Good For You

(Chapter. 6) Who Are You?

The next day started out as every other does. I woke up, rolled around angered about having to get up.Next came the shower and makeup. Lastly I got dressed, today it's burgundy dress that goes to mid-thigh with black booties.This usually is a club dress but I didn't have time to do laundry so here we go. I grabbed a bagel and headed to work.

"Damn girl you're looking hot today! Who are you trying to impress?" Sam yelled while approaching me.

"I'm not, please shut up I don't want a scene. I was supposed to do laundry last night but with everything that happened I didn't have time. I brought a black cardigan to try to hide my boobs." I explained.

"I'm just kidding gosh! You do look gorgeous though. Every guy in here won't be able to focus today. I'll see you later. Oh and because Noah is out you have a temp. They will be here momentarily. Bye." She said and disappeared.

I'm a little nervous to have a temp, Noah has always been my assistant. He just gets me and stays on top of things. Hopefully it won't be that bad.

"Alright, good morning Ms.Noble is it? Oh my god Alice? Well, well,well this should be fun. You look sexy as hell. Is this how you got this job?" A familiar voice asked. I looked up to find my ex Chad looking at me. Boy Chad was a big mistake. He was one of those tell you what you want to hear and act perfect and then cheat on you types. We dated for six months and then I caught him in bed with another woman. I fell well I thought fell for him because he was caring and had a good sense of humor. He knew I wanted the white picket fence and the spark. He kept lying and saying we had the spark. He is hot though, that's the one thing that didn't change about him. He has black hair and deep blue eyes. He is currently wearing a white button down with the sleeves rolled up and black tight fitting slacks. It's like he's trying to be Noah.

I got up and closed the door.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing here? What did daddy's money run out? He isn't buying or building anymore hotels?" I snapped.

"Woe, woe I was just kidding calm down, you do look sexy though. I'd get that right here on your desk. Want me to shut the blinds?" He smirked.

"You won't be "getting" anything I can assure you. Seriously why are you a temp?" I asked rudely.

"I'm building a resume so it doesn't look like my dad gave me everything. People were talking so here I am. I'm your temp."

Fine, whatever but I'm going to tell you how this is going to go. You can be my temp. But you will do your job, no exceptions. You will not flirt with me.You will call me Ms.Noble not Alice. This will be strictly professional. If you can't handle that then there's the door. My regular assistant does an outstanding job so I expect you to pick up where he left off. I am a big deal around here. I run the blog and I meet with potential clients and pick manuscripts to be published. I have your list of duties ready. Would you like to attempt this and stop wasting my time? Or are you going to leave? Your fucking decision, I don't care either way." I snapped. I know it sounds like I'm being more harsh on him then I am on Noah. Well that's kind of true. The truth is I hate Chad and I always will and Noah is great at what he does. I never have to ask for a thing.

"Alright yes I can handle it. Give me the list I'll get started." Chad responded. I handed him the list and out the door he went.

A few hours later Chad appeared unfortunately.

"Ms.Noble you have a client. Are you prepared for me to send them in?" Chad asked surprisingly professional.

"I have a client? I don't have a meeting on my calendar but I have a moment so sure send them in." I responded.

He went and got the person.

"Well hello there Ms.Noble.You look just ravishing today, we must stop meeting like this." A familiar voice said. I looked up and could not believe my eyes.

"Hello there, Mr.McCoy correct?" I asked.

"Yes that is correct." He responded.

"Chad leave us, thank you." I said. He left and shut the door looking pissed off.

He looks very attractive. He is in a black suit that hugs him in all of the right ways.He smells amazing also. I was going to toy with him a little seeing as he is here. I sat on the front of my desk.

"So Mr.McCoy, how may I help you today?" I asked.

"What the fuck is his problem? Are you two a thing? He seems quite jealous and angry that I'm here. I'm looking to be published."

"Chad? Oh my god no that would never happen. Even if he is jealous we are not a thing and won't ever be. Anyway you've written a manuscript?" I asked in shock.

"You seem pretty serious about that. Have you two dated before? If so why does he work for you? No I haven't." He continued.

"Chad and I used to date. It was a few years ago and it ended very messy. That's why I seem so angry. He is a temp. My regular assistant is currently out. Hopefully he will be back very soon. Now why are you really here if there is no manuscript?" I prompted.

"Oh that makes sense. Well this is our third meeting so now I must take you out." He said with a seductive smirk.

"Ace did you really just come here to ask me out,but you scheduled an appointment?" I asked.

"Well I wanted to do things right. But yes something about you intrigues me Alice. I want to get to know you better." He said with a smile.

"I must be getting back to work Ace."

"So that's a yes for dinner tonight? I'll pick you up at six then?"

"Okay fine now go so I can get back to work. I can't believe you did this." I said with a smile. He said nothing. He pulled me in for a slight hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll see you tonight." Ace said then left.

Oh my god he could have taken my underwear then.

But he was probing hard about Chad, I wonder why. I mean he doesn't even know me. Is it possible that a guy like that could ever like me?
