Jane
I don't know what the hell I was thinking when I put on this ridiculous dress. I should not have listened to my sister when she told me I looked good. Now, not only have I lost a great job opportunity, but I've also made a fool of myself in front of my potential boss. If I keep going like this, I'll have no choice but to go back home to my parents and continue taking care of a production company that I miss with every fiber of my being. However, memories of that day with Connor and that girl keep playing in my mind over and over again. Even their moans and naked bodies in my ex-fiance's office keep resounding in my head, torturing the willpower I have to never go back to that place again. What else can I do? Where can I find a job? I'm tired of going through unsuccessful interviews because of my appearance, and the day I decide to change my image, unfortunate events happen with the owner of the place. I couldn't be unluckier.
"Jane, wait!" someone called out to me, and I stopped when I heard it.
"Yes?" Gabriela was almost running behind me. She is a very formal and beautiful woman.
"I want to apologize for what Mr. Cooper said. He can be difficult, but he's a good boss," she smiled sideways. "Now, the job position is yours. I have seen thousands of girls, and none of them have the experience you have. Shall we talk about the contract and what the office work entails?"
"Alright," I murmured.
I was completely shocked by what she was telling me. I couldn't believe it was for me. What made them change their minds? I wondered, following her steps into a completely different office from where we were a while ago.
"Jones, what did I say?" that peculiar man raised an eyebrow, and everything inside me stirred. He's giving me that look that makes me extremely nervous again.
"It seems I haven't been clear; remember, you told me to find her to my liking, and that's what I did. Jane will be your secretary from now on," I don't know why, but it seemed like they had some kind of relationship. The way they speak so confidently makes me think that — "Read the contract thoroughly, Jane."
He handed me a white folder, and I took it with a tense arm. Why does he keep looking at me like that? It doesn't make me feel comfortable at all.
"Thank you," my loose mouth made me say things initially that I shouldn't have. I don't want this man to kick me out of his company, I already have enough with the hateful look he's giving me.
Gabriela had already interviewed me using a computer, and she asked me everything specified in the contract. I suppose hiring staff in this city is different from a small town. I read as much as I could, and Mr. Cooper hasn't stopped observing me. His eyes burn my skin in a terrible way. It's clear that he doesn't like the fact that I am his new secretary. After signing the contract, Gabriela took me to see my workplace. She gave me Mr. Cooper's personal schedule and explained in detail each of my duties.
"Miss Wilson, come with me," the man announced, walking down the hallway, and I followed his pace as fast as lightning until we reached the building's elevator. "Let me make two things clear, alright?" he said, raising my anxiety levels even more. "First, I never want to see you dressed or made up in such an inappropriate way again. It's not appropriate attire for a secretary. You look like an underpaid circus clown. Second, the moment you make a mistake, you will be fired. In case you haven't noticed, I am not at all pleased with Gabriela's decision to hire you, but well, I suppose everyone deserves a chance. Don't waste it, Miss Wilson."
"I understand perfectly, Mr. Cooper. Can I ask something?" He nodded, giving me a sideways glance from his towering height. "If you don't agree with me working for you, why did you let me stay? After all, you're the boss, or am I mistaken?"
He lowered his head to look at me completely. Oh, mother, now I'm really done for. Those beautiful green eyes pierced into mine. His stern gaze only made my heart race a thousand times faster. I cursed my mouth for not staying quiet.
"Part of your job is not asking such stupid questions, Miss Wilson" I held my breath at his harsh tone "Get out, I don't have all day to teach you how to dress like a real professional woman."
I walked out first as soon as the elevator doors opened. His shadow passed by my side, and I followed behind him. This job will be temporary; I don't think I can endure so much mistreatment from that man. I'm not used to taking orders, but anything to save enough to get as far away from this state as possible.
"Mariela, find a uniform in this young lady's size" he ordered an older woman who approached to take my measurements "Also, remove those ugly tattoos she has on her face."
He's rude, arrogant, egocentric, with a temper from hell; what am I paying for to have these things happen to me?
"Here, you can change in the back bathroom" I nodded, taking the clothes in my hands.
"Thank you" the woman smiled kindly, and I went straight to the bathroom before the handsome-faced ogre said anything.
"How am I supposed to put this on?"
I turned the tiny skirt in my hands and shook my head. The white blouse looked way too small, and so did the vest. There's no way I can dress myself in clothes that tight-fitting, that's not who I am. Nevertheless, I took off my dress and started putting on each piece, one by one. As expected, the uniform was too tight for me. My legs were on full display, and the blouse made me show off what I hate showing, they want to burst out. Actually, I had never seen them so big, and I see my body every day.
"Are you done yet? I don't have all day, or is the uniform not your size?" I don't know what the hell happened, but when Mr. Cooper opened the door, I froze, my hands adjusting my breasts, as I didn't expect him to come in suddenly and see me in this uncomfortable situation "What the hell are you doing?"
