Chereads / My Insufferable Boss / Chapter 20 - 19

Chapter 20 - 19

"You look great Maria, it's the perfect combination of elegant and hot!" Willow tries to cheer me up as she was looking me up and down in the mirror standing behind me.

"Willow hot is not really the look I go for when I'm dressing up for work" I whine looking at myself.

"It's nothing too scandalous, I promise you. It's just slightly out of Maria's comfort zone but you still look professional" Willow smiles at me squeezing my arm, "I can already picture your boss dropping his jaw when he sees you in this" Willow smirks.

I shake my head, my cheeks heating up, "Stop it" I mumble trying to hide my smile.

Today is the first day back to work after the holidays and last night was Willow's birthday so I spent the night at her place. Now the problem being, we woke up late and I need to leave for work in less than 10 minutes so I had to borrow something of Willow's to wear. However, she is like 5'0 so most of her clothes do not fit me. There was this one dress in the back of her closet that miraculously fit me but I don't know if I can wear this.

I look at myself in the mirror wearing this short sleeves, square neck, bodycon black velvet dress that reached a couple of inches up my knees, it just fell below my ass. Obviously, I wore stockings underneath as it is still winter but still the dress felt too short. Even the square neck was slightly low cut showing off some cleavage no matter how up I pull it and cleavage is a major no-no for me especially at work. My boobs might be my favorite part of my body but I do not like showing them off and getting unnecessary attention.

"Stop worrying, you look amazing!" Willow smiles at me. I have no option, do I?

....

I tug onto my long black coat as I step into the building, making small talk with my fellow colleagues about the holidays.

Nayel was still not here so I leave his coffee on his desk and head out of his office. I was about to take off my coat when he walked in through the elevator. Our eyes meet and he grins at me. I haven't seen him since Friday, the almost kiss we had.

"Good morning Mr. Nayel" I smile at him politely.

"Morning Maria," He says in a chirpy sing-song tone

"How were your holidays?" Nayel asks shrugging off his coat.

"Pretty good" I nod, "Yours?"

"Splendid" Nayel grins and walks into his office.

....

It was around 10:15 when the phone on my desk rang, "Jefferson Legal, how can I help you?"

"Maria could you please bring the contracts with the Biden Associates and the paperwork to me please?" Nayel asks in a polite tone, I still can't get used to his niceness.

"Yes sir". I say simply.

I grab the documents and pull my dress, trying to stretch it as low as I can which was useless. If I pull it down it exposes more cleavage, if I pull it up it exposes more legs and ass so at this point I am screwed. I knock on his door and walk inside his office without waiting for an answer.

Nayel looks up from his computer to see me and his eyes almost pop out of his sockets. His eyes run up and down my body making me self-conscious as I walk towards him and hand him the documents. Nayel bites his lower lip, "Don't you look nice today Ria" Nayel grins, his eyes fixate on my cleavage for a second before moving to my face, "Never seen you this dolled up for work" His grin growing bigger.

"Well New Year, new me" I joke crossing my ankles.

"Do you have a hot date after work or what?" Nayel smirks at me.

"Why do you want to know if I have a date so badly?" I tilt my head biting my lower lip. I don't know what came over me.

Nayel chuckles, his head falling back for a second, "I just want to know who's the lucky guy you're wearing that dress for and if there's no guy what does one gotta do to apply for that position?" Nayel licks his lips.

I blush, "I stayed the night at a friend's and she's smaller than me, this was the only thing that fit" I shrug.

"You look great though" I see Nayel's eyes turn slightly dark, almost as dark as when I was pushed up against one of these walls with him hungrily making out with me. Nayel kept moving around in his seat. Why was he doing that? Then a thought popped into my mind, what if.......he got a boner. I blush, why am I thinking about this? He's not into me, why would he get one. I need to keep my mind out of the gutter. Not everything is sexual Maria.

"Thanks" I mumble shyly, "Anything else I could do for you?"

"Well in that dress a lot of things come to mind" Nayel tilts his head to the side and I felt my cheeks explode from the heat.

I gasp and Nayel chuckles, "I'm kidding, I might do anything you ask me to do in that dress though." his eyes roam up and down my body yet again, "Do you want a raise? Do you want a paid month off? Do you want to leave early? Seriously, you could probably ask for anything and I would happily comply" Nayel smirks mischievously. Now this was definitely an off-the-record type of conversation, he's hitting on me, isn't he?

"So what is this now the Barter system? I wear a tight dress and then I get anything I ask for?" I rest my hand on my hip, flirting back. Two can play this game.

Nayel nods, "Make it a couple of inches shorter and you can sit on this seat and be my boss" Nayel smirks.

"Let me run it by Holly and then I'll let you know" I grin.

"I will be waiting" Nayel smirks and I roll my eyes walking away from him. I wonder if he looked at my ass as I was walking away, the thought alone sent shivers to my spine.

....

I was packing my stuff, it was almost 5 so I was going to leave. Nayel walked out of his office, his coat, and briefcase in his hand.

"It's hailing pretty heavily outside, I know you walk here, let me give you a ride home" Nayel offers.

"No, you don't have to do that" I shake my head.

"Come on, let me drop you" He smiles and I nod giving in. I've noticed I absolutely melt under his smile, like a school girl who got a compliment from her crush. I wonder if he knows he has that affect on me.

I quickly slip on my coat and I see Nayel's eyes fixed on my legs from the corner of my eye but I choose not to say anything.

We head down to the parking lot and I see Nayel's white Benz. I suddenly remember sitting in this car when we went to Long Island and making a joke to myself, I chuckle softly.

"What?" Nayel looks over at me.

"Nothing, I just remembered a joke I made when we went to Long Island" I shrug.

Nayel stares at me in amusement, "What was the joke?" He asks.

"I saw your Bentz and was like douchebag car for the biggest douchebag I know" It's not even funny saying it out loud. Why am I such a loser? Maria, you need to shut the fuck up sometimes Jesus.

Nayel chuckles, "well offense taken"

I shrug, "Sorry" I say smiling at him.
