For all the wrong reasons

Chapter Three: Daniel

DANIELS PERSPECTIVE
—————————

I was in the bathroom when jasper left. I'm glad, I hate seeing her leave. I don't understand why I feel this way about someone I just met. I don't even understand how I feel in general.

She left the files in my desk... she does a good job at this sort of thing. I look through all the files and it's obvious she knows what she's doing. I wonder if she was a secretary in a past job.. it said she had no previous job experience on her resume though..

I shrug the thought off and go back to work on some reports for the board of directors. They seemed apprehensive with jasper earlier today.. I wonder if it's because she's new, or because of her appearance. I'm sure they aren't that small minded, it's probably because she's new.

Her appearance does intrigue me though, I've never been so into someone's style before. She knows how to style herself and still look comfortable at the same time. And her piercings and tattoos make her look ten times better. Plus I love her hair, it's always so fluffy looking and I love the dyed tips.

Not that I'm attracted to her or anything!

At this point I'm too distracted to focus on my work so I decide to go home for the day. I get in my car and hook my phone up to the aux. usually I just let whatever is on the radio play but I wanted to listen to a specific song today. Gossip by måneskin. It's jaspers favorite song, I saw that on her TikTok.

It's certainly a different song, but I happen to like it. I wonder why she likes it so much.. after that song I remembered she posted a TikTok where she put a link to her Spotify playlist. I hurriedly pulled over to the side and grabbed my phone, searching for this video. Once I find it, I copy it and open it in safari. It brings me to the Spotify playlist and it like it. After that I close the tab and go back to the app. I scroll through the playlist a bit, the songs are wildly different but if she likes them then I want to.

Thats weird..

it's just because she's my secretary, nothing more.

I hit shuffle and set my phone down on the dash. I begin driving again, there's so much traffic this time of night. The song before he cheats by Carrie underwood comes on. It makes me think about jasper for some reason. She has a slight southern accent when she's annoyed. It's adorable. I wonder if she is from the south, or if she lived there before she moved here to LA.

There's a company down south that has it out for me, and I have it out for them. We are constantly fighting for top company in the US. Now that I think about it, she kinda looks similar to the CEO of that company. It's probably just my imagination though, she couldn't be related to that dick bag Conner Powell. I mean, her last name is Wright, obviously she's not related to him.

Obviously

I don't think I've ever hated driving more. There's so much traffic. Always is, it's LA after all. This sucks. It takes longer than usual to get home and my house is already an hour away. I've been thinking selling that mansion and moving into a penthouse closer to the office. I'll have jasper pull penthouses in the area for me to look at tomorrow. Maybe I'll even have her go to check them out with me.

That'll be fun

I finally get to my house and pull into the garage. I have too many cars. I need to sell some of them, I don't need 3 garages full of cars if I only use one.

Yeah, I have three garages full of cars. And a fourth one connected to the house that I only put my rolls Royce. It's the only car I ever really use. The other three garages are higher up the hill. I own the entire hill. Probably a few hundred million worth of land.
