The Mistress

IV

I felt the door forcing itself to close and I tore my eyes from the captivating grey eyes and try to focus on the elevator doors and Desmond who was going farther away

"Desi.... "I screamed and he finally turned to look at him

"Lady Can you just get off.... You are delaying me" grey eyes was growing more impatient

"Hold on mister... This would only take a second "... I turned back to Desmond

"Matilda what are you doing here"
He yelled back

"Just visiting... U"

He said something but I could barely hear and the doors are forcing harder I kicked off one leg of my sneaker and place it in between the door and stepped out quickly on one foot

"I work here"

"OH really.... What floor " I turned just in time to see my sneakers getting kicked off.. I hurried back into the elevator

"Why can't you just calm the fuck down .... "

The angry grey eyes were saying something but I didn't pay attention
with my hands on the door again I screamed out

"What floor Desmond?"

"Why don't you get off and take anyone ride up"
The man behind me spit out

"It took forever to get this one... So just chill.... If you would stop pushing that button maybe I would have gotten his floor number already" I snapped

"I'll give you his floor number.... Just let it go"

"How.... "

"As long as he works here..... I'll find it"

"Are you sure"

"Yes.... "

I finally gave in.... Letting out a loud sigh as I watch the door shut

"Finally.... "he said softly.. I must have really shaken him

"Don't mind me... He's an old friend and I never thought I'd ever see him again"

He ignored and focuses on the count up

"So... How am i going to find him?"

No answer

"Mister... How am I going to find Desmond"

"I don't know and I don't care "

"Whaaaat!! So you tricked me"

"I didn't trick you.... I just couldn't watch you waste any more time"

"I only needed a moment with my friend"

"And that moment could have cost a penny and that's worth more than you and your friend can afford"

"You are such an asshole.... How am I supposed to find him now... I don't know why I ever listened to you. You know what they say about men in suit who never keep to their words"

He turned to look at me

"They live the shittiest life... "
The elevator chimed open and it was my floor

"Enjoy your sad life... Prick"
I said as I walked out of the elevator

Mr. Albert wasn't hard to find... I was led to his office by the first nice gentleman I met on the hallway .i was still pinning over Desmond but

Mr Albert was a sweetheart or better still. I think I may have an hidden talent for this kind of job and I could easily prove Eleanor wrong

She didn't think... I'd be able to pull this off and here i am

Albert had the picture of his little girl on the desk and all I had to do was ask questions, give good remarks about his fatherhood and sweet little girl

This men work 8 hours nonstop , they need a little reminder of their life outside of work

"You are a good representative Matilda.... I should introduce you to some of my colleagues"

Bingo!

"Really... I would love that sir "

"Ohh pls call me James"

I smiled.... Oh but of course

Mr. Albert... Sorry James introduced me to Mr Calhoun

Who fell in love with my charms too
Ain't today my lucky day
They even offered me brunch

If Mr. Calhoun wasn't so busy, we would have chat a little more but he had lots of unfinished business so I couldn't stay long

Although I wouldn't mind spending the rest of the day here making new clients for Eleanor and reuniting with an old friend

The last office... James took me to, was quite different from the rest

We had to wait awhile before we were ushered into the big office

Sitting across the room was the angry grey eyes from earlier

OH shit....... take me back

He had his eyes on his system and was on a call, I was thinking of a plan to either run out of this office or disappear

I hope he won't spoil all my day work so far.... Why does he have to be him of all the people in this building?

When his call seem to be unending
James excused himself and I was actually glad because I was about to tap count twenty before I flee so we don't ever run into each other

But almost immediately James left, Mr. grey eyes ended his car and I turned quickly to leave

"Why are you still in my building...? Miss and in my office"

His building
He owns this place
how can he own this establishment
I ran my hand over my head and
I swallowed hard as I turn back slowly to look at him

"I.... I.. Uhmm" I stammer

"You what.... Ohh yes that reminds me. Have you found your boyfriend? You know the one you were crazy for in the elevator earlier"

"He is not my boyfriend... " I answered slowly

"But he is really important... What's that his name again"

"Desmond"

"Desmond what"

"Kings"

"Great.... Let have Desmond join us already "he picked up his cell and dialed someone

"Yes please I need you to find one Desmond kings.... Send him up and ohh yes... Prepare his termination letter too"

OH my God...
What have I done?
