    This wasn't supposed to happen.
    He is my boss.
    I wasn't supposed to love him.
    Now I'm in over my head and I can't escape.

    She wasn't supposed to know me.
    She wasn't supposed to find out.
    She shouldn't have dug deeper.
    She is my employee
    Now she's in over her head and I can't let her leave.

    It's just business.

    About two weeks ago, my father had gotten me a job with a company called Surge System Enterprises. He had made it very clear to avoid the owner, Mr. Sanders. I didn't know why I was supposed to avoid him, and I had wanted to find out. Even the receptionist had told me not to disturb him, and that if he wanted to speak with me, that he would send for me. I wasn't satisfied with that answer, so today I was going to make it my job to find out more about my boss and why the hell I was supposed to stay away from him. He couldn't possibly be that bad could he?

    I climbed out of bed and quickly got dressed. I smoothed my navy dress down before putting my makeup on. Once I was satisfied, I went to the Kitchen and poured myself a travel mug full of coffee before grabbing my bag and my lunch. I walked out of the front door and locked it. I quickly made my way to work, making sure that I wasn't late. That was something my father was very specific about. Don't be late.

    I wasn't completely clueless on who Mr.Sanders was. He was the owner of the company that I worked for. I at least knew what he looked like. He was a handsome man, there was no denying that. Even Hellene Keller could see that. He had short brown hair, deep hazel eyes, and was rather muscular. I had caught glimpses of him walking into the office building before he disappeared into the elevator to go to his office He always kept an intimidating look on his face, I don't think I've ever seen that man smile.

    Pulling into my parking space, I looked to see that his car was already here. He drove a black dodge challenger with red leather interior. It was a nice looking car. Much nicer than mine. I quickly got out of my car, walking inside, I walked past Valary and went straight to my desk to begin my research on my boss. I bit my lip, looking through articalss and everything that I could get my hands on that he was involved in. I could feel a presence behind me. I closed the browser before opening a file that I was actually supposed to be working on. "Yeah Val?" I said, biting my lip as I began to work. "I'm not Valary." was all I heard, those three words made me realize that he was standing behind me.

    (I'm going to apologize right now if this sucks lol)

    Matt

    Ever since Mr. Reinhardt's daughter started working for me, I knew she would be up to no good. I could tell from day one that she was going to give me trouble. She wasn't much younger than me but she had a lot of growing to do.

    I would watch her from my office later on in the weeks as she would try to catch glimpses of me meandering around the building but I was always too quick for her. I could tell she was becoming more and more interested in me, even going so far as to ask the receptionist, Valary, questions about me. Luckily, Val would give her straight to the point answers.

    I didn't want to see her or meet her. It's not that I was a mean guy by any chance, but with my past experiences in life, I didn't need a twenty something year old to get involved in grown up business as I called it.

    However, that didn't stop Annalise from snooping today. I had been up in my office, once again watching the red head on my camera, and even though it was a shitty image, I could clearly see she was snooping around on the internet, trying to uncover any dirt she could find on me.

    So I decided to make my presence known. She didn't even know I had entered her office until she felt eyes on her and when I answered her, telling her I wasn't Valary, I think all the color drained from her already pale face as she turned to face me.

    "Were you trying to dig up some dirt on me?" I asked her, my arms never leaving their crossed position over my chest as I stared her down.

    I suddenly felt any courage that I had, leave my body. Here he was, standing in front of me, looking very unimpressed and slightly angry. My heart was beating so fast that I thought that it would come flying out of my chest at any second. Normally, I was a good liar, but whenever he had been standing there, for I don't even know how long. You couldn't lie about what you were doing when they clearly caught you in the act.

    The way that he looked at me, made me feel smaller than a mouse. I knew I was going to get in trouble. There was absolutely no denying that.

    "I wouldn't say digging up dirt per say," I said, a nervous laugh escaping my lips as I looked into his stern hazel eyes. "You can't blame someone for wanting to know more about their employer. All I know is your name, what you look like and that everyone says to stay away from you. I got curious. I'm sorry sir. It won't happen again." I said to him, hoping that he would be accepting of that answer.

    "You're right, it won't happen again." I said. "So tell me, did you enjoy reading the articles you found on me?" I asked, still looking down at her with my arms crossed over my chest.

    She seemed frightened, which she should be. She shouldn't have been sticking her nose where it didn't belong. There was a reason people like her weren't allowed to know who I was or what I had done, Valary knew very little of what I had done but it was enough to cause her to look the other way when I walked into a room.

    "You know about my life now, so you must know you're going to be stuck working with me forever, right?" I told her.

    I raised an eyebrow whenever he said that I would be stuck working for him forever.

    "I don't know what you think I found, but I can promise you that it wasn't anything worth making me work for you forever." I said. "All I found out about you, was some pictures of you drunk in a bar. I don't think that's worth working for you forever. Especially when I have no intentions of spending the rest of my life in a cubicle." I said.

    there were more times than not, that my mouth got me in trouble because of things I said, and I knew that this was most likely one of those times. I didn't care though. I wasn't going to be stuck in a life time of servitude to some asshole because he thought that he was some big bad ass guy.

    I chuckled, remembering that time from the bar she was talking about. "Still, you know too much." I said as I sat down at her desk, leaning back in her chair.

    "Do you like working here?" I asked her.

    Whenever he asked me if I liked working for him, I wanted to say hell no, but I knew better. "It's okay," I said, looking at him. Being around him made me nervous and exited. "Is it something I want to do for the rest of my life? Absolutely not. Like my father said, it's a good paying job. Twelve dollars an hour to sit in front of a computer and type for eight hours, I wasn't going to pass that up. One day though, I do intend on making a career out of what I went to college for." I said.

    "How is seeing a picture of you drunk in a bar knowing too much?" I questioned, looking at him with confused eyes. "All it tells me is that you like to have a good time at bars. I really hope that you don't have this idea stuck in your head that I'm going to work for you for the rest of my life." I said to him. It's not like he could make me, and I had absolutely no intention of doing so.

    "Hmm." I said as she spoke. I watched her for a moment and got up. "We shall see about that." I said, heading for the door. I stopped and looked at her, "have a good day, Annalise." I said before exiting her office and heading for the elevator.

    Once I was back in my own office, I sat down at my seat and brought up my camera, focusing mainly on Annalise's office. I was going to keep an eye on her for a couple of days.

    I watched him walk away. He was right. I had found out more about him than what I led on. I was very pleased with myself for managing to pull of that lie. I let out a sigh of relief whenever he was gone. There was only one way that he could have known that I was snooping on him, and that was if he had a camera in my office. I looked around, trying to be as inconspicuous as I could. When I didn't see one infront of me, I slowly turned around. I looked up toward the ceiling to see a white camera with a tiny black lens. I slowly raised my hand up and gave him a wave. I then turned around and pulled a piece of paper out of a tablet. After a moment of writing, I turned around and held it up so that the camera would catch it and so that he could read it.

    I know you're watching me. I hope you're having fun . I waited a moment before putting the paper down and turning around to go back to work. I was smart. I made stupid decisions, but that happened to everyone. I knew that both of my little stunts were stupid decisions, but I didn't really care. At the end of the day, this was just a job to pay the bills. Nothing more. One thing I was going to do after I got off, was research more about Mr. Sanders. I needed to know who I was working for, and the way he acted when he caught me looking for articles on him, made him seem suspicious, and I was beginning to get the feeling that he wasn't a good man.

    "Smart girl." I said to myself. I turned around in my chair and grabbed my phone. I called up two of my guys and asked them to go install cameras in Annalise's apartment so I could keep further watch on her. I sighed as I sat back in my chair, trying to figure out what the duck I was going to do. I knew she uncovered more about me then she was letting on, but I would let her believe the little lie for a while before I confronted her.

    I couldn't work comfortably for the rest of my shift, knowing that my boss was constantly watching me. I even tried putting in earbuds to keep the world around me, out. It didn't work. I sat there patiently waiting for five o clock to roll around. Whenever it finally did, I stood up, collecting the papers that I had printed out before Mr. Sanders even came near my desk. I stuffed them into my purse and punched out before grabbing my coffee cup and sunglasses. I turned my little lamp off and made my way toward the front of the building. I was always one of the last people out, the only other people here was the head honcho and Valary.

    Just as I was heading toward the front door, I heard Valary call my name. I huffed with irritation before walking over to the reception desk. "Mr. Sanders wanted to speak with you before you left today. His office is on the fourth floor. Just knock before you go in. " She said before going back to her computer. I narrowed my eyes slightly before quickly slipping the documents into her paper shredder. I then made my way to the elevator. Waiting patiently, it finally dinged and I walked through. The building was warily quiet, and there was absolutely nobody around. Something didn't feel right, I had kept to my work for the remainder of the day, so why did he want to see me? I walked over to the set of mahogany doors and knocked before entering. Seeing he was on the phone, I was going to stand by the door and wait, but he pointed to the chair across from his desk, a glare on his face. I couldn't tell if it was meant for me or the person he was on the phone with. He hung up and all he said to me was "sit," I hesitated a moment before walking over. I sat down and set my purse down before looking at him. " You wanted to see me sir?" I said, looking into his hazel eyes.

    I looked up as Annalise came in. I was on the phone with my guys, they were still setting up the cameras at her apartment so I was going to have to distract her until they were done. "Well, make it quick." I said to them before hanging up the phone. I sighed and rubbed my face before looking at her.

    "Sorry, important business call." I said as I looked at her. She was very beautiful, I must admit. She seemed shocked or confused because I asked to speak with her.

    "You're probably wondering why I called you up here, it's nothing bad, trust me." I said, playing with the pen on my desk. It was a nervous habit. "I noticed how uncomfortable you were today when you realized I was watching you." I said. "Would you prefer if i stopped watching you at work?" I asked.

    I looked at him confused. "Yes. I would," I said to him. "But I know you don't trust me so I know that even if I ask you to stop you're not going to want to." I said, looking into his hazel eyes.

    Now that I actually had the chance to look at him without him scaring the shit out of me, he was a rather handsome man. He didn't trust me, and I didn't trust him. I watched as he played with the pen on his desk. He was nervous. Why did a man like him have a reason to be nervous about talking to me? I folded my arms across my chest and narrowed my eyes.

    "So you know that I don't trust you, and I know that you don't trust me. So what is the real reason why I'm here?" I asked. "Because if this is to discuss how I'm supposedly going to work for you for the rest of my life, it's not going to happen. I also can tell you're nervous because you're having a hard time looking at me in the eye for more than a couple seconds. Not to mention you can't leave that pen alone." I raised an eyebrow as I waited for him to answer me.

    I looked at her, putting my pen down for a second. "Maybe I'm having a hard time looking at you because you're so beautiful." I tested her, raising an eyebrow of my own as a smirk came across my face.

    I saw the look on her face and that made my smirk turn into a grin. My phone vibrated inside my desk and I pulled it out to see the simple word done showing up from my men.

    I was being hit on by my boss. That was the last thing I needed. It surprised me to say the least. "Well I appreciate the compliment.' I said to him, "but is there a real reason why you called me here?" I asked him.

    I had things to do, one of those things being, going home and drinking an entire bottle of wine before the night was over.

    I watched as he pulled his phone out, I was slowly starting to grow irritated with him. " Can I go or is there a reason why I'm still sitting here?" I asked, my tone coming out harsher than intended. I didn't carew though. Maybe it would make him get to his point quicker. I wanted to go home get out of this fucking dress and relax while I snooped around on the internet to try and find out more about him.

    "Go ahead. Have a nice night, Annalise." I said. I didn't even look up until I heard the door close. I went to the huge windows and looked out them, watching as she soon came out of the front doors and headed for her car.

    After she drove off, I headed back over to my desk to collect my things and then decided to call it a night. I was the last one to get out of there, Valary had already left after sending Annalise to my office.

    When I got home, I went to my study and hooked my phone up to my computer so that I could upload the camera footage I had at Annalise's house onto my computer, that way I didn't have to watch from my phone.

    I finally arrived back at my house. I unlocked the door and immediately kicked my heels off. I limped over to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of wine off of the shelf and a glass. I poured some before taking a sip. I let out a soft sigh and put the glass down. I walked to my bedroom began to unzip my dress.

    I was getting the feeling that I was being watched. I paused for a minute and looked around before finally slipping out of the dress. I walked over to my closet and threw on a shirt, deciding to skip pants. I walked back out of my room and sat down on my couch, it was time to snoop on Mr. Sanders.

    I opened my laptop and typed in the password. I began to try and find some stuff on him while I snipped on my wine. Something didn't feel right about him.

    I had already changed out of my work clothes and into my home clothes. I sat at my computer drinking my beer while watching Annalise on the cameras. I made sure that my men hid them where she wouldn't be able to find them, hopefully.

    I knew she was still trying to snoop on me. I wish she would just stop because that was only going to cause more trouble for her. I sighed as I watched her sit down on the couch with her laptop. I couldn't see the screen but I knew she was looking for more dirt on me.

    After awhile, I had printed out a few things and had gotten bored with trying to find out more about Mr.Sanders. I drank the last of my wine and set the glass down before getting off the couch. I stood up and stretched, my shirt rising up just enough to show my ass.

    I walked over to the kitchen and opened the patio door, my dog Duke running inside. I don't know what had compelled me to get a dog the size of Duke, but I did. I stared out the window for a moment, seeing a black van sitting little ways away. It was suspicious looking, but nothing quite out of the ordinary.

    I chewed on my lip, wondering why my father got me this job in the first place.
