God, the list was endless - I could write a book on the number of secretaries he’s had in the last couple of years. I debated whether I should bother getting to know their names, because I never expected them to last the full week. Scarlett did and I had a crazy notion that maybe she would last the whole month.
I was wrong.
“I came in at seven like you said and I signed the contract.” I tried not to look at him, because I kept thinking about Scarlett and the fact that he was cheating on her with the CFO.
I was here for one reason alone.
To work.
Even if the man had a reputation, one that Scarlett didn’t hesitate in sharing graphically over email from time to time. She even invited me to the wedding. I assumed that she was young or that his brown eyes had sparkled and sent her into a trance. I shook my head at the idea of him doing the same to me.
He stood up, and walked over to me in his smoky grey suit and red tie. Not every man would have been able to pull off that look, but it just made him look seductive. And as he towered over me, I lost all sense of direction.
“Nice, I mean good…I didn’t…you’re Olivia, right?” he asked as he came close to me. His cologne lingered and I could smell his warm and spicy scent. I couldn’t get it out of my mind as he spoke. It was as if I was watching his lips move and the only thing that I was focusing on was his tongue.
“Olivia, the virtual assistant?”
I nodded but then I needed to do something more than nod as he extended his hand. I didn’t want to shake it. I didn’t even want to be in the same room as him.
“I’ve seen your feet,” he blurted out as she shook my hand.
“What?”
“Sorry, I was just thinking out loud”
“About my feet?”
Now, this whole thing was just strange, first the man was kissing the CFO and now he was referring to my feet.
“Your blog. Your feet were on there.”
“So they were…”
I didn’t know what was going on here; it felt as if I was stuck in the Twilight Zone or something. My hand was still in his and now he was stroking it.
“I saw your hands too.”
Now he was freaking me out.
I took back my hand and blurted out, “I didn’t get here at seven to watch you making out with your CFO and for you to be checking out my hands and feet. Especially when you’re getting married to Scarlett. I think that me coming in was a mistake.”
My phone was ringing, so I quickly ran out of his office. Ross wasn’t saying anything worth staying in there for anyway. I mouthed “Excuse me” and he simply nodded.
I knew that there was only one person that could be ringing me at that time in the morning. My brother.
“Carl what is it?”
“Oh, Olivia I don’t know if I can do this.”
My heart was beating out of control. What did he fucking mean?
“What?”
“I get here and she doesn’t even recognize me.”
That was my day practically every day. What did he think would happen? And when I left him this morning and she was sleeping, he told me not to worry. That was nearly an hour ago. Now, I was fucking panicking.
“Then I fed her and she gets angry and throws it at me.”
