotel in thirty In minutes”

She had sat behind her desk and crossed her leg over the other while she listened to me read out her schedule, I felt my voice shake a little bit, feeling her intense stare, breathing is starting will really get difficult for me if she continues.

“What’s your favorite genre of song Sydney”

“What?” I was thrown completely off balance from her sudden question.

“Your favorite genre of music, you know what you love to listen to often and all that”. There was a little hint of amusement in her voice as she spoke.

“Uhm.. pop, but more of blues and slow music” I stuttered as I’ve not really thought about of what kind of songs I love.

“Oh, really? I listen to calm and soothing music most of the times too. I guess we both will really work out”

I stared back for a moment and she just sat there looking straight back at me with amusement in her eyes.

How was I supposed to respond to my boss suddenly talking about music? Not that, how do I respond to my boss telling me we’re both going to work out? Maybe she didn’t mean it in the way I’m thinking, yes I think she meant working out, as in doing my job well as her PA.

My heart was beating heavy in my chest as I just stared dumbly at Miss Diaz.

Today she was wearing a strip suit, matched with a matching heels, her white shirt was neatly folded a little bit, I could see what seem to be a hint of tattoos slipping through the wrist of her shirt.

She suddenly glanced over her gold watch and cursed under her breath, before raising her eyes to me. “If we don’t leave now for the meeting, we’re definitely going to be late”

I followed her out of the rooms on her heels, I seem to be fascinated by each step she takes. Each steps seemed so assured and confident. I didn’t even realized when we ended up at the Tech-Life industries car park and she led me to a black Mercedes Maybach, my mouth hung open at the sight of the car.

Why am I so surprised, this is her company, so if she’s a freaking billionaire, that shouldn’t be much of a surprise either.

“Here,” Miss Diaz stated tossing the car keys at me.

I stared at the keys in total confusion. Why would she be giving me the keys to her car?.

“Don’t worry, there’s the GPS system already installed in the car, I know the area might still seem strange to you.

Okay, so lemme get this, she wanted me to drive? She expected me to drive? Now I’m panicking so hard.

“Sidney, you know if you continue standing like that we will get there when the meeting is over.” Miss Diaz said as she began making her way towards the passenger seat of her expensive car.

“I cleared my throat, “Uhm… Miss Diaz, the thing is. I can’t drive” I don’t know how I manage to pull that out, but yeah I said it.

Miss Diaz did a double take, her eyes blinking twice at me as they widen slightly. “ You… you can’t drive?”

There was a moment of silence as we both stood there staring at each other, or me rather staring at my toes out of embarrassment

“You do realize that a huge part of your job entails you driving me to meetings and some work related activities, but.. you can’t drive.”

I nodded my head some more, it’s clear. I was going to loose my job, I can’t drive, I had barely started, now I’m going to loose this job. My throat has gone dry, Miss Diaz just stood there staring at me, I was already looking dumb. We just stood there staring at each other like we’re in some sort of stare-off competition in the parking lots.

She let out a sigh and ran her fingers through her hair, “get in”

I quickly sprinted to the passengers seat, heels making a clicking sound against the gravel floor . I was so shocked at the fact that she hadn’t just fired me at the spot, but I had no time to think of anything now.

Miss Diaz pressed a button, Which I guessed was to properly shut my door, the interior of the car was such that I doubt I will ever see, but here I am seating in here, and do I still feel like crab? Yes I do.. I mean who doesn’t know how to drive at 23?

Miss Diaz placed her hand at the back of my chair as she looked over her shoulder and began reversing out of the park, I ignored my heart racing, and focused ahead. The car was filled with her scent, a mixture of flower and wine, which wasn’t such a contrast to her personality.

We remained in silent as she pulled out of the Tech-life industries and directed the the car towards the highway.

The rest of the journey was in silence, Miss Diaz seemed to be lost in a deep thought, and the last thing I will want to do now is to distract her, I just sat silently and watch her jaw as they move and how focused and concentrated she looked, how her black eyes darken all of a sudden when a car tries overtaking or so slow. Her knuckles held the steering wheel firmly. She was beautiful, if perfection was a human, then it’s her. She seemed so in control of everything she does.

“We’re here”

I could hardly take in the magnificent building we were now parked in front of. Miss Diaz was already out of the car and was on her way towards the building, I hurried after her clutching my iPad to my chest, it still puzzles me how she manages to pull off so good wearing those heels and still walks like a queen in it and unbothered.

“You good “. Miss Diaz said, turning to me once we were inside the elevator. Her voice was calm and her gaze held mine.

“Uhm..yeah” I said trying to suppress my panting.

I was clearly aware of her shoulders brushing against mine, her fragrance filled my senses.

“Okay, that’s Good” she simple Said as the elevator door open and I’m left to trot after her again in my heels.

“So glad you could make it Maria,” a bald man said the minute we walked inside the room.

We now stood in a large room, in the center was a huge round table with a diversity of white men and women seated around it.

Miss Diaz began shaking hands with some of the men while I stood there awkwardly clutching my iPad. She then walked to the other side of the table and took a seat before pulling out one for me.

“Okay, let’s look at the financial records of the..”

The bald man has began talking, I pulled out my iPad and began typing, furiously typing notes. I felt rather anxious being in the mist of such important people, I started panicking and began bobbing my legs awkwardly.

I felt miss Diaz hand reached over to my leg to stop it jittering, all the while she was still looking up ahead, and all focused on the meeting, but all I could think of was her hand on my thigh.

I gulped.

She moved her hand away and I immediately felt cold at the lost of contact.

At some point In the meeting the bald man called for a break and that was how I saw myself standing on a large balcony, it was situated right outside the meeting room and the view was beautiful. Looking down and staring at the coconut tree below I felt like i was in a trance.

“ Hmm.. I see you’re Maria’s new PA, do you think you’re gonna last?” A voice said.

I turned around to see one of the man standing some inches away from me, he had grey beard and was wearing a weird smile on his face which I don’t really like.

He had a dangerous glam in his eyes and as he spoke sipping a drink from the glass in his hands all the while not keeping his eyes off me.

I didn’t speak, I just stood and watched as his eyes scanned my body causing me to tug at my gown.

He smiled, and I was immediately filled with rage and disgust and so badly wished to disappear from this place this instant.

“Francesco, don’t you think it’s too early for alcohol? Oh, and not like I care so much”

I felt my inside jump with excitement as Miss Diaz appeared through the door way with an expression I couldn’t quite place, and she slowly walked up to us and when she got to where I was standing, she slowly snaked her arm around my waist.

My legs already were trembling and now I felt like i might pass out any moment from now

The weird looking man cleared his throat, before scanning me all over with his eyes “well, it’s nice seeing you, hope to see you around more” he smirked.

“I didn’t quite get the name..?”

“Oh don’t worry, that won’t be necessary”. Miss Diaz said tightening her grip on my waist. His eyes lingered on Miss Diaz hands on my waist.

Just now when Miss Diaz spoke, her voice was so low, and there was poison and pure dislike dripping from it, my heart was racing very fast now. I was left to wonder Who was he? There was clearly some form of tension between him and Miss Diaz and I seemed to be in the middle of it.

Francesco smirked.

He took the last gulp of the alcohol in his cup and walked away leaving Miss Diaz and I behind.
