Friday. So far so good. redith didn't think she would survive a week working for Atlas Martini but here she was.
These past few days had been a marathon. She had been busy booking reservations, sending emails, taking minutes, and making coffee for her boss.
She just finished going through so figures. Atlas suspected soone was stealing from him and he wanted her to cross check paynt slips of the workers. redith was very good with numbers so less than 2 hours she found where the problem was.
Soone had been embezzling the company funds. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 12:30pm. Ti for lunch.
She walked to his office door and knocked on. redith didn't hear anything for a long ti. She was about to knock again when she heard him.
"Co in."
redith walked in and stood in front of him. He looked stunning in his fitted black suit. He wore a black shirt underneath with no tie and had left two top buttons opened. He looked at her with his striking blue eyes.
"I'm done sir. I have seen where the problem is."
"I'm glad. Do you mind showing ?" Atlas said as he beckoned her to co closer with his hand.
redith went to stand beside him. Atlas opened the data sheet on his laptop and pushed it closer to her.
redith swallowed and leaned closer to the desk. Her heart hamred in her chest as his cologne hit her nose.
God, he slled so good. A shiver moved through her, followed by a heated ache between her legs as she imagined her kissing him while running her fingers through his hair.
She bit her lips to keep herself focused as she moved the cursor across the screen.
"Here." She suddenly said clearing her throat.
redith felt all on the hairs on her body standing up as he moved closer to look on the laptop screen. It took all her strength to focus on the sheet ahead of her than the sexy dangerous male beside her.
"Soone had inputted the wrong figures and manipulated the results of the calculation, properly to cover their tracks." She explained as she highlighted the figures.
"Hmm. I have to admit you're good. Miss Rossi." He complinted her slowly pulling back.
"Thank you." redith blushed as she straightened up and took a step back.
"Erm, do you want
to do sothing for you again? I want to go for lunch."
"No. Enjoy your lunch, Miss Rossi." He said while looking on his laptop screen.
******
On her way to the cafeteria redith bumped into a strong chest. Before her butt could make contact with the ground, strong arms wrapped around her waist helping her regain her balance.
She looked up and saw that she had bumped into a familiar face, Albert.
He smiled down at her and asked, "Are you okay princess?"
redith rolled her eyes and pulled away from him. She didn't know why he called her princess. Her looks were too average for soone to call her that.
"Yes, I am and will you stop calling
that?"
Albert shrugged, "No. I like calling you that. Also, I'm hurt you didn't co to look for . I thought we were friends?"
"Sorry, I have been busy."
Albert nodded, "I will accept your apology if you buy
lunch."
"Okay, let's go."
redith liked Albert for so reason. He was really nice and carefree. Soone she could be herself with without fearing she would be judged.
They walked to the elevator pressing the 1st floor. Just across the street there was a diner there. redith was obsessed with the food here after the first ti she ca here. They entered and sat at a table. redith picked the nu looking at different choices of what to eat.
"What do you want to eat?" She asked Albert who was busy on his phone. His brows knitted in concentration.
Albert looked up from his phone and shrugged, "Surprise
princess."
"Are you sure?" She asked him.
"Yeah."
The waitress ca to collect their orders and return a few minutes later with it.
Albert put his phone in pocket and grinned when he saw what she had order. He doesn't rember the last ti he ate chicken wings with fries and coke. "I didn't know you were a chicken girl princess. Shouldn't you be ordering salad?" Albert said surprise written all over his face.
All the girls he had went out will always order salad when he took them out. He didn't understand why they starved themselves or maybe they were trying to impress him? He didn't know. It was nice to see a woman eating junk food with a dreamy look on her face.
redith chuckled while she popped her fries in her mouth. "Sorry to disappoint you but chicken is so delicious especially the one at this diner for
to order salad. Try it."
Albert nodded and took a bite of his chicken. He had tasted better food but yeah, this chicken wings were delicious.
They began eating and started making a conversation.
"So, is Atlas easy on you?" Albert asked while raising his brows.
"Yeah actually, I completely ssed up on the first day but Mr. Martini gave
a second chance." redith told him then shrugged her shoulders.
Albert stopped eating and looked at her. "He gave you a second chance? Atlas Martini?"
redith gave him a confused look. "Yeah, he did. He told
he is giving
a second chance so I shouldn't ss up."
Albert's eyes widened while his mouth opened.
"As far as I know Atlas didn't give second chances. Forgiveness wasn't even in his vocabulary and he made an exception for you?"
"Maybe he sees my potential?" redith chuckled. Even though she was thinking about Albert's words. Why did he give her a second chance?
"No. there are lot of people with more potential princess."
"So why do you think he gave
the second chance?"
A glint passed through Albert's eyes while his lips curled into a smile.
"Guess we will never know"
