Luckily for her, Chelsea was able to find a quick taxi and get home just in time just to change her clothes, hair and makeup, she would have to do it inside the car, but, she didn't count on the traffic being impossible, she was about ten minutes late to the main offices of Bullock & Company. But, once again, luck was on his side and the CEO hadn't made it to the facility. Just as he was talking to a girl from human resources, none other than Hugh Bullock himself arrived.
"Mr. Bullock, this girl has come to interview for the vacant position of administrative assistant, but your son hasn't arrived yet.
"What do you mean my son hasn't arrived?" It's inconceivable that at thirty he still wants to make a living like a crazy rich kid, he has to grow up once and for all," the HR girl clears her throat to get Mr. Bullock's attention, "excuse me, miss, I'm not up for my son's headaches at this age, sometimes I forget that I shouldn't grumble in front of people, Old men's stuff, come on, come with me, I'll do the interview myself.
Hugh Bullock was a man of fifty-seven already, even though he inherited his father's businesses, he always remained humble and money never denied him the vision of kindness; It was always a representative trait of his, unlike his arrogant son. As soon as she heard his words, Chelsea became nervous, it was one thing to be interviewed but, quite another was for the owner of the company to be the interviewer; Likewise, she was a very skilled and incredibly gifted girl, she had been the top of her class and graduated with honors, with her resume it was practically impossible to be denied the position
She had been working since graduating in a small business for two years, it was time to expand and no place was better to do it than at Bullock & Company, so she was there. Not fifteen minutes had passed, and Mr. Bullock had made up his mind that she would fill the vacant place. If she could, Chelsea would have left her office bouncing and screaming at the same time, but she had to behave.
"Welcome to our company, Miss Smith, it will be a pleasure for us to have you here.
"The pleasure is mine Mr. Bullock, thank you very much for your attention, just one more thing, when would you start working?"
"Well, if you've come prepared, this is your office right now," he said, stopping in front of a large room with incredible lighting, "so you can get organized, review the files that are pending, the contracts, it's a very large company and, therefore, you'll have a lot to do, but take it easy until you get going."
Chelsea was sleepy dead and not to mention the body tiredness she had due to the night that had passed, but she was not going to let this opportunity pass her by for nothing. She felt that this was her lucky day, even though she had arrived late, no one noticed, the interview couldn't have gone better and she already had her job secured, the job of her dreams “What could go wrong?”, she thought.
"For me, perfect, I'm always prepared.
"Well, in good time, I must now retire, with your permission," Bullock said before go out, leaving Chelsea in the quiet of her office.
A couple of hours passed in which she had enough time to organize the place a bit, then she would have to bring some of her things to give it a personal touch. She sat in her seat behind her bureau and allowed herself a few minutes to feel important and proud of herself, what she had just accomplished had a lot of merit. Just as he was thinking of reviewing the pending contracts, there was a knock on his door.
"Go ahead," he announced, to admit a boy in a delivery man's uniform carrying a huge bouquet of flowers. “Oh, no! You must be wrong, I've just started here”.
"Are you Chelsea Smith?" He asked, looking at the data he had written down on his mobile phone.
"Yes, it's me," she replied, completely confused.
"Then I'm not wrong, these are for you," he said, as he walked over and put them on her desk and then left.
She took the huge bouquet in her hands, it was so big that it weighed. It wasn't a conventional bouquet of roses, it was full of lilacs, lilies, gladiolus, it was beautiful indeed and had an incredible smell but, she had no idea who could have sent them to her, no one knew that she would be there, she didn't even know it, it was all unexpected. Without further ado, she took the card and opened it, she needed to get rid of the doubt, her surprise was huge when she read it:
"Dear Chelsea,
I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to our appointment yesterday, I don't want you to think it was my choice not to show up, I had a medical emergency, I fell down the stairs and sprained my ankle, I was so eager to meet you that I couldn't even see where I stepped. I remembered that today was a great day for you and I sent these, if all went well, you will have received the flowers and my apologies. Love,
Fred."
Chelsea's heart began to beat very quickly, under other circumstances she would have been overflowing with happiness upon reading this note, but, now she was panicking. If Fred hadn't been able to make it the night before to his appointment, who the fuck took his place? Who had she slept with? She spent the whole night with a complete stranger, someone she didn't know at all, she had sex with him, repeatedly without knowing who he was.
"Oh my God! What did I do last night? What mess have I gotten myself into?" those words are all she can think of, she repeats them over and over to herself as if it will give her the answer she is looking for. That couldn't be happening to her, not to her, she has always been very careful in her decisions, she is the typical girl who thinks twice before doing it to avoid mistakes, but of course, the fever between her legs should have clouded her judgment. If she had paid more attention to the small details that wouldn't have happened to her, the more she starts to think about it in his head, the more she realizes it.
When that boy went to ask her for a drink he hesitated before saying his name, he didn't know and she gave it to him too quickly; then, he didn't seem to remember what he had studied when over the chat he had talked thousands of times about that topic with the real Fred and, last but not least, he suggested that they not talk about the same topics in the chat anymore, it was the smartest way to prevent him from finding out.
That guy had been a scoundrel! It had taken away her right to decide who to sleep with, who to go to bed with, her right over herself, and now she was feeling dirty. She needed to find him, she needed to know who this imposter was and accuse him, put an end to him.
Just as if the universe had been listening to his thoughts, something happened that caught his attention.
"Mr. Bullock, we already have our new worker, your father just hired her," she began to listen to the conversation and wiped away the tears of rage that ran down her cheeks, no matter what had happened, she was in the company and had to behave like a professional.
"My father?" He asked, a little surprised, "I was supposed to choose the candidate for the position of assistant in executive administration.
"Well, yes, but your father didn't like that you weren't here, so he did it himself.
"As usual," he muttered, then snorted in protest, "well, introduce me to her. Chelsea heard the footsteps get closer until they arrived, while she pretended to be very engrossed in her contracts.
"Mr. Bullock, this is Chelsea Smith”.
That was his entrance, so she looked up to find in front of his eyes none other than the impostors he had been cursing so much just a few seconds ago. The game had just begun...
Chelsea wasn't the only one surprised in that office, Steven's eyes widened when he realized who she was. For a few seconds, the two were completely silent, the only difference was that she was eager to tell him thousands of expletives, she didn't care that he was her boss, nor that she had just started working there; Whereas, he didn't know how to act, he obviously didn't plan on meeting that girl again, it had simply been his perfect excuse not to waste the night at that restaurant.What was the probability of running into her again in that big city? New York was crazy and people were walking in a hurry through its streets, it was almost impossible, but it had happened. After a few seconds, Steve finally managed to articulate the words."Stephanie, leave us alone, I need to talk to Miss Smith," the girl looked at him strangely, but obeyed his order without problems, when they were finally alone, he moved a little closer to the desk."Don't you dare! She said in a low voice, but with
The more she learned about this arrogant man, the harder Chelsea found it hard to believe it was all real. It was impossible for her that anyone could be so arrogant and so stupid, she had just told him that it would make his life unbearable, she threatened to sue him legally and it seems that none of that seemed to bother him.In the end, Steve had ended up threatening her with his job, implying that if she dared to say anything, her job would be in jeopardy, not to mention that he made it clear that he was the boss and she was the assistant. What crazy world was she living in?As much hate as she was feeling, after thinking about it a little more with a cool head, she decided to focus on what she did best, work. Chelsea had decided that she wasn't going to give him the pleasure of getting her attention or expelling her, if she did everything flawlessly, Steve would have no choice but to see her every day, if she had to put up with him, then he would have to put up with her too.Some
After almost four weeks, Chelsea had already caught up with all the paperwork, she had completely organized her entire office, she had saved in alphabetical order every folder of accounts, every contract, she was a geek of the organization and she had left it reflected in her space. Chelsea had not only organized, she had also worked hard to be the best assistant there could be, the girl had determined very firmly that she would not give any excuse to the scoundrel Steve to call her out, point at her negatively or threaten to expel her from the company, she was forced to resort to all the existing relaxation techniques to control her anger and not give her a bad answer, But he had done it.I already knew that Steve arrived on normal days around thirty minutes late and, on nights when he went partying, he would make his appearance around noon, so, when the CEO arrived, she already had his cup of coffee prepared and hot on her desk along with the time of day where each of his meetings a
Chelsea undresses, lies down, and within seconds the image of Steve bursts into her head. He is such a handsome, tall, stocky man, his dark hair matches perfectly with his white skin and those honeyed eyes that sweeten anyone's soul. She mentally reviews his body, his pectorals lightly adorned with fine hairs that seem neatly combed and cut, resembling strokes of fine lines. His thick thighs, long legs, and perfectly chiseled abdomen resemble Michelangelo's great sculptural work. The pelvis that matches perfectly with her chest, semi-populated and that huge and prominent member that can't stop shaking her just remembering that night of inconceivable and indescribable pleasure in her arms.The woman sighs and tries to read a little of the agenda proposed for the next morning. Breakfast with the businessmen, a walk through the Parc des Rapides and finally a tour of the Museum of Fine Arts. The day was going to be quite busy so it was best to rest. She put on her headphones to listen to
Finally, in a last-ditch effort, Steve looked at the red flash of Chelsea's life preserver, pulled her hair, and with his other hand held tightly to a rock jutting out of the strong current. He pulled her toward him, tucked his arm in, and deftly managed to grab her waist. She was coughing heavily, had swallowed a lot of water and couldn’t breathe."Hold on, my love," he said, and she fainted on his shoulder, as he shouted, "I've got her!" Help me, I've got it.André and Chris paddled together, walking up to them, André offered his arms and between him and Steve they managed to get her into the boat. Then he stretched out his arm to help Steve. While inside the boat, Steve began to give Chelsea mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Arriving at the shore, the paramedics met them, took her to the small tent that served as a kind of doctor's office for emergencies like this. The doctor attended to the girl, who slowly began to react. Steve had a few scrapes from the huge rocks and branches in
The weekend went by quickly, maybe more than Chelsea would have liked, she couldn't wait until it was Monday to see him again although there were several questions in her head to answer, she had no idea what Steve's reaction would be when he saw her, if what happened in Montreal would stay there, much to her chagrin, back in New York they both had lives made, she was getting to know Fred and Steve was in a relationship with Larissa. She knew very well what her feelings were for him, but was he thinking of her in the same way? Would he be willing to end his relationship with Larissa, to leave her for her? It seemed to him practically a fallacy in all its rule, she was nothing exceptional, did not believe that she was one of those girls who stands out wherever she goes, nor one of those who attracts all eyes, she considered herself simple, the antonym of someone like Larissa, that girl was the opposite from her personality to the way she dressed and walked, who in their right mind wo
From her office, Chelsea could hear the shouts of the president of the company, so she busied herself with reviewing some pending issues from the meeting they would have. She heard Steve's footsteps and her heart pounded. She stood up to wait for him, greeted him with the broadest smile."Good morning, Mr. Bullock," he barely turned to look at her and give her instructions."The board is suspended.” He replied tersely."Did something happen?" She asked in astonishment. But Steve didn't answer, she looked at Larissa from behind him. That was enough for her to interpret Steve's cavalier attitude to understand what the dynamics of their relationship were "You're a fool, Chelsea," she reproaches herself; The meaning of all this is very simple, she is only important to him when his fiancée is not around. Beyond what happened in Montreal, the kisses, the desire for passion, she couldn't turn a blind eye to Steve's relationship with Larissa.Doubts begin to do their good work, Che
Chelsea was thoughtful, only imagining the awkward afternoon she would have to spend at the company; As Fred was saying goodbye to her in the car, his mind was wandering about Steve's behavior at that lunch. Why did he agree to eat with her and Fred? Didn't what they'd experienced in Montreal mean anything to him? She was downcast, hadn't realized that she had set her expectations too high: "What did you expect Chelsea, that he would welcome you with open arms and turn around with you in his arms like in the movies? What an idiot you were! Of course that wasn't going to happen, he has a girlfriend and he's the head of the company and you're just his assistant," she lashed out at herself.Chelsea already knew that meeting Steve that day would be difficult, but she never expected him to ignore her the way he did as soon as Larissa showed up there. She had discovered feelings on that trip that she had never had with anyone else, she was exploring a wilder side of herself that she didn
