It was just her first day on the job, but her world had already spun out of control.
First, she was late because her reliable old car had decided to retire on this day.
Of all days.
Second, as the new assistant, her boss demanded coffee as soon as she walked into the room.
It was cold. He complained.
Too sweet. Not enough milk.
Make it black.
"Fuck, Oliver Morton!" She mumbled under her breath as she made his fourth cup, ensuring to boil the water thoroughly. No milk and no sugar.
Third, Maximus' arrival. His summon. His proposal.
It was a surprise. A shock. Totally unexpected.
What was that old man thinking, offering his shares to her? What cruel joke was he cooking now?
Fourth, she also had to deal with Aaron, one of the biggest flirts she had ever met. Although she knew he was harmless, it was still a pain to work with him.
It was also clear that her husband didn't like her spending time with him. For some apparent reason, he seemed jealous.
