Jarred’s P.O.V

As soon as I slammed the phone down, I regretted my actions. I didn’t mean to get angry on the phone but while I was talking to the accountant about the unusual missing funds that have been happening lately, I glanced over at Abigail sitting across from me. She was scooted deep into the chair. She had her eyes closed and her head rested on the back of the chair. She looked so peaceful snuggled into the leather chair. She brought her drink to her lips to take a sip out of it. Her drink must have been delicious because she let out a soft moan of the warm liquid going down her throat. She then stuck out her tongue to sweep across her lips to get off the access foam on her top lip. When she did that, it sent shivers throughout my whole body. Plus it my little friend very excited because I can feel it pressing against my trousers wanting release. My excitement got the better of me wanting to know what other magic she can do with her tongue. I always wanted to know what it would be like if I had her in any way possible. I had to push away those thoughts because I couldn’t do that to Abigail. She was a really nice girl that I barely knew, plus she was my employee and I couldn’t take advantage of her that way.

I was getting frustrated thinking about Abigail and listening to this incompetent fool over the phone. I just snapped, just wanting the conversation to be done with. I closed my eyes and took in some deep breathes. I placed my hand over my face and dragged it down, hoping to swipe off some the frustrations from me. I opened my eyes and looked at the person sitting across from me. She was no longer lounged back into the leather chair. She was sitting erect in the chair now but for some reason she was looking about in the room. It seems like she was looking for something. Abigail was oblivious to me staring at her and watching her actions. She looked down at her latte and then looked at her wrist to see her watch. Then she brought her drink towards her lips and took a sip out of it. She brought her head up and her eyes were looking directly into mine.

No one talked for awhile, we just stared at each other until she looked away first. She looked like she was sitting there uncomfortably. I think I should apologize for my outburst. I cleared my throat, “Ahem!” That seemed to bring back her attention back to me. I got up from my seat behind my desk and walked towards the front of it. I leaned against the desk with my hands pressed on the hard wood. I stared at the person across from me and said, “Abigail, I want to apologize to you for my outburst earlier while I was on the phone. I didn’t mean to startle you like that.” I stood there for a bit looking at her waiting for a response back. I took one of my hands and raked it through my hair waiting for a reply back.

She took a sip out of her drink again and placed it back on her lap. It seemed that she was pondering on what to say. Then she spoke up and said, “It’s ok Mr. Matthews. You didn’t startle me too much. You looked a little distressed on your phone call, I hope all is well.”

“Yes, everything is alright I hope. Nothing that can be fixed from my staff and I’m glad to know that you’ve accepted my apology.” I said to her.

“Well, there isn’t much to apologize for Mr. Matthews.” Abigail said while standing up. “Well, I’ll let you get back to your pressing matters.” She said while moving closer to the door to leave my office.
