Chapter 6: Hurricane Leslie

Leslie's P.O.V.

Why is my life so damn messed up, nothing has really changed am still the same hurricane Leslie, one second I think maybe the universe has decided to favour me and not turn their back on me and the next something worse happens.

There was a board meeting this morning and my stupid clumsy trait just had to present itself . I seriously can't believe I embarrassed myself infront of a Japanese investor, that's what you call worst timing .

I seriously had to spill coffee , a whole mug " my life seriously can't get more exciting than it already is.

It's okay , you don't need to blame yourself it was an accident"Damien says grimacing 

I'm pretty sure you've realized that am a klutz and you're going to fire me aren't you"I say , I mean I can't blame the guy . Spilling real hot coffee on someone you're trying to persuade to do business with you is not a good look .

Don't think about it too much, beside Mr. Hideyoshi already accepted your apology and thankfully it didn't ruin business for us so don't think just because of a little mistake am just going to fire you" Damien says smiling .

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I'd like you to know that am spontaneous and unpredictable I make lots of mistake and am real clumsy am not sure am qualified for this job" I say replaying the scene that happened few minutes ago .

It's ok , really" He says smiling, damn.

How can he be so calm,when I accidentally spilled that coffee. I literally saw my long awaited freedom of getting the fuck out of my parents house flash before my eyes. I mean if things had escalated I'm pretty sure I would have lost my job and probably will be telling my awaiting hefty paycheck goodbye.

Hey. Are you ready for lunch?" I heard a real familiar voice say.

Oh dang it!

I totally forgot about going out to lunch with my friend Morgan A.K.A my BFF , the only person that just simply understands my kind of person , how I missed her .

I jolted at the sound of Morgan's voice. She was hovering at the doorway of Damien's office.

"Hey," I said, smiling. "Give me a minute. I just need to finish up here I say distractedly.

There's nothing for you to do here, I can handle the rest . Why don't you go have lunch with your friend and forget about what happened"He said smiling, damn damn damn . Why is he so nice to top it all sexy , handsome better than that jerk of an ex I had.

Are you sure? I still have somethings to do though or I can help you finish up here, I say trying to make up for my terrible mistake. All the bones in my body just want to do one thing and that's to please him.

Yes one hundred percent now please go have your lunch have got a meeting with HR right now"He say standing up and stridding out of the office .

"All right."I mumble to myself walking up to Morgan smiling she tugged her purse strap onto her shoulder and bounced toward the door. "Let's go!" 

I pulled my purse straps up to my elbow and poked my head in the door to Damien's office I locked the door "I wonder if he wants me to get him anything while I'm gone?"I thought witfully.

I smiled and turned, walking to Morgan and urging her down to the elevator .We'd barely taken a step inside when she leaned into me, grabbing my shirt, and said in a low voice, "Damn girl, he is hot as Fuck with a capital 'F.'"

Language Missy"I say smiling teasingly, typical Morgan she's always been the bold one while me the clumsy one , we've been friends since we were in diapers . She's my ride or die .

Morgan's eyes went wide. "Let's get lunch mama is hungry."

"Mhmm."

*******

"Holy shit, he's totally hot." 

I roll my eyes. It's the third time she's said that since we've sat down in the diner and ordered. 

She's said it twice before we'd ordered, and three more times on the way and I can't help but feel a bit strained from her words.

"I know it's a big dilemma," I said simply, reaching for my food. "I have to look at him on a regular basis it's pure torture."I say , really it is. Ogling those his huge muscles without having to touch them kills me. 

Damn that stupid clause!

Morgan slumped forward and rested her chin in her hands. "He's so beautiful. Like a sculpture in an art museum like a Greek God or Adonis. Totally beautiful. Like someone picked all the best parts of a man and decided to put them all together."she says dreamily, now am feeling a bit uncomfortable as she keeps drooling and going on and on about him .

She finished it off with a sigh.

A long, dreamy sigh!

" Babe you forget one thing he's also my boss," I said slowly, trying to let it sink into her head, not just hers but mine too.

"Doesn't matter how hot he is or how dreamy and handsome he looks, I can't date him anyway besides You can't also drool over him like he's your favorite piece of meat"

"Can I use him?"Morgan says eagerly.

Hell no!

I shriek , knowing Morgan she'll have a quick masturbation imaginating him.

"No!" I pinched the bridge of her nose berating her. 

She pursed her lips pouting. "All right, all right. But I can't promise anything."

I roll my eyes and sipped my juice. "I told you he was hot. But he's still my boss, so that's the end of that."

"Not for me."

Morgan laughed and paused.

"Don't you know great love stories like in novels transcend from secretary screwing their boss"she says smirking.

"Eww. When you put it like that , it sounds dirty " I say.

"Beside I am not going to sleep with my boss. Cut that out. And I wouldn't say there are any great love stories that begin with anyone having sex with their boss."

"Have you forgotten that's how my mom met my dad."

"All right, so your parents are an exception to the rule." I sighed as our fries was brought over and deposited in front of us, the waitress pausing to see if we needed anything else. When we said we didn't, she left us with a smile. 

"My parents have been happily married for years. It's totally possible to have a happy ending with your boss."she says smiling

"Hold up are you trying to marry me off to Damien?"I say incredulously.

"There's nobody else knocking at your door."

I dipped a fry in ketchup and pointed it at her. "You don't exactly have a long list of gentlemen knocking at yours, do you?"

"Nope , which is why you shouldn't be choosy"she says huffing.

Look I don't want to start anything with my boss if it's not something serious or worth the whole trouble"I say feeling a bit down inside.

She laughed, just because everybody isn't a romantic like you doesn't mean you can't have fun with him."she says sweetly.

Look, if I were giving the opportunity trust me I will climb that man like a polar bear and ride him till my old not so sure working Virgina screams and is sore, but I can't okay "I erupted all off a sudden.

Seeing him everyday sends my ovaries and hormones on overdrive , he occupies my thoughts daily I can't even comprehend if what am feeling is actually lust or something else . Believe me I do want to explore this part of me but I can't . He's my boss and to top it all he's the great Damien Boyce the great business "Tyrant" the heir to all the Boyce shipping, clothing Empire , he's super rich , wealthy and handsome as well. He's damn too popular among the ladies for his own good and that should at least give me a hint to set my eyes down to my standard but no it all makes me want him more even if he's a Playboy.

And also there's this freaking clause I had to sign apparently it's the most important of them all "No dating Working Colleagues" and if I dare breach that part of the contract there this huge amount of fine awaiting my name and some other consequences so sorry am being realistic here"I spurt out , realizing I literally just shouted for the whole damn diner to know about my freaking yet none existent love life and also scolded my best friend.

Am sorry , I just need to scream "I say sheepishly.

It's ok darling," she says with her hands outstretched covering mine.

You know what , if you really think he's worth it dive into it."she says encouragingly.

We'll pay the damn fine together, even if it's going to bleed me try"she says chuckling.

I slowly nodded smiling then bit into my burger tears threatening to spill out, have always trusted Morgan. All my life I had to be the grown up but had no one to actually see me as a kid or take care of me or put my needs first but then Morgan did all that. 

Which is why she'll forever be my BFF.

We finished our lunch in relative silence after that, only casually throwing out little bits of conversation until we were done, and we'd paid. 

I held the door open for her to walk through. "Are you going back to the salon?" 

Morgan nodded. "Need an appointment?"

Nah!

That will be next time"I say smiling.

I missed you Morgan"I sigh out hugging her tightly.

Missed you too my little trouble maker"I could literally feel her smile witfully.
