I walked into my office stylishly, dropped my bag on the couch and took a seat. I wore a black shirt with a knee length pencil skirt. What happened yesterday can't possibly be reviewed.
I sighed tiredly and turned on my computer. I couldn't get a really good sleep last night. I kept thinking about Felix. I couldn't help it. What happened last night still makes me paralyzed. Whenever I think about it, it makes my heart flutter. After residing in my bedroom last night, I kept the flower in a flower vase. That's the first gift a guy will give me so I have to nurture it.
I missed class because of what happened yesterday. I already demand a weekend class. I'm better off part time. I won't have much time during the week. I picked up a document and reviewed it. These are the ones which need Felix signature. I packed all the documents on one side. I will drop it at his office later, I thought. I began reviewing the ones I had to.
I entered his office and found it empty. Isn't he around? Didn't he come today? I think that's better because I have been thinking about how I am going to face him. I was getting to be confident in front of him but making me feel special yesterday made me get my cold feet back. I dropped the document on his table. I sighed and rubbed my forehead.
Isn't he in his office? Is it something I should be worried about as his PA? Different thoughts ran through my head before making the decision of minding my business.
"Hy". I heard when I was about to exit his office. I turned back and stared at him. He looks kind of exhausted. He came out from a door, it looked like a bedroom.
"Hi. I dropped the document on your table. It needs your signature". I said politely, giving out my best smile. That's something I do when I am nervous. I'm really nervous. He chuckled and sat on his couch. This office is quite spacious. A brand designated couch in an office, a big bathroom in an office. Americans do live differently or am I the one naive?
"You can come in anytime. Stop acting like I restricted you from coming in". He said. I smiled and looked down at my feet. Is he trying to make me free with him? I really want to but him being married is setting out a boundary. "Mary, please take a seat".
I looked up at him "Sir…"
"Felix". He cuts in. "Felix, I'm quite busy," I replied.
"I just want to have a talk with you". As he said that, my stomach grumbled. I'm hungry. It's almost time for lunch.
"Maybe after lunch. I'm hungry" I pouted. He laughed "I should treat you to lunch then. But I have to do some things before coming. I will meet you there". I smiled and hurried out of his office. He has a way of making me lose my breath.
I sat at the cafeteria across the company waiting for him. We agreed to have lunch here but why is he not here yet? I thought, sipping my drink. Or has he thought against it?
I heaved a sigh of frustration.
"Excuse me". I looked up and saw a young man in front of me. He looks so cute with his blonde hair. He has a lean body. He can't stand beside my Felix but I couldn't help but feel flattered by his presence. Americans sure have a lot of cute guys.
"Yes," I replied.
"Do you mind if I sit with you?".
"Sure, no problem". I said before I made meaning of what came out of my mouth. I'm expecting Felix. I glanced at my watch. I don't think he will make it.
"Are you waiting for someone?" He said as he took his seat.
"Not really".
"Won't you order for food".
"Ohh.. Am okay with this". I replied. I don't really know his mission of sitting in front of me. Back then, I didn't really have guys coming after me because of how poor I look.
"I'm Ethan and you".
"Mary".
"What a nice name. I guess you are here for lunch. Where are you working?" He asked. I felt he was too forward about asking where I work.
"At the Royal's Company"
"I'm a lawyer".
We talked about so many things and he gave me his business card. When I glanced at the time, I realized it's five minutes before lunch ends.
"I will have to get going". I said. He was about to reply when I heard his husky voice "Mary". I looked up and saw Felix. He was standing in front of me so he was beside Ethan. I stood up to confront him when he averted his gaze from me to Ethan. I shook in fear as I've never seen the look he was giving out. His eyes were full of fury. He looked back at me and walked out without saying a word.
"Ethan, please excuse me". I said and ran after him. What's wrong with him? He was late in the first place and this. Was he jealous? No, I don't think so.
He walked ahead and crossed over the road.
I entered his office and met him sitting on the couch with his head on his lap. I walked closer to him, "Felix". I called out.
He raised his head up and looked at me intensely. His eyes were both red. Was he really jealous? I was just talking to Ethan.
He stood up and came closer to me "I don't know what you are doing to me but I don't like it". He said before crashing his lips on me. I tried wriggling out but he held me tight deepening the kiss. My body relaxed and I kissed him back.
Suddenly, I heard the door opening and broke out from the kiss. I diverted my gaze to the door and gasped when I saw Stephanie. Felix's wife! She caught us again. I was covered in guilt and shame. She looked hurt and came closer to me landing a slap on my cheek. I gasped and touched my cheek. When was the last time I got slapped? Since when I left my madam's house, Since when I quit being a house help. And here I am getting slapped by a married woman.
Immediately, I ran out of his office. I locked my office door and sat down wallowing in sadness. I tried avoiding him. He kissed me first. Tears threatened to fall but I sent it back. I can't cry on what I have no power of.
