Zina’s POV
I woke up feeling sore all over and noticed I wasn’t in my room. I shifted and looked next to me to find a completely naked Mr. Christian and I looked at myself too, completely naked. s**t! I f*****g slept with my boss! It took me a few minutes to remember the passionate night and how I basically brought this upon myself as I was the one who made the move.
“f**k!” I muttered while grabbing my clothes and putting it on before rushing home. “s**t Zina, okay this is just a one-night-stand. Nothing more, just casual” I told myself as I showered once I got home.
The whole weekend passed by fast and Mr. Christian never messaged me or looked for me so he definitely treated this as a one time thing only also. I was working on the new files for the day when Mr. Christian came in and walked up to my desk. I looked up at him puzzled at his movement.
“Good Morning Zina,” he smiled, “come into my office for a little” he said as he opened his door and left it open. As soon as I got inside his office I felt a strong pair of arms wrapping around my waist and pushing me against the now closed door. “You smell good” he whispered in my ears before placing kisses on my neck. I quickly pushed him away because I know what he wants and I am not down to be someone’s casual f**k.
“Mr. Christian,” I said but he interrupted me, “I like it when you call me Elijah more” he smirked but I ignored him and continued.
“Mr. Christian, what we did last time was just a one time thing. I’m not one of your sluts. It was just a mistake, I was drunk so let’s leave it as that. Nothing more then, nothing more now. Here’s the necklace you lent me last time, I’m returning it to you now.” I gently placed the box with the necklace inside on his desk before opening the door and closing it on him without looking back. My heart was beating so fast. My body wanted him but he’s never serious with anyone and I’ll just hurt myself. There’s no need to do that to myself. The day went by as normal with barely any interactions with Mr. Christian, he seemed to have gotten my message as a few hours later another one of his toys enters his office for another release session.
After a long and stressful day at work, Stella screwed up with some documents and it took me hours to fix it, I laid on the couch and opened my laptop to check my email. That’s when my eyes landed on an email from Professor McNeal.
Zina darling,
I’m going to have my 60th birthday party at the Hilton this coming weekend. I would be delighted if you could come and celebrate it with me. I have already picked out the perfect dress for you and will send you it these next few days. Also, I will have my son pick you up and escort you to the party. I look forward to seeing you.
Love,
Rebecca McNeal
There’s no reason for me to reject Professor McNeal’s offer, she was always so loving and good to me, looking out for me and she even helped me with this job. The week went by quick and I didn’t have to see Mr. Christian for three days since he was away for a business trip. With him being away from the office also means no sluts and no moaning in the office for once, some peace and quiet I really appreciated.
It was already Friday and I’m at home changing into the dress Professor McNeal got me. It was a beautiful and elegant golden gown that complimented my tanned skin. It was strapless with a sweetheart neckline and floor length with a modest slit that came up mid-thigh. I was so happy that I could wear my strapless bra an underwear in this gown compared to the gown that Mr. Christian made me last time. As I finished curling my hair and putting on very light makeup when my doorbell rang.
“Coming!” I yelled while putting my heels on and grabbing my clutch. I opened the door surprised to see a very well dressed Mr. Christian. His suit matched mine as he wore a golden bow tie with a gold silk pocket square. I looked confused at him and his outfit then looked at my outfit.
“Mr. Christian, what are you doing here?” I asked still clueless as to why he’s here in front of my humble apartment.
“I’m here to pick you up,” he said before grabbing my hand and closing my door.
“What?” I was so confused as he dragged me to the elevator doors.
“My mom told you I was coming didn’t she?” He looked at me and rolled his eyes. Wow attitude much?
“You’re Professor McNeal’s son?” I was shocked. She never told me her son is the CEO I was working for! Is that why he hired me without questioning me?
“She didn’t tell you?” He scoffed.
“I never asked…” I looked away and followed him to his car. The whole drive to the hotel was silent and extremely uncomfortable. For some reason I sense that he was upset at me but I couldn’t tell why, I did everything right and properly all week for him. I didn’t mess up a single time so I wonder what he’s pissed about.
“Zina!” Professor McNeal called me over as soon as she saw me come in with Mr. Christian.
“Professor McNeal!” I called back sweetly and hugged her giving her a kiss on her cheeks. “Happy Birthday! You look as beautiful as always” I smiled while she held my hand in hers as she looked over at Mr. Christian standing next to me.
“Oh stop honey, it’s Rebecca. Is he nice to you at work?” She asked and I looked at Mr. Christian before nodding, “Mr. Christian is really nice to me at work.” I replied and she smiled, he was nice, sometimes, so I’m not really lying.
“Zina you’re here!” I heard someone call my name and turned around to find Antonio running up to me and pulling me into a nice big hug. “Aunty Rebecca said she invited you so I was looking forward to seeing you!” He said while spinning me around. I giggled when he finally let me go, “How have you been?” I asked as Antonio pulled me away from Professor McNeal and Mr. Christian, he excused us as we needed to catch up.
“I’ve been good! I actually just came back from Chile. How have you been?” Antonio and I were classmates in Professor McNeal’s contemporary literature class three years back and we hit it off. He quickly became a friend I could confide in and trust. I helped Antonio when he suffered a big heartbreak with his girlfriend three years ago and he helped me get over mine the year after. We drank a lot together and partied together while keeping each other safe and accountable. When I drank, Antonio wouldn't make sure we’re home safe and when he drank I didn’t.
I caught Antonio up in life about working and even told him about that one night stand accident to which he gasped and smacked me on the arm.
“That’s my cousin and even though he’s family he’s a major ass with women.” He warned as he looked around the room.
“He’s probably screwing some hoe around right now too since I don’t see him around” which caused me to look around and he was right, Mr. Christian was nowhere to be found.
“As your best guy friend, he’s not worth your time, even if he is family.” He told me while patting me on the head. I nodded in agreement and excused myself as I needed to use the restroom. On my way to the restroom I unconsciously searched for Mr. Christian but I couldn’t see him anywhere. I entered the bathroom and heard giggles that suddenly stopped as my heels clicked. I made my way to a stall all the way at the end of the bathroom and began to do my business when I heard soft moans, deep and husky moans that I was very used to. Great, Mr. Christian decided to f**k around in the bathroom while I want to pee, just wonderful.
