ANGELA
Two years later…
The light comes in from the windows, and we stretch out our arms.
“Good morning, beautiful,” Stefan says, leaning over to kiss me before he gets in the shower.
Of course, before Christmas two years ago, I had all these expectations of what it would be like if I ever got my shot with Stefan Valentino, and I can say that none of them touch the reality. He is attentive, loving, supportive, and great in bed. He takes time out of his day to make sure he sends me cute text messages to let me know he’s thinking about me. He’s very sweet.
“Are you riding into work with me today?” he screams from the shower.
“Yeah, I’ll start getting ready now!”
After my accident, things took a turn in my family. All the animosity between my father and brother were squashed. My father didn’t ever want to see any of his kids in the hospital again, and he even encouraged me to find a different job that wasn’t so dangerous. Honestly, I never thought my father would do that.
Denise, Stefan’s assistant, ended up leaving to go to a different company, which he expected when she found out that he was planning on selling the company eventually. He brought me in, had her train me, and I’ve been here ever since. Don’t worry, we keep it professional while in the office, but it’s nice to be so close to him all the time.
Glaridy ended up signing the partnership with Valdon Technologies and over the last two years, they have become a half a billion-dollar company. Stefan thrived as the face of the company, but never let it go to his head. This is all about his retirement and being able to dedicate the rest of his life to whatever he wanted. If he wants to go to Europe next week for a month, he can. So, he busted his ass, fourteen hours a day, to make sure that everything is ready to go when it’s time to sell.
Stefan walks out of the bathroom and strides into my closet, but ass naked.
“You know we don’t have time. Why are you such a tease?” I say, grabbing a shirt and snapping it at his ass.
Nothing is sexier than seeing him all dressed up in his suits. Fuck, can that man pull off a suit like it’s nobody’s business.
I throw on my gray pencil skirt and red blouse. “Gotta leave in ten for you to make it early for your meeting.”
Sometimes, I forget to shut off his assistant part of me, but today isn’t a day we can afford to be late. The company is officially up for sale, and he has already had ten offers come in. He is meeting with his lawyer today to go over them and the fine print.
The thing about Stefan, he doesn’t want to just sell the company to anyone. He wants the software to go into good hands. Keep it doing good.
He comes back in right as I’m putting on my pumps. “Fuck, you look hot.”
Stefan likes to be funny in the morning, and sometimes he likes to tease me, knowing that I’ll never turn down an opportunity to get him in between my legs, but this morning is different. This is everything he has been working toward, and it’s all coming to fruition.
“You got this, baby. Just think. Next week, you could be laying on a beach somewhere, never having to work another day in your life.”
He walks over to me from behind and puts his arms around me. “And neither will you. Hope you like to travel, because we won’t be staying in the same place long. Are you ready for that?”
Stefan has been very transparent about his plans for when the company sells. He wants to travel the world, and experience all the things on his bucket list. He doesn’t want me to work, but come with him. At first, I was against it, because I don’t like having to rely on anyone else for money, but he has been very forthcoming about everything.
“Okay, we have to go!”
I grab my purse, and rush down the stairs, him chasing after me, and grab the keys by the front door. “You’re driving today. That cop loves to pull me over for no fucking reason.”
So, maybe I used that as an excuse so I can slap on my makeup since we were running out of time, but he doesn’t need to know that.
His hand goes to my inner thigh and squeezes it. “We are going to have to celebrate later. And I want you to wear that.”
There is something about him that just lights a fire inside me. I always feel like the sexiest woman in the world when he’s around.
We pull into the parking garage, and his hand goes to the small of my back until we are on our floor and that’s when we turn into professional mode. Everyone in the office knows that we are together, but we don’t want to push it in their faces.
“I’m going to go through severance packages this morning until the lawyer arrives. Just buzz me when he gets here, please.”
There’s another thing that makes me fall even harder for Mr. Valentino. Not every company does severance packages when they sell, but he made it clear that his employees deserve them. He wouldn’t have been able to build this company to this caliber without them. They deserve some extra pay for that. He and I sat down last week and tried to come up with the best solution on how to decide how much each person gets. Time at the company has been the easiest way to figure it. For each year they have been employed with Valdon, they will get ten thousand dollars severance.
I get to my desk and turn the computer on, checking emails, and making sure there is nothing urgent for Stefan to work on this morning. I take my job very seriously, even more so because I’m dating the boss. If I do something wrong, it looks back on him too.
