Chapter 3 she tells me everything

my friend, at least I won't embarrass myself. The day went by quickly and I didn't encounter any difficulties, it's much more similar to what I already did, so I got the hang of it quickly, the hard part will be guessing how David likes things, but I'll see that with time. Heels fly past me, accompanying a very pretty blonde. - Excuse me. - I ask, stopping in front of him. - Would you like something? - I received his look from top to bottom, measuring me, and everything I thought about his beauty falls apart when I realize that it's only on the outside. - Who are you again? - He asks.

- The new secretary. - So, little secretary, know that Claire Mitchell comes in here at any time of the day. - Before I can answer, my boss appears. - Clarie, what are you doing here? - He asks in an irritated voice. - I came to see you, honey. - I step out of his way and return to my seat. These two can figure it out. - But that little woman didn't let me pass. - Hayley is my secretary, it's her job. Now you... let's get out of here. I said, leaving with her. Oh, sir, I can see that it's going to be hard to handle her visits here. I finish my shift and run home. - Mom. - Guess what. - I say, picking Sam up and looking at Jacey sitting on the couch. - Now I'm the secretary of the company's boss. - Really? - I nod, receiving his hug. - Let's celebrate... pizza? - Pizza, pizza. - Sam repeats, making us laugh. Chapter 05 Changes are good, they transform our current selves into our future selves, renewed, inspired, resigned. I'm two weeks into this new change that life has brought me. Working for David isn't great, but it's also better than my last boss. Even though he's super dry in conversation, the man doesn't say much, he doesn't even seem like the same guy who got stuck in the elevator with me. The good thing is that I have a great view of him every day, because let me tell you, every time I see him I'm even more surprised by his beauty, not to mention the delicious body he must have under those clothes. But we only talk about what's necessary, if I let him, he'll just call me and tell me what he needs and what I have to do, he's not bad, but working without being able to talk isn't the best thing, but what can I do, he's my boss and not my friend. - Mommy, mommy, mommy. - I hear Samuel's screams before he even throws himself on top of me on the bed. - Congratulations, mommy. - Thank you, love. - He puts his arms around my neck and hugs me tightly, how I love those hugs. - Congratulations, Hayley. - Sam starts jumping on the bed and I see Jacey with a tray of breakfast for me. - Guys, it's just my birthday or I won the lottery and I still don't know. - I joke. - The little one insisted on doing this all week. We had breakfast in bed with my friend and my baby. Jacey gave me some extra time today, so she got ready and took Sam to school so she could enjoy a few more minutes. And of course I took advantage of it. I washed and dried my hair, put on some more formal clothes and put on some makeup, using lots of red lipstick because today is my day. I arrived at the office to the congratulations of the few acquaintances I saw, but I was interrupted by an excited Olivia as soon as I stepped onto our floor. - Congratulations Hayley. - I was pulled into a tight hug. - Are you up today? - Sure, Jacey and I will meet you at eight. - And our little one? - He's going to stay with the neighbor, the one who is his little friend's mother. - She nods and starts rummaging through her bag. - For you. - Seriously? - I wasn't expecting any gifts. - Sure, I'm a great friend on leave. - I can't stand her saying things like that, they always make me laugh. I open the box I received and my eyes fill with tears immediately when I see a bracelet with a little boy's pendant. - I loved it. - I knew you would like it. - She brags. - You think you're too cool. - I don't think I'm a friend, I am. - She still tosses her hair before leaving. I deserve it. I run to my desk so I won't be late. As always, my beloved boss is already in his office. This guy gets up early here, it's only possible. I pass the agenda to David who is more impatient than usual today. Oh no, today of all days. I spend the morning with a pile of pending matters to resolve for him, thank goodness I'm happy today, otherwise I would be dying. - Hayley. - I stop typing when David arrives in front of me. - I need you to pick up my lunch at the usual restaurant. - Ok. - I allow myself to answer only that because I know I missed my lunch break today. At the same time, I grab my bag and go down to get his lunch. Luckily, they were already waiting for me because I called beforehand, and even luckier because the restaurant is on the same block as the company. And what will my lunch be? Probably a coffee that I'll get from the company's cafeteria. A nice birthday lunch. I knock on his door and enter as soon as I'm allowed with his lunch in hand. I still haven't gotten used to the looks between us, if he wasn't my boss, oh my God, I have to hold my thoughts. - Hayley. - Yes. - I turn around from the door to listen to him. - Happy birthday. - Okay, that made me embarrassed even more seeing that charming smile on the corner of his lips. - Oh... thank you. - I say awkwardly and soon return to my desk before being pulled into some conversation and go back to work for the rest of the afternoon. - Congratulations to the most beautiful one. - Thank you, but it's still a no. - Come on, at some point you have to agree to go out with me. - He says smiling and leaning over my desk. - No way, Ben. - I'm just not giving up because I like you Hayley. For me, he gave up a long time ago but he keeps on nagging because he never gets tired, this guy was born with persistence and accumulated willpower. - Can I know how he found out about my birthday? - I ask. We talked but we're not good enough friends for him to know that and he also doesn't seem like my boss to have my file in his hands, but he shrugs. - Olivia. - I roll my eyes because that says it all. Benjamin is the kind of boss who talks to his secretary, Olivia must know more about Ben's life than he does. - That's what he answers. - I get up, packing my bag to leave. - You know how it is, she tells me everything... including... she found out they're going out today. - Yeah, I'm going to celebrate. - We hear the door open as soon as I finish talking. - I'm going back to work, I came to congratulate you, enjoy your day, babe. - He winks and leaves, t like
