Chapter 1

"Here you go, Ms. Reyes!" Ashley handed a folder full of important files to Veronica, as she smiled so wide, her eyes almost formed into thin slits.

As she handed the papers, she placed her hands on her boss's desk gently and subtly pushed her arms inwards, making her cleavage more noticeable. She made sure to unbutton at least two buttons of her pink blouse before she came into the office. She also added contour to her already sharp collarbones early this morning just to look more 'scrumptious'.

She topped it all off with a choker wrapped around her throat to accentuate her thin neck. As she waited for her boss's response, she was devasted to receive only a nod and a short response.

"Thank you, Ms. Johnson. You are dismissed." Ashley almost gawked at Veronica, her jaw going slack.

'How can you not notice my effort?!' she thought as she stared at her boss who just continued to scribble on the papers. With disbelief in her eyes, and eyebrows furrowed together in confusion, she rolled her eyes inwardly at the lack of reaction.

She was expecting something along the lines of "Your blouse is too distracting, cover up if you don't want me to fuck you over my desk." or maybe just a "You're really hot today. Want to fuck?"

It both included sexual acts after sexual advances and she even thought that maybe she can walk out of the office with disheveled hair and a satisfied grin after. However, the result she got was far from her imagination. If it was anyone else, they would have at least stared at her with lust pooling in their eyes.

Veronica looked up at her secretary through her long lashes, slender fingers halting their movement as she spoke up with her unusually deep (but, admittedly hot) voice. She wore a dark blue blouse with some transparent lacy material around her shoulders, making her tattoos peak through.

Damn, no one asked her to look this good today.

"Do you need something, Ms. Johnson?"

"Ah, no, Ma'am. I was just…leaving. Yes, err, call for me when you need anything." Ashley put on a tight-lipped smile as she shook her head. Veronica nodded, not looking at her as she went back to writing.

The former huffed inwardly as she squinted her eyes for a short moment before bowing and turning back to walk out of the room and to her desk.

Once she was outside, her smile immediately dropped and instead, formed into a grumpy frown. She groaned and stomped her foot like a child that couldn't get the toy they wanted, aware that her boss's office is sound-proofed anyway.

"What the hell is wrong with her!? Are her eyes blind? Does she need laser surgery or does she really have no taste? Like, I'm here being cute and hot, you know?" Ashley ranted as she stomped her way to her desk, fists swinging beside her as her heels angrily clicked against the ground. She sat on her chair with a thump and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

As she was occupied by her thoughts, she didn't notice a certain blonde-haired girl walking towards her desk, humming a random tune.

"Ms. Ashley. You alright there?" Ashley lifted her head to see her co-worker, Audrei peering down at her with curious eyes. A few strands fell over her face, framing her bone structure and making her look cuter. The secretary's plump lips curled into a sweet smile, standing up as she greeted the other woman.

"Ah, Ms. Audrei! Hello there. What are you doing here?"

"Ah, I'm just here to drop the notes in from the meeting earlier this morning." Audrei showed Ashley a couple of papers and handed it to her before smiling. She leaned over the desk as her eyes stared into the boss's secretary.

"I see, thank you." Ashley took the papers before storing them in one of her drawers. As she closed the compartment, she bent over to get something else from a lower drawer, making Audrei's eyes shift towards her firm and plump bottom. The former can feel the gaze on her ass as she stood up, inwardly smirking.

"Is everything cool, by the way? You looked like the whole world was on your shoulders." Audrei asked after licking her dry lips, somehow managing not to stare at Ashley anymore. The latter looked at her co-worker before sighing.

She placed her hands on her desk for support and leaned closer, making the other woman's breath hitch. Ashley was only an inch taller than Audrei but as she came closer, it only seemed like she loomed over the blonde-haired woman.

"I have a question!"

"Wh-what?"

"Do I look bad today?" Ashley asked as she leaned closer to Audrei. The former stared into the other's eyes, making sure she doesn't look anywhere else. A tense silence filled the room as the blond-haired girl struggled to respond. As she was about to answer back after a few seconds, she was abruptly interrupted by a slam of the door, making her halt.

"Ms. Johnson." Both Ashley and Audrei turned their heads to see their boss with one of her hands in her pockets and her face seemingly displeased. The secretary flinched at what seems to be a darkening aura around her boss as she looked away.

The boss's eyes bored into the blonde-haired woman's, glare piercing and cold. If looks could kill, she would have dropped dead, six feet underground by now at Veronica's harsh gaze.

"I suggest you do what you're told instead of flirting with your co-workers right in front of my office. That is unless you already want to lose your job in your first week of work?"

"Ah, but you know, I-" Ashley was cut off when Veronica's harsh glare was directed towards her now. "Yes, ma'am! I apologize."

"Good. Now, get back to work." Ashley watched as Veronica walked away, and her eyes can't seem to focus on anything else besides the woman's ass. She shook her head and tore her eyes away from the woman before turning back to Audrei.

"Well, you heard her! I'll get back to writing my reports, haha…." Ashley chuckled awkwardly before sitting on her desk again. As she sighed, Audrei called out to her and caught her attention.

"Ms. Ashley." She watched the blonde-haired woman almost stumble over her words as she avoided the slightly taller woman's eyes. "F-for the record, you don't look bad today, at all."

"Thank-"

"I have to go now!" Audrei squeaked before running off almost stumbling over herself. Ashley watched her with a smirk on her face, regaining her confidence again. She turned back to her work before muttering to herself.

"Just you watch, boss. You'll be fawning over me in no time!"
