Abigail Hayes~•~“When I saw you, I figured you were newly employed here. I just didn’t think we’d be working in such proximity.” George– Mr. Galanti said. He was still as casual as he could be, as though nothing happened between us. Maybe it just wasn’t remarkable for him.“Me too, sir.” I was sitting opposite him in his office. I never thought a day would come when I would be in such a situation but there I was. “You know what your work entails, right?” He asked like I was dumb.I held back the frown threatening to break free. I couldn’t talk to him however I wanted now. He was my boss and I’d be working a room away from him. “Answering the phone, managing diaries, organizing meetings and appointments, booking and arranging travel–“He held out his hand, effectively cutting me off. “Aside from the regular secretarial job, I’m certain you read the details of your job. It includes being my personal assistant, which means you’ll also run personal errands for me.”My tongue poked the
George Galanti~•~I was certain someone up there was fucking with me. There was no other reason why the only woman who had ever intrigued me just left my office a few hours ago. I knew I was fucked. I knew the rational thing to do was to let her go or give her a new job somewhere in the company where I wouldn’t have to set my eyes on her, but I had always been a selfish man.When I saw her at first, I was surprised and started to wonder if I fucked one of my employees. Then I waved that off, knowing she would have recognized me that night if she was my employee. The next assumption was that she was newly employed and I was right. I’d never been less happy to be right.It was like I was being tortured by the sight of her. She was the greatest distraction I could have seeing as I couldn’t even focus on work after seeing her.It wasn’t too late to fire her, right?It was no doubt that I wanted her. I could have her if I wanted. Besides, I was the boss and nobody could question me, but
Abigail Hayes~•~Working with Mr Galanti was, for lack of a better word, crazy.He was meticulous when it came to work so it meant everything I did had to be perfect. My reports had to show extreme details, down to the smallest ones, or he would be left unsatisfied.Zara told me he was too demanding which was why his secretaries usually quit whenever the work got too tough and that was equally why the salary for being his secretary skyrocketed. Mr Galanti, however, didn’t see any problem with himself. He believed he just had lazy secretaries who refused to do their work the right way.As though he was summoned by my thoughts, the telephone by my desk rang. I picked it up with a, “Hello. This is GG Enterprise. How may I help you?”“Come to my office.” I heard the familiar voice of my boss before he hung up abruptly, not waiting for me to reply. I’d been working for him for more than a week now but I still wasn’t used to his curt approach.I resisted a sigh and dropped the telephone be
Abigail Hayes~•~George arched an eyebrow as though he was confused, but my glare didn’t soften.Seeing this, he stood up and rounded the table, his hands placed in his pockets. “What are you yelling about?”“You have a wife?” I repeated, throwing the newly ironed suit at him.He picked it up, scowling at me for wrinkling his clothing “You met Christine?”I opened and closed my mouth repeatedly, shocked by his nonchalance. “We made love!”“We fucked, Abigail, and that has nothing to do with Christine. She’s my wife and you were just a body for my pleasure. Now, if you’d get out of my office.”My mouth fell open. I couldn’t fucking believe him. That was it? That was his explanation? Christine was his wife and I was what? “What the fuck did you say?” I might lose my job for getting mad at him like that but I couldn’t find it in me to care at that moment. I had a penchant for creating trouble for myself when I was angry and this wasn’t any different.As though he had all the time in the
George Galanti~•~“Not that it concerns you,” I gritted out as I zipped up my pants. “But Christine and I are open. We’re allowed to fuck whoever we want. I am not a cheater.” I hated that tag more than anything in this life.She looked up at me, still breathing heavily, and not saying anything.I let out a sigh. “Stand up.”As though her body was wired to follow my orders, she stood up and didn’t protest as I carried her into the bathroom connected to my office. “Are you lying to me?” She questioned in a small voice.“I have no reason to lie. If I were cheating, there’s honestly nothing you could do about it. Do you realize that?” She glared at me for that question.Abigail seemed calm now. She had walked into my office with fire blazing from her ears, ready to bring hell to me for daring to touch her while I was married. As I said before, I didn’t know whether to classify her as brave or stupid for doing something as silly and courageous as slapping her boss. I could literally fire
Abigail Hayes~•~“Abby! You have a delivery!”I stuck my head out of the bathroom door at Maya’s voice. “What? I didn’t order anything.”“Well, it clearly says Abigail Hayes and it has our apartment complex on it.”“Accept it for me then,” I told her before I continued to scrub down my body while trying to recall if I ordered something and forgot about it. Nothing came to mind. I’d been too broke these last few days to order anything. I’d only been working for a total of two weeks and I got paid monthly. It was a good thing the month was coming to an end soon.As soon as I was done in the bathroom, I dried off my body and wrapped a robe around my body. It was Saturday, which meant it was my free day if George didn’t suddenly decide he needed me to accompany him to one of his dinners again. He had too many of those and I didn’t know why he never took his wife with him.I strolled out of the bathroom and went straight to the kitchen. “What’s in it?” I asked Maya.“I don’t know.” She s
Abigail Hayes~•~George Galanti was a businessman so there was no surprise with the way he got things done.The next Monday, I had no choice but to take the car to work, but that meant I had to wake up earlier than usual because unlike what my boss had said, the traffic in New York was more unpredictable.“Can you be fucking quiet!” Maya yelled out of her room. “I have the day off and I’m trying to fucking sleep in.”“Sorry!” I squeaked out as the pans continued to clang against each other. I was trying to make breakfast and lunch so I could take it to work. There was a company cafeteria but I didn’t like going there. The food was amazing – only the best for a company like GG Enterprise – but I didn’t know anyone and it was weird eating alone. Come to think of it, I’d never seen my boss eating lunch.“I hate you.”“Sorry!” I apologized again. “You’ll sleep when I’m gone.”I heard her groan out loud and I chuckled, trying to be quiet. As an apology, I made breakfast for her as well fo
George Galanti~•~Abigail didn’t know how much her face betrayed her emotions. She tried to keep whatever she was thinking to herself but it was clearly splayed on her face and I didn’t plan to tell her that.She showed up at work the next day in a shorter dress and I had to keep my smile to myself until she was out of the room.She liked having someone to give her orders. She liked it when I told her what to do, even if she tried to lie to herself about it. She also liked to ogle me for some reason. If she was horny, she could just say that, but she had transformed from the straightforward person I met two weeks ago to a shy reserved woman.Whenever I stared at her for too long, I’d catch her squeezing her legs together and whenever she stared at me for too long, she’d zone out and stop hearing what I was saying.I knew that what I was doing with her was dangerous. I was playing a game of push and pull and I could very well get attached, but it was too damn fun seeing her struggle to
