《LILLIAN ✩》6 - Go Home
Advertisement
The car ride to the main office was silent. Like awkwardly silent.
Mr. Grey hasn't spoken a word since the meeting. He hasn't even cracked a smile once the other boss gave him 30% of a business idea that he has not once contributed to.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"
"No, you're right. Everything between us should be kept appropriate and professional." He says calmly.
I shrink back in my seat, praying that his personal driver would run over all the other cars in the New York traffic so I could get to my little PA room and cry.
I whisper, "Okay." With a trembling lip. I don't know why it's trembling.
"How old are you again?" He looks down at his watch in impatience.
My eyes perk up, glad that he started a conversation, "I just turned nineteen last month."
"Okay." Mr. Grey replies coldly.
I press my lips in a tight line and look outside my car door's window, while fighting back tears.
He takes a deep breath in, "Also, you'll find in your business email an invitation I forwarded to you."
"For what?" I continued to look out the window.
"A ball. On Friday night, more towards downtown in the grand ball room."
"Can I bring someone?" I ask.
He scrunches his eyebrows, "No."
I wanted to ask if I could bring Esther. I can't go to a business ball by myself!
"But-"
"I said no. Bring yourself. It's an extremely formal black tie event. I can send you a dress."
I stare back out the window, sullenly, "I have one." I whisper.
He doesn't respond and opens his phone.
Quickly wiping my watery eyes, I face towards him, "Once again, I'm sorry. I don't want anything being awkward or- we-"

He sighs heavily, "Miss Heart, I don't want to give you the impression that this is what having a job is like. I shouldn't have touched you or said anything inappropriate. Now stop mentioning it."
—
There was about an hour left of my shift, but I'm sure I could finish this task in 30 minutes.
The second we got back to the office, Mr. Grey left a list on my desk in the room connected to his. Without a word, he left the office with an extremely attractive bimbo female.
Yes, I would agree that seeing them leave left a scratch in my heart. But, that man isn't mine. And his personal relationships have nothing to do with me.
I didn't know that relationships weren't like the books or movies, apparently.
I took a look at the list and saw loads of assignments for me. It was only 12 PM at the time, but now it is almost 8 and he is still not back.
The sun has set and I am exhausted.
I've been used to doing work like this. Refusing to pick up my phone until I am finished. The only time I picked up my phone was to tell Miss Aird to pick me up, other than that I shut it off.
My last task was to send out the final copy of the ball invitations in a few days. Apparently, Mr. Grey sealed a deal with a company that was growing quickly in success and popularity. They felt it was necessary to celebrate this infusion, so they're hosting a ball.
The invitations say that plus ones are allowed, so why can I bring one? It makes no sense.
My manicured finger clicked send for the very last few recipients. With the clock reading 7:56 PM, I quickly got up and grabbed my bag.

I would say today was a very successful day. I hope he will be satisfied with my progress, even though I am extremely inexperienced to be in an organized environment. I know what to do, but not necessarily how to do it.
Walking out the office, I realized that I had forgotten to close my door. I run back in.
My small heels click on the floor, but soon mesh with the noises of other heels that do not sound too feminine.
"Miss Heart."
I freeze in my spot.
I hear him begin to walk closer, "You're supposed to be done at 8:30, not 8. Correct?"
His voice sends chills down my spine. Slowly, I turn around to face him, his figure standing a couple feet away.
The ambience of the office is dark with small orange lighting casted over our faces. I made sure to light a few candles that look like they've never been lit a day in their life.
Bright lights from the dark, but lively city occasionally shine in through the walls made of glass.
I could hear the air conditioner suddenly stop, like it usually does every once in a while, but it made the situation more tense.
How do I respond?
All my calmness has disappeared right in this moment. I left my pills on the counter at home, and I'm supposed to take the twice a day.
I thought taking two at once would suffice, but apparently not.
Cracking my fingers I respond, "I-I finished."
"There's always more to do." He responded huskily, with no time wasted.
There's nothing else I could've known to do. I only do as I'm told.
"I only do as I'm told, sir." I put my head down.
Mr. Grey clicks his tongue a few times, "I could decipher that within the first few moments I saw you, Miss Aird."
He walks slightly closer, but stops.
My breath stills in anticipation. Is he going to-
"Go home." He sighed, his voice completely changing.
I look up at him with red cheeks, only to see him loosening his tie and walking towards his desk, "Get some rest. Be here by 9 AM."
I nod, even though he couldn't see me.
"I mean, yes, sir. I will. Thank you." I slightly speak up. I remember how much he always prefers I use my words instead of my head.
Before turning to leave, I spot the smallest of smirks resting on his face. I press my lips together and walk towards the elevator.
