Lennox stepped into his office, stopping in his tracks as he noticed that everything had been cleaned and arranged. A strawberry smoothie graced the center of his, with an energy bar. The review of the financial reports was placed neatly on his desk, she had highlighted all the important details making it a lot easier. He looked around for the phone he had smashed, searching the waste bin but coming up with nothing. He stepped towards his desk, picking up the paper underneath the smoothie.Dear sir.Don't worry about the phone, I already got a new one. The smoothie is to make your day brighter and enjoy the additional snack. I already reviewed the report, so that's cleared off your schedule for today. Have a nice day sir Lennox Ray".Your assistant.Lennox read and read it again, remembering the day before, how he'd shouted at her and smashed her phone. He felt horrible, even tho he'd been at breaking point, his head on the verge of exploding, he shouldn't have taken his anger out on

Lennox ran his fingers through his hair, messing up his hard labor of making it slick and straight. He hadn't been sleeping well, not when thoughts of what his new assistant would be up to the next day plagued his mind like a virus. He'd come to anticipate a surprise whenever he stepped into his office, so he was shocked when he saw his empty desk.Did she quit already? Was it because I didn't apologize for her phone?. He questioned himself, ruining his hair further in frustration. He didn't want to care, wasn't this what he wanted, her leaving because she couldn't take it anymore. It was, but he felt awful. He almost sighed in relief when the door opened and she stepped in with her blinding wide smile, her eyes shining at him. He found it hard to breathe for a second. "Good morning sir Lennox, you must have been surprised because I didn't come in earlier right?" She asked excitedly, as she waited for him to answer."I wasn't waiting for you," he said, avoiding her gaze, he tried not

Here we go again, Sophia thought as she ran after Lennox to tell him his next schedule even after countless times he'd told her not to. Lennox approached the elevator, Sophia caught up with him, then pressed the elevator open button for him to get inside. Sophia turned to go take the stair but the warm hand wrapping around her wrist had her breath hitching, as she whirled to face him before her gaze dropped to where his hands held her. He seemed to realize the contact and he jerked his hand to his side, avoiding her gaze as he cleared his throat."You can ride the elevator with me" he stated and Sophia almost threw a fist in the air after getting over her initial surprise. She stepped in, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes as the elevator closed. Sophia pressed against the wall as the elevator suddenly became too small to house the man who seemed to suck in all the space around him, she felt as if there was something about him that tugged at her, pushing her to want to get c

Sophia dragged her hand through her hair, sighing as her mind drifted to all the problems that seemed to be hanging over her head. seeking respite she picked up her phone, scrolling through her apps. Sophia sighed as she clicked on the camera roll, and the first picture that caught her eyes had her seating straighter as she glanced around to see if anyone was staring at her.The life of a criminal, Sophia muttered in her head, staring at the image of Lennox on his bed. Sophia gaped, memorizing every little detail, a smile tugging on her lips."Why are you grinning at your phone," Tzuyu said making Sophia jump, automatically slamming her phone on the table before she could stop herself. Sophia glared at Tzuyu who looked amused."Can you not sneak up on people, I almost died just now, you scared the crap out of me" she got out shakily, as she placed her phone back into her purse.Tzuyu crossed her arms. "What's these vibes I'm getting from you, Sophia? You seemed suspicious so I wanted

BAR.Sophia ordered more shots even as the bartender gave her a skeptical look. Your job is to serve drinks and not to ask questions, or decide who to sell drinks to, except if they were underage, Sophia thought, the fact was that she was not underage hence why she could order as many as she wanted until she fucked up her liver. Sophia was tired of everyone, her boss, her friends if they were even friends anymore, and the whole cause of their break-up was no other than her overbearing Boss Mr. Lennox, and of course Jonathan.After two more shots, her head was spinning and everything felt fuzzy. She reached for the glass in front of her when the bartender reached out to stop her."Hey, you look washed out, I think you should stop now".Sophia looked up at him, anger raging up her chest. "Don't fucking tell me what to do, you're not the boss of me... I already take orders from my jerk of a boss, and now I have to take orders from you too, let the fuck go" she shouted, yanking the drink
