Carnal Boss

Chapter-4

Chapter-4-"An asshole?"

Lily James's POV

"Hi! This is Lily!" I speak into the phone I am holding, trying to hold my tears at bay.

"Hey Lily! It's been a while. A bunch of red roses again?" Jamie asks. Her voice is cheerful as usual. This should not affect me.

"You know it. I will send you the name and address along with the message." I tell her and hang up.

My heart hurts. I want to puke, but hold myself back.

It's been a month since I let my boss have his way with me. It's been a month since I have waited for him every day. It's been a month since he left for Paris and is not back yet.

The next morning I woke up completely spent and as expected he was not there. It was a one night thing, Lily! What were you thinking?! That he would ask you out on a date?! Stupid!

But like a fool I waited as I read the message he left on a little paper beside my bed before leaving.

I would have loved to wake up to your addicting scent, but I have to go. Wait for me, My Goddess.

-B

It read.

It's been a month since I have waited for him like a stupid fool that even though he's left for Pairs immediately, he will be back and call me. He even took my Blake with him. He came back last night and not alone. There is a woman hanging on his arm smiling. I want to throw my phone at the wall and crush it every time I look at it.

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid, Lily! Stupid heart!

I can't think of anything or anyone else this past month and he went a got himself a model like woman. I am plain stupid to even consider that he would date me. I believed everything that he said to me that night.

Maybe he calls her My Love too!

Maybe he tells her that she is important too!

It is coded 101 to get into a woman's pants. Right?! But the thing is he didn't get into my pants. He didn't fuck me. Maybe he was not attracted to me. The thought kills me.

My phone rings and I quickly pick it up.

"Good afternoon, Williamson Corp-" I am cut off before I can speak.

"Hey Lily! This is Maria! Come on up. Mr. Williamson wants to speak with you about the minutes of the meeting you submitted this morning." My mouth opens and closes like a fish.

What?!

Mr. Willaimson?! That bastard! He can read the minutes of the meeting and shove it up his ass! I am not going! I have been humiliated enough!

"What?" I ask dumbly. "No!" What the fuck is wrong with me?! Am I saying no to my boss?!

"Lily." Maria's voice is soft like she is sorry for me. Oh yeah! There's that! She saw me that day getting it on with our boss on the office couch and he left to Paris right next day! She never brought it up or made a deal about it. In fact she was her normal self. Mentoring me, giving me tasks. I would say she is more inclined is helping me become a better assistant. I am not even going to question why.

"I mean it's just minutes of the meeting. I don't think there will be anything to discuss." Where am I getting this confidence from?!

"You can avoid this forever, Lily." She is patient as she says that. She's right!

"I will be up in five minutes."

"Okay." She hangs up the call and I sigh.

I gather my things and my phone along with the print out of what is to be discussed. I pull out my phone and text Mike as I reach the elevator.
