Jaycob Muggins
I woke up to my head pounding. It hurts so much.
I guess I shouldn't have drank so much last night. Regretting my decision of drinking last night I turned to my right only to see a blond sleeping naked next to me. I smirked as the memories of last night came back to me. She was amazing.
But unfortunately she's gotta go.
Without waking her up I move off of the bed and get into the shower.
The shower felt great and relaxing. If I could stay in the shower all day I would but unfortunately I have to work. I didn't mind working, actually I loved it.
I am the CEO of a multibillion dollar company. I know I might sound like a workaholic but I enjoy being in the office because it's peaceful like a safe haven and I can do what I do best. Although I have to admit it can be stressful at times or most of the times
I quickly wrapped a towel around my waist and left the bathroom. Before my foot steps past the threshold of the bathroom I am greeted by my little blond friend. "Good morning Jay" Alicia, I think, said very seductively as she put her hand on my chest as she moves closer to me
"Good morning" I said without emotion as I removed her hand from my bare chest and walked around her. As I did I could see her fJay fall. "What's wrong? I thought you liked me Alicia was now pouting at me. Ha. I laughed to myself. Like that is going to work sweetheart.
"I liked you for one night not forever". I had said with a smirk on my face. With that said she lets out a loud gasp.
"What! How could you, you used me? I couldn't believe that Alicia was now shedding tears. Oh honey, so many people have tried that but not going to work. I thought to myself.
I rolled my eyes at her little show, "now don't you dare make me look like the bad guy here, you knew what you were getting yourself into last night. I clearly told you that this" I said pointing between Alicia and I "is only for one night.
As those words left my mouth. I saw Alicia had come right for my face at full speed: but I caught her hand before it hit my face. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO MEI HOW COULD YOU USE ME?" Is she really accusing me of "using" her?
"Oh no don't you dare accuse me of using you because if we go back to the bar there is video surveillance that you" I said pointing at her willingly came with me and me telling you that this was a one night thing" I was upset now. She will not be accused of doing something I didn't do.
"Whatever" was all she had to say. I knew it was fake because she dropped her tears fast, but I won't have anymore of her after what she had just said. "Now I was going to let you stay for breakfast but since you started this whole drama, I insist that you leave now while you can or I call security". I won't tolerate her. I don't tolerate anybody.
"WHAT !! ARE YOU REALLY KICKING ME OUT?" She shrieked. Man I am starting to really really really hate this woman. I still have a hangover from last night but on top of that I have a drama queen yelling at me first thing in the morning. "Be quiet and get out" I yelled back. I mean although the shower helped I still can't deal with this.
She huffed and put her clothes on very angrily and stomped out of my room. When I finally heard the door slam I left my room and went to the kitchen and made myself some green tea.
Once I made my tea I went out to the terrJay and sat down and enjoyed my tea.
After finishing my tea I left for work. Today was not a very busy day but today I had to hire a new assistant because my current assistant was going to leave in about 2 weeks to go back to Ohio so she could be near her parents.
I really didn't want to hire someone else because I can be a little complicated to deal with when.
"Good morning Mr. Muggins" I was greeted by the receptionist in the lobby of my office building.
As I made my way up to the top of the building I was greeted by my assistant Larry "Good morning Mr. Muggins. Today all you have to do is hire someone to be your new assistant and read the reports of all of the departments and make sure everything is alright.
"Okay Larry, in about 15 minutes let them in one by one." I say to my assistant as I head into my office.
"Alright Mr. Muggins."
Ryle Stone
I got up early today and I was so EXCITED! I had my first interview for an assistant job at Muggins international. AH. I was so excited. I had taken a nice long shower and a very good breakfast and now was struggling on what to wear.
After staring at my closet for a good 15 minutes I decided to wear a black pencil skirt that ended right above my knee with a royal red blouse. And paired it with a black pair of heels. As for my hair, I had just gone with a high pony. I looked sophisticated yet stylish and young.
I looked at my clock and realized that if I didn't leave now I was going to be late. So I quickly got in my car and left. On my way to my interview I got caught in traffic. "No no no.
I can't be late" I said out loud. Although no one could hear me, I still yelled.
When I finally left the traffic I saw an accident. I felt so bad for the people but I had to get to my interview. "Sorry guys but today is a big day and I can't be late" I said to myself and greated the people but they couldn't hear me.
After a good 10 minutes of driving I finally parked my car in front of a shiny tall building. This was it, this is my first interview. I took a deep breath and walked in.
"Thank you" I said to the man who opened the door for me.
As I walked in, my breath was taken away by the well decorated lobby. It was beautiful. There was a huge chandelier and leather sofas for people waiting. The windows and doors were all spotless not a single finger print on the glass
I walked to the receptionist's desk which was marble and asked her. "Hi, um I am here to interview for the job of Mr. Muggins's new assistant". I told the skinny blond head. "Oh okay so here is what you want to do. First go down this hallway and you will see an elevator on your right. Then take the elevator to the 49th floor. When you get off there will be another receptionist named Virginia and she will direct you the rest of the way" she said, smiling at me. "Thank you" with that said I left.
The elevator ride was very awkward since it was filled with men. They were all just staring at me. They stared at me like they had never even seen a woman. I am not that beautiful. I mean I was average and not beautiful.
Shoving my other thoughts to the side. I think about who I might potentially be working for. The man is only 29 and a Billionaire. He took over his father's company at the age of 26. He is very intelligent and everyone can see that but the guy is the most arrogant person you will ever meet. He goes through women like clothes. No joke. Everyday he is seen with some other girl on his arm. What I don't understand is why do the girls even say yes to him. But then again who could say "no" to him either. I mean he has those beautiful blue eyes, brunette hair, perfect length if I might say so myself, not too long but not too short , just perfect and well that body.
I was soon pulled out of my thoughts as the door opened for the 49th floor.
I quickly made my way to the reception.
"Hello, um am here to interview for the PA position for Mr. Muggins" I told the receptionist. She smiled and gave me a number then showed me to the elevator but she had to punch in a code for me to get up to the floor.
The elevator ride seemed to be like an hour long. Could I do this? Was I good enough? You know what I can do. But there are probably people there who are more qualified than me. No. No. No. I yelled at myself. Stop telling yourself you can't do this, you totally can. You are a strong independent woman, you can do anything you put your mind to.
After the elevator finally opened and luckily thanks to my pep talk I gave myself. I finally had the nerve to walk onto the floor. I walked a little forward and the first thing I saw shocked the fuck out of me. The women. So many women. They were all so beautiful.
Then there was me. I mean I wouldn't call myself ugly but I wasn't like them. I was about 5.6, a Burnett, 24 years old, and I made sure to take care of my body and eat healthy and workout. My friends call me beautiful all the time but then again they are my friends. But these women. They were something new. They all were way better looking than me.
Though they might look nice, are they qualified? They could just be here relying on their looks to get the job but I was relying on my qualifications. I thought to myself. Come on Ryle you can do this. I gave myself another pep talk and started walking towards the couch and chairs filled with women.
They were all wearing clothes that were very revealing. There was a blond that was wearing a red mini dress and clung to her body like a snake and another was wearing a mini skirt with a blouse that was almost all open back. Then there was me all dressed up professionally and all. I don't stand a chance. I was internally laughing at myself but also very nervous. Well, more than before.
As soon as I came into sight they all stopped talking and stared at me. I felt like a deer caught in the headlights. I get very nervous when I have all the attention on me.
Luckily a girl finally came out of the office and broke the tension in the room; but she looked like she got rejected. which she probably did because she had rejection written all over her face. A woman then exited the room right after her. She looked like she was in her mid 30's, she was dressed professionally, and had her hair done in a tight bun.
"Number 7" she called and walked back in. A girl got up and fixed her outfit and walked into the office.
Slowly one by one everyone went in but none came out very happy. My confidence was not very high. Some even came out crying. What did the man say that made everyone cry? Will I fail too? I was the last one waiting. I am very frightened now. I mean so many girls didn't make it, if they stood no chance what would happen to me. It could be true that they weren't qualified enough. I don't know maybe I was brought back to reality as I heard the woman from earlier say "Number 30, please come".
I quickly composed myself and went in after the woman.

As far as everyone was concerned, William had married Renee under duress. Now that his one true love was back—and with child—they couldn’t wait for him to abandon Renee. Surprisingly, Renee was candid about the situation. "To be honest, I’m the one asking for a divorce every single day. I want it even more than any of you!" But they brushed off her remark as a paltry attempt to save face. Until William made a declaration himself. "Divorce is out of the question. Anyone who spreads false rumors shall face legal consequences!" Renee was at a loss. What was this crazy man up to now?
Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
