Chapter 11 - First Day (1/2)

Meredith closed the door and leaned against her. She has done a lot of embarrassing things in her life but this was just top notch.

What kind of idiot put the fingers of their boss in their mouth on their first day at work? She tried to calm her heart which was hammering in her chest.

She remembered the lame excuse she gave about her brother and cringe with embarrassment. Gosh she can't face him, this was mortifying.

Her mind went to her brother. She couldn't let him down. She had promised to get him a laptop once she gets paid. Also, Sofia had gotten her the job so she couldn't disgrace her.

Meredith stared at the floor as she thought of a solution. As long as she works hard he would forget about this incident and not fire her.

A flush spread across her face as she remembered how his fingers felt in her mouth.

At first she just wanted to smoothen the burns but the moment she flicked her tongue right to left on his burned fingers she realized that she actually liked it.

Her body hummed with arousal and she felt herself get a rush of moisture below. Gosh, she was turning into a hormonal teenager.

Meredith sighed and went to her desk. She looked through the file Julia had given her and started working.

She had to arrange reservations, answer phone calls and divert clients phone calls to his office.

**************

By the time it was 5pm Meredith was beyond tired. She had been sent then on a mad errand. It's like her boss wanted to punish her for what happened earlier.

She had been sent to grab coffee every two hours. Go through each important client profile , the assignments left by the previous secretary and send emails to the various departments. She didn't even have time for lunch.

Now she had a horrible headache and her stomach was protesting. She had to do some photocopies then she will be done for the day.

The moment Meredith stood up to do the photocopies downstairs the door of Atlas's office opened.

He was talking on the phone and she could guess whatever conservation he was having wasn't pleasant.

”So is there anything we can do?” She heard Atlas murmured. His voice was strained and his fist clenched.

”Alright.” Atlas sighed and hung up the call. He had received a call from his brother's doctor. He thought his brother would be waking up soon but that doesn't seem like the case.

Nobody knew why he hadn't woken up. All his tests were fine and his vitals were perfect but Ace wasn't waking up. The doctors couldn't explain why all they told Atlas was to wait.

Now it's been almost a year and he was losing his patience. He needed his brother, his best friend.

God, he really needed to find the person responsible for his brother's accident to release the pent up frustration he has for a year now.

He ran his hands through his hair and blew out air.

”Erm….are you okay sir?”

Atlas tipped his head in her direction and saw his secretary with a worried frown on her face. He didn't even notice she was standing there.
