"Who knew that mama leaving would lead to this-" he stops mid sentence as his hands circles around me pulling my back flush against his front.
"What? Your Happy Ending?" I question as we gaze at the stars
"Our" he said as he peppered kisses down my...
The elevator ride is excruciatingly long, as soon as I step out my eyes stray off looking for Valerie.
"I'm over here" her voice rings through the left corridor.
"This right here is my new office" she points to the first door on my right
"As you know this one, which now belongs to Ashton" She points to the main office / CEO's office.
"And this is yours for now and if you choose to take the job of course" I completely zone out after that.
This room is gorgeous !!
"I'll leave you to readjust and If you need anything I'm only a few rooms away " she leaves and I stare at the room in awe.
I quickly shut the door and pull out my breast pump. Instead of sitting by the desk on the new chair i decide to sit on the floor near the tall windows. I sigh loudly feeling instant relief as the milk is pumped into the little attachment.
I'm gonna need a fridge in here.
It's a simple but large office with a display and practical work section connected.
This is the office area just bigger.

Lunch time rolls around pretty quickly but instead of going to lunch I'm sitting in the floor of what could be my office windows pouring my freshly pumped breast milk into little baggies trying to figure out if to take the position or not .
It's sur real people would kill to have this job. I need to pull myself together.
I'm gonna get some lunch and then go tell Valerie I'm taking the job.
"Hey , wanna grab some lunch?" I ask Laura while fidgeting with one of her pens.
"Yes, lets find Leo first and then we'll go" she laughs
We walk towards a small cafe not to far away. I order a simple sandwich and a lemonade.
"I'm taking the position" I say sipping on my drink quickly after.
"You owe mw twenty dollars shit face" Laura snickers towards Leo
"You guys made a bet?"
"Yes we did and I just lost" Leo huff's in his seat.
We all chuckle and continue eating until Laura pipes up.
"Wait that means-" she trails off and I nod
"Trust me the office needs some work but we'll get there" I say
Idiot that's what I am an idiot!
"WHAT OFFICE" they both scream causing a few heads to turn in our direction
"The one upstairs that Valerie gifted me " I say softly
After a bit of convincing they both talk their way into a tour.
And that's how we ended up in here Leo on the floor staring at the ceiling and Laura some where in one of the other rooms attached.
I managed to slip out of the room without them realizing, feeling the anxiety bubbling in me I quickly swallow the lump in my throat or maybe it was my lunch mixed with bile I'm not to sure at this point
Coming to a stop in front of the door I stare at it for a few seconds before knocking.
A soft " come in" is heard and my fingers grip the cold golden door handle.
Closing the door behind me I glance around her new office, it isn't much different perhaps a bit smaller.
"Do you like it ?"
"hmm?" I mumbled not paying attention.
"Do you like it" Valerie chuckles but that isn't what brings me out of my trance its the booming voice of her grandson, my new boss.
"I really hope you work better than you communicate fucking mute" taken aback by his statement I lowly clear my throat.
"Sorry Sir that was totally inappropriate of me" I start but Valerie stops me.
"What is wrong with you? Have I raised you as a dog that is not how you speak to a woman much less your employee" She whisper shouts and she turns her attention towards me.
"Umm I came to tell you that I would take the position" I say more to myself than to her.
"Great you would be crazy not to." she squeals
" Your first order of business will be coming up a new summer line on short notice in 6 weeks to be exact"
"WHAT THE FUCK" Is what i want to scream but instead I stare blankly and utter a small no problem.
"How well you execute this will tell me if you deserve this promotion, however after today it will tell me if you even deserve this fucking job" he says leaving me stunned again this time he leaves and slams the door behind him.
"I'm sorry about him he's a bit stressed, you'll be working closely with him these coming weeks, he'll warm up don't worry." she says in a reassuring tone. A forced smile make my way onto my face.
After some more discussion about the summer line I head to my now empty office and grab my bags. The only good thing Mr. Pierce did today was dismiss us early.
