My Boss

Chapter 10

Beep, beep. I groaned and grabbed my phone from the nightstand, looking at the clock it was 6am and I didn't sleep 3 hours in total. I signed and lay on my stomach, letting my hand to rest on the ground. The phone fall from my hand on a floor as I closed my eyes for a moment.

Another beeping sound was heard and I groaned again and sat down on the bad, wiping my eyes. I grabbed the phone from floor. 7:30 I felt a sleep.

"Fuck!"

I got up and rushed toward the bathroom. My cheek was slightly swollen and reddish spread even more. I washed my face with some cold water to wake myself up. I grabbed a toothbrush and sat on the toilet to pee. My eyes were still closed I didn't have strength to open them.

After finishing my morning routine, I grabbed the powder from drawer and applied some on my neck and cheek. I grabbed mascara and applied some on my eyelashes. I sighed and brushed my hair. I was late, I was so fucking late.

I ran back to my room and looked toward my closet. I grabbed a black long sleeve shirt and black leather skirt. As dressing up and thinking what I should do with my hair the phone rang pulling me away from my thoughts. I ran toward the nightstand, as tucking in my shirt. I picked my phone up not bothering to look who was calling me.

"What?!" I yelled. "Um good morning to you too miss Marano. I can see you are running late for your first day at the job" I pulled my phone away from my ear and my screen shown his name.

"I'm so sorry I slept in" he chuckled. "Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No you don't have to do that boss" he chuckled again. "Well miss Marano this will be deducted from your salary."

I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but his voice sounded so serious. "I promise it will never happen again" I pounded, as pulling my black heels on.

"I will come to pick you up, you can't drive don't forget. I will be there in 10" before I could say anything he cut off the line and signed again and grabbed my perfume from my bag. I pressed it four times. Two times on each side of my neck, third on my wrist and the last one on my hair. Everyone says that females have to put a perfume on their hair especially if they wear their hair down. That most attractive to man is when women hair smalls nice.

I grabbed my white coat from a chair and my purse. I looked at myself in the mirror fixing my hair, hoping the magic will happen and fixed it by it was too late to do something.

I signed and searched for my keys in the purse. I started to panic not seeing them anywhere as walking to the kitchen.

"Did you see my keys" Jack shook his head no and I groaned. "Fuck I slept in. I'm so late and now I can't find my keys. This day can't get any worse."

"Relax sis, everything will be fine" I sat at the dining table and put my head into my hands. I brushed my cheek against my hand and it started to burn, making me to jump and pulled back.

"Does it hurt?" Jack asked and I nodded.

"A little. It will be over soon" I smiled at him and he walked closer to me.

"Who did this?" he whispered and brushed his fingers against my cheek.

"I don't have time to talk. We will when I get back from work I promise" he sighed and pulled his hand away. "I just want to know how did this to my sister."

I hugged him and he slowly wrapped his arms around me, squeezing me between his arms. "I love you Jack."

"I love you too" he whispered in my neck and I chuckled. "But I need to go."

He pulled away from the hug and gave me a little kiss on forehead.

"Did you see my keys?" I asked and he chuckled.

"They are in the door. You left them there last night" I smiled at him and walked toward the door, pulling my key out from lock and open the door.

"Bye Jack, see you later" I closed the door, before giving him even a chance to say anything and made my way toward elevator.

As reaching the lobby I already saw black car being parked in front the building. I smiled and made my way outside.

The cold breeze hit me as stepping out and I shivered, as pulling my coat closer to me. Few drops of the rain was falling from the sky. Leaves were almost gone from the trees, only few of them were still sticking on.

My heart started to beat faster as I was reaching toward his car. His left hand was resting on the steering wheel as his gaze was directed downwards. He looked up and smiled as he saw me walking towards him.

"I'm so sorry for being late" I apologise as sitting in the car, pulling my coat with me and closing the door. I turned around finding him already looking at me. He smiled and slowly lay in giving me a quick kiss on the cheek. The skin started to burn again and I hissed.

"Oh sorry. I didn't hurt you did I?" I shook my head and smiled.

"You clean nice, you look better than on the interview" he chuckled and I puffed.

"Am thank you I guess. Am I in trouble?" he shrugged as starting to drive.

"Depends what kind of trouble" he smirked and I rolled my eyes. "You know we cannot walk in the building together, right?"

He looked at me, giving me a confused look and look back at the road.

"I don't want everyone to think I got a job because I'm sleeping with you" I whispered and he laughed a little.

"I'm serious Ross."

"Fine whatever. You will go in first" I nodded my head and smiled.

"Don't you ever think you got a job because we slept once together. You were my top candidate before I even saw you and your abilities got you a job and nothing else."

"I know" I turned to the side a little and looked at him. "I just don't want anyone to think it is different. Not on my first day. I don't know how will I fit in and if they will accept me. But sleeping with you, I'm sorry but I think that every girl that you have hired wants you and me being new and coming inside with you will only give me hate. And I don't want that."

He nodded understandably and took my hand into his. He gave me a little squeeze and a kiss, before putting our hands on his lap. "I will park one block away and wait until you get in."

I nodded still smiling and leaning in giving him kiss on the cheek for first time. He looked surprise making me to blush. I leaned back into my seat.

The rest of the drive was quiet.
