Ashley wore a tight short, emphasising her curves, put on light make-up and curled her hair. She looked particularly tempting and she placed a love shaped stud on her nose.
"Ooh, someone has a boyfriend." Taylor said as she saw Ashley new look.
"Where are you going?" She asked again when Ashley ignored her.
Everyone looked at Taylor with sadness but Michelle knocked her head.
"She's got ba job, remember?"
Taylor finally recalled and apologised.
"Sorry, my illness is acting up again." She looked embarrassed.
"No biggie." Ashley said as she smothered butter on her bread.
Taylor hummed her reply but became downcast and it tightened Ashley resolve to work for Dylan as his assistant and also break him.
--------------------
"Good day Salie." Ashley greeted the receptionist as she walked into the building.
"Hey Ashley."
The mood in the company seemed tense and Ashley knew why. Immediately she entered her office, she saw that Dylan was in hid office. Her office was across Dylan office and was just separated by a glass wall.
"So early." She muttered as she sat down and checked the time and it was 7:45 am and he usually comes 9:00 am on dot.
Ashley guessed she was the reason for the change but, scratched that.
"What a joke." She thought aloud.
Her telephone rang , she picked it and saw heard Dylan voice. She raised her head and saw Dylan looking at her with an evil expression.
"Come to my office now."
Ashley rolled her eyes at his childish behaviour.
When Ashley entered the office, he told her to gather the data report of the research, marketing and graphics design team.
Ashley's eyes were wide like saucers and she pouted her lips looking confused but she looked extremely cute.
"No pouting of lips in my office." Dylan cold voice sounded and she slowly released her lips.
"Sir, they didn't send and report."
"Well, go tell them that I need their report." He said ruthlessly. His voice was cold and emotionless and made Ashley tremble.
"Y-yes sir."
"Get out!" He thundered as if disgusted by Ashley sight.
When she left he said "She was definitely dressed to kill. Ugh!, I can't think straight."
She quickly went away and as left she kept on cursing Dylan in her mind.
She went to the research department and had to wait for an hour and half before collecting their data report, the same thing happened with the marketing department.
"I seriously hate Dylan." Ashley had worn heels and her legs were already hurting by the time she left the marketing department.
When she got to the graphics design department, she asked a girl for the head of department but actually got snobbed.
"What the hell?"
It was the boy who directed her that noticed her and called her
"Hey, pretty lady."
Ashley was stumped, she turned around in disbelief.
"Me?"
"Who else is looking lost here."
"Me?" She said in a questioning tone. She was definitely confused. Everyone on the department attention was on her so her reaction was seen by everyone. There were actually more boys then girls. The boys thought her reaction was cute, the girls thought it was fake.
Ashley quickly composed herself.
"I came for the data report. The boss needs the data report for the department."
"Are you the boss secretary?" Darren asked curiosly.
Ashley smiled and responded.
"No, his assistant."
Darren looked at her hand which was loaded with stack of papers and noticed the sweat on her head.
"Clyde, give the lady a seat."
"Oh, yes." The boy hurriedly gave Ashley his seat.
"No need...sigh, thank you." She said as she sat down .
"Dispicable." Muttered the girl who snubbed Ashley. She heard but ignored her.
"Melaine, Fisher, the reports within thirty minutes." Darren ordered.
"Okay."
Darren came to Ashley "Don't you remember me?"
"I kinda do. You gave me directions but I forgot your name."
"It's Darren. What's yours?" He chuckled and asked.
"Ashley. Ashley Dean."
"Darren Walker, don't forget you can call me D for short."
"Naa, I'll stick to Darren."
"Okay."
The two chatted then Ashley asked if he doesn't have any work to do because she noticed the nasty stares coming from the girls.
"Not right now."
"Ok."
The report was made and Darren escorted Ashley to the entrance of Dylan office. Ashley didn't know that Dylan was watching everything from rye paint TV in his office.
As soon as she entered what greeted her was
"It seems like you are determined to seduce the men of my company."
"I beg your pardon."
"Ashley, you like to play innocent. This dress, your hairstyle,so what's it's for?"
At this stage he had stood up and is now in front of Ashley. He raised his hand and touched her chest and Ashley visibly shook and her elbows became weak.
"You exposed your chest, something you usually don't do."
