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 schedule meetings. All the things she was hired to do. She would not cross that line so many other before her had done.

They were the easiest to look over in the company many thinking there was not much to the job. She knew better. She hated the simple fact. Though she knew this was a great job she had doubts it would be hers for all that long. She knew she would burn out sooner or later. The comments and blistering remarks would drive her to find another job in a different company and she would have to start over there.

She had been with this company now for almost a year. She was proud of that fact. She was now one of the few assistants who knew their place and could hold their own doing what she did. She had moved up not because of her beauty or talents in other places but because she was a no nonsense worker.

She was never late. She took her breaks on time. She filled her desk with work for whomever needed her to work on something. She was willing to stay later to work only. She knew her place at the company.

She was not going to fall victim to anyone’s greed or dirty thoughts. She would continue for as long as she could. She knew that it would not be easy but she was willing to put in the extra work. She had to be rewarded somewhere.

Her goals had changed a few times since she had been in the workforce. Right now she wanted to get out of her crappy apartment. It was cheap but it was in the city where she needed to be. She just needed a few more months working and possibly a bonus or two and she would be free of that place.

Fridays were her best day. Everyone else was ready to go and did the bare minimum for the day. Even her bosses which left her surprisingly pretty much free. She would answer the calls and then transfer them to the correct office for the rest of the afternoon.

“Paige can you come here please?” one of the executives asked as he stood by the opening in the walls for her area. She smiled and nodded as she stood up.

“Of course, sir.” She replied as she followed him to a small conference room. He left the door open knowing how some of the people on the floor would talk if they disappeared. This man was decent in the way he treated her and all the others like her as well. She smiled at the thought.

“What can I help you with sir?” she asked as she looked at him.

“You are being transferred.” He said as he met her eyes. “You were requested by a new executive and you will work for him from now on.”

“What?” Paige asked not knowing someone could do that in the company. Most of the assistants worked for many different managers. She knew this was not the norm here in this one. Who would want her to work for them?

“He requested you and the owner gave into his demands.” The man chcuckled. “His gain is our loss.”

“Who is he?” Paige asked. She wanted to at least know if she had worked with him before.

“Honestly I don’t know.” The man stated as he smiled. “However instead of reporting here to this area you will go to the suites. The new one is being redone over the weekend. That is your new office. You will report to there on Monday.”

“But.” Paige said and then she clamped her mouth shut. She knew that trying to fight this was not going to work. It would be a waste.

“I would start packing up your stuff.” He said as he looked her and watched her reaction. “You can put it in the suite closet so you don’t have to take it home. It isn’t like you are being fired. This is a promotion. Remember that.”

He walked out of the conference room leaving her standing there still in shock. She knew what she had to do. She didn’t want to say goodbye to her walls that went half way. She enjoyed working for many people and not just one. She wanted to stay where she was. However the winds of change were adding to her life. A change and working with one person instead of seven might be easier. It could also mean more money for her.

She could do this. She knew she could.

  • 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

    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

    “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 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

    “I really don’t know how I should feel about this,” Milo said out of the blue as he looked at his computer later in the day. Paige was in the room, but she wasn’t working with him at the moment. She was keeping herself busy but also keeping an eye on him. He had quite the day already.“You should be happy but yet still a little leery of everything.” She said as she looked out the window. Her response was simple and straightforward. It was how she handled everything, including all of this, with him.“And you know this how?” he asked with a chuckle.“It is how I feel with everything that has happened to us.” She said as she turned around as she looked into his face as she spoke.“You don’t think that you should be happy?” he asked as he stood up and walked over to her. He looked down into her blue eyes and got lost for a moment in them. He was wondering

    Paige walked out and looked between the two men standing there. Milo was looking at his father, and she knew he had so many questions to ask. She went to her area and took a seat as she let them talk. As the two left the hallway to go into the office, they left the door open. They knew that she would stop anyone from coming in, and they could discuss whatever with the knowledge she would keep their secrets. She was after all a part of this.“I have one question,” Milo asked the old man as he sat down on the couch, and Milo went to one of the chairs near it. Milo didn’t really know how to handle this conversation. It wasn’t something he was ever going to ask in the first place. Now everything was hinged on the answer his father would give.“And that is?” the old man asked as he raised his eyebrow.“Did you want me to know them?” Milo asked.“Know who?” the old man
