Pierce pov
♤♤♤
When I noticed her walking towards the restroom
I looked around to see if anyone is there but it was empty, no one was in the building
What is she doing this long ?
Do they give her too much work to handle ?
Those were the questions striked my mind
I told my assistant to take the team down and that, I'll be there in few minutes
She doesn't question me
And that's why I like her , Maya whose been at my side since the start of my career
As she entered the elevator
I followed her
What's her name ?
I looked at her
As she slowly hummed the song
The wordings which I couldn't gasp
I looked at her waist as she swayed them
Fuck ,did she even notice me entering ?
I asked myself
Of course not , she hadn't noticed me
But when the elevator stops in the mid air
With those panicked eyes she stared at me
It took everything I got to maintain my compose and staying f*****g far from her
It took everything in me not to tear her clothes apart and take her right there
But when she kissed me ?
I didn't expect that
I was shocked, is an understatement
But before I could process the feeling of her lips against mine as i sucked her lower lip
The elevator stopped
And i had to push her away , no other option was left open for me
I'm going mad after that kiss
I got a glimpse of her lips and I want everything she offers to me
I'm staring at my speech which I'm suppose to deliver in an hour
At a live press conference
I'm supposed to be getting ready to go the conference
But all I can do is , rewind the kiss in the elevator which happened the previous night
I woke up at night twice and jerked off myself thinking about her
How dare she is ?
She could have lost her job if someone else was there in my place
I can still get her fired but me ?
No
Never
I can't let her go
Not after that kiss
I call Maya
"Yes MR.Graham?" She walks into my office
"Whose doing the article on the amendments of child support act ?" I ask her
"Our chief writer " she tells me
I nod at her
"What about the new girl?"
"What was her name ?"
I pretend
"Ms.Jenner "Maya reminds me
"Right "
I turn around so I look at her
"She was telling me something about her ideas which intrested me ." I lie again
"Oh is it ?"Maya looks at me ,not buying my s**t
She knows you Pierce
"Yup " I tell her as I settle on my chair
"Why don't you send her to my office?
I have few spare minutes I can ask about her ideas "
I tell her as I look at my speech
"However I'm done with this .I know every line of it "
Another lie
"As you say sir " she leaves the office
I take a deep breathe
Waiting anxiously
I hear a knock at my door
And I keep my voice straight
"Yes ?"
I see Maya and when I look behind her
I see her
Red pencil skirt with red heels and a printed blouse
Red lipstick complementing her look
Her hairs left free
"Thank You Maya " I tell her
She nods and leaves
That's when Charlotte steps in
Her heavy breathing shows me she's nervous
"How are you feeling today Ms.Jenners ?"I ask her as I motion her to sit in the chair infront of me
Her heels click the ground as she walks towards me
"I'm good thank you sir " she stares at her hands
Not facing my eyes
"Look at me Ms.Jenner .
I don't like it when people avoid eye contact unless you have something else going on " I tell her
She looks up to my eyes
"I'm so sorry about yesterday .
I don't know what I was thinking
I don't know what came into my mind .
It was such unethical behavior of me , please understand that I wasn't thinking myself .
I was panicked and you were being nice to me .
I know nothing can change the fact
If you want you can fire me but I want you to know I have never done such thing before. I don't want you to think less of me "
She utters her words so swiftly
I try hard not to smile
"I'm not going to fire you "I tell her as I lean back on my chair
"Your not ?" Her eyes surprised
I shake my head no
"Thank you , thank you so much Pierce "
As soon she realizes that she has taken my name
She covers her mouth by her hand ,closing her eyes ,shaking her head
"I mean Mr.Graham " she looks up to me
"That's right " I tell her
"Are you aware about the new amendments on the child support?" I ask her
For which she nods
"I want you to do the article on that "
"What ?" She blurts out shocked
"I'm sorry, but me ?" She asks me
And I nod at her
"Yes ,you "I tell her
"You can draft a copy and run it to me .
I'll help you out " I tell her
"Oh my god ,I can't believe this
Thank you sir , thank you so much " she smiles at me
I nod at her
"Your welcome " I tell her as she gets up from her chair
I walk towards her
"About yesterday, I'm sorry again " she looks at me as I open the door for her to leave
"That's okay but I didn't knew until yesterday that kissing helps while your having hard time in breathing "
I smile at her
"I feel so terrible "
I look at her as her head goes down
"Don't, it's fine " I tell her
She looks at me ,her eyes wide
"Its fine ?" As she repeats my words
