ARIA'S POV….
I rush into the bathroom and grab the neatly folded towel placed on the cabinet, I always make sure to have them placed there but somehow my boss seems oblivious to it.
'Im sure he'll ask me to feed him one day'
I roll my eyes, a hibitual gesture when I'm at work.
Adonis Castillo emerges from the shower, water cascading down his sculpted torso- A sight I didn't allow my gaze linger on.
'lier' My inner self screams.
'Fine, he has this really nice sculpted muscles' That's just it.
With the towel wrapped loosely around his waist, water droplets tickle from his damp hair down his chest tracing the contours of his muscles before disappearing his towel.
I quickly hand him a smaller towel for his head but the butthead sits on the chair and gestures towards his hair.
'My head immediately imagines me dragging at his locks while I scream out loudly'
This man is frustrating.
''Clothes''He asks and I point towards the hanger in his bedroom the one I had set specifically for three pieces black suit tailored to perfection , on a table lay a pair of Tom Ford leather shoes, A patek Phillipe watch, his signature cologne, belt, socks, jewelries-cufflinks, rings, a silver necklace and a diamond studded earring.
'Trust me I even know the colour of his underwear'
'Yikish'
''Coffee,Snacks and your schedule boss'' All these are dropped on another table just besides the one with accessories. Steam wafts from the mug alongside the scent of his favorite snack-A perculiar and weird choice.
''Good job Aria'' A faint smile flickers across his face as he nodded in my direction and I respond with a tight lipped smile, lips pursed and hands clenched.
Internally I am drained but habots persist.
I retrieve the hair dryer, discardedthe towel and stand behind him. His soft locks tempt me to sigh and probably run my hands through them.
Purposefully I move the dryer close to his ear.
"Fuck" Adonis hisses, his head jerked back to glance at me.
"I..sorry sir"
'Definitely not sorry'. I sigh with a hint of amusement.
Some moments later I am done with his hair, drying and gelling it to perfection. My gaze meets his in the mirror, he is tracing his jaw thoughtfully before nodding.
'Huh, he should have done it himself'
'I mean I'm an assistant not a maid, the last time someone tried to help with his hair we saw that even a grown man can throw tantrums'
I approach the hanger and carefully start pulling off each garmet, careful not to ruin his suit.
'A lesson from last time where he had refused to wear the suit because of a small crease and insisted I get it laundered, trust me we missed a meeting worth millions'
''Sir''I call out and hand him the first pieces of garmet, with my back turned U wait for him to get dressed.
"Aria" His voice comes out, gruff and husky.
I turn around only to sigh, finding his white shirt unbottoned with the rest of his clothing set in place and the tie and jacket hangs off his hand.
Without a word, I button up the shirt, his gaze following every movement of mine and that almost makes me do the buttoning wrong as a strange heat crawls up my skin but I ignore it and focus on his tie.
'Argh height difference'
His breath fans against my head as I stand on my tiptoe to fix his tie.
After helping him with his clothes, I grasped the notebook and pen before nodding at him.
Tray of coffee and his snacks on another hand.
I scowl at his back.
'Whoever says he is a gentle man'
Office duty.
''Sir the meeting today is with a minister sent from the royal family''I inform him while scrolling through the tab to verify the details.
''Hmm what do they want'' His voice rings behind me, deep and calculating.
''A customized jewelry set from our jewelry company'' Castillo group as a consiglier is involved in different sections of business and the jewelry section is a favorite amongst elites.
A royal call had come from one of the families we have worked with and they requested a jewelry set made.
''I trust you'll take care of it''He says while adjusting is cufflinks
The elevator opens with a ding and we step out in the living area, the maids present freeze before they quickly scramble out of sight.
'Oddly like Ratatouille'.
We step out of the paint house, the sun now rising and casting a glow on the lush flowers outside.
A black Rolls Royce phantom rolls in front of us and the driver steps out, pulling the back door open.
I pass him a nod in greeting before scrambling into the car.
Behind and right in front I can see the rediculous SUV's that follow him as escorts.
He is not even that important.
The Castillo building looms ahead, it's bold silver letters gleaming at the top, grey clouds drift above as I glance up a fleeting smile crossing my lips.
Walking besides my boss, greetings echoes from employees "Good mornings" He acknowledged some with a nod.
I press the button for the elevator to go up to his office floor and stand beside him my hands holding the apple tab in front.
The elevator set out for the big bad boss-Note the sarcasm, opens up at his floor.
A gasp escapes my lips when I'm suddenly enveloped and lifted up by a pair of strong arms, the breath getting knocked from my lungs.
"Damn" I let out stunned and I'm about to smack the person.
Thank God the coffee and snacks were left with the driver to bring up-Id have had a brooding boss.
All the pair of eyes belonging to the employees on the floor becomes focused on the scene.
He finally lets me down, his arms resting around my waist.
''Good morning Mariposa''A deep voice says that sounds overly joyful for a not so good morning replies.
''Morning jully''I greet back and look up at the man who pouts making me laugh at his expression.
''Don't call me jully Mariposa''He says his nose creased in irritation and I let out a laughat his expression.
Please note: Mariposa started when I declared my love for barbie Mariposa.
''Sorry jully''I tease and he just rolls his eyes before wrapping his arms around my waist.
A clearing of throat from my behind and we both turn around to see boss man with a scowl on his sculpted face, hands in pockets and brows raised in disapproval.
Julian doesn't seem to notice or pretends not to as he grins widely before walking towards him
''Good morning big bro'' Julian says going for a man hug.
Julian Castillio is the youngest son of the Castillio's he is the opposite of my boss you see.
He is fun,lively,a total ladies man and also the best.
He exchanges a few words with my boss before turning back to me and wraps his arm around my waist.
My boss lets out a groan of irritation before glaring at his brother.
''Let go of my assistant Julian'' Adonis says tersely, Julian grins,plants a peck on my cheeks and runs off with a playful bounce.
''See you late mariposa before shreky does something to me''He says loudly and I let out a giggle already used to the clown.
''What's funny'' I instantly freeze at the sound of his voice and a small smile forms
''Nothing sir,Let's go''I direct and start walking towards the meeting room.
