Ashley gasp at the magnificent house she felt like she was in another paradise in third floor, she had only saw it in movies she did not believes it exist until now, lady Ann stopped by a golden door and push it open, Ashley wondered why he brought her to the third floor and not the first floor being his employee but her thought was pushed away by the magnificent view in front of her, the room was painted in white and in the middle of it there's a gigantic bed in pink color, and a mini palor color in white and light pink, with a canopy draped elegantly over it. The room was filled with delicate and intricate furniture, all in shades of pastel colors. Ashley couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and enchantment as she stepped further into the room. As she approached the bed, she noticed the softness of the satin bedsheets and the plushness of the pillows. It was as if the room had been designed for a princess, with attention to every detail. Ashley couldn't fathom why Eric, had brought her here. "do you like this?" Lady Ann ask, Ashley was totally speechless she didn't just like this place she love it but why all this special treatment she frown slightly and look at Ann "is this really my room?" She ask "yes, why?" Lady Ann replied "I am just working with him and?..." Lady Ann cuts in with a slight chuckles "well this place was painted yesterday and Eric suggested white and light pink because he knows you love it" Ashley eyes widen "why?"

"Ashley I've known you before you came" lady Ann said barely in a whisper, Ashley roll her eyes she still can't understand she had known her before she came? Then that explains the meaning of the shock on her face when she met her in the living room but how? Before she snap out of her daze lady Ann was already by the door preparing to leave "and less I forget, Eric room is just right there" without giving her a chance to ask questions she slammed the door on her and leaves, "wait..." Ashley said inhaling sharply why will she leave when she is yet to ask why her room is next to her boss room.

     Few hours after Ashley enter the bathroom and took her bath she changed into comfortable gown and sit on the bed and grab her luggages and unpacked her things she opened the door beside the bathroom with the thought that it was a wardrobe however it was a room she turned on the light just to see a humongous room which was much more bigger than the size of their living room at home one wall was covered with lots of square shelves for shoes and another rectangular wall for bags and other accessories their was a big sliver table at the center of the room covered with jewelry, lipstick in different color and lotion the other rectangular walls had large shelves which were filled with clothes, ball gown in different colors, prom dress, office dress and jacket her jaws fell instantly this was too much for just a p.a she wondered why Eric is giving her such special treatment is it because they use to be friends? She frown slightly at her thought but with that he is damn rich to be able to afford this luxury clothes and house she close the door room and walk towards the bed to unpack her things wether he gave her special treatment or not doesn't matter she is planning on moving out and rent an apartment after receiving her first salary she is going to stay for a while after unpacking her things she pick her phone to call her mum but her number is not going through after trying for few more times she finally gave up and drew in a sharp breath.

Ashley stand by the white and golden doorpost taking two sharp breath she knock on the door twice but got on response, then she knock again "come in" Eric said, Ashley heart pound against her chest, she hesitated for a while and suddenly jerk back when the door opened itself, she puffs her cheeks glancing several times at the door, the magnificent room finally came to view, the room was painted in blue and there was a king sized bed in it with yellow duvet and matching pillowcase, there was a bar and mini palor in the room, Ashley mouth form 'o' but was pulled back at Eric voice "are you coming in or not" he ask "yes? Yes am coming" she entered and saw him sitting on the couch in his mini palor with his leg cross holding magazine, Ashley stood right in front of him trying her best to avoid his gaze but her eyes keeps making their way back to him, he was wearing a white shirt and the two first button were left unbutton and she could easily see his broad chest through it, his blonde hair were messy but it looks good on him, she avert her gaze when he put down his magazine and press a button in the remote he was holding and the door slam close, he yawn and ran his finger through his hair in the most seducing way "you ready? to go for the early morning workout?"
