Rushing, down the hallway into my office with my vanilla bean frap from Starbucks with my favorite toppings made especially for me by Jason.....(I did tell you guys about Jason, the guy from Starbucks that i would have dated if he weren't 11 yrs younger than me....) when my secretary Jess walked in.
"Okay L, you have 15 minutes to get yourself together for a meeting with Clive Anderson and your ex with his client and you have 5 missed calls from Jerry Silverson about some press issues." then with a quick pause she said sweetly "good morning, how are you today?"
with the way I was feeling I didn't even know what to say.
"okay, from that expression I believe that your stressed and need a brief intervention before you start work today...I'll be right back." knowing Jess, you'll never know what she's up to.
Five minutes after I've put all my stuff together and was relaxing on my turbo messaging chair, Jess walked in with a McDonald's yogurt parfait and a mac snack wrap, I swear I could have kissed her right then.
"here you go boss, if this doesn't make you happy I don't know what will" she said as she handed over the blessed food sent to me from God.
"Jess, I gotta say, I don't know what I'll do without you, I really don't" I said while unwrapping the snack wrap.
"I know, you know you could pay me back with a raise..."
"Don't push it Jess...."
"okay, okay, I'm leaving already, I'll beep you when they get here. Conference room, right?"
"yeah, thanks Jess"
"oh, your welcome"
okay, let me explain, my infatuation with these two particular foods. The parfait became a drug to get me away from exhaustion when I was working on a Roy Lenard case, yes the famous soap actor Roy Lenard....but man was he a pain in my ass and on top of that he was so selfish and miserly he kept on splitting the check or make me pay for everything. It's a wonder that I even got paid. So one day he wanted to meet up with me to talk about the case and suggested we meet up at McDonald's. At first I thought he was joking then I realized that this man has no sense of humor, so he was definitely serious. so we meet there and I ended up ordering what picture looked nice....just so you know I haven't been to McDonald's since I was 16 so the changes were really impressive.. so I ended up ordering a yogurt parfait and then ended up ordering 8 of them. Since then that has been my secret addiction but I've suppressed it for only emergencies. As for the snack wrap I tried it out this yaer on one my trips to McDonald's and fell in love.
just as i finished scraping all of the yogurt from the bottom of the cup Jess beeped me. Quickly throwing all the trash away, I told Jess to tell them I'll see them in about 6 minutes. In five minutes i fixed my hair and reapplied my makeup, smoothed down my skirt and readjusted my push-up bra. Hey, who said you can't dress up for a meeting especially if it's with your ex. If there's anything I've learnt from relationships is always make the jerk regret, and that's exactly what I did. and with the final spray of perfume I got my stuff and strolled out.
as I passed by Jess she hooted " go knock him dead!" I love my support system.
and I guess that's what I achieved because as I walked in the look he gave me said it all. And I heard his client whisper in his ear " how could you let her get away!" nothing makes you feel sexier.
"good morning men" I said as I sat in the chair that Clive pulled out for me.
" so what do we have here, Mr. White?" I said looking directly at Lucas.
leveling me with a smile and a quick once-over, he answered
"you're looking pretty good" giving me that inspection look again and stopping short at my breast.
" Thank you, sorry to cut your charade short but my client has work to do and this is taking up some of his time. So please keep your flattery until we're done." I said giving him a smile, what an ass.
finally after an hour of seeing his disgusting face the meeting was over.
" good day" I said as i shook hands with all of them except him and walked to my office, I was just about to close the door when someone grasped my waist and spun me around.
"What do you want Lucas?" and before i could even protest he kissed me just like that! As if he was my boyfriend or something.
but unfortunately I couldn't slap him cause it was just that good.
"Don't ever do that again! if you still want your balls still attached!"
"well, well. Since when did you get feisty?"
"I mean it Lucas, next time you try that I'll sue you for attempted rape"
"I don't think you can do that honey, if you were a willing accomplice...."
oh, he had the nerve
walking to my desk i began to dial security
" hi, is this security?"
" okay, okay, I get your point, I'll leave. See you next week" he said departing with a wink.
Oh, I hate him. I HATE ALL MEN!.......well except those two...
