《Working for Him》Chapter 5

Adam Wilson
I woke up from someone kissing me on my temple. I opened my eyes to see Charlene.
Oh no!
"Good morning baby."
I looked at the clock on the side table and saw that is was 9:30am.
"Charlene! Why didn't you wake me up?"
"You looked so peaceful sleeping, I didn't want to disturb you. Plus, I had enough time to stare at that handsome face of yours." She tried to sound sexy but that only made me cringe.
Her hand reached out to cup my face but I quickly stopped her. I stood up from the bed and began to put on my clothes.
"Where are you going?" She asked
"Work! Where else?!" I shouted.
"But-"
"Charlene! I don't have time for this! I'm already late to work because of you!"
"You don't have time for what exactly?" She asked, slightly confused.
I didn't even know why I was angry at her. She was just so annoying for no particular reason.
"I don't know why you're treating me like this. First you call me up for us to get back together, now you're acting strange."
"Wait, did you think that I called you to get back together?" I asked incredulously.
"Of course! Don't tell me that this was just a booty call?"
"Ahhh, yes. That's precisely what it was." I said.
I was happy that she'd managed to interpret it perfectly without me having to explain it.
"You bastard." She spat before she started to pack up her things.
"Hey, at least last night was fun right?" I tried to lighten up the mood a bit, even though I knew I had been an asshole to her.
"Don't you ever call me in your life again!" She barked before she left my bedroom and slammed the door.
Wow, it was always so easy getting rid of her. I don't know what possessed me to call her up in the first place. Probably because I was seriously horny and the only person I wanted was out of bounds. Charlene was the only immediate solution.
On reflection, she hadn't actually solved my problem because I am still not satiated. Sex with her was not as spectacular as it used to be... because now she was the wrong woman.
I even recalled myself once looking at her eyes as I fucked her but imagining another beautiful pair of eyes which belonged to Sophia. The fact that I was having sex with one woman and thinking about another made me so angry that I sped up the pace angrily making Charlene scream. She had no idea that it was Sophia who was in my mind.

How pathetic of me.

Sophia Parker
"Miss Parker, I need you to come into my office right now."
With that I wasted no time jumping up and walking over to his office.
What's up with him?
After all, he was late to work today. Not just 20 minutes late, but 3 hours! Very unlike him.
Today I toned it down a lot and wore just a simple red dress. I also wore a black blazer over it so I don't get too cold. When I got into the office I saw Mr Wilson wearing his jacket like he was about to leave.
"Miss Parker, I have issues to attend to outside the office but I also need some emails replied to as well. Every email that has keywords like 'contract', 'megacorp', and 'conglomerate' in its subject, reply by sending an attachment of the Megacorp contract."
"Okay sir."
"Also, Alice is off sick today so I need you to take my calls. Only redirect to me if it's necessary."
With that he left, leaving me in his huge office alone. I sat down on his chair and the first thing I noticed was the lingering scent of his cologne. He smelled so masculine, I wonder what it would be like to hug him and drown in his strong scent.
I quickly recovered from my daydream, which I immediately banned myself from having, and began to actually work. In the course of replying his emails, his phone rang and I answered.
"Wilson & Co, I'm sorry but Mr Wilson is not available right now. This is his personal assistant, how can I help?" I said politely
"Who is this?" The person barked nastily.
"Um... Like I said, I'm his personal assistant."
"Oh, I hope he's not screwing you too."
"Excuse me!"
"Tell him that Charlene called and I want to make things work between us, he should call me as soon as possible. Okay?"
"Err, okay."
Suddenly the line went dead.
Wow. I had assumed Mr Wilson was semi-single because he hadn't asked me to deliver flowers or book diner reservations in almost two months. I felt so dumb right now. Of course he wasn't single! Of course he had a girlfriend! Even if he didn't, he had people that he was seeing, especially the person who called him on Monday.
I still don't stand a chance. I never will. Tears began to fall from my eyes as all the hopes I had had began to crumble again. This happens every time I see him with someone new.
I need to get over this stupid infatuation I have. He is my boss and it's wrong for him to ever get involved with me in the first place . I shouldn't even care!

I wiped my stupid tears and looked at the time. It was almost 5pm and Mr Wilson was yet to return.
I tidied up his desk and turned off the lights. I also packed up my things from my office. I went to the elevator and pressed the button. After waiting patiently, the door opened and I got in.
There was someone else in the elevator, I usually saw him around the office and in meetings but we'd never really spoke to each other. I believe he led the accounting department.
"Hey." he spoke to me for the first time.
"Hi." I smiled at him.
"I'm Sean Edmund, nice to meet you." He rose his hand and I shook it.
"Nice to meet you too I'm-"
"Sophia Parker, I know. You're Adam's personal assistant."
I laughed a little at his forwardness. He was quite handsome but not like Mr Wilson. Sean was blonde but they both had blue eyes.
"Are you okay? Your eyes look a little puffy. Were you just... crying?" He asked.
"Oh... No I wasn't, I haven't slept in days that's all." I smiled weakly.
"You should get some sleep. How are you getting home?"
"Uh, I'm getting a taxi."
"Mind if I give you a ride?"
"Not at all."
The elevator ride came to a stop and we made our way to his car. He opened the passenger door for me like a gentleman would. And I must say, he had a really nice car. I gave him my address and we started moving.
"So how long have you worked for Adam?" He asked.
"Its been almost 2 years now."
"Oh really? I joined the company about 9 months ago."
"I know. I remember you. I helped Mr Wilson with shortlisting résumés for the Head of Accounting and Finance role. When I saw yours, it was pretty good I must say. I opted for you to get the job."
"Thank you." He laughed and smiled.
"You're welcome."
Although I don't remember him getting interviewed which was strange...
"So what's it like working with him?"
Torture.
"Umm... It's okay I guess. He can be very snappy at times but he's a really good boss. He's very fair and thoughtful. Definitely the best person I've ever worked with."
"Is he now? How many jobs have you had at so far?"
"Three. This is my third. What about you?"
"Seven."
"Oh, well... you didn't put all seven on your resume."
"No I didn't." He said. "And that was by choice. There was always something up with the women that I worked with."
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously.
"I've had three female bosses and they all wanted to sleep with me. When I refused I got fired. Two places, I was fired because the women threw themselves at me and uh, we got caught. I had nothing to do with it but they lied and being the man, it seamed fair to fire me instead. No one believed my side of the story."
"What! That must be terrible! What about your sixth role?" I asked curiously.
"The sixth place was my boss' daughter"
"Oh... How old was she?" I asked, feeling heavily distraught from his revelation.
"She was nineteen. I had only met her a few times before she showed up at my office one day. Let's just say she made a sudden advance towards me and her dad caught us in a compromising position."
"Wow. You've been through a lot. But honestly, who would blame those women? You are good looking." I said and he laughed a little, looking out my window. I followed his gaze and saw that we had reached my home.
"Thanks for the ride, I really appreciate it. It was also nice getting to know you a little bit." I said.
"Same here, Sophia. I guess I'll see you around at the office?"
"Sure. Have a good night."
"Goodnight."
I got out and when I had gotten into my apartment, that's when he drove off.
Sean was a very nice guy and also very good looking too. I don't blame those women for throwing themselves at him. But that's more than enough reason for me to stay away from him. I can't be with someone who constantly has women prying over them. Even if he doesn't want to, they'll make him cheat.
My phone rang and when I looked at the caller ID, it was Mr Wilson. As usual, my heat skipped a beat.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Miss Parker, I'm sorry I couldn't make it back to the office on time. I assume you have left?" He asked. There was a lot of background noise where he was. I could just about hear him.
"Yes, I have."
"Good. Did you do everything I asked you to do?"
"Yes, sir. The emails were sent." I confirmed.
"Did I get any phone calls?"
"Actually, there was one."
"From who?"
From your flavour of the moment!
"A woman named Charlene. She said-" I started but he cut me off instantly.
"I don't want to know what she said. Is that all?" He said angrily.
"That's all."
"Okay. Good night."
"Good-" beep
The line got disconnected before I could wish him a nice evening.
Wow. Talk about being snappy.

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.

"Just say the words and I would be millions of miles away from you by tomorrow," I said casually, clicking my nails on his desk.I jumped a little when he trapped me into the chair, my breath constricted in my throat when he smirked passionately at me."My sweet baby, if you're what you said, then we need to stop you from whoring around. I'll make sure I'm the only one getting inside that tight little p*ssy of yours and you'll make sure to spread your legs wide open for me." I wasn't breathing when he was explaining his twisted plan for me."You are a fool to think I would let you go. I'll use you until I'm bored with you and then I'll discard you out of my life." He finished eyeing my lips, I opened my mouth cautiously."And how do you think you'll stop me from running away from you.

(Y/N) has been on the move, running away from the mistakes that they have caused in their past. Eventually, they come across a Manner that seems abandoned. Overgrown plants, dusty windows, it would be a great place to hide out for a minute. Of course, not unless they earn their keep first. After the first day, they had found a porcelain doll sitting not too far away from where they slept, sitting on a meticulously designed chair, with a note in their lap.(Cover art is by Domomodraws on Tumblr.
