I rifled throughIt was the first day of work and I needed to look professional Of course, I also wanted to look pretty because hello, it was Sebastian! Not that I was trying to co I wanted to be professional and dome

But well, if I caught hiive me a self-esteem boost since he was one of the sexiest

Considering the fact that he was constantly surrounded by beautiful woirlfriends who'd give anything to have him back – I didn't really expect hihter And to hiirl who'd crushed on hi before I even hit puberty

Still, it couldn't hurt to put a littleto be at his side as often as it sounded like I would be, I needed to look my best He always looked impeccable, no matter what he wore I needed to match that

For my first day, I tried to keep the skirt reasonable and tasteful – nomoments with a skirt that rode up – but definitely not rey pencil skirt that fell just above my knees, and a soft pink blouse With sonon, I looked very much the part of the business professional Feht amount of sex appeal that made me think rooman now

I showed up at his office ten minutes early, coffee in hand, ready to start the day I carried a cup forin on coffee dates withattention That wasand down to his office, feeling like I was on cloud nine

As I strolled down the hallway, I could barely contain reat boss, and in just a feeeks, I'd be heading to Bali for the trip of a lifetime All for work, of course

But as I rounded the corner into Sebastian's office, I saw that the door was shut Waving at hih the , I could see he was on the phone and he didn't look all that happy Hefrom ear-to-ear as I sat his coffee down on his desk quietly

“Listen, Jess, I'm at work,” he said

I knew Jessica It was his ex-girlfriend She'd come over to our house with hie County type, only after him for his money With her Botox and boob job, she was about as fake as they came I honestly never knehat he saw in her – well, except maybe for the perfectly crafted tits Best money could buy Likely his money, too

I mouthed, “Should I come back?”

Sebastian shook his head,for me to sit down across from him so I did

“I' up now, Jess,” he said, irritation in his voice “Goodbye”

And just like that, he put his phone down and looked up at me, his eyes tired I'd never seen hi person, up before the dawn and usually always in the office before everyone else He and ard But today, even at eight in the , he looked ready to pass out

“Thanks for the coffee, Violet,” he said “You're a lifesaver”
