“Okay so, this is your office and for now these are the files I need you to look into” William says stacking a pile of files on my desk after he shows me around the office.

It too an entire day to familiarize myself with all the floors considering this damn building had a hundred of them, William was more than kind enough to actually sit with me and tell me what all those floors were for but to be honest my mind drifted off to many places as he explained so hence I don’t remember much.

My basic job is too check the files that are sent to my desk, keep tabs on the people working on my floor and be at the beck and call of my so called boss.

A call interrupts my typing and I pick the landline placing it to my ear.

“My office!” he says and hangs up.

I sigh making my way to the 95th floor for the 50th time in this week, yes it’s been a week since I joined Goldberg LTD and like every other business company, this too had very hectic days in the start but patting myself on the back and staying a week without any troubles or delays.

Ofcourse, apart from the silly needs of his highness which I’m sure today is the same.

My snap away from my bitter thoughts as I hear the elevator ting and open to his private office, I look toward his desk and see him missing. I look around, spotting him lay on the couch and I make my way toward him, my heels tapping on the marble floor with every step I took.

“You need me?”

“Coffee” he demands and I sigh hopelessly. Sure he could have just told me that when called for me since I have to go all the way back to my floor for the coffee but none the less, I make my way back down and appear in his office again with a hot mocha filled to the brim.

Something I didn’t was his favourite until I started working.

I step into his office and see him back at his desk, rummaging through some papers, I place the coffee on the table and rest my arms on the head of the chair opposite to his own.

“Let William know that I have left for the meeting” he says.

I nod in response, looking at him I suddenly question “Why does he hate me?”

He stops whatever he was doing and looks at me smiling “He thinks you’re submitting to me because I’m a bloody rich hot young adult.

“Must be a privilege to know that you’re not the only one in the world who thinks so highly of yourself” I say sarcasm evident in my voice.

He chuckles “Jealous much?”

I ignore his comment with an eye roll.

He gets up, wearing his blazer and walks over to me, giving me a peck on my cheek “I’ll come pick you up once I’m done” saying this he leaves the office.

I sit at his desk on the boss seat, taking in his scent and the way the chair is too big for me.

I push the chair behind as it rolls on its wheels and turn around, facing the glass windows. The view of the beautiful city, ant like people walking about, those once huge trees that seem so tiny now.

So this is what it feels to be on top of the world, my whole life I've looked up at tall building. Now I'm the one looking down from them, all thanks to Eugene.
I never thought I would get to work in a place like this, sure the diner was what I had in mind but this is beautiful and being an assistant is a very highly paid job in big companies, so by the end of summer break I should hopefully clear the debt with Karen.

"Eugene I need you to sign these papers" I hear William, immediately breaking me from my trance and turn my chair around at him.

He pauses and looks at me "Just because you're his girlfriend, doesn't mean you can sit on his chair" he says placing the files on the desk.

I stare at him for a while.

"What?" He questions.

"I'm not with Eugene for his money" I say.

He looks at me and then away.

"I don't care. Where is Eugene?"

"Oh, he said he's gone for some meeting."

"And you were waiting to tell me this until now?"

"I forgot?" I say more like a question.

He sighs, shaking his head hopelessly "Fine, you're done for the day. You can leave."

"Eugene said he'd pick me after he's done."

"Fine then, I'm leaving." saying this, he walks out.
I walk back down to my floor and see as most of the people were getting ready to leave while the others still sat at their desk with a few unfinished files.

I mostly remember a few people’s names by now and a distinct characteristic about them, I walk to my office and sit on the chair looking at the people in the cubicles near me.

Right in front of me is Lucy, she is probably the youngest here and her distinct feature is her fiery red hair, to her right pass two cubicles is Jonathan, the only man who can’t work without a constant cup of coffee. Then we have Lysander definitely a lady’s man in the entire company and finally we have Marco, the quiet individual although I wouldn’t be surprised if he is not actually an introvert with his girlfriend and family.

I rest my head on the chair and yawn, I was too tired to go back up to Eugene’s office so I just shut my eyes, trying to take some rest but find myself dozing off and it was lights out within seconds.

***

I feel the familiar warmth of a hand as it gently shook me awake, I open my eyes at Eugene. He was sitting on his knees and resting his hand on my face.

’“Hey why didn’t you sleep in my office.” He questions.

I sit up from my slumped posture and rub my eyes “Too tired to walk back up. What time did you come?”

“A while back. Come on lets go home.”

I get up from my seat and grab my bag, he intertwines his hand in mine and we make our way to the elevator. I see that I was the only one on my floor, I guess everyone must have gone back home seeing as it is already past eight in the late evening.

“I’m sorry I got late” Eugene says looking down at me as we travel down the elevator.

I chuckle “That’s not your fault, I know how meetings are.”

He looks at me with a serious expression and walks closer to me, he places his forehead on mine with his eyes shut and I look at his beautiful features.

“Can I kiss you?” he questions opening his eyes and looking into mine.

I don’t hesitant and immediately place my lips on his, I feel him flinch with the surprise but then relax as ours lips move in the perfect rhythm. He presses his body close to mine, pushing me to the wall.

I wished that time would just stop right now and I didn’t want anyone to interrupt us like it’s always been.

The kiss lasted longer than any of the previous ones, he pulled away and his lips travelled to my neck placing sweet kisses on it, I titled my head giving him more access.

I was feeling his heat as his body was pressed on mine, my chest to his, his right leg between both of mine, his hand on my waist and the other in my hair. I could feel all the heat his body had.

I wanted this, I needed this. This is what I had been missing in my life, I knew this was more than just like but I had to know if he felt he same or not.

“Eugene” I say trying to stop his kissing although I didn’t want to.

He doesn’t budge at first so I call him again, he stops and rests his head on mine, his eyes shut again and his breath heavy.

“I need to know what you feel” I say my eyes closed.
He moves his head away from mine and hold both my hands in his, looking into my eyes.

“Go on a date with me.”

I can’t help the smile that appear and he pecks my lips.
He drops me home and I run straight to my bed, covering my face with a pillow, I couldn’t help but be happy knowing that he might feel the same way. I lay on my back and look up at the wonder woman poster on my ceiling.

I close my eyes and take myself back to the elevator, his lips on mine, his body on me and the warmth that radiated through it and I didn’t need any other indication that my mind, body and heart needed more of Eugene Goldberg.
