The Assistant's Dilemma

Ch.10

"I don't like that one either"

He sighs heavily and throws the dress down on the couch. "Courtney you're making this very difficult!"

"Well I'm not wearing something I don't like"

"These are all nice" I look at the pile of dresses he has showed me. "I've showed you at least 15 dresses and you dislike all of them?"

I nod "unbelievable" he says as he sits down "what about the ones I had you try on?"

"I do not like them either" I answer

"You could have at least showed me them on you , a second opinion could have helped"

"You just wanted to see me in tight dresses"

I see a smile creep up on his face but he quickly wipes it away with his hand. "No I just wanted to see if that was your style and help out"

"How About you go wait in the car and I'll pick a dress out , that I actually like"

"Can I trust you?"

"I'm the one wearing the fucking dress!"

"Lower your tone" he points at me "fine I'll be in the car , dont take forever" I watch him walk out the store and stand up. We been here for like a hour looking at stuff and he's been showing me dresses and I just really don't like any of the ones he showed me.

Me picking out my own dress will be a lot faster and easier. He doesn't want me looking unprofessional and wants me to make a good impression. However I know how to dress to impress when I need to.

I just don't like to. I dress for me but I could easily make heads turn with an outfit. He just gotta let me do my own thing and pick out my own dress and accessories with it.

About 20 minutes later I get back to the car. I get in and he looks at me "let me see the dress"

"Nope" I shake my head

"What do you mean nope?"

"You'll have to wait until next Sunday"

"Courtney let me see the dress"

"I said no" I put my bag down "it's really nice though" I smile "oh and here's your card back"

I hand him his debit card and he puts it in his wallet "how much you spend?"

"I just used my card"

"Why the fuck would you do that?"

"I have money Giovanni" I say

"That's not the point , I gave you my card for a reason Courtney"

"It's fine , I'm an adult"

"I literally- you know what whatever but if I give you my card again use it"

We get back to the building. "I'll go up and get your stuff you stay here"

(Giovanni)
I make my way into my building as Kim greets me. I give her quick smile before getting up to my floor. I ain't got time to waste so I quickly go in and grab her stuff.

As I'm in the elevator to go down it stops on a random floor and some guy walks in. This is that guy that talked to Courtney the other day.

"How are you?" He asked me

"Fine"

"Are those Courtney's things? I was looking for her , do you know where she is?"

"Yes they are and don't worry about where she is , have a good day" we get off and both go our separate ways.

"Leaving Mr.Ford?" Kim ask

"Just running these out to Ms.Rhodes"

As I get outside I see her already by her car. I approach her "can you put the stuff in the backseat please" she opens her doors and I set it all on the backseat.

"Make sure those emails are done and sent before midnight"

"They already are" she smiles.

"Good work then" I nod. "I'll see you tomorrow, on time!"

"Yes on time"

(Courtney)
I get to my house and walk in. "Hey Girl How was your day?" Angelina says as I walk in

"It was ...... busy" I nod as I shut the door.

"Busy? What kind of busy" she ask

"Appropriate busy of course , work obviously"

"Boring , you still ain't fuck him yet?"

"I'm never gonna fuck my boss Angelina , just give it up"

"Fine"

"How was your day?"

"It was good , sorry I made you late this morning" she apologizes

"It's fine , I didn't get in any big trouble so that's good but I can't be late again"

"Of course I won't have you up like that again"

I take a seat next to her at the kitchen island
"I talked to Dylan today"

"How was it?" I ask her

"It was alright , just talked about the breakup and if we ever will get back together"

"Are you?"

"I don't know , we both agreed we need this break up and some space from each other"

"Well just take your time and when you're ready you'll figure it all out"

"You're right I just need to relax and think about myself for a while , I been looking into some more apartments and even jobs"

"That's good , just know you can stay here however long you need to" I smile

"Thank you but I don't wanna be all up in your space for too long hopefully I'll be out of here soon but again thank you"

"Like I said take your time"

"Anyways how's your love life? We already know you ain't fucking Mr.Ford" I roll my eyes at her sentence before talking.

"Nothing is really going on in my love life" I tell her

"What about that guy Joshua?"

"Oh I don't know we are just friends , he's cute I don't know" I shrug

"I mean you're hot so it's not hard for you" I smile and laugh at her

"Thanks Ang"
