Tempting Mr Perfect

04.Good luck at your job

Ashley's POV

Rushing back home to meet Charlotte and Nicole because I was dismissed from work quite early today by My boss, it seems that's the only nice thing he has done so far today.

Me and the girls met at a cafe not too far from Charl's place. After placing our orders, Nicki being the one who doesn't really take keen to being delayed in any gist available immediately asks me about my job, how it's going, about my boss of course after I briefed them over the phone on the way to the cafe with our usual conference call.
Charl glaring at her to chill out a bit, that's why I have her around whenever matters like this are involved. Smiling at Nicki's reaction immediately shutting up I wish I had that type of effect on her too,
"well, my boss is a dickhead. I don't think am among his first hundred Personal assistants because I don't see why anybody will have the grace to work for him with his disapproving attitude " I tell them, Charl as usual nods her head approvingly at my words that's a surprise cos she is the one that usually says the good stuffs and doesn't support the bad stuffs. While Nicki just keeps taking sips from her latte coffee and studying me intently now that's weird, after some few seconds she finally speaks
"Then why are you still working for him? "
She asks too quietly for my liking. "Come on Nicki, she just started working with him it's not even up to 5 hours" Charl answers for me but I have a better answer for that question. "Listen Nicki, am up for any challenge with him if he really feels I'll back out that easily. Well he should think again cos Ashley Brooks is here to stay even if it means going beyond the boundaries necessary " I said proudly with a full blown smile knowing this challenge is going to be a hell lot of fun.

After securing my car at the parking lot, I step out and head into the building seems like today is gonna be a better day after all, I wasn't late and didn't have any accident on the way quite a good sign.
Beaming a bright smile at the receptionist then stepped into the elevator to the last floor, it was a long ride tho but the music really got me grooving. Stepping out of the elevator into the hallway I make my way to my office, setting my things in order then rushing to check on my boss, Nope not on his seat that means he's at a meeting. Not really knowing what to do I try to arrange a few things in his office his desktop was a mess, a gigantic mess. After placing everything and taking one last look at my work quite proud of myself, feeling tempted to look over the window cos I guess the sight would be wonderful. Not knowing what I was doing I inched closer to the window my subconscious mind kept pulling me back but I just couldn't resist it, I'll only take a quick glance then leave well my quick glance turned into minutes of staring out at the magnificent sight before me it felt as if I was in the middle of the city looking over them as they're mayor, what a dream Ashley I said mentally smiling at my foolishness. Not hearing when someone had walked into the office, banging the door too loudly that could cause the building to collapse. I turned around to see a very furious Michael.

Swallowing loudly, I started fumbling with my fingers looking for a reasonable excuse or lie to tell him seeing me in his office not even searching files but looking over his window "Ha!! I told you so" my subconscious mocked me not really helping in anywhere necessary at this point. "What are you doing in my office Ms. Brooks? "He asks glaring daggers at me and walking forward till he stood directly in front of me.
"Um,.. Errm.. I came in to check if you were on your seat but you weren't, so I decided to arrange and fix up a few things " I said while gesturing to the now better looking office which he obviously doesn't like seeing him rake his fingers roughly through his hair then pulled the ends hardly.
"Listen Ashley or whatever you call yourself, you can't just come into my office and mess up with my things I believe you have yours so you better stay within that confinement and don't you dare come into my office unless am the one who asked you in. Are we clear? "He said barking roughly at me, well what a nice way to treat a lady Mr Jason.
"Yes sir" I simply said not wanting to get involved in any argument with him this morning it's too early for that, then walking out of the office closing the door behind me. I seat at my desk playing Zuma's revenge on my laptop not having anything to do at the moment, soon the receptionist appears with a bunch of flowers in her hands dropping it off at my desk "Someone brought that in for you" she said looking at the flowers gushingly, who could've done this probably not Nicki and Charl they're not into this kinda stuffs. I took out the card and it stated there "Congratulations and good luck at your job. Xoxo"
Who could this be, I stare at the flowers not really knowing what to do with it then suddenly Ruth speaks up;Ruth is the receptionist. "Come on let's go get some coffee from the kitchen" she said pulling me up, never knew this building had a kitchen in it but I wasn't quite surprised cos it's big enough to even have a full apartment. Following her lead I leave the office wanting to put the flower away but decided to leave it there it wouldn't hurt a soul it's pretty after all.

Well I was wrong about that, I got a heck of a dealing from that pretty flower, I should really start doing what my subconscious tells me to.
