I had prayed long and hard before I went to work today. I prayed for forgiveness from God for whatever wrong I've done Him and begged for His protection from Mr Miller because I didn't ever want to betray Junior. I didn't want to go to work but I had asked for Friday off in preparation for my engagement party on Saturday night, so I had to make up for my off weekend by being at work every day until. I covered up as much as I could before I came to work because I still had to look professional. I don't know how it's going to help me today since I'm always covered from head to toe every day because even though I was covered last night, he still had an effect on me. My clothes served as a shield. I was dreading seeing him, so I avoided him for the most part. I asked the secretary to give him his cup of tea and scones, and she was all too happy to do so. She had a very big crush on him and everyone at work knew. I mean, all of the women he

"If you leave me standing out here, they'll see me," he said coolly, his hand to his lips as he held a cigarette between those lips of his and there was a mischievous glint in his eyes. With strength I didn't know I had, I gripped him by his bicep and pulled him into the room, locking the door so that Junior didn't walk in on us.  "What are you doing here?" I repeated in a heated whisper and glared at him before I began flailing my arms around to try to get rid of the smell of cigarette because it would be a dead giveaway that someone had been in this room other than me.  He looked me over, leaving the cigarette dangling on the corner of his lips as he smirked and walked towards me before he placed his hands on my waist, "you look good enough to eat," he chuckled, a hungry look coming across his face as he ran his finger along my exposed thigh.  I slapped his hand away, "don't touch me!" I whispered,

I called in sick today. I smoothly lied and told Mr Miller that I wasn't feeling very well and asked for the day off. He gave it to me without a moment's hesitation because I had faked several coughs and I know how he hates being sick and being around sick people. After getting the green card to not come to work, I hung up the phone, completely healthy and ready for what I was about to do. I was going to give myself to Mr Miller and I don't know why the hell I'm following my best friend's advice, but I am and there's no going back. Maybe this is all a mistake, but I didn't want to stop. I actually wanted to do this because I wanted to see his reaction. If he looked displeased, I'd never try again and just take the L. But if he didn't, then...I'm not really sure what because I haven't thought this through. I know whenever I don't come into work, Mr Miller never spends the whole day at the office. I'm usually the one who forces him to si

I kept looking over my shoulder as I gripped my coat tighter around me and banged my hand on my best friend's door, not caring that it was late at night and she was probably fast asleep. I'm surprised none of her neighbour's have come screaming out of their apartments, cussing me out for such noise, but I needed to talk to her. "I'm coming! I'm coming!" I heard her yell in frustration before I heard her turn the locks and the door opened. I just barged in, pushing her as I stumbled into her apartment, "Zara! Are you ok?" she asked me in a rush as she stepped outside of her apartment and looked around before she came in and closed and locked the door behind her. She turned to look at me and I was shivering, not from the cold but from guilt and regret, "I did it," I said to her, trying to keep the bile from rising in my throat but I couldn't. "What

"Whose car is that?" Jared asked me as he pulled into the driveway of my 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home. I was talking to Kelly, and we had just dropped off my parents at their house. Jared was dropping me off at my house and then would drop off Kelly last because she lived closer to where he lived. I turned away from Kelly and looked into my driveway to see the unmistakable Cadillac Escalade that Elijah travels to work with. My breath caught in my throat and my heart began to pound against my chest, "uh, that's my boss's car," I answered slowly as I turned to look back at Jared and Kelly who had on a huge smile while Jared looked unbothered by it. "Alright then, see you on the weekend. We really have to find a dress, Zara," Jared told me as he leaned in and planted a kiss on my cheek and I waved goodbye to Kelly. I was trying to appear calm and collected as I gathered my handbag in the crook of my arm and made my way out of the car. I adju
