The Perfect Bribe

Grant is currently at a fashion shoot with his Assistant, Brittany. They were assigned to be the make-up artist and Fashion Coordinator for a magazine photoshoot. They need to do the overall styling on one of the famous and bankable actress in the showbiz industry today. After doing the final touches on Taylor Parker's face, Grant's eyes surveyed her overall look. And it looks like something's still missing. "Brittany, please get the Marco Gianotti coat." he ordred his Assistant. "Got it, Boss." Brittany quickly responded. She immediately towards the nearby clothing rack to get the fur coat. “Why do you look so serious, Grant? We are in a private room so there is nothing wrong if we can have a "little fun." Taylor said, in a flirting manner. She let her fingers linger towards Grant's hard chest, until it traveled down...And down. Grant and I immediately grabbed Taylor’s hand to stop her from going down further. “Stop it, Taylor! We're still at work! ” he muttered at her. "Oh, you're playing hard to get now,huh?I actually like it..." Taylor seductively whispered. There was a flicker of fire in her eyes as she slowly moved her face towards Grant's face. She's now getting closer... "I said stop it!" Grant roared at Taylor, as she moved away from her. Meanwhile,Britanny was at the doorway while holding the fur coat. She was too shocked to move. She can't believe that she saw that "intimate moment" between her Boss and Taylor Parker with her very own eyes! She can't wait to spill the beans to all of her girls back in the office... “Why don't you kiss me? Don’t you find me sexy and attractive?" Greta asked,while pouting like a sulking child. "You're beautiful,Taylor, there's no doubt about it, but I-----!" Grant wasn't able to finish what he was about to say when Taylor spoke again. "So I guess the rumor about you is true, afterall. You're gay!" she sarcastically stated. Grant lets out an audible sigh after he heard Taylor's remark. "I'm not gay!" "Then prove it to me. Kiss me right now." Taylor challenged hum. "I don't have to prove anything to you." he stiffly replied. “I knew it! You really are gay. Maybe the news about yout ex-girlfriend isn't true. Maybe you just made it up so that you can cover your true identity! And oh,I also heard from the grapevine that you and Anthony Jenkins have a secret relationship. I guess that's true as well, huh? ” Taylor continued mocking him. “I don’t have to explain myself to you. But I have to apologize to you, for hurting your pride as a woman.” Grant sarcastically shot back. "You bastard!" Taylor was about to slap Taylor when Brittany started entering the room. “B-Boss! This is the coat you've asked for! ” she immediately made her entrance to stop Taylor from doing any harm to her Boss. Her loyalty is still with her Boss... Taylor tried to regain her composure, as if nothing happened. “Thank you, Brittany. Let’s get back to work now, Taylor. Put this coat on and go to the photoshoot. Everyone's waiting.” Grant said, in a professional manner. Afterwards, he walked out from the dressing room. Taylor did not say anything else. She quietly wore the fur coat and after that, she walked out from the dressing room, and went to her photoshoot session. When Brittany was left alone in the dressing room, she immediately took out her phone and called one of her co -workers who were working back in the office. "Girls, get ready because I have a juicy news for you all! I'll tell you about it over drinks after work,okay?" she said it all in one breath. ******************** Back at Jolie Professional Hair and Make-up Office: All of the employees quickly returned to their working desks when they heard Grant Claravall's voice. They already expected their Boss coming back to their office in a bad mood because Brittany already gave them a warning via text message. Everyone pretended to be busy as their Boss entered the office. At the same time, Gianna pretended to be busy wiping the coffee table when their Boss walking towards her way. She lets out a sweet smile towards him, as she held her breath in suspense. She was surprised to see the her Boss is staring back at her! Is her dream finally coming true? Did her Boss finally noticed her? What is she going to do in this situation? She gulped nervously when Grant stopped infront of her and stared at her face... “Fix your face, AAA. for goodness ’sake, you're working in a company that specializes in make-up, but look at you! Your lipstick is too much. Even your teeth have a lipstick stain!" Grant reprimanded her. Gianna's fantasy crumbled. Her Prince Charming's roasting her for her make-up. And he still can't remember her name because he still keeps on calling her AAA eventhough she's been working for him for two years aready. "AAA" stands for "All Around Assistant." “Sorry, girl. Our Boss is in a bad mood today so that's why we all have to be careful. I'll tell you what happened later,okay? ” Brittny quickly whispered at her. Gianna quickly returned to her desk. She stared at the computer screen. She noticed that one of her co-workers, Marsha, sent a message in their secret group chat. “Are you alright,Gianna? Boss Grant did hit you really hard,huh?” “I'm okay, but my heart's a little broken. ” Gianna sadly replied in the chat. "Let's have a drink later, Gia! Let's relax and forget about it!" Marsha responded. "Okay. Same time and same place." Brittany joined the chat. Gianna sighed as she opened her purse. There is a cut out photo of Grant, and she got it from a popular fashion magazine. " I bet you'll be more handsome if you smile even just a little bit..." she dreamily whispered, while lovingly looking at her Boss' photo...
