A Secretary's Vendetta I Quit!
Aurora POV:I sat at my desk and wondered why I’d ever taken this secretarial job in the first place. My boss, Jacobsville, Texas, attorney Michael Angelo, didn’t appreciate me at all. I'd only been trying to keep him from dying of a premature heart attack by changing his regular coffee to decaf. For my efforts, I had been on the receiving end of the worst insult I could ever imagine, and from the one man in the world that I loved above all others. I knew my co-workers were as upset as I was. But nothing made up for the fact that Michael Angelo hated me. I looked down at my voluptuous body in a purple dress with a high neckline, frilly bodice and straight skirt, vaguely aware that the style did nothing for me. I was wearing it today, of all days, when Michael gave me that disapproving scrutiny. My mother had tried to tell me, gently, that frills and big bosoms didn’t match, Worse, a tight-fitting skirt only emphasized those wide hips.I'd been trying so hard to lose weight. I’d given
A Secretary's Vendetta You are Fired
Michael POV:I stared at the mirror in the rest room, my lazy blue eyes hid behind the glasses, my lean face still looked laced with anger, I was trying to keep it check before I stepped out again. My dark wavy hair slightly mussed in back from my restless stless fingers combing through it.Aurora shouldered into her long swey shirt jacket just as I walked into the hall. Like she promised earlier, she had waited till the end of the day. She was the only one left in the office, she was still clearing her desk and look about done.I stopped and glared at her. “I hope I’ve made my point about the coffee,” I said bluntly. “Have you reconsidered your impulsive resignation, by the way?”She stared at me with her sad eyes and gulped nervously. "No, I haven't. I will be leaving as soon as possible" "You aren't in control of your emotions Miss Hardy, I'm willing to give you till tommorrow morning to think it through overnight. You are behaving like a child throwing a tantrum" I replied “Yo
A Secretary's Vendetta Sad People
Aurora POV:Few kilometers away, I remembered I had forgotten the Cake. I’d promised to drop it by the Hart ranch for Tess, but it was still sitting in Michael's office. I no longer had a key, and I'd rather have died than phoned him to let ne in to get the cake. He’d think it was a ruse, so that I could see him again.I stopped by the bakery instead and to get another cake. I approached the lady behind the counter."Good evening Ma'am" I said"Evening""What may I get You" "A Cake?" I replied "Is it for an occasion? Most of the cakes available are blank" She said Luckily for me Tess didn’t want a message on it, just the cake. "That's fine" I said"I will have that one" I added whilst pointing to the pink one I stopped by the Hart ranch property at Tess and Cag’s enormous house and handed it off to their housekeeper, with a beaming smile that never reached my eyes. I finally headed home. I was on the verge of tears on my way home. I parked at one side of the road and calmed mys
A Secretary's Vendetta You are Hired
Aurora POV:I woke up with a summat stuck to my gut. I remember sleeping with a rejuvenated hope, but the hope was no where to be found again. I was in touch with reality again. I had told myself I could secure a job easily,Actually, that wasn’t quite the case. Jacobsville was a small town. There weren’t that many office jobs available, because most people lucky enough to get them worked in the same place until they retired.There was one hope though. Leo Jordan, an extremely wealthy local rancher who had a real war going with Mr. Angelo. Rumors says he couldn’t keep a secretary neither, perhaps worse than Mr. Angelo. He was hard, cold, and demanding. At least one secretary leave his employment in tears every month. His wife had left him for an unknown reason, along with their young son, and filed for divorce. He consistently refused to sign the final papers, which had led to a furious confrontation between himself and Mr.Angelo. The fistfight escalated until Chief of Police Cash Gri
A Secretary's Vendetta White Hart Lane
Aurora POV:I drove towards south Jacobsville, in the direction of the biggest and the most beautiful house in the town.Leo Jordan lived in a huge white Victorian house. Local gossip said that his wife had wanted it since she was a child, living in a poor section of Jacobsville. She’d married Leo right out of high school and started to college after the honeymoon was over. College had opened a new world to her eyes. She’d decided to study law, and Leo stood by and let her have her way, sure that she’d never want to leave Jacobsville. But she got a taste of city life when she went on to law school in San Antonio, and she decided to work in a law firm there.Nobody understood exactly why they decided to have a child in her first year as a practicing estate lawyer.

A Secretary's Vendetta A New Life
Aurora POV:The first few days out of Michael’s office were the hardest. I couldn’t forget how I’d looked forward to every new day, to each morning’s first glimpse of my handsome boss. My heart would jumped at the sound of his voice. My tingled all over when, rarely, he smiled at me when she finished a difficult task for him. Even the scent of a certain masculine cologne could trigger memories, because he always smelled of it. I felt deprived because my life would no longer contain even a casual glimpse of him. I was working for his worst enemy. Not much likelihood that Michael would turn up on Leo Jordan ranch in the near or distant future.But as week passed, I slowly fell into a routine at the ranch. The spreadsheet programs were easy to use once I learned what the various terms meant, like weight gain ratio and birth weight. I learned that Leo used artificial insemination to improve the genetics of his cattle, selecting for low birth weight, good weight gain ratios for offsprin
A Secretary's Vendetta A Dark Cloud at the Post Office
Michael POV: The past few weeks have been hellish and not just for me, my workers too. I just fired my secretary few hours ago. The sixth to be fired in many as 8 weeks. The latest one to be fired for arranging my files in non alphabetical order, it sounded petty, but Aurora understood that much. Aurora! I didn't know I would miss her this much. She had been little light in world I never noticed, I felt submerged in total darkness. Her overwhelming desire to make sure everything was perfectly done for me and her desperate attempts to make me smile or smile when I just gave her an undeserved tongue lashing. I couldn't get her to come back and I transferred the agression to my other employees. I flip at every error and thundered at the most petty mistake. I thought I was going to have to accept she was gone with time, but the anger got worse everyday. Like every other day, I was leaving the office a bit later than others. I closed my office and headed, I saw by chance the Letter I to
A Secretary's Vendetta Laurel House
Michael POV:I was back at home, where the laughter happens and I can rest at the end of the day. From the street it is bricks and mortar topped with tile, the same as any other mansion. If you step inside you'll feel it's so different, a place where the lungs choose to fill a little deeper and the heart beat a little steadier. I had purchased it for a fortune.On the verandah were plants that reached up past the cedar railings and branched out gleefully into the sun, enjoying their fair-weather home. As was typical Gian, the pots were works of art in their own right. Every one was a pleasing shape and glazed in the same vibrant shades of blue I accented my home with. Some were like snapshots of midnight and ribbed like waves. Others were classically smooth, widening to a rimmed top, brilliant cyan glaze clinging to them like animal skin and dripping down the sides to add just the right dash of chaos. Against the deep browns of the wood, these simple pots were stunning just as I knew
