(Rachael)
ugh! I can't believe that asshole! ok, I need to calm down, but still. He's such a jerk. Sometimes, I can't stand him, and today was one of those times. I simply told him about donating to Cole's school because they needed some assistance, and that jackass said no.I made my way back to my cubicle and sat down, slamming my hand on my desk as I felt like going back to his office and strangling him to death."It didn't work out?" Emily asked as she walked up to me."No, he said no, and not in a good way either," I replied, making her shake her head. I should have known. He wasn't kind from day one, so why did I have so much faith in him?"I heard that he fired Kirk for suggesting something to him. something is going on with him. He's never acted like this before." Emily said as if I cared."At the rate that he's going, I'm this close to resigning myself. I can't deal with that dickhead anymore." Emily laughed while shaking her head."It's only Thursday, we have one more day before we can relax for the weekend, so please, don't let it get to you so much ok?" I raised my eyebrow at Emily and wondered if she was dropped on the head when she was a baby. I shouldn't let it get to me. If only she was in my position and saw the way that he acted, then she wouldn't be saying that."I know, I know. We all hate him and his stupid attitude. but, we know that he's a hard man to deal with. You went in there knowing that he's not going to say yes, so why are you stressing it now?" Why am I what?"Emily, go back to your cubicle. you aren't making any sense right now." I replied and she pouted, before leaving.I decided to do some work before lunchtime so that's what I did. it was better this way, at least it was helping me take my mind off things.until the ogre started calling for me.I huffed and got up, then made my way toward his office with thoughts of murder on my mind. the bastard better not start with me, I've had it up to here with him.once I arrived at the hell hole of an office, I opened the door and walked in. then folded my arms and wait for him to open his mouth.he's such a handsome man, too bad his personality didn't match."I'm heading over to Burke's Auto Parts to drop something off and I need you to take calls for me while I'm there." I narrowed my eyes at him, not believing he had said that."I'm an investment banker, not a damn personal assistant. I'm here to help you raise money, if you want someone to take calls for you, hire a damn assistant." I argued back, not liking how this day was going."So, you're here to help me raise more money but you want me to donate some of the money that I'm making? you're not doing a good job, Miss. Hale." I was subtly taking my earrings out while pulling my hair up in a bun. yeah, I'm about to fight this bitch.he laughed while rolling his eyes as if he figured out what I'm doing. I didn't stop though, because today was the day I'm going to be charged with murder."You're a grown-ass woman with a child, act like it. instead of acting like a child throwing a temper tantrum. the only thing you do is sit at your desk until I call for you, I'm only giving you more work which is fair in my book." I walked up to him and stood there, getting ready to throw a punch. I balled my fist up and made a move to strike him, but he was faster than me.He grabbed my hand and twisted it behind my back while standing up. The smell of his cologne was making my knees go weak, as I struggled to let him set me free.I'm not sure what happened next, because the next thing I knew he was leaning down and sniffing my neck like a creep, but that didn't stop me from moaning like a bitch in heat until he opened that mouth of his and ruined everything."Look at that, you're already getting wet because of what I'm doing." I narrowed my eyes at him and started struggling even harder, which is when he released me."That's sexual harassment," I replied, smirking as I was thinking of ways to land him in jail."And you throwing a punch at me is physical violence." Oh bugger, he's right. I pouted as he sat back down while laughing."But seriously though, let's put all of that behind us. you are responsible for taking my calls until I return, stay here and please don't mess anything up or I'll fire you faster than I did with Kirk." damn asshole.I watched as he took up his briefcase and left. it's not like it's the first time he's leaving me here, I've been here plenty of times. but during those times, I didn't want to murder him as much as I did right now.he was going out of his way to make me angry, I don't know why he was doing this.sighing, I sat down in his huge office chair and breathed a sigh of relief from the feel of it. it's so much better than my chair.I can safely say that this day didn't go as planned. Xander was being extremely difficult today and I didn't know why. But, if he thought that he would treat me in any way, shape, or form and get away with it, he thought wrong. I'm only going to fight him more and more and I'm sure I'll be the one to win. He had another thing coming if he thought that I was going to back down.(Xander)I laughed to myself as I recalled the way Rachael was mad at me for telling her to stay in my office and take my calls. I wasn’t worried about leaving her there since I had done it before, and I could trust her despite our differences. It wasn’t hard to get her to hate me, I could have told her yes about donating at her son’s school, but how would I win the bet if I acted soft with her? My father had another thing coming if he thought that I was going to end up liking Rachael. I knew that the old man had a plan as to why I shouldn’t fire Rachael. It was easy to tell. He wanted us to be together since he saw her as a daughter, a person who could be a part of our family. I hated that idea more than anything in the world. Settling down was something that I had never thought about, I enjoyed the bachelor style I was living. I know that that sounded bad, but I can’t help it. I liked being free, not being able to answer anyone as to where I was or who I was with. It was better
(Rachael)I was angry. No scratch that, I was furious! I was angry to a point where all I saw was red. I can't believe that bastard isn't here yet. It's been two hours since he left me here and still haven't returned. Should I trash his office? I think I could get away with it since he isn’t back as yet. On top of everything, I haven't eaten, so I was also hungry. The noises that my belly was making sounded like an alien had found a new home there. I cringed so hard I felt like I sprained something. Ok, what am I going to do? I couldn't just leave here since he told me to stay and take his calls for him. So far, all the calls I have gotten were boring investors looking to have a meeting with him, so I wrote it down. I should be getting a bonus for this, I was not doing this for free. After a couple more minutes had passed, the door finally opened to reveal a smiling Xander who seemed to have gotten some sort of good news. "At least you're happy." I said while folding my arms and g
(Xander)when I left work, I drove home after I called Leon to see what he was up to. I wanted to hang out with him at the bar that we had visited often, so I was shocked when he agreed to go with me since he was still a bit busy. once I arrived home, I was happy to see that Lucy was there and Dad hadn't run her off like he often did. the two of them were talking and laughing while playing a game of chess in the living room. I was amused at the sight of them getting along, Dad thought that he was too old for a babysitter, but Lucy is his nurse and not a babysitter. "Hey guys, Dad, I'm going to hang out with Leon for a bit. I'm not sure if I'm going to be home tonight." I said as I sat down next to them. "gonna get some?" Dad asked, making me raise my eyebrow at him in question. he rolled his eyes and went back to focusing on his game. "I'm old enough to know about those things, Xander, so don't look at me like that. I used to get around before I met your mom. Maybe that's where you
(Rachael)“Come on, please? It’s tonight, and I don’t feel like going alone.” Emily begged for the tenth time already.“I have a son to take care of, I can’t just drop everything like that,” I replied, trying my best to argue my way out of what she was asking of me. “I already asked Brady, and he said no, you’re my only other option. My parents expect me to be there tonight and I don’t want to go alone.” I sighed, knowing that Emily wouldn’t stop bothering me until I agreed with her. “Fine I’ll go, but you’ll owe me, though.” That got a squeal from her, which had me covering my ears. She hugs me and nods her head. “Thanks a lot, babe! I promise I’ll pay you back somehow. I hate going to that hotel alone no matter if it belongs to my parents.” I nodded my head in understanding because I was the same. The Pearl Bay Hotel was one of the largest hotels here in Manhattan. It was where most celebrities would stay when they visited. It’s a five-star hotel as well and extremely expensive.
(Xander) Finally learning her name, I took Cassie to the nearest hotel so that I could have my way with her. What I didn’t know was that there was going to be an event there. I got surrounded by paparazzi right away, asking me questions and taking pictures of Cassie and me without my permission. I was getting angry until I saw a dear friend of mine, Louie Garcia. He is one of the top actors here in America, and we had been friends back in middle school. It’s quite funny that he was the one to recognize me first because he had changed a lot. After we talked, it was finally time for me to take Cassie to the room I booked for the night, but I stopped when I saw Rachael. What was she doing here? Did she hear about this event and come dressing like that, hoping to score big? I don’t care though, but something deep down inside of me did not like that idea so I made my way over to her after giving Cassie the key and telling her to go to the room, that I would be there soon. She was more th
(Xander POV) After I made it home, I took a much-needed shower and brushed my teeth, and got ready to go to bed. Dad had already been sleeping by the time I got home, so I didn’t bother waking him up. It was a couple of hours later when I woke up from a dream I never expected to have. Yes, it was starring Rachael and her gorgeous body, and now I was hard yet again. I can’t even sleep in peace without her taking over my dreams, taking over my thoughts. My mind has been plagued by her presence lately, and it was getting to be too much. Deciding to just forget about everything, I fell asleep, knowing that I had a lot to do at work in the morning. The next morning, when I woke up, I got ready for work and made my way downstairs. Dad was already there all dressed up, and I smiled because it’s been a while since he took care of himself like this. “Going somewhere?” I asked as I took the cup of coffee he handed me and told him thanks. “Yeah, I’m taking a little trip with you to the offi
(Rachael) I hurriedly pushed Xander away from me, not believing that I was stupid enough to kiss him back. My eyes were still wide as I thought about what I had done. I instantly started beating myself up, knowing that I made out with the one person I hated the most. “You shouldn't have done that,” I said, backing away from him. He didn't reply. He just stood there, breathing hard. I ran out of his office before he could stop me or say anything. I wasn't watching where I was going as I ran into Mr. King. He grabbed my hands, steadying me so that I wouldn't fall. “Where are you going in such a hurry?” Mr. King asked as I tried to calm down by taking deep breaths. “Um, I just needed some fresh air,” I replied. He narrowed his eyes at me as if he didn't like my answer. “Did my son do something to you? Is that why you're running?” I was going to deny it, but Mr. King can be scary sometimes, so I found myself telling him the truth even though I didn't want to. “he kissed me,” I repli
(Xander) I felt ashamed of what I did. My father wasn't making it easy for me too, after I went home, he started asking me plenty of questions. Saying that I shouldn't have done that to Rachael, and that Kirk didn't deserve to be fired just because of some stupid bet. He did call off the bet, too, which was better for me because I couldn't deal with that shit anymore. One thing I knew, though, was that I wasn't going to apologize to anyone, since I didn't see the need for it. It's Friday now, and tonight, I was going to hang out a bit with Leon since it was something that we often did on a Friday night as long as we were not busy. I was going to see if I could find a woman, that will be willing to spend the night with me. I had already forgotten about that girl I brought to the hotel, so it's time that I find myself a new hole to please me. “Xander, are you listening to me?” Dad asked, and I sighed and looked at him. “What is it this time?” I asked as I ran my hand through my hair
