Finally he raises his head towards me and I lose all my means. God he is beautiful! He gets up, walks around his desk and approaches me. He walks over to me and smiles as he holds out his hand.

Wesley: Hello Ashley.

And here I am in front of him with a dead and villainous voice.

Me: Hello Wesley.

He shakes my hand and I smell his intoxicating perfume, the scent of which I vaguely recognize. His sentence brings me back to reality.

Wesley: Please take a seat. I was expecting you at 10 a.m.

Me: yes sorry for the delay, I already had something planned at 10am, I should have called to let them know.

Wesley: That's okay. What have you been up to since high school?

Looking me straight in the eye, my heart started racing again. I felt awkward, he troubled me. His gaze on me like that I did not understand why it put me in this state.

Me: I...I just finished my master's degree in marketing, and I'm looking for a job.

I hand him my ridiculous file without any professional experience apart from numerous internships each year.

Me: As you can see, I don't really have any professional experience, which is why it's a bit complicated for me to find something.

Wesley: I see, so you never worked at 26?

This question gave me the effect of a slap. I was not expecting a job interview like this. I thought he would tell me about high school, about his weakness for me, and that I would see that flame in his eyes, which shone in his intimidated gaze that 12 years ago. But no, it looks like I wasn't interested in him.

Me: No, as you can see. I preferred to focus on my training because I wanted to finish my studies. I did a lot of professional internships so I can work and learn quickly I think.

He didn't seem very convinced by my answer but put down my resume and gave me a polite smile before continuing.

Wesley: Fine, I'll see what I can do and get back to you shortly.

Wow was that all? His phone rang. He waved his hand apologetically and I heard him talking on the phone. It was a person who worked for him obviously because I heard instructions.

He hung up and his phone immediately rang. He talked about what he wanted to eat that evening and was silent for a moment then smiled lovingly, obviously it was his wife. This idea suddenly made me very uncomfortable without my understanding why.

I took advantage that he was turned in profile to ogle him. How handsome he had become. He was no longer the same shy boy, he had become a handsome, confident, charming young man. When he turned to me, surprising my inquisitive gaze on him, I turned my head embarrassed and began to look at my feet. He hung up and got up.

Wesley: Let me walk you home. It was a pleasure to see you again. I have your contact details I will contact you as soon as possible, okay?

Hmm, I didn't expect that at all. That it is so formal, in no way impressed or sensitive. My pride took a hit holding her hand with my smile as I stood up. Ben say so he had really gained confidence the bastard.

Me: Thanks for having me. Have a good day see you soon.

I almost ran for the door to show him that I wasn't begging him. It was always me, I was in control, I was beautiful, I was strong. I hope he saw my buttocks molded in this dress, that he had smelled my perfume and had also seen the big ring on my finger.

I didn't come here because he was my only hope. I closed the door and left.

As soon as I got downstairs I called Emmy.

Me: Emmy… hey I just got out of your Wesley's office there, is that the snobbery you wanted to see? The very serious guy there like big boss and all.

Emmy: Hahaha you're going to kill me with laughter one day. So he was waxing him?

Me: No, but it's not the same young man anymore. The guy is ready you see right? You feel a CEO, he has no time to waste I did 2 minutes in his office it's as if he was chasing me.

Emmy: Hunt how? Two minutes how? It's almost 11 a.m.

Me: I arrived late my girlfriend, I went to see my uncle who was not there.

Emmy: You too Ashley, what did you expect? There's something he sends you. Boss people like that hate being late. He gives you an appointment at 10 a.m. so at 10:31 he has another appointment.

Me: ohh sorry he's more boss than who? Short end. I would be surprised if he reminded me he did not seem convinced by my speech as I have zero professional experience.

Emmy: And you're dumber than who? You have to start somewhere and who better than someone who yaaa to hire you?

Me: Ahhh? I'm sorry, that's in the past, eh, it's as if he didn't even know me. In any case, you and I are eating together tonight, right?

Emmy: Ohh not today miss I have too much to do.

Me: Yes fiddling with other women's bodies. Ok unworthy friend we call each other then.

I hung up smiling. I quickly left, shaking the dust off my shoes. Sorry that this Wesley has his bad luck there. That he pays how much to his employees first of all? And then he thinks he's a boss ignoring me, Ashley the "STAR".

You'll see that it's even the kind of company that tells employees to start first, we'll see if we can pay you afterwards. Besides, it's too cold in their premises there? Is it the morgue or the fishmonger? I don't even see myself working there.

I made a quick trip to the dry cleaners to retrieve my darling's belongings. I had a lot to do for the errands of the house that day. My mind came back without warning to this famous Wesley. It's like my mind refuses to tell me what it's thinking.

I say he is more handsome than who? And he was the one who had a crush on me when I was a teenager, not me. No, I had never noticed him", he had never been my style of man, but today, today my God.

Something had happened inside me. I once again chased this guy from my mind. Anyway, I wasn't going to see him anymore. But it still shocked me that he didn't seem to find me beautiful or remember how much he had fallen for me.

️

I went about my business when I was done with all that it was 6pm, I headed home. Humm William my darling was already there. Once inside he almost jumped on me.

Yes I know he loves me, he drags me into the bedroom and makes love to me without a word. It's good, it's sweet, too sweet? I open my eyes to savor the moment and see above me Wesley looking down at me with a sexy, devastating smile.

I jumped slightly because the one I felt on me, the one making love to me, the one giving me so much pleasure was Wesley and not William in whose arms I was.

William: What is it my love?

Me: Nothing... I'm looking at you because I love you...

It's 9am, I get up yawning but hey, you have to know that unemployment is sometimes good. Sleeping in is a rare commodity for many people. I try to get up and realize that I'm stuck on the bed. At night I made love with William my darling physically and Wesley in my head.

I smile lovingly because William tucked me in like a chawarma before leaving. I love him, he's so considerate of me, sometimes I feel like I don't deserve him especially when I think about last night.

No, I refuse to think about that, my mind insists, it wants to remember, to immerse itself in this perverse idea, but I won't give in. I get up and go to freshen up. I check my phone, my uncle called me.

I called him back and he told me that I'm looking for a job and where is he? He told me that it is a small problem, to go to his office if I have time that he will put me in contact with Human Resources. This uncle is crazy huh because he asked me not to put on my sexys that I often wear at home until my buttocks turn there.

I hang up laughing and that's it. Wesley's communication box case where I was yesterday, I don't even know what bad luck had taken me to soil myself there.

I dressed soberly this morning, black top and straight skirt. I have not very high heels and I left after giving the instructions to the cleaning lady. I stopped for croissants before going to my meeting with my uncle.

2 hours later, I leave my uncle's office with a promise of employment on a 3-month trial. I don't know why I haven't been there since. I am the only niece of uncle Boniface, the only daughter of his late sister, I should have known that he would be there to support me.

The days followed and resembled each other, I had to start at the beginning of May. So I had two weeks left to take advantage of my unemployment. I had forgotten and put behind me the brief Wesley episode, I no longer needed to work for or with him.

Today is Saturday, me and Emmy have to go to the salon and not just any: Salon. Biggest living room in town. I find her at 10 a.m. and it's a day of relaxation and gossip. I get to the living room before her and sit down waiting for her. I'm handling my phone when I see an imposing young man coming out of the cabin in front of me.

I look for his gaze and I feel my breathing racing before understanding. That's him, that's Wesley. Hmm what a coincidence. I haven't seen him once in 12 years and there twice in the same month. I lower my head too late he saw me. Here he comes towards me. What the fuck does he want? He is in front of me. I stand up smiling and hold out my hand.

Me: Hello, what are you doing here?

"You" ? What made me say that? It's a little weird like I'm talking to a kid. I wanted to make the girl too sure of herself.

Wesley: Hi, I popped in, actually the living room belongs to my wife.

Me: ha ok... Ah I see.

"I'll never set foot there again" I thought softly. Without any reason. It just pissed me off.

Wesley: And you? Alright, I was going to call you.

Me: Oh yes and why?

Wesley: But how come why? Are you still looking for a job?

Me: Well, not really.

« And toc take that in your face, Mr. CEO »

Wesley: Ah okay. Otherwise I wanted to offer you a job with me, you should stop by to read my offer if you haven't decided yet. It might interest you.

Wow I didn't expect that. I have always been looking for work and now I find myself with two job offers at the same time.

Me: I thought my lack of experience disqualified me.

Wesley: No, you've had a good education and you fit the profile I'm looking for. I'm not going to detail everything here but if you have a moment spent at my office on Monday we'll discuss it okay?

Me: Alright that's fine, I'll be there.

There again I had answered mechanically. I didn't want to go there, I didn't want to see him anymore, I found him enough. And he had to understand that I was not a loser to whom he wanted to offer a job. Emmy walked in at that moment and I saw the astonishment on her face right away.

Emmy: Hey hello you. What are you two doing here?

She gave Wesley 2 kisses and hugged me. I didn't give him a kiss when I greeted him.

Me: We're not both here, I just ran into him here in his wife's living room.

Emmy: Really?

She started chatting with him and I took the opportunity to look at him. He was dressed in black pants and a white linen shirt too, he was impeccable this guy, how good he smelled. I wasn't listening to what they were saying, I saw him pass his tongue over his lips mechanically. It was so sexy.

Emmy: Shall we go Ashley? Hey hoo Ashley, come down to earth.

Emmy's voice snapped me out of my reverie, the two of them looking at me. Ouch. It was the second time he had caught me staring at him.

Me: Yes let's go. Ben Wesley, I'll be over soon.

I held out my hand to her under Emmy's questioning gaze, saying in my head « Ashley pull yourself together, forget it, it's William you love. »
