Boudoir Secrets

Chapter 18

"Miss Tiel, could you please come into my office for a moment?"

Whilst Arianrhod enjoyed her rendezvous yesterday, she had no intention of ever repeating it again. Boundaries needed to be established. The assistant knocked tentatively on the door before letting herself in discreetly.

"Yes, Miss York?"

"Do you think you will remember James?"

"I have made his acquaintance on previous occasions, Miss York. I am able to recognise him, if that is what you are asking?"

"Good. Never let him in again."

Miss Tiel raised an eyebrow but refrained from questioning her boss.

"As you wish Miss York. Am I to direct any of his calls to you or should I simply request a message?"

Arianrhod chuckled. Miss Tiel disapproved of her love life but it was none of her business whom she fucked and whom she spoke to.

"I have no grudges with Mr Franklin. I simply do not want a repeat of yesterday's shenanigans."

Miss Tiel masked her face and nodded.

"Will that be all Miss York?"

Leaning back into her chair and stretching her legs beneath the table, Arianrhod yawned.

"A coffee please, to wake me up. When is my next appointment?"

Miss Tiel glanced at the notebook she held in her hand.

"Not for another two hours, Miss York. A gentleman from dispatch has also requested an audience with you. Should I book an appointment or advise him to email you his request?"

Arianrhod rolled her head in a circle and slowly raised her gaze, readjusting her sight. She could feel a headache coming on.

"Who is the next appointment? Ask the dispatch gentleman to email me his request and advise him I will organise an appointment based on that. Could you also find me my migraine pills? I feel one coming on."

Miss Tiel walked over to a shelf in the otherwise minimalistic room and produced a small medication bottle. Placing it on the desk infront of Arianrhod, she quietly withdrew from the room and reappeared moments later with a glass of cold water.

"Thank you."

"Pleasure Miss York. Your next appointment is with Mr Spencer. Would you like me to reschedule it?"

"No. I should be ok. If you could, pull out his files and bring them to me. Thank you."

"Yes, Miss York."

Arianrhod wished she could have the liberty to lay about on sun drenched grass all day but she couldn't afford to. Her work prevented her from any freedom. Including indulging James.

James.

How enamoured he was yesterday. That was the James she had fallen in love with. She had missed him greatly.

Her computer made a noise, indicating a new email had arrived.

     from:     James Franklin

     to:          Arianrhod York

     subject:  yesterday

Hi gorgeous,

Loved being with you yesterday. When can we do it again?

Hungrily yours,

James x

She smiled.

Let him wait for his reply, as she had waited for his affections.

Miss Tiel returned with a steaming cup of coffee and the folders she had requested.

Back to work!

Sigh.
