Whoever filled that role still wouldn’t be Rena, though.
“So, what title will you give her?” Joe asked.
“I thought about that,” I said. “Her strengths lie in connecting with people. She knows everything about everyone’s position around here, even though it’s not her job. I’ve been watching her. And she is organized. She prioritizes.”
“How about office manager? We’ll put her in charge of a couple of people. Almost like project manager, but wider.”
I thought about it for a moment and nodded. That sounded perfect for Rena. I could push up her salary, too, even though she earned a lot of money as it was. I wanted to look after her, to give her exactly what she needed.
She had rejected my money when I’d offered to pay for her clothes, and I couldn’t get over that. I wanted to be the one she relied on, in a way. It was a possessive thing that was completely out of place. Why did I care so much?
When the meeting with Joe was over, I went to my office and waited for Rena to arrive. She usually arrived an hour before I did. It was strange being in the office without her. Rena had become synonymous with the office for me. She was always here when I was, arriving before me and often only leaving after I did.
Would that change if we bumped her up? Maybe, but she deserved this.
I was anxious to see her. I felt bad about how I left last night. The whole situation had been difficult to deal with. First, we’d had the best sex I’d ever had—the lingerie she’d worn had made me lose complete control—then the condom had broken and ruined everything. It’d killed the mood completely.
I was stressed about it, too. I’d heard stories about condoms breaking, but it wasn’t the same as thinking it would happen to me. It seemed like the kind of thing that only happened to college kids or something. Not for big-shot billionaires like me.
I probably hadn’t handled it well. I would have to make it up to her.
I closed my eyes and thought about the sex we’d had again. Rena was full of surprises. Every time I thought I’d reached the end of what she had to offer, she pulled something else out to surprise me. The lingerie was so bold when she’d always seemed to be on the shy side. I liked that I was getting to know other sides of her, sides that no one else knew. I liked that part the most. It was almost like who she was, the dirty side of her, was our little secret.
Of course, I didn’t know for sure that she wasn’t like this with other people when she was in a sexual relationship with them. I wondered if other men had seen this side of her.
Jealousy welled up inside of me. What the fuck? I pushed it away. No, she was just like that with me, I told myself. I was being ridiculous.
Rena arrived a short while later and brought a cup of coffee to my office, one that was usually waiting for me on my desk.
“Thank you,” I said, taking it from her. “I’d like to talk to you when you have a chance.”
Rena nodded. She was as sexy as ever, wearing a green dress suit that made her look fresh and professional. But she looked a little guarded. I didn’t like it. I didn’t like that I had done this to her.
“I have to take care of a few things first, but I’ll come to your office once I’m done.”
I had to accept that. Rena left my office to take care of her business. I started working, going through my morning routine, but I struggled to concentrate. My mind was on Rena in the other office. I thought about her a lot lately.
I opened a blank document on my laptop and started typing the list of new duties Rena would have to fulfill when I promoted her. I was essentially creating a new position for her, and I would have her renewed contract ready for her later.
After she had taken care of everything she needed to do, Rena came back into the office.
“Sit down,” I said to her and smiled. “I have some exciting news.”
Rena looked curious.
“Your work this week in Boston showed me that you’re in the wrong position in this company. I want to promote you.”
She raised her eyebrows, surprised.
“Joe and I spoke about it. You’re capable of much more than you’re doing at present, so we want to make you office manager.”
