Hating The Mafia King

34: Stranger Danger

"Send me an expresso, please," I order using the landline. I end the call and swirl my chair around to grab the file that is sitting on the cabinet behind me as I grab it, I swirl the chair back to its normal position. Today is a very busy day, I am piled up with a lot of work but thankfully one of my co-workers, Asher decided to give me a hand even though it isn't his job to do that.

Not quite long after I started working on the papers, a staff knock on my door and I told him to come in. I don't take my gaze off the papers I'm working on as the staff approaches me and keeps the coffee by the side of the table before he walks out of the cabin. I take a sip out of it and I exhale; warm refreshing coffee. The exact thing I need to make me concentrate.

I am almost done with what I am doing when Asher knocks on my cabin door. I call out for him to come in before he does.

"Hey Rachel, sorry I took longer than expected." He says approaching my desk "But I'm done working on the files. Everything is intact, you can check them to make sure that I didn't miss anything. I also sent an email to Tower Hills Company so you don't have to do that."

"That's so nice of you, Asher. You didn't have to do that I was going to send them an email." I lie through my teeth. I totally forgot about sending them an email.

"Yeah I know but I just wanted to help you out." He says, smiling. Asher has a perfect shape smile so whenever he smiles I can see his front teeth.

When Asher offered to assist me, I told him I was going to email Tower Hills concerning the contract but seems like Asher was thoughtful enough to help me with that too. How sweet is he!

"Thank you so much, Asher," I say taking the files from his hand "I don't know how I would have managed without you." I open the files to see that he has done all the work not missing a single thing.

"You're welcome and please call me Alex." He says smiling. Asher is charming and cute, but obviously not my type.

"Sure," I say smiling back at him

"So- uhm, Rachel, I was thinking. A few of us are going to get a drink after work down at Spencer's bar, so I was wondering if you want to come." He shrugs, feeling shy for some reason. "Would you like to come?" He sounds very nervous

Normally I would say no but with the way, he helped me out today. No, won't be the right answer although I'm kinda shocked that he invited me since I'm Richie's fiancé I didn't think anyone would want to talk outside of work.

"Sure, why not," I respond

He shot me a smile and nods. "That's cool, see you later." He walked out of my cabin and I proceeded to keep the files inside the cabinet.

Finally arranging the files, I head to Richie's office with some documents. I need his signature on them. Just as I expected, Richie is on a call but his attention is on the file sitting on his desk. The clicking of my heels caught his attention and he looks at me with a gracing smile.

I stand by the door holding onto the doorknob "You busy?" I inquire.
