Robyn woke up as soon as her alarm went off. It was 6:30a.m. She got out of bed quickly. She took a warm shower, and heated a breakfast burrito in the microwave. She wore a steel blue pantsuit, and a pair of white sandals, with a matching purse.

She sat down at the mirror, and started brushing her hair. She grabbed her burrito from the microwave, and ran out the door. She said good morning to the old lady who owned a pastry shop down the street, and ran to the bus stand. Her job was in a different city, which was an hours drive by bus, from where she lived. It was difficult to commute.

After about thirty minutes, the bus arrived. She quickly finished the last bite of her burrito, and got in the bus. She gulped down a bottle of water, and wiped her mouth. It was 7:00a.m. She had to get to the company before 8:30a.m. "It would be more convenient to get an apartment, closer to the company". She said to herself.

When the bus arrived at her stop, she quickly paid with her metro card, and ran towards the company entrance. When she got to the reception, she was out of breath. The receptionist was looking at her strangely.

"Hi I'm the new personal assistant - I just joined the company and I start working from today". She said panting. "Oh you must be Miss Woods. Welcome to our company. Take the lift at the left corner of this corridor, to the 10th floor. The bosses office, is the second door by your right". The receptionist explained with a smile.

She thanked the receptionist, and ran down the corridor. She pushed the button to open the lift. The lift opened and she went in quickly. She was starting to sweat from running all the way. She took out a scrunchy from her purse and put her hair in a ponytail. When she got to the 10th floor, she took in a deep breath and walked out of the lift. "You can do this Robyn". She said to herself.

She walked to the second door, and was about to go in, when he heard an angry voice coming from inside. "I can't believe how useless you are. I gave you one simple task and you couldn't even complete it. Is this how you plan on taking over our branch?!". Mr Crispin was on the phone with his younger brother.

He had assigned him a very important project, but as usual he couldn't handle it. "Relax brother, I didn't think the woman was related to him, and I didn't think someone would be watching me here in Paris". Said his brother.

"Wow Asher, you were supposed to attend the party professionally so that you could meet Mr Stone and sign the contract. But instead, you decided to hook up with some woman to douse the fire between your legs". Crispin was fuming.

" You fucked his younger sister. Why would you? And to make it worse, you told him he wasn't supposed to be angry, because you used protection?!".

Crispin was very angry. He wondered when his brother would become a responsible adult. "Relax Crispin, I'll handle it. You don't have to be so angry". Asher said. Crispin let out a breath he was holding for who knows how long.

"Let me ask you this question Asher. If you had a younger sister, who was still a virgin, would you let a guy like you take her virginity just because he was handsome?!". Crispin said at the top of his voice.

Robyn knew she shouldn't be listening to their conversation, but damn this was juicy. "Okay to be honest, I wouldn't let a guy like me date my younger sister, or touch her. But she wanted it - she pulled me into the room and took off her clothes. But that doesn't mea---".

Crispin clenched his fist. " And you would never turn down a naked woman. Asher we lost the collaboration with Mr Stones company, and we can never get it back. Put yourself in his shoes, and you'd realize that even you would want to kill yourself". Crispin said through gritted teeth.

"Crispin if you saw her body, you would want to fuck her too". Asher said with dreamy eyes. "Oh my God Asher, I can't believe we're from the same family. How did someone as shameless as you become my brother?!".

Asher laughed at the other side. Asher told Crispin he'd be back in London soon, and that he'd find a way to apologize to Mr Stone.

After the call, Crispin had a headache. At that moment, he heard a knock on the door. "Come in..". He said. Robyn walked in.

"Good morning sir. I'm Miss Woods. The new personal assistant". She introduced herself. "Yeah I remember you. Welcome aboard then. You don't have too much work to do. Just schedule meetings, attend dinners and award parties, just basically make sure my day and meetings go smoothly. I must get off work at 8:00p.m. unless I have to work overtime". He said.

"So you must get used to my work speed". He briefed her quickly. Robyn suddenly recognized this man. He was the one who stepped on her at the mall a few days ago. "You're my new boss?!".

She asked looking up at him. He looked at her, but didn't reply. He opened his drawer, and took out a bottle of pills. He put one in his mouth, and swallowed with water. After a few minutes, he said to her: "If you don't want to work under me, then you can resign immediately".

His head was throbbing and he didn't want to argue with her. "If you apologize to me, I might forgive you". She said, crossing her arms over her chest. "Okay I'm sorry. I should've said sorry a long time ago, but it was fun looking at your angry face". He said with his hand to his head.

Robyn noticed that he had a headache. "Do you want me to call a doctor over?". She asked. "No no. I'm fine I took pills already". He said with his eyes closed.

"You sure?". She asked again sounding concerned. "Yeah I'm fine". He said. Robyn stood there for a long time, but she didn't say anything. "Uh.....I'm good with massages. If you'd pay me extra I could give you a head massage". She said. "That's not part of your job as an assistant, but if you do a good job, I'll give you a bonus". He said to her.

She walked behind his chair. "You don't mind people touching you right?". She asked. "Yeah I'm cool with it". He replied. She parted his hair with her fingers, and took out a bottle of essential oil from her purse. She applied a little to her hands, and started massaging.

Crispin relaxed immediately. It was like she had magic in her hands. "Do you always carry essential oils around in your purse?". Crispin asked. "Oddly enough, yes I do. I just really love the smell of tea tree oil". She said. "Does that feel good?". She asked.

"Yes it feels so good". He replied. While she was still massaging him, the secretary walked in. Both of them, didn't even notice his presence. "I'm so sorry sir I'll come back later". He ran away and shut the door quickly. "No no no wait. It's not what you---". He ran out before Robyn could explain. Crispin laughed happily.
