Salvatore's Secrets

Chapter 2

"Alright girls are you ready for this?" Today is a big day for the business. A new line of lingerie is coming out today; which means a day full of modelling for me and the others. Which is always an eventful day at the least.

The girls are getting ready whilst I'm telling the photographer exactly how I want the website pictures to look, as well as to confirm the payment, all that business stuff.

As I go into get the dressing rooms, Ivy walks out. She looks stunning. The perfectly crafted bralette shows her figure off perfectly. I note to myself that I should get her to model for me more often. "You look perfect, I'm so glad I called you to be apart of modelling this line." She seems happy to be here from the beaming look on her face.

Ivy thanks me and walks over to the photographer, checking in with her whilst doing so. Everything is ready and set up, so all that's left to do is take the photos.

Woman by Doja Cat begins to play as we all walk over to the set and begin modelling, having fun and laughing whilst we do. It only takes an hour and a half, which is surprisingly quick compared to some of the other shoots that we've done recently.

Everyone heads to the dressing rooms and I shout behind everyone "You all did so good today, after I'm ready I'll go get us all some Starbucks as a treat" they all shout a thanks after in excited tones.

I begin to get dressed into my clothes, a black checkered suit and black lace top. Checking myself out in the mirror as I do, admiring my latest work.

This line should sell amazingly, we've already had lots of positive feedback from the teasers we've posted over social media. Over the last two years sales have really improved and I'm really proud of how far my business has come.

I walk into the elevator from my office, only to see my marketing manager, Danny. He's a sweet guy at times but he really just makes me want to jump out the my window. He tries a little too hard to get mine and some of the sorbets attention in the office.

"I saw you modelling earlier, just wanted to say you looked great. I would totally buy it!" He says whilst adjusting his suit jacket a little bit.

I give him a look with a smile that said 'and who would you buy it for' I'm pretty sure he notices though as some sweat gathers across his forehead and he begins to scratch behind his neck.

"I wouldn't buy it for myself, maybe my mom or something" Wow he manages to make things really awkward sometimes. I laugh a little and shake my head hoping this elevator can move a bit quicker.

"Well it was a team effort, and i'm sure your mom would enjoy one of these, I can't wait to see how you market it" My eyes drift over to the number, 5 more floors to go before i can forget this interaction ever happened.

He just nods, probably sensing my discomfort in our situation. One time he walked in on me getting dressed into one of the lingerie pieces, he ended up standing there for a couple minutes until I noticed I was there. He didn't even apologies or make it seem like an incident. But he's good at what he does so until I find someone better he has to stay.

The elevator finally reaches the ground floor and it's doors open. Letting me finally escape. He waves at me as he walks out and I just smile at him, already beginning to forget that whole thing.

I get into my car and drive to Starbucks, deciding to go through the drive through as it would be easier to get all 7 drinks into my car.

I rattle off all of the orders and adding an Oreo cheesecake cupcake to enjoy whilst I send off emails. Looks like i'm going to be at the office until late tonight to try and get some things done.

All of the drinks (and my cupcake) get into my car and I begin to drive back to the office. Texting my assistant to come out and help carry some of the drinks in when I get there so I don't look like a complete idiot trying to juggle 7 drinks in my hands.

Don't text and drive kids. Or do, I don't really care either way.

I manage to make it back in one piece, when I see two men in suits getting out of a car. My assistant comes and opens my door, taking both of the drinks holders. She walks back inside as I grab my bag with my cupcake in.

As I walk up to the doors, a guy catches my eye. He looks... bossy. I begin to walk a bit slower to fingier out where he's going, until his eyes catch mine.

They're so captivating, enticing even. I break eye contact as i look at the other men at his side, two look like bodyguards however the other one looks like a kid at a candy store. Like he wants to run into the building to look inside it, his face lit up.

I notice that the other guy is still staring at me, but this time not looking at my face. They must be the new owners of the offices next door. I'd wondered for months who had bought that building.

I finally make it through my front door when I have to stop for a moment and catch my breath, he was so handsome. But I'll probably forget about him in the next day or so.

I get my drink off my assistant and decide to take the steps up to my office. All 17 floors, I think I'm going crazy but at least it's good cardio.

I finally make it to my floor, I really should go to the gym more though. That was a bit too much work and I don't think I'll ever be doing that again.

I walk into my office and put down my cupcake as I go to take a seat in my chair. It's a swirly chair. So I can spin in it. Fun.

But that's when he catches my eye again. The boards have been taken down and it just so happens that the view from my office goes directly into what looks to be his. That's just my fucking luck.
