Jefferson's Secretary

Surprise bonding

ANGELICA'S POV

   I hate life sometimes. Like the people in it. Or at least one. After that little fiasco when I walked in on Maria and Thomas, Maria seems to resent me. I don't know why. Just she does. It's strange...
  
   Right now I'm just doing work, not bothering anyone, when Maria strolls up to my desk with a smirk. "What do you want, Maria?" I asked, not looking up from my papers.

   "Oh nothing... I just wanted to see how the little whore is doing." She said innocently and my pencil stopped moving. "What?" I looked up at her. Whore? "Don't think I don't notice those hickeys." She pointed out, just like John had, but this was much more threatening. "And why does it matter to you?"

   "It means that I can ruin your life with this." Maria's smirk grew. I tilted my head. "How?"

   "Well you either had sex with the boss, or you had some sort of whore one-night stand, but I can ruin your life both ways." If only she knew...

   "I can tell everyone that you slept with Mr. Jefferson and ruin your social life. Or I could tell the boss that you came in looking so dreadful and inappropriate-looking that he'll have to fire you."

   "Not really how it works, but fine. You can rest assured that I didn't fuck him, but go ahead. Tell him I have hickeys. See how he reacts." I smirked and leaned back in my chair. "So, you aren't gonna stop me?" She asked, a bit confused. "Nope. Go ahead. I'll just sit here and continue work."

   "No, not happening, you're coming with me." Maria narrowed her eyes at me. I just sighed. "Whatever let's go." I got up and walked into Thomas' office. "Sir?" I called in with a puzzled but smirking Maria behind me. I saw him swallow before turning to us. I guess the dream was right. I know what to call him from now on. "Yes Ms. Schuyler?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "Maria has some dreadful observations that she needs to share." She said with a hint of sarcasm. "Ok, Ms. Lewis, go ahead. What are they?" He looked at Maria.

   "Angelica has hickeys that she's making no effort to hide!" She announced loudly. No doubt people outside could hear. Thomas just sighed. "Yes, Ms. Lewis, I can see that."

   "What are you gonna do to her? Fire her?" Maria said confidently. Thomas laughed. "Ms. Lewis, yes she does have hickeys, but I know why and it's really awful."

   "YOU LIAR!" Maria whipped around to face me. "YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T FUCK HIM!" She practically was screaming. "Yes, Maria, that was the truth." Thomas looked a bit shaken up. "And sense you want to know so much what happened, I'll tell you." My voice was surprisingly calm for the circumstances. "This morning on my way to work I was..." my voice broke, but I powered through it. I am not going to look weak in front of her. "Some creep tried to rape me and in the process gave me the hickeys you seem to be so concerned about." I kept a straight face, watching her's fall slowly. "Oh my god. Angelica, I didn't know... I'm so sorry, I know how that feels and it is the worst thing ever..." Maria said, surprisingly very empathetic.

   "What? How do you..." I furrowed my eyebrows together, watching tears form in her eyes. "My boyfriend... he's a... a-abusive... a-and once h-he..." She swallowed.

   "Maria, oh my god... that's awful... I didn't know that... you're still dating him...?" I asked. Oh my god.

   She nodded hesitantly. "Y-yes... I don't know what he'll do if I leave him... b-but can we not talk about this n-now...?" I nodded quickly. "Of course. Though I want to talk to you about it, if that's alright with you..." I asked quietly. She smile a little bit. "Y-yeah, that would be nice." I smiled. "Ok... I can give you my phone number later." She nodded and wiped her tears away. "I should get back to work."

   "Yeah, me too. Sorry to bother you, sir." I told Thomas. Maria walked out and I started to, but Thomas called me back. "Ms. Schuyler, can I talk to you for a second?"

   I thought you'd never ask.

That got touching quickly. SO THOMAS HAS A SIR KINK. And Maria and Angie might become like best friends and John and Laf get like jealous but Angie's like "bih no you dicks are my bitches for life yawwwww" and they're all like "oh yissss you bitch yassss" and stuff yeah? Yeah.
I think that's all for now. Next chapter will be very soon definitely expect it some time tomorrow.
