Head B*tch In Charge

Chapter 12

Lisa headed to Monica's house after leaving the office. She got there early to see if there was anything she needed help with.

'Hey chick!' Lisa beamed at Monica.

'Hey girl!' Monica stated as the two hugged.

'It feels like I haven't seen or spoken to you in a long time. So I have some juicy stuff to tell you!' Lisa stated as she entered the home.

Monica's house was very elegantly designed, yet simple. As you moved from room to room, you would notice the color coordination throughout the house. Monica used gold accents to give the house its elegant look. She collected elephants and had them setup throughout the house in various sizes.

'What do you need help with?' Lisa asked.

'Actually, everything is almost ready. I prepped this morning so I could relax this evening. So, what juicy stuff do you have to share with me? Wait, before we get into that, I have to tell you that your admirer was blowing my phone up while you were gone.'

'Who?'

'Mike! Who else?' Monica stated while rolling her eyes.

'Well after what happened today I'm sure he won't be bothering you anymore.' Lisa stated with a disgusted look.

'You saw Mike already? Damn Lisa you just got back from spending time with mystery man.'

'It's not like that Monica. First, mystery man's name is Derrick. Secondly, Mike's ass was in my office, on my desk banging my assistant.'

'Mike is gay?!?'

Lisa laughed. 'No, he was messing with Angela.'

'Girl, I thought you were talking about Bryce. I was going to say Mike never gave me that vibe.'

'So I decide to go to the office to get some work done since I have been gone for a few days. When I get off the elevator, I noticed the lights were on. The guard stated no one else was in the building, so I just assumed they were left on accidentally. As I got closer to my office, there were loud moaning noises. When I opened the door, I found Mike pressed against Angela on MY desk! The nerve of those two!'

'What?!? Angela always seemed like the quiet type. I'm surprised.' Monica stated with a gasp.

'I was too!'

'So, what did you do?' Monica asked.

'Mike attempted to explain, which you know me, I could care less. I called security to escort him out. I told Angela I expected a new desk in my office before I arrived and that it was coming out of her check.'

'You are letting her keep her job?!? I'm shocked!'

'Oh no! She is going to be fired, but after she gets my new desk in the office.'

Monica busted out in laughter. 'I should have known better!'

'You know that's disrespectful to fuck on someone's desk. I couldn't even sit at my desk to get my work done. I had to sit at Bryce's desk.'

'Who knows what Bryce has done at his desk.' Monica stated with a lifted eyebrow,

'Don't even play like that.' Lisa stated.

'What? You don't know what goes on in there when you are not there.'

'Thats true. That is why I'm going to get cameras installed.'

'Now your team will really think you are going mad.' Monica stated with laughter.

'Whatever.' Lisa stated as she rolled her eyes.

'How was your trip with mystery-I mean Derrick?'

'Monica it was beautiful! We enjoyed each other's physical presence and sexually of course. We got the opportunity to get to know each other a little more.'

'It sounds like you two may be getting serious.'

'We are serious. I can't believe it, but I'm officially OFF the market!'

'Really?!?' Monica yelped almost spitting out her wine.

'Surprised, I know. It surprised me too.'

'What was said to get to that point?' Monica asked.

'Well, he just told me that he wanted to have a relationship.'

'You don't think that you are moving really fast? I mean, what does he do for a living? Does he have kids? How many? Where is he from? Is he close to his parents?' Monica spurted out.

'Listen Monica, I really like him. Ever since the first day I saw him I could not stop thinking about him. We aren't getting married. We are just going to continue to see where things go from here.'

'In other words you don't know the answers to those questions?' Monica stated sarcastically.

'He works in private business, he does not have any kids, he is originally from New York but moved to Georgia with his foster parents, and he lost his biological parents when he was a little kid. Can we eat now?'

Monica decided to leave the topic alone. She wanted to ask about the "private business" part, but she could tell her friend was tired of being questioned about the man she likes. Monica just hoped for her best friend's sake that Derrick is really who he says he is.

The two sat down at the table to eat their grilled salmon, asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes. After dinner, Lisa opened up to Monica about her father being alive and in Miami.

Typical Monica told Lisa that she should go to the hotel and speak to him. It was the only way she could close that chapter of her life and her father was the only one who could answer all of her questions.

After they cleaned and said their goodbyes, Lisa decided to listen to Monica and go see her father. The scariest part is going to be finding out why he left. Lisa knew that once that was revealed, it could change everything. Little did she know, it also could affect her business.
