My height has affected everything in my life ever since I was younger. Even when I was five I was shorter than the average child, now I'm smaller than the average adult.
I don't have any friends and it's been mainly me by myself most of the time. I walk on my own.
I'm not confident , I'm really smart but also naive. My mother gave me the nickname bee because of how small I am compared to everyone else in the family.I'm five feet tall and 25 years old. I work at a big corporation and receive a lot of payment working there.
I guess the two goofballs I work with I consider them as associates or acquaintances.
This big company I work at is called Wood incorporated.Named after the founder John Wood Father of Grant Wood and Cade Wood , Cade is my boss but I've never seen him before, because Grant was the one to hire me. His name gave me chills everytime.
I never met him or seen his face but I knew he was now the owner of Wood Corporation and something just told me he was indeed a handsome asshole.
I stretched out as I went into the bathroom of my home and my adopted brother was already in he was Caucasian while I was mixed with caucasian and african american and my hair was very long and curly and I glared at him with my hazel eyes he smirked while shirtless and looked down at me.
"Good morning my elder sister." Colt teased me, towering over me at 5'7.
"Good morning my favorite pain in the ass." I remarked.
I was only like this with him and he laughed.
"I can't take you seriously!Your just so small. "He chuckled.
I rolled my eyes he's only 21 and here I stand beneath him at 25.
I just ignored him and went off to get ready for work.I wore a pencil skirt with heels. a scarf with a button down blouse. I felt Colt's eyes on me. I ignored him as I always did and went off to work without saying goodbye.
*******My breathing was normal and I felt calm working in my own office with no one to interrupt. But my thoughts were cut short when the two goofballs entered. One was extremely gay.
I mean literally not to be rude. This gay fellow was James. The other goofball of mine is Lily. She sleeps with my supervisor. Both of these goofballs are Asian.
"Oh baby how I missed you, you look stunning, your hair, those shoes I want them , your eyes I wanna take them!" He exclaimed hugging my small fragile body.
I just smiled not knowing how to reply back and Lily frowned.
"What about me? I can dress can I?"
She questioned."Ugh you dress like a whore that's far from cute." He scuffed.
They went back and forth disrupting the peace and quiet there once was.I walked out of my office and I was bumped into so hard I almost fell but was caught by the same person who bumped into me.
"I apologize I couldn't even see you." He looked down at me.This guy was too close in my personal space. My muscles tensed from my anxiety as his hand was directly on the lower part of my spine.
"I-it's fine." I stuttered
He smiled and finally let me go.
Honestly I liked being held close like that. It was my first time being held so closely.He held out his bold, thick hand and i shook it with my small dainty hand. There was a major difference his hand, which was warm ,while mines were frigid.
"I'm Cade Wood."
He spoke like it wasn't anything at all and I realized how much of an important person he was.
My whole facial expression changed.I became wary. I also think he noticed and I had forgotten he was speaking to me.
"I'm V-Valerie Gray."I tried speaking clearly but failed.
My apprehension was getting the best of me and it was worse than usual.But I noticed the grin on his face.
"Don't be afraid to drop by my office... Anytime.."
He smirked while my jaw dropped and he just walked away.Did he just flirt with me or was he being friendly? I couldn't tell I was clueless. Maybe I'm that inexperienced.
But by the stubble and the look in his eye. I knew this would be a long round of lust and trouble.

Out of my hormones and curiosity I went by his office door. I caught my breathe. It was like breathing in cold air. I inhaled taking in my last breathe and walked into his office I found him working. I was shocked the handsome devil did his paperwork.
He was so focused he didn't hear me walk in. Honestly I took him a little more seriously but..He looked up. Mr.Wood looked dead in my soul. I thought I could've died as those blue eyes looked at me like that. Those beckoning blue eyes....A sigh escaped my lips while I was in a daze just from looking at him I started to wonder off deeper into my thoughts. He stood up, in a matter of moments ,he was now in front of me. But of coarse, I was now in a trance of my own thoughts.
I finally was back on track with my thoughts and gasped.
"I-I'm sorry remember-"
He interrupted me."Yea, I know I'm pleased that you came to visit me. As a CEO I thought it would be proper to acquaint myself with my secretary." He remarked.
It was an odd request but I accepted.. But there was a slight disappointment fell upon the pit of my stomach.
