fifty-one: on top

♫- Need to know by Doja Cat

꧁ Josephine's POV ꧂

I get to work followed by the twins that will give me a hand for like the next two days and then they will leave.

We all went to the airport to say a goodbye to Christian and Eleanor, wish them good luck after letting few years drop down.

We enter into the office and we find Selena that was allowed by Christian to move her things from the tenth floor to the eleventh taking one of the empty offices.
I get petrified when I get to walk around the office and actually get to know how big it is.
"Don't worry you will be so good and you have me, the twins and Douglas that will help you." Selena says kindly massaging my shoulders in a really supportive way.

I smile to her and I feel my lips shaking.
"I heard my name!" I hear his voice and then I turn.
Is Douglas dressed in a matching blue suit. He's also wearing a tie.
I'm also dressed up a little bit in a black dress.
I guess we both are feeling the weight of the publishing on our shoulders.

I m really keep wondering why he choose me over everybody. I don't know a shit about this, obviously I can learn but there are people that already know how to handle these things.... So, why don't choose them?

"Good morning." he says passing me a Starbucks paper cup.
"Good morning and thank you." I tell him looking at him and when he is about to pass the second cup to Selena he notices the twins.
"Oh shit. You two are the exact same. I guess you're the famous Dolan twins that Christian talks about." Douglas says siding his eyes and leaning his hand.
They introduce themselves.

Selena leaves and then Douglas and I get to sit next to each other in the same desk since it seems more a glass dining table than a desk.
We have almost three meters dividing us with the twins a are both are with at my left sitters in two comfortable chairs that they stole from other offices.

It's hard like I've imagined.
There are a lot of numbers but thank God Douglas handles them while I'm handling the many appointments, deals and emails.

I guess I'll have to find time for my book in the lunch breaks and at night at home.

My phone buzzes while everyone is out having lunch in the canteen.

Beauregard🏠🤍: hey, how
is going?

I smile pretty flattered by the thought that he is thinking about me.

It's pretty hard but I'm holding
it pretty well.

He's online so he replies quickly.

Beauregard🏠🤍: I knew it!
you have to stop underestimating yourself.

Yeah but this will be so hard
on me, at least the fist
couple of weeks.

Beauregard🏠🤍: Then we
will exchange each other
free massages 💆🏼‍♀️

Deal✅

Beauregard🏠🤍: alright then
see you tonight at home✨

See you at ✨home✨

I really like the word home.
It seems going back to our old life.

"Here is your lunch. I knew that you wouldn't go to the canteen." Douglas says entering to the office with that brown paper Bach that I know so well.
"You when out to buy me this?" I ask looking at him with my eyes wide open .
He sits parring his fingers through his hair and pulling them back.
"No they delivered it here." he says with a smile looking at me under his reading glasses.
"How much I own you?" I ask.
I see him getting some files in the archive and I see how dangerously tight his pants are.
I guess the ladies walking pass by him will be just grateful to look at that.
