Chereads / DO YOU LOVE ME, RAY? / Chapter 19 - Royally Fucked

Chapter 19 - Royally Fucked

************Annabeth**********

I guess it's safe to say my first day went well. Of course that's if you decide to leave out the part where I was greeted this morning by my freaking hot boss who left me all hot and bothered, or the awkward stares I was getting at the conference room.

Or the heart to heart I and Raymond had in the conference room after the meeting, or the part where I was trying to be fucking conscious of everything I was doing so that it wouldn't be seen through those fucking walls...yeah, it was completely perfect. Like every other normal first day.

Sheesh... I scolded Ray today. And he kinda scolded me back.

I have to admit he looked really good in that shirt. They way his pecs bulged from under them by looked like they were practically begging me to free them and lick them dry. I tried hard to take my eyes away from them.

When he started talking I had already melted and was just there waiting for whatever he had for me to be served. But there was this seriousness he emitted while he was talking about his life and why he does what he does. It was concerning. I saw sadness flash in his eyes, especially when he mentioned his Dad.

I wonder what their relationship is like. It's probably rough..most likely actually. I've heard a lot about rich fathers and son issues. Why do they never get along?. It's crazy because they are basically...partners.

I felt bad for judging him about the money part. I just....I couldn't help it okay?! He drives me fucking crazy.. Like who revovates the house of somebody he hit. Paige saw it as nothing. It's probably common here but it's in no way common for me.

Neither are his looks...

"I'm home!!". Paige said bursting through my room door jumping on my bed beside me.

For some reason, since I moved in she's been sleeping on my bed. Not that I mind, besides the bed is quite big but ... Nevermind. I love the warmth she offers.

"How's our latest employee doinggg?... How was your first day..I need deets. Wait let me get some wine " she said, grinning widely as she slipped out of the bed to get the wine.

"There isn't much to talk about, Paige!!" I screamed from my room walking out to sit at the Island. I'm hungry.

" And who says I care.. I want details.-" She took off her dress and sat down on her stool in only panties. She had a really good body. Porcelain skin, spotless, scarless. Probably soft.

"Eyes are up here, Miss Smith" I froze

I felt warmth flow through my body. They same way it happens when Raymond calls me that. For some reason I heard his voice in hers. It made me feel flushed.

"Are you okay, Annabeth? You are beet red. Is anything the matter? "

" No...nop. I'm good. Peachy." I said giving her a fake grin. I immediately got rid of it because of the look she gave me. Karen has warned me severally that my 'fake grin' is too fake, that it looks scary.

I just believed her.

Gawwddd.. I need to get this guy out of my system as soon as possible.

"Hmmm, is your boss that bad? You haven't said a word since.." there was concern in her voice. I didn't want that at all.

"No.. no Paige. He isn't bad. Just a little weird but not bad.." I looked up at her to see that she had gotten even more confused but tried to hide it by sipping her wine and looking elsewhere. I groaned.

Fuck it.

"Guess who my boss is" I said looking at her over my glass.

"Lolz Anna, why would you ask me that huh? It's not like your Raymond Brook's secretary or something, sheesh" she said scoffing at me and rolling her eyes. When I didn't look back at her and looked into my glass which had suddenly gotten interesting, she gasped.

"No fucking way!!! You are his Secretary ain't you?! What the fuck!!! How did that even happen? Without an interview?"

"Exactly what I asked him! But the put it off saying something in the lines of ' I have enough information about you to let you work for me' , and that was it. I was dismissed."

"Wow, now this sounds like some kind of drama, Anna. You have got to be shitting me."

" I'm not, Paige. I'm as confused as you are."

" Oh no, babe. You've got it wrong. I'm not confused. I'm excited for you and for me. It's a little creepy, I must admit... information on you?...naa definitely creepy. -"

"Exac-" I tried to speak

"- But.." she said raising her hand to shut me "its really dope, Anna. It's like some kind of thriller story you read on the internet. You know... Those ones where the boss has tons of information on the girl and stalks her and she ends up liking him-"

"You are really enjoying this, ain't you?" I asked seeing the way her eyes lit up in excitement.

"Hell yeah baby, I am. But come to think of it, this means that he already knew you were supposed to be his employee when you guys met at the hospital remember?" She said. Her eyes widening as if she was closer to finding her long lost cookie.

I let my mind go back to when we met at the hospital for the first time then it made sense..

"That would explain how he knew my name." I muttered.

"What did you say?" Paige asked.

"I said that would explain how he knew my name when we first met. We..um had an encounter..kind of before we met ... officially per say."

"Uh huh.. I see. " She said nodding her head. "And I believe you left it out of the part of the story you told me, didn't you?" She was giving me a knowing look that meant my head was on the chopping block if I didn't start talking. I nodded to confirm her suspicion.

" I didn't mean to. It was just...I don't know.. weird?. I embarrassed myself, Paige. I basically almost if not molested him. He was just lying there an-"

"Hold up!! Molested?! What the fuck, Anna? I need details, right now!" She said giving me a pointed look.

Yep, I'm royally fucked.
