"Be real, because a mask only fools people on the outside. Pretending to be someone you're not takes a toll on the real you, and the real you is more important than anyone else"

Devin The smell of breakfast woke me up. It was smelling too good. I didn't feel Christian in the bed next to me, I wondered if he was downstairs. I put on an oversized shirt and slipped some panties on.
When I made it downstairs I seen a middle aged lady cooking.
I'm guessing this was his personal chef/maid.
She made bacon, eggs, toast, sausage and had small bowls of fruit.
Damn his lifestyle shocks me all the time.
"Why you looked so shocked? Sit and eat before it gets cold" the lady said.
"Good morning beautiful" I heard Christian say as he walked towards the table to sit down. He had on a button down shirt and grey suit pants.
He sat down across from me and started eating and I did too. I was fucking this food up it was so good.
"Relax greedy don't eat the plate too" Christian said with a small laugh.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Do you really have to go to work today?" I said as I walked over to where he was at and straddled him.
"Yes babe I really have to go to work. What kind of dumbass question is that?" He said and laughed.
"Don't you got to handle some things today too?" He asked me.
"Yeahhhhhhhhhh" I dragged it out because I wanted to be up under him longer, but I didn't come out here for nothing. Still had a job to tend to.
"I got to go babe" he said and tapped my thigh, signaling that he wanted me to get up.
"You can take one of my cars, DONT fuck my shit up" he said in a serious tone.
"oouuuu this should be fun" I said rubbing my hands together and he just looked at me with the same serious expression.
"Fuck my shit up and I'm going to fuck you up" he said through gritted teeth.
"Hmmm I like the sound of that" I said with a smirk.
"You something else" he said as he shook his head and gave me a kiss.
Once he left I offered to help his maid clean up the table and she told me no and said she was fine. I guess I got to get used to this maid thing.
I found some of Christian clothes and through some random shit on to go home. I just decided I was going to take a shower when I got back to my place.
When I went into his garage I scanned over the multiple cars deciding which one I wanted to drive and my eyes fell on his Benz. It looked so pretty and it was a nice cream interior. I got in that one and drove home.
I got in the shower and put on this black dress and some heels. I felt like it was calm for the first day walking into the office. I'm always wearing black. It goes with everything. I'm pretty sure I got like thirty different black dresses by now.

I looked in the mirror made sure I looked decent and left.
I arrived and went to my office. After I accepted this position Michael already gave me a file about who is in the office and we all had a meeting so we wouldn't be complete strangers working in a new place.
———-
"Ms. Carter you have the staff meeting in about fifteen minutes is there anything else besides the agenda you wanted me to prepare for the meeting or no?" My assistant Hilary said to me over the little intercom.
"No Ms.Taylor that would be all, thank you I appreciate you for asking" I said.
(In the meeting)
"Communication is really all I'm looking for in this environment. If we better communicate with each other we can better assess any problems that might arise. Running an actual office is all new to me, but I still am about my business. I want to make sure we are fulfilling these clients needs" I explained to the room filled with the staff that I would be supervising.
"Is there anything you need from me as your boss?" I asked.
"No I think you kind of covered everything" Druce said.
Everybody else nodded or shook their heads in agreement.
After the meeting I went straight to work.
Christian
I was looking over the edits Kacy made for the magazine and they were good. She had a good way of putting things together. I'm glad she knew what she was doing because I definitely did take a risk on her. I called her into my office.
A couple of minute later she was entering the room.
"You wanted to speak with me Mr.Brown?" She said as she stepped in the office.
"I would've never called you into my office if I didn't" I said as I looked at her.
"Oh yeah" she said as she sat down in front of the desk.
"I just wanted to tell you to keep up the good work, I didn't think you was going to be this good. I'm glad you didn't waste my time" I told her.
"You didn't think I was going to be that good because I worked at a diner?" She asked me.
"Absolutely. I'm not going to sugar coat anything. Me being who I am you know how many people come up to me telling me they think they one of the best writers or photographers or editors? I know good work when I see something and I tell them the same thing I tell you. Email me and I will see if you got what I'm looking for. Not all of them do or they just want to be here just to run they mouth and say they worked in my office. So I did take a risk on you, but I don't think it failed me yet" I told her.
"Well thank you for liking my work and I'm glad a good successful man like you took a chance on a girl like me" she said and got up to leave.
I looked at the time and noticed I had some time to spare and I FaceTimed Devin.
She answered and set up the camera so I can see her better.
"You look sexy filling out that paperwork" I said to her as I admired her through the phone.
"Thank you babe" she said and smiled.
"Who told you to wear that?" I said.
"Umm... me" she said with a stank face.
"Ima remember that"
"Babe I got to go, I got to finish this stuff at work" she said.
"Oh now you the one hanging up on me" I said shocked.
"Yup" she said and stuck her tongue out at me before she hung up on me.
I just smiled to myself and got back to work.
Wait till I see her later.
Kacy
I was just about to walk back into Mr.Brown office to try and spark a new conversation with him, but I heard him on the phone at the door. I couldn't really hear the woman's voice. I heard everything he was saying though. I heard him call her sexy and everything. Does he got a girlfriend? Who is she? Why don't he never talk about her? Is she just a hoe he fucking? Looking as good as him I wouldn't even be surprised that he had a couple of girls he be messing with.
Not my man being taken.
I got to find out who this is. He ain't gon want her after me though.
