CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

KELSEY'S POV


It's been three weeks and I've been anxiously waiting for the company's answer since I applied for the job.

I just hope that I get a response soon.
I'm literally freaking out just thinking about it.

I needed a girl's night out to clear my thoughts and get a positive vibe so I decided to call my best friend Sasha.

She immediately picked up on the first ring.

"Hey girl friend what's up?" She said cheerfully.

I sighed deeply.

" I keep freaking out if I get rejected then? The mere just drives me insane. I can't continue working for that prick of a boss."

Sasha laughed from the other end.

"Relax Kelsey I'm confident that you'll get the job one hundred percent. And about your boss you're definitely right he once made a move on me and squeezed my ass. Oh gosh I slapped him across the face and caught him off guard."

She burst out laughing.

" I swear you should have seen his dumbfounded face. Anyway back to the point, what you need to relax your thoughts is a girl's night out."

" Okay" I replied coolly.

" Yes we could go to a bar, buy some amazing cocktails, get drunk,dance and have fun."

I frowned.

After that incident I can't go to the bar again. It only brings back memories of that jerk. The mere thought of him makes me totally furious but my body disagrees with me each time.

I haven't even told Sasha about that awful night.

"Hello?"

Oh no I totally forgot about Sasha.

"I'm sorry I zoned out but I can't go to the bar under any circumstances."

"Hmm why not?" Sasha asked curiously.

" Umm I had a bad memory. I met this jerk. He tried to make a move on me even if I told him to go away."

She sighs quitely.

" Kelsey you shouldn't let some random douchebag ruin your mood just because of one bad night. We will definitely go to the bar and have a good time trust me."

I rolled my eyes.

Thai girl wasn't going to give back.

"Okay we'll go at the bar you're right I shouldn't let one stupid guy ruin my night."

She clapped from the other end.

" That's the spirit Kel umm I have a meeting in the next five minutes I'll text you the details later."

" Alright bye."

The call got disconnected and I slumped on the bed.

Maybe a few drinks at the bar won't kill me Sasha is right.
I opened my laptop and began to work on my pending assignments. I needed to wrap everything up at work and get my complete salary.

If you wanna be at the top and make a success. You'll have to become the boss's mistress and he'll promote you.

That's the kind of jerk he is forcing girls to have sex with him just for a better salary since I refused to fall his charms his bent on making my life at work miserable. So I decided to work at home before I hand in my resignation letter.

Once I was done with work I decided to look for something to wear in my closet.
I was literally obsessed with black and something shiny.

So I decided to wear a black lace dress that left my back bare. The material clung to my body sinfully once I tried it on and checked myself in the full length mirror.

It was okay but it was just over the top.
And besides it was too sexy.
So I settled for the dress that Sasha got me on my birthday last year.

It was a red dress that reached my thighs.
It was perfect and I would just have to pair it off with my back heels.

Later that night Sasha texted me the details and I went to meet her.

I decide to let loose and just enjoy myself.
Twenty minutes later I met Sasha at the bar.

She was sitting on one of the bar stools talking to a cute guy.

Our eyes locked and she waved at me.

I smiled and walked towards her.


"Leo met my best friend Kelsey, she's a fashion designer."

I gave Leo a small smile.

And we shook hands.

Oh I had a feeling that Sasha was trying to hook me up again.

"Nice to meet you Kelsey, you look beautiful in that dress."

I blushed.

"Thank you" I said genuinely.

At the end of the night we had some drinks and I learnt that Leo was a manager at one of the major banks in the States.

In case I didn't get the job at the company I applied to, Leo's was offering a position of a cashier at the bank he was currently working for.

It wasn't a bad idea but I told him that I would get back to him.
Since I needed a new job soon so there was a possibility and I wasn't going to waste it. So if things didn't go as planned I would contact Leo and let him know.

We exchanged numbers at the end of the night. He was a very good guy but he wasn't my type.

The next day I received an email from the company and to my surprise I had gotten the job plus it also paid well.
So it gave me enough time to prep up and change my current wardrobe and shop for new pieces since it was a very reputable company I wanted to look my best.
And I was going to be working with my boss 24/7 so I needed to be well dressed.

The next morning I dressed for success and got ready for work. I decided to wear a white blouse that had cuffs at the end of the sleeves and paired off my look with a
black pencil skirt that reached my knees.

Once I arrived there the kind receptionist gave me a kind smile and showed me to the boss's office. I learnt that her name is Ashley.

I needed to formally introduce myself to the boss. Ashley gave me a heads up that the boss loves hot steaming black coffee every morning.

So I made some coffee and went to his office.

I knocked on the door softly.

"Come in" a voice answered from inside.


MARCUS'S POV


My thoughts tended to wander to that night where I lost control because of her.
That mysterious woman that brought back memories of the least person I wanted to remember.

Chelsea.

The prettiest flower I'd ever seen.
Jane's voice spoke softly on the speaker quickly interrupting my thoughts.

"Sir the new recruit is coming to the office in a few minutes."

"Alright thanks Jane."

A few minutes later I heard a knock on the door. I'm sure it must be my new secretary.

"Come in" I responded coolly.
When the door opened I turned around my swivel chair and faced her. When she froze and her face went pale.

The mug dropped to the floor and shattered.

Oh no.

It was her.
