The Billionaire Ever After

Chapter 31 - Allison

I check my email from my office table. Done, done and done. Perfect! My schedule for today is to go to a furniture store to finally see the result of the custom couch and lamp that I commissioned to make for Zac's office. Zac asked me to re-decorate his office. But he never really looked at the design. All we did whenever I went to his office was making a mess on his desk. Jeez... I'm so not professional. But it's hard to resist Zac. He is so handsome, so sweet yet so cool, the way he commanded me to bend on his office is just... Gosh I feel I'm getting wet down there.

Hello Allison Wheeler, yes yes, this is me, your conscious and professionalism brain. You are in the office for God's sake. Why you keep thinking about your erotic rendervouz with Zac? Can we do that later at night? When you don't have any work to do?

I clear my throat and slap my face mentally. Work Allison! Work!

"Hey Alli"

I look up. It's Scott. I smile "Hey Scott, anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, I just got an email from Roderick New York. They want us to do the presentation"

"Oh we qualified the first round?" I grin.

He grins back "damn right! They scheduled us for tomorrow. So clear you day"

"Me? I thought the one who will go is you and Madison?"

"They give 3 person space. So, why not you? You made the lobby"

"Um.. okay. Thanks Scott" I say and he nods, leaving my station. I bite my lower lip. I feel bad for Lola.. We did that together and she works longer in Decateau than me...

"Hey Al, want to have lunch together! There is a new sushi station not too far from here and they still have the grand opening discount" Jackson says.

"Um.. Jackson, can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot!" he says, putting his hip on my desk.

"Um.. we qualified the first round for Roderick New York"

"Wow cool! Good luck!" he says.

"thank you, but that's not the point.. um.. Scott just told me that we will do our presentation at Roderick tomorrow. And.. he asked me to go" I bite my lower lip.

"Okay, and then?"

"Um...Lola and I did the job together. We are a team.." I leave the rest for Jackson to fill.

"You feel bad?"

I nod.

"Um.. I think it's okay, Al.. It's work. I mean of course Lola wants to have the chance, but in the end it's our boss decision who came with him to do the presentation"

"I know.. but still.."

"Just treat her to lunch, Lola is a nice woman, I think she'll be fine" he smiles.

I smile back "thank Jackson"

"You're most welcome. As long as you can share with me the chocolate from your super rich and generous boyfriend" he winks and goes back to his station. I laugh. Zac often sent a bouquet of chocolate to me, and I shared it with everyone.

Lola smiles, even though the smile doesn't touch her eyes "that's okay Al... I'm fine"

"I'm so sorry.. I mean.. I wish both of us could come to Roderick New York"

"I know. That's fine. Just kick at the presentation okay. So we will go to the final round" she smiles.

"I will" I smile in relief.
