An affair with a married woman

How could you?

I woke up early in the morning as usual, it was time for me to get ready for work. I was trying to forget everything, what I mean forget everything is forgetting that argument that could lead to Otis distance himself from me. My only best friend, as much as I knew my parents always ruined things for me I never thought there'll be a day where the same kid I grew up with would leave me because of them. The same person they considered son for all the years.

I took a bath, after getting myself ready I went downstairs finding my parents sitting at the lounge, with a very intense air. I greeted them then I went to the kitchen got myself a fruit, I was on my way to the lounge when a happy voice was shouting outside it was Otis. He opened the door when he was about to set a step, he went back. More like when you remember you're not supposed to do that then you hold yourself. After he hold himself he went back, and shouted my name

Otis: it's time to go
Me: I'm coming.
Lea: (going towards the main door) Otis?
Otis: morning angel, I heard you want your sisters first salary but I'm the older right?
Lea: yeah so?
Otis: so I'm getting the first salary ofc, but I'm a good person we'll share
Me: (getting close to them)
Lea: fine by me but Otis, why didn't you get inside?
Otis: nothing
Lea: are you trying to act normal after yesterday? Please don't ever leave my sister like Jessie did
Me: okay enough Lea, not this again
Lea: I'm sorry about yesterday, but don't punish Ammy she'll be sad if you also leave her. Please Otis.
Otis: (hugging her) why you pleading? You know I'm nothing without her so why would you think I'd dare? And I'm glad you talked about whatever the topic yesterday I got to know where I stand in this house (chuckles)
Lea: (hugging him tight) don't ever stop coming inside , we'll play video games in my room. I'll let you play this time
Otis: you never do, you say I'll beat you
Lea: it's fine but do come.
Otis: you call yourself old, right? You understand things, so this one you should understand, there'll be a change here and maybe you won't like it but you have to adjust infact both of you, im never coming inside this house ever again maybe tomorrow I won't come out of the car , Ammy will hear the shoot then come out, we're still besties but I can't stay in a place I'm not respected. I can't (Kissing her forehead) I love you
Me: (grabbing her wrist) now go prepare yourself for school (hugs her) I love you have a good time
Lea: (hugs me back) I love you more
Me: have a good day baby
Lea: (watching us going) another good friend distancing himself from my sister, how will she manage this one
We got in a car, I didn't want to make anything awkward for Otis. I didn't talk about anything to do with the other day incidence, we had a chat where we'd both be quiet for sometime. Both of us had a lot to think about. We couldn't even realise when it was time to get off
Otis: your work place is actually good you know
Me: I know
Otis: where you at? We are here
Me: damn time passes like that
Otis: I know by the way will you manage? I can't come today, mom and I we are going somewhere
Me: oh, it is has anything to do with my parents?
Otis: no bitch, mom has an appointment later and I don't know if I'll manage but I can try if you think you can't manage, I'll squeeze you in
Me: no it's fine I'll call a cab
Otis: you sure?
Me: definitely
Otis: look we don't have to change the way we are, just because I'm not longer going to your house doesn't mean anything has changed, we're still besties and you will do sleepovers. I'm just not allowed in your house or should I say I'm not comfortable.
Me: I hope you forgive me man
Otis: yeah for being stupid I do. Take a picture of my client, I bet she's hot like Casey since they're friends
Me: hot and Evil
Otis: that sound so sexy
Me: bitch please!
Otis: (laughs) okay have a good time bestie
Me: you as well mate
Otis went home I went inside, had a chat with Iris telling me that the boss is already in I was so eager to see this crazy fellow they all praising I went up, Liam was standing close to the lift like he was waiting for me
Me: bro please , you creap the shit outta me why you do that?
Liam: you're late
Me: 2 mins?
Liam: 2 mins count, the boss has a meeting. Prepare these files for her, when you're done you have to go to Marshfield, to actual attend a meeting. You have to make sure they don't complain about her absence since she cannot make it. The meeting has to happen but you will be there. Hear those people out and bring the report
Me: hold on bro you fast, and please remind me my job again?
Liam: personal assistance of Miss Collins?
Me: then how did I ended up being some I don't know attending stupid meetings about complains?
Liam: you have to take your job serious or you'll be done for
Me: why you never corrected me when I said you're the boss? You like the title?
Liam: you never asked but you assumed why should I correct what you already assumed?
Me: wow you have a point
Liam: now go, get these files done
Me: I don't want to lie I'm scared, tell me more about the people I'm meeting?
Liam: they're actually the workers, there's a factory in Marshfield. They apparently have some complaint to make
Me: okay so I'm just there to listen to them?
Liam: convince them too to not leave their jobs
Me: they wanna quit?
Liam: yes, ma'am is kinda settling the million dollar deal right now and the workers didn't get their payments last month's. I trust she knows what she's doing and they will get payed this month but we need them to be patient first. They can't leave this job
Me: why she's having so many businesses how she manages?
Liam: you'd be surprised knowing this is her father's business, she recently owned it but it's going well, and the other ones she also just brought them
Me: what's the hurry gosh (getting inside my office) but I'll try even though I'm nervous about it
Liam: I trust you, I chose you because I know you can do it, and ma'am didn't even ask your details because she trusts me, don't disappoint me I know you can do this
Me: wow that give me more pressure
Liam: you're weird, work weirdo (leaving the office)
