RachelI felt like time was running out for me. I said I would try to seduce Chase but I was going nowhere.I had not implemented a concrete plan.I yawned as I woke up from the bed.Yesterday, I and Norman came back late. I didn't want to disturb my mother so I pushed the talk I was going to have with her to today.She hadn't really taught me anything.I don't know if the dress I bought worked like I wanted it to. Chase didn't make any specific comments about the dress.Now, the dress had become something I would discard because of Ted and the bad memory attached to it.I freshened up and I headed downstairs.My mother had already prepared breakfast and the rest of the family was sitting at the dining table."I wanted to send Norman to fetch you before." My mother said before she glared at my dressing, "What are you wearing?"I chuckled before I took my seat."Mother. In my own house, being comfortable is key." I said as I dragged my plate closer to me.I was just wearing a simple t-
RachelMy mother didn't need to tell me that the way to seduce someone effectively was to be closer to that particular person.I had to be near the person to show that person my good traits and my charms.I can not do that if I was miles way from Chase.A stream from Europe can't extinguish a blazing fire in America. It was that simple.I had to be very close to him for my charms to have a chance to do their work.This was the reason why I opted for seeking a job as his secretary.The position of a secretary was the closest I could get to Chase. I would be able to be with him for long hours.After I compiled my CV, I submitted it on the official website of The Steel Cell Group.The rest of the day was spent on waiting patiently for a response from the Steel Cell Group.In the evening, I finally got an email that asked me to come for a live interview tomorrow.I had passed the online interview.I was wrapped in happiness all through.After dinner, I stared at my phone as I browsed thro
RachelI looked towards the source of the sneering voice and I saw a female approaching me.She was dressed in a wine blouse and a black skirt. Her attire outlined her figure.I didn't even know if it was natural but her cleavage was showing."Patricia, why are you here?" The receptionist asked as she returned my phone to me.I accepted my phone and stared at the new arrival.I didn't want to be rude so I didn't reply to her previous comment about me.She might turn out to be my coworker in the nearest future. I did not want to cultivate any bad blood between us.Still, I looked down at my dressing and I checked her getup again.Since I didn't want to embarrass Chase, I made sure I only exploited the limits of modesty in my dressing.My clothes didn't show any private body parts but it still showed my charm.I don't know how Patricia got the idea that I was here to seduce a client. If those words were said about her, I would be convinced.I didn't mean to judge but her getup made her
RachelI was on cloud nine as I drove back home. When I left the Steel Cell Group's premises, I didn't meet Patricia.I was thankful, I didn't want to see her annoying face anyway.It seemed like the punishment she had gotten from the Human Resource Department had deterred her.It was better for her to stay away from me.I arrived at my house and I went upstairs to my room for a shower. After I was done, I went downstairs to help my mother with dinner."How did the interview go?" My mother asked as she passed the onions to me.I peeled the onions and rinsed it. I put it on the chopping board and I began to cut it into tiny bits."I got the job but there was a minor hiccup." I said as the sound of the knife hitting the board echoed in the kitchen.My mother left the eggs she was frying and she lowered the gas intensity.She turned to face me with her hands on her hips."What happened? Did anyone bully you?" She asked with a frown in her face.I chuckled.My mother was acting like she w
RachelThe next day was as tedious as ever. Chase refused to give me any leeway.He disregarded the relationship between us."Photocopy these papers for me. Three copies for each page." Chase said before he handed a set of papers to me.I grumbled softly.I made sure it wasn't loud but I expressed my displeasure."You are not cutting me some slack at all." I said as I clutched the papers.I was getting nowhere with Chase. I did all I could.I dressed well.I made sure I made slight touches in the boundaries of decency as a way to tempt him.I try every way to showcase my good side.Still, I was getting zero response from him.His dark eyes would look at me with a devouring gaze sometimes. That was all I could get and it didn't prove anything.The relationship between I and Chase needed a strong catalyst to push it forward.I needed something tangible. Dark gazes would get me nowhere.I was sad and happy that my charms didn't really work on him.I was sad that he wasn't responding to m
RachelAfter giving me a brief time to rest, Chase went back to giving me intense workloads. I knew that the rare rest time wasn't going to last long. He told me to cherish it himself.Soon, the time to sign off my work came and I wrapped up everything I had to do quickly.Chase smiled as he saw how excited I was to sign to get off work.“You don’t have to behave like I locked you in hell.” Chase said with a smile still on his lips.I shrugged before I walked out of the building.Chase was following me with his long legs. One of his steps was two of mine.“Let me take you home.” Chase proposed and I was about to agree.The exact moment I was about to agree, my phone rang.It was Alexis.I had totally forgotten about the workers' get-together she told me about.I answered her call."Hello Rachel." She began."Hello Alexis." I greeted her back."I see you are about to leave so I said should remind you about the thing I mentioned to you." Alexis said and I frowned as soon as she finished
RachelShe was trying to use the opinions of the other people here to force me to drink. "It has nothing to do with her." I said calmly. I did not reach out for the glass cup even with her grim face. "Are you sure?" She did not wait for me to answer before she continued, "You might not want to accept the drink we gave because I am friends with Patricia." I tucked my phone into my pockets, "Why would I not be sure? You are friends with Patricia doesn't mean I would hold a grudge with you for what she did." Polly perked up after she heard my words. It was like she was injected with adrenaline. She was similar to a cat that got an hidden rat. "So, you mean you have been holding grudges with Patricia? Is that why you refused to accept the drink?" Polly said in a rush. I shook my head. Polly was just going round and round. She was repeating what I had already replied to. She was right about the fact that I did not want to accept the drink she poured because of Patricia. Patricia
RachelI don't know why they were this frantic.They kept knocking on the doors to the cubicle.If there was no sound, my pursuer would leave. They left any cubicle that had people answering with a voice that wasn't mine too.I clenched my phone in my hand as I stared at the door.My decision to find out about my coworkers was right but my way of executing that decision was wrong.It brought me trouble.It was obvious that these people that set me up had taken the cure for whatever they gave me.Their normalcy was the reason I was deceived. It was the reason I was pressured into drinking what they offered.My body was still showing me hell but I managed to lift the edges of my lips a little.Those people did not force me. I was the one that let their momentum and aura get to me.I was reaping the results of my actions now.Sweat began covering every inch of my body. It felt like I was dunked in lukewarm water.The sweat on my body cooled and more sweat continued coming out of my pores
