Lex's Point of View The next morning, I decided to drop off Rosie to her school after we had breakfast together, we were a few blocks away from her school when she asks me a question. “Have you found your new assistant yet daddy?” she wonders I was a little taken aback by her question but I wasn’t surprised either as she has seen me fire the last assistant, which I explained to her why I had to do it. “Wilma did yesterday buttercup, she’s going to start later today when I arrive at the office.” I answered “Why do you ask hm?” I asked “I just don’t want her to be like Jessie, she was sweet to me when you’re around but she got mean and called me a brat when you’re not there, claiming that I interrupted something. She liked you too much, just like Giselle did.” She pouts “Jessie thinks of me differently but I didn’t feel the same way buttercup, and I’m glad I fired her.” I faked a smile and ignored her last statement “But you felt the same way with Giselle right?” she asks I sighe

I may have been panicking upon knowing that the man that I shared a passionate night with is my new boss and I’ll be working for him starting today, but I set the panic and anxiety aside and arrange the meeting between the Valtoran consulate and Lex- I mean Mr. Moore.I shook my head as I tried to forget the night that we had. I focused on getting my tasks and a few of my things organized before getting lunch reservations at a restaurant, contacting the restaurant that serves the best food in Seattle. I took my phone out and called the restaurant and we began to discuss the reservation.“So your lunch reservations will be this Saturday 11am under the name Henry Moore?” the receptionist asked to confirm “Yes please, a secluded booth is preferred as it is an important business meeting.” I nodded as I jot the time of the meeting on my planner“We can make that happen ma’am. I’ve just been told that Mr. Moore and his family often go here.” The host says cheerfully“That’s great to

Lex’s Point of View “Well Mr. Moore, the Queen will like the economy boost upon knowing that you’re interested in expanding your company to our country. Though if I may ask, why do you want to expand in Valtora? We are a small country.” The Valtoran consul asked as we ate our lunch in the restaurant Safina had chosen for us. “Well I’ve been in Valtora a few times with the recent trip being my honeymoon with my wife and the scenery and tourist spots are beautiful, the people are extremely welcoming, hospitable and kind, my father actually planned to expand to Valtora and make me oversee the project after I graduate college but it didn’t come to pass because he died suddenly on my freshman year.” I stated, taking a sip of the white wine that came with my meal. “Ah I remember Arthur Moore. He’s just as keen as you are to expand in Valtora, though I didn’t meet with him formally to discuss his plans.” He stated “I can tell that your company will boost the Valtoran economy, let’s just ho

I sighed as I watched Lex leave the room, smiling at me before doing so. I’ve rejected a lot of men before while working here and I’m used to seeing angry, disappointed or even sad faces after I turned them down. But why do I feel bad rejecting him? “That’s because you’re into him!” my subconscious yells I shook my head with a frown, ejecting the thoughts in my mind. Sure I find him attractive, and he’s not like other men of the same class and stature that I’ve had the displeasure of encountering in both jobs as a personal assistant and as a stripper. “But whatever happened between us can’t happen anymore, especially now that he’s my f*cking boss.” I mumble to myself with a sigh, shaking my head as I get back outside, getting a drink from the bartender “I wonder what did you do so bad that Mr. Moore had to leave so early.” Ruby says condescendingly with a scoff “What I do with my client is none of your business Ruby. You don’t see me complaining when you hog clients from other

*Meanwhile, in another part of the mall*“Thank you for taking me to eat ice cream daddy!” Rosie exclaims happily, eating her peanut butter and cookie dough ice cream “Though shouldn’t you be still at the office way past my bed time?” she wonders, hot fudge messily sticking on the edge of her mouth “The office isn’t that busy today buttercup, so I decided to spend the rest of my afternoon and my evening with you.” I chuckled, handing her a napkin to wipe her face with “Besides, I didn’t spend my birthday with you remember? So this is my late birthday treat to us.” I added with a grin“Oh yeah I remember, you went out with Uncle Leo! What did he do for your birthday present daddy? Did he give you one too?” she wiped her lips and cheeks with the napkin“He uh took me out to drink and I kinda slept at his place.” I smiled, half lying to my daughter as I ate a spoonful of my own ice cream “He didn’t get you a girlfriend?” she asked and I almost choked at her question but I cleared
