(Austin's POV)
"Oh my god" he gasped looking over at us and we instantly pulled apart...
"Mr. Sawyer" I said clearing my throat.
"What was that?" he questioned pointing to us both.
"It doesn't involve you so don't concern yourself with it" I said and Mia looked down at her hands nervously.
"Actually it does, because you're having sexual relations with your assistant" he said "That's against her contract and I damn well know it's against yours"
"I own this company" I snorted and he crossed his arms "You work for me"
"I can overrule your position, because of your voluntary actions towards her" he said looking over to her.
"You can try to do that, but I doubt you'll get far with it" I said and he chuckled.
"Oh trust me, I will" he said to me "But I honestly didn't think you would do such a thing Mia" he said to her.
"I...I...-" she stuttered.
"Cat got your tongue?" he questioned "You don't know what to say now, do you?"
"Sawyer leave her alone" I said and he rolled his eyes.
"No, because I know she feels embarrassed" he said "Now that someone knows her little secret. It all makes sense now, you slept with your boss-"
"I didn't sleep with him" she spoke.
"You had to do something to get this job" he stated throwing his hands in the air to further make his point.
"I didn't do anything" she said.
"Really!?" he yelled "You're a fucking liar"
"Sawyer!" I yelled "Get the hell out of my office"
"No! You're risking your own job over this stupid whore of an assistant you have" he yelled.
"Don't you dare talk about her like that!" I yelled and he stepped to me.
"I can say whatever I want about her" he said angrily "And you're wrong for defending her"
"I'm wrong? Really?" I questioned hoping I heard him incorrectly.
"You and your shitty assistant are wrong!" he yelled before I punched him in the face starting a fight between us two.
"Stop!" Mia yelled pulling at my arm while Sawyer continously threw punches at me. Tumbling across the floor throwing punches back and forth.
I reached down to him grabbing him by his collar, throwing punches left and right. He then pushed me back into my own desk to get me off of him. I weakly stood up grabbing him and throwing him onto the desk punching him in his face. The blood began to run down from his nose and lip.
"Austin, stop!" she yelled and for some odd reason I froze at the sound of her voice.
She pulled me off of him and he threw his last punch. Missing me completely, but hitting her directly in the face.
Instantly she covered her face with her hands and I pressed the button on my desk that alerts the security of this building.
Sawyer saw me press it, so he decided to run off before they got up to the room. I turned to her and she began to cry.
He hit her really hard and I know it probably hurt. I went over to her and she backed away from me.
I pulled her into my arms, but she nudged me off. I attempted to do the same thing, but she shoved me and screamed.
"Mia" I sighed and she sobbed as I could now see the blood seeping through her fingers "Let me see" I said touching her hand.
"No" she said going over to the door and opening it. I walked up behind her and closed the door before she could get out.
"Let me see!" I said angrily and she pulled her hands away slowly. It wasn't that bad, her nose was bleeding though. I tilted her head back pulling her over to my desk and handing her some tissue.
"I don't think your nose is broken" I said receiving no response from her. She turned around and quickly walked out of my office before I could say anything.
*Later That Day*
(Your POV)
My nose stopped bleeding less than an hour ago and since then I've been editing this huge manuscript that was sent to me by the Sales & Marketing Department.
I haven't been back into his office since then and he hasn't come to mine. I couldn't believe half of the things Sawyer said to me. I mean he's always been really hard on me, but I thought he was doing that to help me. I didn't think he thought of me that way.
Austin of course, defended me and got super angry when he said those things about me. Then he punched him and all of that lead to this huge fight resulting in me getting punched in the face.
I used the wet tissue to wipe the dried blood from underneath of my nose. I then sent the edited copy back to the S&M Department before checking my email. There was one unread email and it was from my boss as usual.
From: Mr. Mahone
To: Ms. Claire
Subject: The Dispute In My Office
I am really sorry that you got hurt in the careless fight between me and Mr. Sawyer. As of right now he is nowhere to be found in this building, but he is and will be fired when he returns.
Besides that I honestly hope you're okay.
**
From: Ms. Claire
To: Mr. Mahone
Subject: That Won't Be Necessary.
Mr. Mahone it pleases me to know how concerned you are, but I don't think any of those actions will be necessary.
Due to the events that took place in your office, I here by resign from my position as your assistant.
I will pack my things. Document the last few manuscripts and reports. Then I will take my things and leave.
**
I sighed and pressed send before I stood up beginning to pack up my stuff. Before I could even get started with that there was a knock at my door. I quickly walked over and opened it to be pushed back into my office.
He closed the door behind him locking it. Then he turned around looking at me.
"You're going to quit?" he asked.
"Yes" I answered "I'm s-"
"Don't you dare tell me you're sorry!" he yelled "You're leaving me, because of him?"
"No, it's not like that" I answered.
"Then what is it like!?" he yelled "You didn't bring it up until after that happened"
"I don't want to come between you and your job" I said honestly and he walked over to me.
"You're not coming between me and my job" he said.
"I'm just a distraction to you and if I stay here this situation will just get worse" I said and he slammed his lips onto mine.
"It won't get worse" he said pulling away and resting his forehead against mine "Please don't leave me"
"Why?" I asked staring up into his eyes that were now green and hazel mixed together. He cupped both of my cheeks before he spoke.
"Because I need you here" he said as his minty breath trickled across my lips.
"You don't need me" I said and he pressed his lips to mine for the second time.
"I do" he said pulling away once again "I don't want you to go"
"I have to" I said.
"No you don't" he said frustratedly.
"Yes" I said.
"No" he spoke directly after me.
"Yes"
"No" he groaned looking up making direct eye contact with me "I want you here"
"Why do you want me here?" I asked.
"Because I really like you and I don't want to lose you over this mess" he said staring at me apparently waiting for my response.
"I really like you too" I said and he exhaled because he was relieved? I guess.
"Then stay with me" he breathed kissing my lips slowly afterwards.
"I'm not having a relationship with my boss. You know what everyone else would think if they found out" I said and he frowned.
"I don't care what they think, I only care about you" he said and I blushed at the sound of his words.
"What do you want from me?" I questioned not understanding his reasoning.
"I don't want anything from you" he sighed "I just want you"
"If you want me, then I can't work here anymore"
"Okay" he said in a saddened and despirited tone pulling me closer. Then pushing his plump lips to mine putting every emotion he had into it. I put both of my hands on the back of his arms while his hands rested on my waist.
The slow, but passionate kiss ended after a couple of minutes.
He then pulled me closer until our body's were tightly pressed together. I laid my head on his chest, he wrapped his arms around me and we stood there quietly in each others embrace...
