Forgot Him
Loraine
“What the hell is going on here!”
Startled, I throw myself against the wall of the hallway, expecting a storm to blow me away at any moment. When I turn around I see no one but Kaylah, the thorn in my side. I sigh with relief, this drama queen surely has something on her sleeve.
Dordrich dropped me off in the parking lot a few minutes ago. Reluctantly I tore myself away from him, his kisses are so addictive. When I finally got out of the car, I walked straight into the elevator. I could hear him chuckle at my back, but didn’t turn around to see. And as I walk to my office, I am confronted with this show from Kaylah.
She stares at me open-mouthed.
“Loraine, since when do you wear such short skirts to work? This is unusual. Something is going on here.” Her drama has now reached the junior staff’s ears and I can see a few peeking through the glass of their room. I roll my eyes and keep walking.
Once in my comfortable chair, I turn to stare out of the glass wall reminiscing about my life a few hours ago. Last night was heavenly, sex with Dordrich is amazing. My eyes glaze over when I think about what we all did yesterday, brazen and insatiable.
And the way he took care of everything. A penthouse as a love nest, a special phone so I don't feel lonely without him. And I plan to use it often, especially since the penthouse gives me something of Dordrich if he's too busy to be there. I pick up the phone and text him.
'I'm keeping you'.
Not even a minute goes by, while I'm still staring at the device I see his message pops up.
‘Always yours, Princess’.
And then she comes back into my room. “Loraine, I demand an explanation. What is going on here? Your behavior is strange. Is Danner dead?”. I want to be mad at her but can't stop this burst of laughter. My stomach hurts, I have to support myself to sit upright. “Did you kill him, then? Because everyone knows how much you hate him. I'm telling you to get ready for a long time in Alcatraz and know that I'm not spending a dime on bailing you out," I hiccup.
“I'm not kidding, Loraine. Your skirt is too short, your face is shiny and your lipstick is worn out. And never before have you let your hair fall so full at your back at the workplace", she sums up. I stare at her in disbelief. “Have you kept a file about my appearance, you fool! Do you know how many times a day I go to the toilet then?”, I bite her.
“On average twice a day to relieve you and once to refresh you,” she replies dryly.
Damn! Does a person still have privacy!!
“Loraine, are you in love? Have you finally had sex?”, she dares to throw in the ring.
That is it!
Telling you, this bitch deserves a beating. But now that we're on the work floor, I'll have to hold back, at least if I don't want a large claim on my pants. “Do I look as much frustrated as you? Do you have nothing to do here but poke your nose in my business?”, I rage to her.
With that I turn around, the conversation is over.
My mood is ruined by this worthless devil. I hear the door close, so she took the hint.
I watch the crowd below me rushing to their destination, there is already a traffic jam on the road. When I've calmed down a bit, I sit back at my desk and go through some documents. As promised, Aziel has completed the investigation into the purchase of the mall for me and I'll be working on that for the first few hours. Here and there I make some notes with my red pen. In general, I am very satisfied with this report, we are getting closer to our goal. My next step is to let Dordrich know about my plans, I don't want to surprise him like it's a sneaky deal.
I want to speak to Aziel, so I press the intercom. Soon I hear his voice. "Loraine".
“Aziel, can we talk about the report? It looks excellent, but there are some items I'd like to explore further. When are you free?". He clears his throat before answering me. “I can be there in an hour. What about lunch together? They haven't seen you in the cafeteria for a long time."
Ahhh, I completely forgot about that. I made a deal for myself to eat in the staff canteen at least once a month to strengthen the bond with my employees. “Great idea, Aziel. Can you come to get me?". “Sure thing”, he responds.
This gives me an idea.
I press another button on my intercom. “Kaylah, can you come here?”. When she stands in front of me I see a grin on her face. She's surely up to something, but I prefer to ignore it. “Kaylah, lunch from all the staff in the cafeteria, on my account. I am so pleased with their performance for this month and want to show my gratitude.”
“Again from your personal account?” she asks superfluously. The glance in my eyes gives her the answer, but she stares back fearless. “I'm in the canteen myself today. Make sure I get my healthy food served. And get an ice-cold Amaretto with it”, I instruct her. “And before you whine that no alcohol is allowed in the workplace, may I remind you that this is a special occasion?!”
She takes some notes but stands still.
“Is there anything else, missy Kaylah? I'm a bit busy and don't want to spoil my mood any further today," I remark with raised eyebrows. She smiles wider now. “You mean I, Kaylah, spoil your mood? Is that what you want to say? Then you are so wrong, dear. Danner has already called twice this morning to ask if you are at work yet.”
The terror on my face betrayed me right away. “It doesn't look like you slept at home last night. And he said you should have stayed with me. Loraine, did you have permission to use me as a cover? If you don't tell me everything in an hour you'll be in big, big trouble with Danner, the tiger. You know he's not kidding when it comes to you. My reaction this morning when I first saw you, was just a trailer, wait for the movie when he arrives here at any time," she still teases me.
Ooohhh Gosh! I had completely forgotten about Danner, my fiancé!
This isn't going to end well, I can feel it at my toes! ..
