His Beautiful Addiction

No-one dared come later than Nicklaus, thus by the time he arrived, everyone was already in the company. Fredrick was going through some documents he would show to him when he heard some footsteps approach;

He raised his eyes and when he saw his boss, he immediately greeted, but his greeting hinged on his throat as his eyes fell on the person behind him.

Fredrick froze instantly;

Was that a woman beside his… boss?

He raised his hands and wiped his eyes immediately to be sure he wasn't seeing things.

Who is she?

He was sure it wasn't a client because he arranged the meetings himself, so who was she?

He was lost staring at both of them and he didn't hear when Nicklaus ordered him to follow him into his office.

Tiana stared at Fredrick, who had his mouth half open; she wondered if she had a stain on her face;

''Fredrick! ''

Nicklaus blared when he entered his office and realized that Fredrick wasn't following behind.

''Yes, Boss! ''

He replied and quickly stumbled into the office.

Tiana was standing by the side as he approached; she had her hands to her side as she watched him walk to Nicklaus table;

''Go tell the Legal department to prepare a contract; ''

Nicklaus said, as he scribbled something on the paper in front of him;

''With this ''

He handed the paper to Fredrick, who read the contents and his eyes shot at Tiana immediately;

HIS PA?!

He was already his PA. Why did he need another, or was he sacking him?

Fredrick was shocked to his marrows;

Did something happen to his boss over the weekend?

He recently gave him a salary raise now he was getting another pa, what did he do wrong?

Fredrick ransacked his head, as he tried to remember where he had gone wrong;

''Fredrick, did you hear me or not? ''

Fredrick was kicked out of his thoughts by his boss's stern voice; he immediately bowed a little and walked out of the office.

As soon as Fredrick was out of the office, Nicklaus put on his computer and started going through his emails and reports, ignoring Tiana who was standing in front of him.

Tiana was on heels so after standing for a long while, her legs ached, but she did not say a word to him; she just continued standing.

Although Nicklaus didn't want to pay attention to her, he found his eyes darting towards her once in a while; he noticed that she was shifting her weight from one leg to the other. He tried to ignore her, but he could no longer concentrate on his work;

He sat upright on the chair and narrowed his eyes trying to keep her out of his head but it was not possible with her standing right in front of him.

Angrily; he turned to her;

''Will you keep standing there dancing like a fish out of water or are you going to find somewhere to sit?''

Nicklaus blared but Tiana didn't even flinch. She watched him for a moment before taking a seat in front of him.

How would she sit when he had not offered one?!

She mumbled in her head; as she sat down, his eyes involuntarily flickered over her boobs and her outlined cleavage which the blouse had exposed generously, and reflexively he remembered what she looked like the day before, naked in front of him. Instantly his throat tightened;

''No, not here, go over there. ''

He pointed to the mini parlor in his office and Tiana quietly stood up and walked towards the parlor.

Nicklaus rubbed his face with one hand; why was he thinking of her naked?

This was really getting out of hand. How was he going to work with her, with the pictures of her naked body engraved in his head?

He wondered as forced his eyes to remain glued to the computer in front of him.

He was the one who asked her to be his pa, he could not possibly go back on his words; else he'll look like a big joke!

He was still fighting with his thoughts when a knock came on the door, and he quickly sat upright;

'" Come in. ''

He said and Fredrick walked into his office, his face a little sullen, knowing that he had lost his job.

He walked to Nicklaus and placed the contract in front of him.

Nicklaus picked it from the table and went through it; after reading through he instructed Fredrick to go call Tiana over.

''Go through it and sign; ''

He said to her as she sat down in front of him; tossing the document to her front. Tiana picked the document and opened it. There was a lot of gibberish written in small letters that she couldn't understand neither did she want to, what she was more interested in was her pay;

She flipped through the pages and her eyes scanned through the letters until they stopped on the numbers she was itching to see;

''25,000 dollars!!!! ''

Tiana's heart skipped a beat. In her entire life she had not seen such a huge sum. If she worked for four months, she would have a hundred thousand dollars, which was enough to pay off her father's debts and even have enough to spare.

She could take good care of her sister and herself comfortably and even start something doing!

Maybe everything was a blessing in disguise after all.

Without a second thought she took a pen from the pen holder and signed her name sweetly on the blank spot, then pushed the contract document across to Nicklaus.

Although she was excited about the money, she did well not to show it.

Nicklaus flipped through the pages and signed on his spot.

''Make photocopies and give her one, I'll keep the original.''

He said, handing the contract to Fredrick.

''When do I start work? ''

Tiana asked as Fredrick turned around to go do what Nicklaus had asked;

Nicklaus glanced at her briefly but he didn't reply to her statement;

Tiana watched him and his forever-aloof -expression and she rolled her eyes;

It was not as though she forced him to make her his pa. If he would not reply to her questions, he shouldn't have asked her to work for him in the first place!
