(The dinner from hell part 2)‘Good evening Mr Jacob. Meet my assistant Kathleen Hunter'.‘Oh she's more than just an assistant alright. It's a wonder she's able to last this long considering your strict work ethics'.‘She's very good at what she does sir'.Kathleen breathed a sigh of relief being introduced as Grayson's personal assistant and not just his woman of the night as she feared earlier. She took a deep breath again and used this opportunity to glance around the long buffet table where almost everyone was of high status and calibre, it definitely made her feel out of place.Grayson however conversed with the guests like it was a normal thing to do, these were his people—posh people, pristine people, eloquent and classy people and then there was her—an ex teen convict who lived in the slums of new York trying to make a name for herself. Her confidence went down the drain just seeing the people of luxury, knowing she couldn't be where they were no matter how she dreamt.Grayso
(I have a date)Kathleen screamed the next morning waking up to a late alarm clock. It was spoiled and she forgot to change the batteries the night before, now she had overslept and an hour late for work.‘He's going to kill me...he's going to kill me'. She sang in frustration as she managed to put on an outfit without bothering to take a shower or brush her teeth—there was makeup wipes and mouthwash in her bathroom which was a quicker substitute, all this wouldn't spare her from the grave cause her boss was so going to bury her.‘Kathy!!'. She heard Mr Garrison's voice and banging on her door which made her scream silently as things were for sure not going to plan. She just had a week left, just a week left until she got a huge fat paycheck and now she was a at a risk of losing that same job .‘Hey Mr Gary'. She put on a wide grin as she opened the door fully dressed and ready to bolt as soon as she had the opportunity.He brought his hand forward, ‘Where's the money you owe me Kathy
(Tired!!)‘What do you mean you have a date??'.‘Well... it's when two people who want to get to—'‘I asked a rhetorical question!!'. He yelled and she gulped hard, unable to understand why he was so pissed off about this. All she wanted was to not work overtime because she had a date and now he was pissed, but she wasn't backing down, she just wouldn't break Jacob's heart again.‘I can take the suits to the drycleaners first thing tomorrow sir'. She offered.‘Who's the guy?'.‘Pardon??'.‘Who are you going out on a date with?', he asked, ‘Jacob Hempstead??'.She frowned subtly, ‘I don't see how it's relevant but yes—he asked me out on a date and I said yes'.Grayson was trying his best to conceal his disdain, he hated the feeling of rage pumping through his veins, hated how bothered he was that she was leaving her job to go out with some colleague of hers, ‘Okay then. Do you want a pink slip??'.‘Sir??'.’I asked if you wanted a pink slip tomorrow Miss Turner'.‘No sir'‘What time is
(A big mistake)‘I think I made a big mistake'. Kathleen muttered under her breath as she finally freed herself from Gloria's arms, right after crying for an hour and half. She had a throbbing headache, her neck hurt and her eyes were as sore as ever—this was the end of it all, she lost the job of a lifetime and was down to being the stark broke Kathleen again....It was only a matter of time before Mr Garrison started bothering her again for the new rent payment.‘You didn't make a mistake', Gloria stroked her best friend's hair, ‘You broke down and you did what any rational person would do. You lashed out and you let your boss know about the unfair treatment he's putting you through—i'm sorry you're going through this Kathy'.Kathleen sniffled, tucking her hair behind her ear, ‘Like it's just not fair. He does these kind of things, trying to sabotage me and i just don't know why'.‘Maybe he's jealous'‘He can't be jealous'‘Well we can't rule out that possibility'‘What possibility L
(My boss is nice now?)Charisse Watson waved her ex boyfriend the bottle of champagne with a smile on her face, ‘There's no saying we can't share a friendly drink can we??'.Grayson frowned deeply, all he wanted to do at the moment was get Kathleen a box of chocolates and so immersed in the business of his personal assistant that he totally forgot about his own ex girlfriend, ‘I'm busy as of the moment Charisse. I can't do this right now'.He tried to leave but then she placed a hand on his chest stopping him, ‘Come on Gray. We need to talk'.‘About what??'‘About us'‘There is no us Charisse. You made that clear a month ago'.She sighed, ’Look I was in my feelings and i—'‘You think I didn't see you with your best friend kissing right outside Portobello's??'.‘So what you're spying on me now??'. Her brows furrowed.Grayson looked down at his watch and it was already too late to do anything, all he had to do was wait for the inevitable and hoped Kathleen would come back to work tomorr
(My boss is nice now?? Part 2)‘Maybe he just feels sorry'. Ophelia shrugged after biting her sandwich hours later in the employee's lounge.Kathleen's eyes darted towards the door and smiled nervously seeing the other staffs look at her awkwardly, then she sighed, ‘Yeah I don't think he feels sorry. There's just something off about him and even jac confirmed it....Mr Grayson isn't a nice man at all'.‘Speaking of Jac', Ophelia chuckled, ‘Heard you're going out on another date tonight...also heard you both had a steamy sesh last night'.Kathleen frowned, certainly Jacob wouldn't tell Ophelia what happened between them did he, ‘Where did you hear that?'.‘You're working here honey', Ophelia responded, ’Rumors fly like cherry blossoms in Autumn season. I'm glad you're finally with the man of your dreams'.‘Yeah', Kathleen's smile was wrinkled, ‘You could say something like that'.Jacob was a nice man and all. He made her feel happy and she was comfortable around him, him being the man o
(She's my assistant)Grayson got back from work to his girlfriend on the couch, wearing his robe wondering who let her in but then he remembered how she always had a passcode—making a mental note to change the locks, he took off his jacket and Charisse rushed to take it before it was left on the arm of the couch. She then proceeded to kiss him but noticed how he pulled away slightly, her lips landed at the corner of his lips instead.A scowl appeared on her face, ‘Is something wrong??'.‘Why would you think that?'. He asked carefully avoiding her piercing gaze as he took off his tie.‘For one you don't want to kiss me'.‘I'm tired Charisse'‘That doesn't stop you from kissing your girlfriend'.‘I haven't had a shower'She scoffed, ’Is something wrong?? You don't want to kiss me, you don't look happy to see me and most of all....I heard you gave my chocolates to some bitch'.‘She's my assistant'. Grayson muttered as he certainly wasn't in the mood for an argument, time and time again s
(She's my assistant part 2)The last thing Kathleen expected to know was that her boss had a girlfriend. Charisse Watson, she was tall and blonde with nice blue eyes and amazing legs—she had on a chanel two-piece and red bottoms which Kathleen was sure were the real deal, something about Charisse but made her feel insecure immediately.She felt a hard lump in her throat as she dropped the icepack on the table and proceeded to leave immediately before something catastrophic happened. She was embarrassed to say the least, finding out her boss had a girlfriend made her uncomfortable and she felt worse knowing he probably cheated on her with their one night escapade.‘Oh God'. She raked her hands through her hair in frustration. If Grayson cheated on Charisse with her then she was no different from the other women she despised, she was a lot of things and a homewrecker was certainly not one of them.Charisse frowned as she glared at her boyfriend whom she walked in on getting his neck tou
