Music to my Heart

Chapter 18 - The Office

Ambreea decided it would be good for me to shadow her before I make my decision if I want to work with her or not. She wore her red dress today and I had on my old business suite on. We walked in, her leading me as she was pointing everything out and explaining. Everyone greeted her as she passed and the guys didn't hide how they were gawking at her. I rolled eyes brushing it off until we reached her office. She walked in and sat at her desk while her assistance came walking in.

"Beonka, from the museum, is expecting you today at the breakfast meeting. She said it starts at 7 o'clock," She spit out quickly.

"Any meetings for today?" Ambreea asked as she opened her computer. Her assistant mumbled 'no' as she looked through what looked like a planner. "Perfect, I will be giving Lukas a tour." Her assistant nodded before leaving her office and heading to her desk, "That was Daisy, by the way."

"What a nice place you have here," I said as I began to walk around her new office that was once her dads.

"I miss him," she started before pausing. "Being here without him, it's hard," she said which caused her voice to hitch while speaking.

I walked over to her and spoke before kissing her forehead, "I know, baby." She wrapped her arm around my waist and pulled me close for a side hug.

"Let's start that tour, shall we?" she said trying to bring her voice back up. She locked her computer and we headed out her office. She reintroduced me to her assistant, Maya. She was a elderly lady who has been with the company for years. She showed me the break room that had the kitchen that had a vending machine and couch with a T.V. We then moved to the mail and copy room. She explained each division of cubicles that separate what each group does. After the office was covered, she showed me the office gym in the basement that had a pool. She occasionally introduced me to people while giving me the tour. I met her dad's old executive, Henry, who was a elderly man that was now with Maya. The couple had been involved for as long as Ambreea could remember, but they didn't ever label it until after her dad passed. They were more like her godparents now; I didn't even recognize them from the funeral because I only cared for Ambreea. Once the tour was over, we went back to her office and she plopped down in her seat with a sigh.

"What would I be needed for here?" I asked as I sat down across from her in the leather seat.

"You would be my right-hand man," she said with laugh as she sat forward with her elbows on her desk and her hands under her chin to hold her head. "I want you to be the project manager. You would be picking what to present to me and how things should be done. You will be the one reaching out to clients and scheduling the meetings," she's aid and I nodded. I stayed quiet while considering it. I didn't need a job and it certainly wasn't my scene, but if I was close to Ambreea I wouldn't mind. "Well...?" she pushed me to answer.

"Sure," I said and she squealed.

"I mean how cool would it be to work together?" she asked happily.

I got up and leaned down to her ear before whispering, "It will be a pleasure when no one is looking." I sat back down and watched as she shifted in her seat with a grin on her face. She eyed me up and down and I motioned my finger 'no' before saying, "tisk, tisk, eyeing up what you can't having right now."

She rolled her eyes and got up, heading towards the door, "I'll show you your new team." I got up and walked towards her as she opened the door. I reached around her waist and grabbed her ass cheek closest to me before exiting the room. I heard her gasp but it only made me grin. I looked back to see her eyes staring me down. We kept our distance as she led me to the closest set of cubicles. "Jess," Ambreea said getting the young girl's attention. She looked about our age with red hair. She gave me a small smile and reached her hand out to shake mine.
