Promotion

6. Curves

Misty stared at her reflection on the mirror. She breathed heavily.

"You can do this, Misty."

Adjusting her short tight dress and running her hand through her hair one more time, Misty exited the restroom.

Her steps were quick and she happened to bump right into Ash, who was walking past the restrooms. Both didn't touch each other but were quite startled.

"Sorry." Ash spoke instantly. He looked at Misty for a fraction of a second, his eyes landing on her cleavage that was showing this morning.

"You never pay attention." Misty kept adjusting her short dress around her hips under Ash's gaze.

"I said sorry, Misty." He raised an eyebrow.

"I know. It's fine. I'm sorry too." Misty stood straight. "I mean, you don't apologize every day."

"What is your point this morning, Misty?" He narrowed his eyes.

"I'm just wondering, you know."

They remained silent for a moment.

"Wondering what?" He asked.

Misty's goal wasn't really talking to Ash. She just wanted him to look more at her, see her beauty. "Aren't you a little curious Ash?"

He let a chuckle. "I'm off."

Ash started walking away quickly toward his office. He slammed the door shut.

"He needs a lot of work..." She couldn't believe herself she was doing this, but May was right.

Ash was a man.

She could seduce him. It was the easiest thing to do, for Misty. When she wanted a man, she got that man. No guy has ever refused her, and she presumed Ash was no exception. If she charms him, he'll be on his knees in no time.

And she'll get promoted.

"Oh, Red! Look at all this beauty!"

Misty turned around. "Oh, you."

"Look at the swirls." Gary Oak drew two round big circles in the air with his fingers, hinting at her breasts. "This new dress fits you perfectly! You just fit great in everything, Miss Williams."

"Thanks, I guess."

"You are beautiful every day but today you are just more than beautiful." He put his hand on his chest. "My heart can't take it."

"Maybe you need some coffee." She didn't trust Gary Oak fully. He had twenty faces. At the moment, she wasn't even sure he was complimenting her or trying to imply she looked slutty.

"I think I need to come to this floor." He nodded. "That way, we'll bump into each other very often."

"Maybe when you become a vice-president."

"I want my office to be right next to yours, then."

"That if you take Ash's spot."

"If!" He chuckled. "I can't take Ash's spot." He started walking away, "And I'm talking about hearts, not offices!"

Misty gulped. "I think I don't like this guy..."

Turning around, Misty noticed Ash who was with Raja near her desk, showing her something on the papers.

Misty walked past them quickly.

"Alright, sir." Raja nodded and looked at Ash. "I will call them to confirm the appointment."

Ash was looking blankly at Misty who was walking away.

"Sir?"

"Huh-what?" He turned his attention to his assistant. "What?"

"I'll confirm the appointment..."

"Uh, thank you..." Ash gulped. He glanced toward Misty's office and quickly headed back inside to his.

Raja blinked. She organized her papers. "This was so weird I wish I had a camera."
