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.
