Kate
"Today's going to be a good day.
"Today's going to be a good day."
I kept chanting to myself as I made my way towards my office desk. I peeked inside Xavier's office and saw that he was not yet in.
I wonder what's keeping him occupied to the point that he's not come to work on time, like he always does.
As I sorted out Xavier's schedule for the day, I received a bunch of notifications from our department's employee group chat. I scrolled through them, interested to see what was going on.
'She's so freaking pretty!'
'and she's so on par with him. They truly deserve each other, I'm so jealous.'
'Right? Imagine how cute their kids will look!'
'Girl, they'll be so freaking cute!'
'Guys, she just smiled at me.' Faye, the receptionist said.
'Really? I'm so jealous.'
'She's now entered the elevator with boss. Guys, I can't believe I'm in the same elevator as them!'
'That means they're going to his office.'
'Kate, over to you.'
'Yes, Kate. Tell us everything you see and hear.'
'Don't leave anything out.'
'Hey Kate, is she really pretty in person? Come on, tell us.'
The strings of chats kept coming in, and I just felt even worse.
Today's gonna be a good day.
What a joke!
"Good morning, Kate."
Xavier greeted me with the mighty Riley by his side. They were too close to my liking.
She looked even more breathtaking up close. How can someone glow so much?
I'm so jealous of her.
I evy her, and I hate myself for it.
"Riley, this is Kate, my personal assistant. Kate, this is Riley."
"It's nice to finally meet you."
That pang of jealousy crept back into my heart as I shook her smooth, soft hand. On top of it all, she smells so freaking good.
"Same here, ma'am." I politely responded. Trying to keep the dismay from showing on my face.
Riley looked intently at me, like she's already caught onto my feelings for her fiancé. My gut feeling is always right.
She chuckled and smirked at me, like she was amused. Xavier lead her into his office, closing the door behind him.
It had been a couple of minutes since the two of them entered Xavier's office. I could already figure out what's going on.
Riley is an influential A-list model. I'm guessing she's gonna work with us for the upcoming beauty collection.I'll be seeing more of her, I guess.
Just my luck.
