Darkly, Yours

Chapter 15

Story is back at work and she couldn't be more happier. Cassius is anyway on a business trip but he left her in the office.

She saw how people whispered but pay them no mind. She's here to work and work only.

Speak of the devil.

Cassius name flash across the screen and she answer the video call.

"Hey Wildflower. Do something for me yeah? Go in the top cabinet and look for a file marked Jacobs."

Story walk to the cabinet and open it. She know where everything is because she's the one who organised it.

"Found it."

"Turn the camera on it to the second page."

Story do as he says and he read it.

"Thanks love. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye."

"Oh and eat."

He hang up just as a knock came at the door.

"Come in." The door open and a man in delivery uniform came in.

"Delivery for Story-Belle Blackwood."

"That's me."

He hand her the bag and move to leave.

"What about payment?"

"Your husband already paid."

He leave and Story was confused. Then she realized what he said before. He thought her last name is Blackwood. Well she can't do anything about it now.

She walk to the couch and sit down. Upon opening the bag, she realized how much food Cassius send her. She can't eat all of this.

She get up and walk to the door.

"Hey Jennifer. Have you eaten already?"

"No why?"

"I got too much food. Don't want it to go to waste. Italian."

"Sure. Let's me finish up here."

Story went back into the office and sit on the couch. She set out everything on the table and choose the pasta with salad and of course her orange juice.

Jennifer came in a few minutes later. She look around the office in awe. Its the first time she's ever been in the big boss office and she wasn't disappointed by what she saw.

Cassius don't let employees into his office. Especially not his assistants. He change assistants like every two weeks. Not long enough for them to get a feel of his company.

"Have a seat."

Jennifer sit down and Story motion to the food on the table.

"You know you're the talk of the company right?"

"I know. I don't care."

"So what's with you and the boss? That delivery guy call you Mrs. Blackwood."

"Misunderstanding."

Story dig into her pasta. She don't care what people think of her. She come to work, do what she should and go home. Simple as that.

"You're good for him." Story was confused by that. "I mean, people are less scared of him now. He's too occupied with you to keep a eye on everyone."

Story frown at that. She has a bad feeling about what Jennifer said. She make it sound like people are doing something they shouldn't. She'll let Cassius know about that.

"Well I'm glad."

She continue to eat and pray this lunch will be over soon.
