It was still dark when Jasmine dragged herself out of the warm confines of her bed, cursing her best friend under her breath. She had had too much to drink last night and had an early start at wok this morning but Sammi had insisted on making the most of the weekend. She should have gone home way earlier then she did but Sammi is so convincing and she didn't feel comfortable leaving her friend alone.
She showered quickly and threw her uniform on, pulled her long black hair into braid and quickly put some foundation on. She knew she wasn't as stunning as Sammi but she didn't need to put much makeup either. Sammi was 5ft, slim hips, more than ample chest, tiny waist, legs models would die for, she had long strawberry blonde hair, wide baby blue eyes and full lips; Jasmine was slightly taller than Sammi, not so slim in the hips but she had a tiny waist but wasn't as blessed in the chest as her friend. Sammi was always tanned to perfect & Jasmine tried to tan but only ever achieved tomato coloured skin, Jasmine had long black silky hair down to the top of her pants, her eyes were a vivid green surrounded thick black eye lashes and plump pink lips. As she opened her bedroom door she was hit with the delicious sent of freshly cooked waffles and bacon, that was one of the advantages of living with your best friend (who never slept).
"Good Morning sunshine, my don't we look stunning in our uniform today." Sammi radiated happiness. "No need to be a smart ass Sam, god I don't know how we aren't whale size yet, thank for the breakfast. Is your latest Mr. yummy still in bed or have you booted him already" Sammi always brought home some unbelievingly good looking man when we went out. It was like they couldn't say no to her.
Sammi giggled and blushed " he is still sound asleep, hope we didn't keep you up too late. You know you could always bring your own Mr. Yummy home when we go out."
Jasmine pointedly looked at her watch, " Love to get grilled about my no existent love life but I am late for work, talk to you later" She so didn't want to have another conversation about her lack of experience with men and quickly shut the door before Sammi could respond.
She was actually running late, not that was unusual for her but it meant she had to run for the bus. luckily her boss wasn't due in for a few hours, working in a large law firm had its perks but travelling to and from the city every day was getting to be an inconvenience. It was only an hour's tip on the bus but it always seemed so much longer and she never managed to get a seat. She hear the driver call out her stop and made her way to the front of the bus to exist only getting groped once thank god. It was only a 5 minute walk to her office from the bus stop and she wasn't running as late as she thought so she didn't have to sprint there. As she walked in the receptionist looked up and smiled and waved her over. Louise was a nice enough girl, not to smart and always gossiping but she wasn't bitchy about it.
"Hi Louise, what's up? You look nice today, the Max isn't in yet is he?" She new the answer would be no, her boss was never in before 11. " No and I don't think he will be in, the CEO is here and several people have walked out this morning not looking very pleased. You better get up to your office quickly, he hasn't called for you yet but it won't take long before he does." " Oh really, thanks for the heads up. I have been here 5 years and I don't think I have ever seen the CEO or even spoken to him on the phone, what's he like?" She had heard rumours around the office that several staff members had been taking cash under the desk from clients but she didn't know who.
"Well I only managed a brief glimpse as he hoped in the elevator with his entourage but damn he filled out his expensive looking suit well, I wouldn't mind being stuck in a room with him." She gave a sly wink as she finished.
Before Jasmine could ask any more questions the front desk phone started to ring and Louise sat back down to answer it. Jasmine waved goodbye and headed toward the elevator, she had the feeling today was going to be long, stressful and interesting. She only had to go up 3 floors, she could have used the stairs but her legs were still killing her from all the dancing she had done with Sammi the night before. The elevator felt like it was moving at snail speed and the standard elevator music made it worse. Finally she was at her floor, the doors creaked as they opened, as she stepped out she ran straight into Jason the junior on their floor. She picked up her documents she had been carrying and turned to apologize to him but the elevator doors had already shut. 'Wow he was in a hurry, that must mean the CEO is on this floor already, I wonder if I can sneak into my office without being noticed.' She headed straight for her office, it was only around 2 corners from the elevator. She did notice it was unusually quite on her floor, although that was to be expected there was only 5 people on her floor and her boss was one and by what Louise said he wasn't coming into or anytime soon and she assumed Jason was just let go; so that only left Leea and Mr Perkinson ( she didn't know his first name and he never left his office). As she reached he office door she noticed that the door was already open and the light was on. 'Shit, not a good sign. Just breath it might be okay, I can't really afford to lose this job' She took a deep breath and walked, she didn't look to see who was in her office she walked straight to her desk to sit down and then looked across her desk to see who was sitting on her sofa. Her eyes were met the one of the most delicious sights she had laid her eyes on. He looked like a Greek god sitting there in a perfectly tailored Brioni suit. He had an olive complexion, she could tell he was muscled under the suit & tried her best not to picture him without it on, he had a slight shadow on his chin, which defined his strong jaw line; thick black hair that looked like he never had to brush it and steal blue eyes, which to her embarrassment she realised where giving her the once over. She needed to stop looking at him, but she couldn't take her eyes off him. Her throat was suddenly dry and her skin felt like it was on fire.
" Good Morning Ms Sirois, nice of you to finally join us. I was unaware I was paying staff to sleep in these days." He is eyes glinted devilishly, as he casually looked at her, he knew he was making her feel uncomfortable and he liked it; she looked like a deer caught in head light, albeit a hot deer, a very hot dear. He had been imagining her naked lying on her desk since she walked in and had to adjust how he was sitting several time as it was becoming painfully uncomfortable. He would have to keep this short or he would cross that line between employers and employees. She had blushed deeply in response to his comment and her lips parted and her tongue darted out to wet them slightly. Good she is going to drive me crazy. Jasmine gathered her wits, she was not going to be pushed around be this man, she didn't care if he was the CEO. He had never come into the office before and she had been working late for 5 years now, so she was a little late in the morning, she felt she was a little entitled to it.
"Good Morning Sir, it's nice to finally meet you. How can I help you this morning? I am quite busy and really need to get stuck into my files or I will be working late again." She was one of their best employees and she had squeaky clean record, so he couldn't fire her not without opening himself up to a lawsuit & she would fight if she had to.
Tristan smiled, he was impressed to see that she had a fiery spirit, he didn't like delaying with the airheads like the receptionist downstairs. "Ms. Sirois we have recently had a few unexpected openings and will be looking to fill these quite quickly. I have been through your case record and your statistics show you are quite talented. We will be looking at instating you as the senior associate of this floor."
She hadn't expected that, she would have thought Leea or Mr. Perkinson would have been the next to be promoted to senior associate. " Um thank you sir," She couldn't wait to get home and tell Sammi.
" You will be moving into Max's old office and I will have your new contracts sent to you tomorrow for you to sign. Your salary will increase as of next week and your company car will be available as of next week. If you have any questions after you have read through your new contracts please have a meeting set up with my PA Olivia." He need to get out of her office he was finding it harder and harder tho think straight, She smelled delicious like vanilla and raspberry and all he could think about was find out if she tasted like she smelled. He bet that her hair was soft as silk and would look sexy as hell splayed about her as she lay on her desk in nothing but those little red heels she was wearing. He was thankfully he was wearing his suit jacket, and stood up and re adjusted his belt and jacket. " It was nice to finally meet you Ms. Sirois, I have a feeling we will be seeing each other again soon."
Jasmine was a little shocked that he was leaving so abruptly but she really wanted to call Sammi and tell her about the exciting news and she really need to go to the bathroom and cool off. No man had ever had this kind of effect on her but she was pretty sure that she would have to throw her underwear as it was soaked just form him being in the same room as her. She moved to shake his hand and as she go closer she could feel the heat radiating from him. She held out her hand waiting for him to reciprocate, as their hands touched she felt a as though her legs had turned to jelly and she so desperately wanted him to lean down and kiss her. All too soon he withdrew his hand and exited her office. It took her a couple of minutes for her hear to stop racing and her breathing to return to normal. She felt stupid for reacting that way to a man she had never met before, she didn't even know his name and he only used her last name but she knew he would fill her dreams that night.
Tristan made it back to his own office without having to stop and make meaningless conversation he nodded to his PA and his way past he desk and closed his door as quickly as possible. He needed to unzip his pants as they were still painfully tight, he could seem to shake the mental image of her spread out over her desk begging for him. He knew he needed to have a taste but he wasn't quite sure how to get her meet in a social setting. He knew from office records she rarely attended office functions, he would need to have a look through the social media websites and see if she was any of those.
