After that night

Chapter Four

*Lindsey above*

Ellies' p.o.v

It's been a month since I slept with Nickolai and I've worked here for almost 3 weeks. Friday came quickly, too quickly. It's been a week of awkward run-ins with Nickolai although, I've managed to avoid him all morning. This morning was a strange one though, i threw up twice.

*ring ring, ring ring*  "Yes" I say well aware it was Nickolai on the other end.

"I need you to come to my office" he spoke and quickly hung up before I could say anything. I arose from my desk, flattened the crinkles in my skirt, and proceeded to walk to his office. I knock at the door and a few seconds later I hear his husky voice.

"Come in" I walk in and gentally close the door behind me.

"Sit down. We need to have a discussion" he spoke with a hint of anger in his voice. Fuck am I going to be fired?

"As you're well aware of the fuck ups in Milan. We will be taking a trip there Monday, for the week. Our flight leaves at 8am Monday morning, so I'll pick you up at 6am." He spoke slightly calmer then before.

"Ok. Sounds good to me. Is there any files I need to bring?" I spoke with caution, not wanting his relaxed mood to change.

"No. I'll take care of everything. You can have an hour for lunch. Be back by 2:45." He spoke.

"Thank you." I spoke as a walked out the door and to my desk. I grab my purse and trench coat. Then I walk to the elevator and down to the lobby. As the doors open and I walk past the front desk, I hear Lindsey the receptionist speak to me

"Oh, hey Ellie!"

"Hi! How are you?" I spoke politely.

"Great! Wanna go grab a bite to eat together?!" She said hopefully.

"Sure. I was just headed to the salad bar on the corner if you wanna come?" I said.

"Sure!" She spoke excitedly as she grabs her things and we walk out the front doors.

"Mmhhh" I moan as I feel the fresh air hit my pale skin. Lindsey giggles.

"Sorry, I haven't been outside when the sun is fully out all week." I spoke softly.

"It's fine!" She said as a large smile crept on to her face.

"I know that Mr. Acosta keeps his assistants locked away hard at work. I'm suprised you're here. Most of his assistants quit on the first day. I'd never quit if I was his assistant! He's just so dreamy isn't he?! I'd do anything to make him mine!" She said while her large smile starts to change into a slightly evil smirk. She's getting a bit creepy... I let out an awkward chuckle. Holy crap she's a psycho.

We arrive at the salad bar and get in line to order. Lindsey goes first and I just stand there zoning out, thinking about my buisness trip with Nickolai.

"Miss?" The salad maker said.

"Yes?!" I spoke slightly out of it.

"I asked you what kind of lettuce you wanted." He said growing slightly irritated at me.

"Sorry, romaine." I spoke trying to stop my blush and make this even more embarrassing. I finished ordering the rest of my salad and sat down to eat with Lindsey. The whole conversation was about Nickolai. From his outfits, to his family, and she even started to talk about his penis size. She says it's average but ohh she doesn't even know. It's huge. She just kept blabbing and I nodded my head not listening to her.
