Monica Rhodes

It's almost been a month and still no job, right now I'm with Luna who was drinking with me. "Baby mama, I don't know what to do about your stupid, no good brother of yours." Anthony and Luna haven't been speaking to each other and they're making each other jealous and it's so petty. " Well you should talk to him like a normal human being." She scoffed. "Yeah right." Sometimes, I regret trying.

"Then what are you planning on doing then?" She drank the wine in her glass. "I'm going on a date with this guy I met, he's taking me to a five star restaurant and I'm going to take a lot of pictures and post it to make Tony jealous." You know she's crazy but you don't say anything because she's your best friend.

"So how long will this go on?" I sipped my wine. "Until he realizes that he's wrong and he needs me." She folded her arms. "But what if you end up falling for this guy?" Luna rolled her eyes. "Your brother is the only one for me." She picked her phone up. "Now you know what to do." I sighed, taking her phone as she posed on the couch with her wine glass. She looked like she was on a date and the guy had her phone taking a picture of her.

"This is madness." She shut me up and captioned the picture. 'This is our second cozy date 😘'. The minute she posted it I got a call from Anthony.

"Is she really on some date?" I looked over at Luna who gave me a face saying, 'You better lie.'

With an annoyed sigh I replied. "Yes, they're downstairs acting all lovey dovey." Luna grinned.

He sighed, "You know I love her, Monica, why don't you stop her?" Luna perked up with that one.

"It's not my place and even if it were, she would want to hear it from you and not me, so man up." With that I hung up, looking at Luna. "Well let's see who'll make the right choice." With that I walked up to my room.

Micheal Banes

My office was a mess, my profits went down by 10%, I haven't slept in 3 days, coffee has been my best friend. This new PA couldn't even work a damn laptop, she deleted all my work information instead of sending them to me. I can't do this! If I keep this idiot any longer, I'll be broke and in an asylum. I have to put my pride away. I looked at my phone and dialed the number.

A couple rings later she picked up.

"Hello, this is Monica Rhodes speaking." I missed her voice.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" Speak you dummy!

"Monica, this is Micheal, your ex boss."

The other end got quirt for a few seconds but then she spoke. "Why are you calling me?"

"I'm not beating around the bushes here. I need you back the office is a mess, I can't get anything done, I haven't slept in three days and this new PA is shit! Please come back." I complained to her like a child.

Again her side went quiet. "I want a raise." 

"Done, just come back and make everything good again!" She laughed at me.

"I'll be there soon." With that she hung up and literally all the weight left my shoulders.

"Mr. Banes, I got your coffee." The PA ran in, tripping and spilled the coffee on my white rug. She got up frowning. "I can't do anything right." I looked at her. "You're fired, get out." I didn't even care that she was crying, I was getting my Monica back.

As soon as she got to my office, looking gorgeous as ever, she placed her hands on her hips. "Help." All she did was shake her head. "Let that incident be the last time you ever insult me or belittle me again." I nod. "I was wrong and I know that, I just didn't have the guts to admit it."

All she did was push some buttons on my laptop and my files were restored. "A good PA always has backups of everything." She sat down at my desk and started working out all the paper work I had. She was turning me on, independent, sexy and bold black woman. She sorted them out under an hour and got files to their respectable places. "There, now you can think."

She then looked at the rug and sighed. "Who did this?" I was too ashamed to tell her. "You know what, I'll get it out." Monica walked out the office and soon came back with some backing soda, some water and tooth paste and got right to work. I have no idea why but I felt a tent in my pants. This was so wrong and what made it worse was her ass was right in my face. "Leave it a while, it'll come out." With that she looked at me. "I still want my raise, I wasn't joking." She then walked out my office, leaving me in my thoughts.

"I'm gonna apologize more often." I mumbled. I got back to work feeling much better about this situation. My phone rang and it was Monica.

"Sir, I see here that you have a 3 o' clock meeting with Tony Giovanni and he's on his way up."

"I almost forgot about that." I hung up and saw the door open and there was the old fuck.

"My favorite partner." He grinned. "I just greeted my favorite lady outside, I'm glad she's still here." He sat down and looked at me. "I heard about the charity ball and I'd be delighted to go as long as Monica is being auctioned. She's going to bring in so much money for this charity. No man can resist her beauty, not even you." I didn't talk but listened.

"Is that why you came?" Tony sighed. "I also came to apologize in person for what my granddaughter did to you, she was sent to prison for her actions, I may love her but I will not stand for behaviors like that." He looked at me seriously. "I appreciate you coming here and telling me this."

"I also came to tell you that, I was young once and I know how it is to be a business man but don't let that get in the way of happiness, so what if you got your heart broken, there will always be a person to make you forget, don't forget that." I glared at the old fuck as he stood.

"I don't want to over do my stay so I'll be on my way." He grabbed whatever he came with and headed out as Monica came in with coffee, something I've been needing. Tony kissed her cheek. "Take care of yourself Tony, I don't want any bad news anytime soon." He waved her off, giving her a smile then walked out. She was truly someone special.

"Here's your coffee." I thanked her but stopped her before she made her way out. "I usually host a charity ball every three years to give to those in need and this is the year." She nods. "Sounds exciting." I swallowed hard. "Well everyone one in this building is supposed to come and of course you have to come since you're PA again." She held a big grin on her face. "It's November 24th and dress to impress, there's gonna be a lot of people there. Don't worry since you're my PA I'm taking you myself."

"It's a date then, I'll save the date." When she said those words to me I wear my heart fell out my ass. Maybe not all women are the same
