Telling Karen and Jason about my rendezvous with Raymond was one of the most challenging and awkward moments of my life.
I tried really..really hard to keep it normal and less weird but they wouldn't let me!!.. it drove me crazy..
They kept asking for more and more details...'how many times did you guys go? Did you match his energy? How deep did he pound..and so many more disgusting ones I've chosen to not recall.
I knew Karen and Jason were going to want to get involved but I didn't think it would be this deep and hard...oh no, that came out wrong didnt it?
I'm fucked up, I know.
We spoke for a really long time yesterday making me loose track of time so I left the office really late..like few minutes to 11pm late. Paige was soo maddd. Her pasta got cold and she had to stay awake waiting for me because I left my key behind..with Ray.
But despite how mad she was, she slept beside me, on my bed, saying something about how lucky I was.
I didn't ask her to explain, I just let her sleep, whereas I stayed awake for two more hours explaining and receiving all manner of cringy and embarrassing advices under the sun from my friends.
Which is why I'm currently forcing my foot into one of Paige's heels at 8:35am, exhausted and sleepy. We have a very important meeting this morning at 9am and I'm meant to be there already and the conference table hasn't been set. I'm so dead.
Ray has called twice already but I didn't pick. What would I say?!! We would talk after the meeting. He's probably calling to know how the meeting is going.
This meeting was the only one I couldn't move to next week, luckily it doesn't really need his presence so his deputy would officiate. But either way, I'm supposed to be there.
I finished my struggle in no time, gave myself a once over in the mirror, hardly even registering what I look like. I pecked Paige goodbye and bolted out of the apartment. Luckily my ride is here already so hopefully I wouldn't be anymore late.
*************
Or maybe not. Urgghhh
Can someone tell me why today of all days there has to be traffic?! The office is a ten minutes walk from here and I've considered walking for like 5 times since sitting here, but I don't want go into the meeting all sweaty and bothered.
I looked across the street for a store that could probably have shoes for sale and luckily I found one. I paid the taxi man and headed to the store with my heels in my hand. I knew it was weird but I can't walk quickly in them.
I quickly bought a sandal....it was the cheapest I could find but very pricey.. I put it on, paid and bolted out of the shop, beginning my journey to the office. Karen would kill me if she sees me with these sandals. They look awful and I can't very wear them again if I want to keep my head.
Finally..
I was two blocks away from the office and it was time to change to the heels. I stopped in a corner and put on the death traps in a hurry, balancing myself in them.
When I was done, I took a deep breath then began approaching the building with small steps.. In little time I finally got to my floor. As soon as I dropped my things in my office I picked my pad and pen and headed to the conference room. I can do this.
I opened the door expecting eyes on me but got none.. infact the room was empty..
What's wrong? Did they finish already?? Oh my God! What have I done?
I felt tears cloud my sight as I sat down in one of the seats, placing my head on my hand on the table. I fucked up. What would I tell Ray now? And I'm the only assistant he's got.
I left the room dejectedly and went back to my office. There's nothing I can do. I'd just have to ask the deputy's assistant for the details.
I really hope Ray can forgive me.
My screen lit up beside me and I looked to see that Ray was calling again.
Shit, that's probably why he called. To ask why I wasn't at the meeting yet.. Oh my God.
I looked at the phone again.
Ignoring the call would be a really foolish thing to do.
So I picked up with my heart in my hands.
"Ann-"
"I'm really sorry, Sir.-" I blurted already shaking in fear of what he would say. "-I didn't mean to miss the meeting, I just..I woke up really late and I couldn't meet up. I'm really sorry, please"
"Uhhh okay?? But I thought we are past the boss and employee stage, after you know... yesterday and the other days" he said in a semi questioning tone, muttering the last part
I was dumbfounded.Yeah we did...things.. but It surely doesn't mean we should or I should take him lightly or something, right? I mean, he pays me.
"I uhh.." I sighed, giving up. "I really don't know, how are my supposed to address you then? Ray? At work? Hehe, I haven't even stayed for a month"
"It doesn't matter, Anna. My last real assistant was as good as a best friend to me. She called me 'Shrimp' and I called her 'Oyster'. That's why it's called relationship, Anna. No other persons opinion matters."
Shrimp and Oyster?! Nop..not weird. At all
Hold up!! Did he just say relationship?!!
" Hold on a sec. Did you just say 'relationship'? I do not remember agreeing to any."
And there went my good girl act. I wanted to ignore the statement but I honestly couldn't. Sometimes I wonder why I act good when I obviously can't keep up with it.
He laughed at my reply, releasing a few snorts. So cute..
"Anna, what I meant was general relations, it doesn't matter the name you call each other. It just shows that you guys are close and that their opinions do not matter. Okay?"
"Oh, okay. That makes sense." I looked down at my feet in embarrassment. I really should learn to control my tongue.
"Yeah, so about the meeting. It couldn't hold anymore. One of the reasons I called you. And Secondly, we have to be at Dubai next week for a conference. So we would be traveling by Saturday." His voice sounded lighter and had a little bit of a bouncy tone to it.
"It's a themed conference, black and gold or black and silver. We are exclusive guests so we'd be on red." He stopped talking and the line went silent..
"I'd send you a red dress later." He said in a lower voice, sending hot and mind wrecking waves down my spine.
Is it just me or did my panties just get wet?!!
Betraying bitch!!!
