Chapter 2 Getting a job

Aphrodite was wowed with her bedroom, everything was Blue, and it was just to her liking. "This is the room Mom designed for you till the day you agreed to stay with me," Bianca said. "Wow, it's so lovely," Aphrodite said. "Okay, so the dresser is inside there" Bianca pointed to a door. "Okay thanks," Aphrodite said as her phone started to ring. "Hello" she answered "Good day am I into Ms gold?" The voice said. "Yes you are," Aphrodite said. "You have been officially employed by our company as the CEO's assistant, your task is simple, serve him coffee 30 minutes after his arrival, pass any important information to him, Schedule his meeting and attend any international meetings with him, your pay slip would be discussed by the CEO himself, is that understood?" The voice said. "Yes very clear," Aphrodite said excitedly. "You'll resume tomorrow morning by 9 am sharp, goodbye for now" the person hung up as Aphrodite squealed. "I got the job...I got the freaking job" she said. "Am happy for you bestie" Bianca said hugging Aphrodite. "Thanks, am starting tomorrow, can I get a makeover?" Aphrodite said holding Bianca's hand. "I got you on that," Bianca said. "Thanks," Aphrodite said. For the rest of the day, they just enjoyed each other's company and watched Netflix. By the next day, Aphrodite was all ready, her long black hair was now trimmed to medium length, light makeup on, her hair in a ponytail, she wore a black pencil skirt that stopped midthigh, a black button up shirt and black heels, she had breakfast as Bianca drove her to Roy Corp. "Hi Aphrodite," the receptionist said. "Hi...um" Aphrodite didn't know her name. "Margret, let me show you to your office" Margret offered as she led Aphrodite to her office. Aphrodite's office was in front of Atlas's own but there was a door which led to his office, she opened her purse and saw a new iPhone with a note. "Already helped you set it up and oh I threw away the old one" from Bianca. Aphrodite chuckled putting it on as she explored her phone, Atlas just arrived in his office and met Aphrodite there playing with a phone. "Ahem," he coughed lightly to get her attention. "Oh, good morning sir" she stood up with a bright smile. "Morning, I do not appreciate you playing with your phone during work hours get me my coffee," Atlas said walking into his office while Aphrodite dropped her phone and went to the pantry to get his coffee. Atlas was on his laptop when Aphrodite walked in with his coffee. "Sir your coffee," she said about to drop the coffee when Atlas's hand brushed the coffee allowing it to spill with most of the coffee pouring on Aphrodite's hand. "Shit" Atlas cursed as he stared at his documents that had been ruined while Aphrodite stared at her burnt wrist. "Can't you watch where you are putting it" he yelled angrily while Aphrodite just stared at him. "Sir, you hit the cup, it wasn't my fault," Aphrodite said as picked a tissue paper wiping it off carefully. "Will you just leave I'll call you if I need anything" Atlas said and Aphrodite nodded walking out.

Aphrodite scoffed as she sat down, he made the coffee spill so why was she to blame, she just focused on her work as she planned to only make money here.

Atlas sighed as he ran his hand through his hair, he didn't need this now, she was just too distracting for this job, her dress was provocating, exposing her lean and slender fair legs, her curves were just wow and she had this alluring smile that put him off track and he surprisingly strongly attracted to her, she was a nutcracker he expected her to cower in fear as he got angry at her but she stood up for herself, he liked that from her.

Back at Bianca's apartment, she was watching a movie and eating popcorn when two boys suddenly walked in, turning to look at them she squealed. "Brax, Will" she screamed throwing herself around the two boys. "Baby sis," Braxton said as he ruffled her hair. "Big bro, you didn't tell me you were coming?" Bianca said. "It's a surprise, the maids already took my our stuff up," Will said as he sat on the couch casually. "So where is Aphrodite?" Braxton asked as they both sat on the couch. "Work, she suffered a lot," Bianca said as she sighed, " but thankfully she agreed to live with me away from her ruthless aunt" Bianca continued. "I hope she forgives me" Braxton sighed. "I believe she will, just have hope in yourself," Will said as she patted his shoulder in comfort.

Aphrodite sighed as she stretched her body tiredly, she had been working and was hungry, at the same time, Atlas stepped out of the office. "Let's go for lunch," Atlas said as he stared at her. "Um I don't think it's appropriate to go out for lunch with my boss," Aphrodite said. "Am not asking you, am ordering you, get your stuff let's go" Atlas said as Aphrodite reluctantly grabbed her handbag as they left Roy Corp. They got to a world-class restaurant with private rooms, the room had two couches facing each other and a table in between, only a red bulb illuminated the room giving it a faint scent of hibiscus flowers. "So what would you like to order" Atlas asked as he stared at the menu leisurely as he flipped through the pages. "Um, anything would be fine," Aphrodite said, she didn't like the idea of being alone with a man but was just putting up with it for the sake of her job. "Okay, waiter!" Atlas called the waiter who walked in almost immediately. "What can I get you sir and ma'am" the waiter said politely. "We'll have Steak Gorgonzola Flatbread, garlic soup, and some chocolate cheesecake," Atlas said, nodding as the waiter wrote everything down. "Your food will be ready shortly," he said walking out.

Aphrodite took her phone since it was ringing as she answered. "Hey bestie, what's up?" Bianca said. "Am tired, how about you just laying around I suppose?" Aphrodite said as Atlas just stared at her lips as they moved seductively as she talked. "Yeah, can you come home a bit early today?" Bianca asked. "I'll try," Aphrodite said. "Alright later then, "Bianca said as she hung up, putting her phone back in her bag, she looked up and didn't see Atlas around. We

Standing up she turned only to bump into a hard surface, looking up she met a pair of deep black eyes, stepping back a bit she blushed as she saw it was her boss. "S...sir, I thought you left," Aphrodite said as she tried giving them a little distance. "Well I didn't, you look really beautiful," Atlas said putting his hands on the table behind her as she leaned backward. "Yh sir, this is inappropriate" She pushed against Atlas's chest trying to push him off instead he leaned closer till she was lying down on the table and placed a kiss on her succulent lips.
