Page 6 of Getting Down to Business

“I could still be getting laid if she hadn’t forced me to come in this morning,” Mia said with a fake snarl before flipping her straight black hair out of her eyes and walking off.

“Glad you could be here. Have a great day!” Alyssa called after her with a laugh. She could still hear Mia grumbling the whole way to her cubicle. She was in too good of a mood to care.

“This guy must have rocked your world.” Freddie rolled his eyes and headed to his desk across the aisle from Alyssa.

Alyssa had to admit, the sex had been amazing. Gray had taken his time to make sure it was good for her. But how long could that last? She couldn’t give in to his two-night stand theory. It was best to let things go when they were good. Like knowing when to end a beloved sitcom before you make a mess of it.

She nodded in agreement with her decision and got to work.

Unfortunately, her job was not as gratifying as her evening with Grayson Hollinger III.

With her business degree from Syracuse and her ambitious drive, she should have been working her own accounts by now, but she wasn’t. For the most part, she was doing data entry.

But she would keep trying. Every time one of the family members got bored and left the company, it meant another chance for her to move up. Surely she would have her turn at some point. Until then, she would wait patiently.

Her bright outlook lasted only twenty minutes longer. Her phone lit up with a text from Sasha.

I don’t think this roommate thing is working out anymore.

“Son of a bitch.”
