Surprised
"Maybe I didn't answer the questions to his expectations. It's been three days". Tina, her husband and I are at the bar. We do this every weekend.
I sip my drink looking at everyone having fun. I hate thinking about my lonesome life. Who's to blame? No one but my over protective brother....And me also. Some weird stuff happens in my life it's hard to explain.
I mentally sigh.
"Why would you apply for that position again?" My brother asked frowning sitting beside Tina who's sitting beside me.
"That's what I do best. Don't asked me that again. I'm a grown woman you know".
"Well you still look like a baby to me. Tina I hope you don't have anything to do with this". He sip his drink looking up at her from his glass. Later they both are gonna go home doing crazy stuff, leaving me all alone to my imagination.
"You heard her Daniel. And not every guys are the same".
"His name is Lucifer for godsakes that is enough for me not to trust him. I know you want my sissy to get laid really badly but I sure as hell don't want it to be with some murderous psychopath. Or.. Moreover any at all. Disgusting". He said the last part under his breath before taking another sip.
"Hello people I'm right here". I hold up my hand.
"If he calls you, decline".
"Hell no! You've been looking for wayyy too long". I sigh. They always argue about what I should or should not do, but I just do what I want anyways.
My phone started ringing. How coincidental.
I look at the screen wondering who could be calling me at this time of night. I don't know this number.
"Answer it. It could be him". Tina rushed. I look at D. He only gave me a suspicious look. "At this time?" He asked.
I swallowed, look back at the screen.
I swipe to answer.
"Hello". No one is saying anything. I only hear heavy breathing. "Ahh wrong number". I hang up with a frown.
"Who was that?" Daniel asked. "Wrong number". I alter my frown to a smile. He gave me a skeptical look. "Who did the person asked for?" Tina asked.
"Jennifer". I quickly thought of a name. They both look at my phone then back at me. "That's a shame. I thought it was your job calling". Tina said. Daniel almost choked.
"You say the weirdest things you know that?" Daniel said with a chuckle. She gave him a sexy smile. She stand from her chair.
"And you do the weirdest things". My brother eyes gleamed with self confidence before they both started to kiss each other so smooth I got jealous.
I bet if I do that in front of him he'll freak out.
"I'll be right back guys". I slipped off the seat.
"Hey, where are you going?" He broke from Tina. "Shut up". She giggled turning his face back to hers. I can tell she's tipsy.
"Don't worry big bro. I won't jump off a cliff by accident". Whatever he said after that I don't know. I walked off before I could hear.
If I tell them that it was a mysterious phone call, Tina would be calling the cops already or Daniel would be making phone calls to his brothers from the hood. I wasn't sure who it was, so I don't want to alarm them.
I broke through the crowd. Finally reaching the bathroom I enter. I closed the door leaning onto it.
What if it was?-
The phone started ringing again. My hands started shaking. I look up at the screen. This time it's a different number.
What if it's the same person using a different number?
I walked towards the wall leaning against it. I look at the phone again wondering if I should answer.
My heart jumped when I hear the bathroom flushed. I continued looking at the door. Oh god.
Soon I see a woman exit. I let out a breath that I hadn't realized I was holding.
The woman eyes widen as if frightened. She gave me a suspicious look before walking off.
I leaped a bit, in fright after the phone started ringing again. Seriously, I feel as if I'm gonna have a heart attach if this continues. I bit my lip.
I look at the screen. Hands still shaking. I can feel my heart bouncing on and off my chest, literally.
It's the same number as the second one, but who could be calling me this late? It couldn't be Lucifer. He wouldn't have called me in the night, right?
I rest my thumb on the screen. I slowly swiped it then put the phone at my ear.
This time I said nothing. I want to here a voice, to be certain it's not him.
That silence again. I was about to hang up until I hear shuffling.
"Hello, Ms George?" Said a deep but sexy like voice. Lucifer? I wiped my eyes. "Mr Morningstar...hi". This is surprising.
"Be at my office by seven AM tomorrow". A nervous smile came across my face. I got the job. I would've been excited though, but right now it's just not there. Why would he call me this late anyways? That's just... Unprofessional.
"Ms George?"
"Um I'll be there. Thank you".
"Sure". And with that he hung up. I smile a little but it faded couple seconds later. If that was Lucifer. Who was the first person?
***
I told Tina that I got the job. She got excited, giving herself credit saying that it was the suit I wore. Sometimes I wonder if she hit her head a few times when she was a baby. Because sometimes I swear she's on crack.
My brother however was ok with it. Saying that if Lucifer tried anything I should call him. He said it with a no bullshit tone. He takes no chance when it comes to me.
"Good morning sir".
"Again Ms George, it's Mr Morningstar". I chuckle to myself. I knew he was going to say that. What's wrong with sir anyways?
"I'm sorry". I innocently said. But my lip trying not to giggled. It was the frown he gave me. It doesn't show anything but it just looked a bit funny. I guess I find his seriousness hilarious.
I'm now sitting at his desk looking into his cold eyes. "Here are the list of the things you need to do". He hands me a folder. I took it with a smile and open it.
OK I need to get working now if I'm going to finish this quickly. I have meetings to set up, emails to send etc. I'm so excited. This almost feels like the first time I got hired. Even though back then I was mostly nervous.
"In time you will fully understand what is required of you without me giving you a folder of information".
"I certainly will". I'd feel comfortable if he'd at least smile, but it's better this way. He hadn't shown any sign as if he'd want to sleep with me like my first boss did. I wasn't up to it so he fired me. His excuse to anyone who asked was that I couldn't do my work properly. He meant 'didn't fuck him like he'd want me to do'.
I didn't tell anyone except for Tina. I had to beg her not to say anything to Daniel because he would've flipped. He later found out. It slipped from Tina's mouth while she was drunk. I had to beg Daniel to let it go. He listened to me, or so I thought at first. A month later, it came over the news that he was beaten almost to death. I knew it was Daniel, but I decided not to say anything to him about it. He fucking deserved it. I was one of the best who worked for him.
I also couldn't tell Lucifer. I wouldn't gain anything by saying bad about my former employer. Even though I wouldn't be lying.
"You see that door behind you. That's your office. I suggest you get to work now. There's plenty to do". He looked back on his computer typing. So much attitude. I stopped myself from rolling my eyes.
I stand. I turn around looking at the office door. My name is already on it.
P.A
Christina George
I walked off with the folder in my hand, a smile on my face and also my handbag. I don't care about his seriousness. I got the job.
I opened the door. A big smile appeared on my face when I came face to face with the ambiance of this room. On the desk is a computer. I closed the door, put my handbag with the folder on the desk. Or should I say, on my desk.
There's a couch in here and another chair in front of my desk. Portraits, flower pots. A bathroom. I inhaled deeply.
Chrissy get to work. Admirer the place later. I mean, it isn't very beautiful. It kinda resembles the mood of Lucifer. But hey, I'm not unemployed anymore.
I put my handbag on a hook I see on the wall. I sit at my desk and turn the computer on. I take up the folder and open it.
I frown after I heard giggling. I slowly stand walking towards my door. There's no way a serious person like him would giggle like that. Plus, I'm sure that was a woman. I rest my ear on the door.
"I don't understand why you need a personal assistant when I'm here personally for you". A woman said.
"Work and pleasure don't mix baby girl". Pleasure? I walk to the pull shut window. I'm not inquisitive, just curious.
I pulled it down a bit with my index finger. I gasped in surprise when I saw a woman straddling on Lucifer's lap at his desk. He's smirking at her. His eyes doesn't look that cold, but it also isn't so cheery either.
One of her hand is between both of them, as if...she's trying to set properly. I can't see below her waist.
"You don't need to rush. My new assistant is right next door. Just come by later".
"Its just a quick one. She's busy with work she won't notice". Suddenly Lucifer grabbed her neck, vigorously pulled her closer to his face. His smirk got wider before he dragged her into a disgusting kiss. She moaned while moving up and down on him. I quickly removed my finger.
OK?
Did I just see that? I tightly shut my eyes before peeking again. I removed my finger when my curiosity got confirmed.
That's just disgusting.
I walked back to my chair. They're having sex in his office? That's just...Ugh!
It's none of your fucking business. Let it go and get to work.
***
I rubbed my eyes as they feel a bit burny. I'm almost done just two more emails to go.
There's was a knock at my door.
"Come in!" I approved, focussing on the monitor. I look at the direction of the door that opened. There stood Lucifer with an arced eyebrow.
"Mr Morningstar. You didn't have to knock. You owned the place". I had to think about a whole lot of unnecessary stuff just to get the moaning of the woman out of my fucking head.
He walked in and closed the door.
"Have you checked the time Ms George?" The time? I look at the computer. Oh my god. It's six thirty. I was suppose to leave work by five.
"Oh my". I stand from my chair after I shut the computer down. I take my handbag off the hock.
"You don't need to do over time Ms George. It's not necessary". I'm not gonna tell him that I wasn't watching the time. That is one of the main thing about this job. Time management.
"I understand". I stand in front of him waiting for him to move so I could leave.
"Do you have a car?"
"No I don't". The first car I owned Daniel was the one who bought it four years ago. That time I just got my license. I wasn't the best driver yet, but I knew enough to pass the driving test. I crashed when I took it out for a spin without Daniel's permission. He was supposed to be in it with me. I was in the hospital for weeks because of a broken leg. It was weird that it healed in a short period of time, Daniel wasn't so surprised. He said our genetics has fast metabolism.
He however, banned me from driving fearing for my life. I'll be earning my own now, so I can save enough to buy myself a car.
"Do you want me to give you a ride home? It's getting late. You shouldn't be out there by yourself". I'd prefer to walk no thank you.
"Thanks for the offer, but you don't need to worry about my safety Mr Morningstar. I'll just call my brother". I said as nicely as I could.
I take my phone from my handbag and dialed Daniel's number. I look up at him trying to hide my disgust. Won't he get out of my way?
I look at his chest. His long sleeve button front shirt is sucked tightly to his perfect shaped chest. His biceps proudly bracing through his sleeves. His pants fits perfectly around his torso. His belly is flat and I can see his abs smiling at me.
How can a serious, disrespectful, evil looking person like him look so freaking hot.
I look up back at him snapping myself from admiring him any longer. I mentally slapped myself when he gave me the impression that he know that I was checking him out.
"Can you please excuse me?" He opened the door. I gave him a fake smile before I stepped out.
What were you doing Chrissy? Couldn't you choose a different time to check him out? Like, when he's not looking?
He's your boss Christina. You don't admirer him ok? No matter how hot he looks.

"Why didn't you take the offer? It would've been a great experience for you". Tina laughed.
"I wasn't going to sleep with him Tina. I saw the guy having...you know inside his office. I was right next door". I wasn't gonna say sex. I'm holding my niece Gabriel on my lap. I don't want her to ask what it is. She's full of questions at times it gets to my head.
"Who's a good girl". Gabriel laughed. "I am auntie". She jumped up and down. She mostly resembles Daniel. Her chubby cheeks, pretty little bright blue eyes, resembles one of Daniel's baby pictures. Her thin lips are from Tina.
"Your kidding right?"
"Nope. I saw it with my own two eyes".
"I don't trust that guy Chrissy. You better be careful around him". Daniel seriously told me.
Tina glared at Daniel. "I think I want to be your personal assistant D". I rolled my eyes. Here goes.
Daniel look at her frowning before he focussed back on the road.
"I don't have sex-".
"What's sex daddy?" Oh god. Just what I was trying to avoid.
"Um..". Her parents look at each other.
"When your old enough we'll tell you honey". Tina replied.
"How old?"
"I'm not sure baby. You'll know".
"Gabby baby just play with auntie ok? Don't mind mommy and daddy. Their creepy". I said before she could ask another question, which I'm sure she would.
"Ok". She answered in her baby voice. I started to tickle her making her laugh.
"I don't have...with anyone in my office. It was just that one time when I asked you to visit me because I couldn't wait. I was horny". He smirked. I covered Gabby ears.
"Hello remember that we're back here". They both started their petty argument. I rolled my eyes and continued playing with Gabby.
My phone started ringing.
"Hold on for a sec Gabby". She grabbed my hair. "Bad girl". I said as she giggles.
"Hello". I answered without checking the caller's ID, while Gabby pulls on my hair. I swallowed as the smile fades from my lips. That silence again.
I quickly hung up. The feeling of uneasiness fills my stomach.
