The Belle Behind The Mask

"I am sorry guys, you know I can't leave until the boss tells me to plus, things are quite chaotic at the moment but I can rain check till tomorrow and since it's Christmas, it's the perfect reason to celebrate." I shrugged with a smile.

While they seemed happy about the latter, I could see the disappointment in their faces and it hurt me too. While some people said to my face that I won't last up to a month, others simply acted like I didn't exist. Celeste and Caroline were the only two who went out of their way when they weren't even obliged, to be kind to me.  The fact that I didn't have a degree sort of made everyone stay away from me as if I were a plague.  It felt like there was some sort of hierarchy and nobody wanted to mingle with the likes of me.

Honestly, I am surprised that I was even hired in the first place.

"How do you not have the willpower to just strangle him and get away with his murder? On behalf of the staff, we will be entirely grateful for your service" Celeste said

It was a joke that earned a round of laughter from us three.

"I have no idea. I think about doing that and more every damn day" Laughter bubbled out of me.

"Well, I know what I would do to him if I had the chance"  Caroline confessed.

As sinful looking as our boss looks, he's her forbidden apple. Everything about him including his seriousness is appealing and enough to send her to sexville but at the same time, our boss is too hot for her to touch, too complicated to handle, and impossible for someone like her to have. Caroline is unapologetic and won't deny that she's had it hots for him since the first day she walked into his office but the fact remains that Alexander Stone is only as good as an imagination, nothing more.

Chiseled? Check

Caramel blond hair that somehow manages to look wavy and thick all the damn time? Double-check

Sexy crooked smile? Triple check.

Caroline needs to follow a "How to stop falling in love with someone I can not have" guide.

"And don't even get me started on his body. He has a body made for sin. Not that I've seen him naked but with the way his shirts hug his skin, I can tell for a fact that he spends a dedicated time in the gym. How can that Sophia girl part ways with such a demi-god?" Caroline bit her tongue in confusion.

She continued "She literally had paradise and just decided to walk away from it. Did you see her interview with The scoop? God, that crass lady has verbal diarrhea. I mean, it's been two years since she divorced him, so why is she still clingy like jelly?"

"It's funny how one would think you're single not knowing that you actually have a boyfriend while being busy fantasizing about the boss behind closed doors"

I switched looks from Celeste to Caroline.

"Before you judge me, a girl can do no wrong if she's just admiring another man asides her boyfriend. It's just admiration and a bit of sexual fantasy and if that is a crime, then half of the ladies working here must be thrown in jail. Don't tell me he's not piqued your interest at least once, Diana" Caroline's eyes are fixed on me.

"The fact that you think so, makes me believe you don't know me that well. Yeah he's all that but I have a boyfriend and he is more than that in my eyes" I said, with a shrug.

"That beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder bullshit. Whether or not I have a boyfriend, I just want to..."

"Wrap your mouth around his cock, yeah we know" Celeste finished the sentence with a tease.
