Chapter #4The Affair by: Unknown It was not your brightest decision.
The office party had been boring, and with no friends to spend time with, you had spent most of the night drinking. You didn’t remember much of what happened besides a gorgeous woman approaching you and flirting as well as laying in a hotel bed beside her.
In the morning, she was gone, but she’d accidentally dropped a receipt with her signature on it: Jenny Hardy.
Fuck, that was Mr. Hardy’s wife! You had been horrified at the realization, but there was no way he would know, right? Jenny wasn’t going to tell him, and you certainly weren’t. You barely ever saw the guy.
You’d almost managed to forget the identity of your one-night stand till shortly after arriving at work the following Monday, one of your coworkers informed you that Mr. Hardy wanted to see you in his office.
The anxiety you were feeling must have been obvious the moment you stepped into the room; you wondered if he noticed how sweaty your hand was when he shook it. Taking a seat across from your boss, you silently pray to whoever might be listening asking them to take pity on you.
“Now, Mark,” Mat said slowly, setting two water bottles down on the desk in front of you. He picks up the one closest to him and takes a sip, gesturing for you to do the same, “I’d like to discuss your position in this company.”
“My position?” You ask, suddenly growing excited as you briefly cast your nerves aside. Trying not to seem too eager, you open your bottle of water and take a long sip.
“Yes,” he says slowly, leaning forward, “I’m afraid the company is not particularly fond of employees that fuck their boss’ wives.”
I’m screwed, you think, anxiously chugging more water before sputtering out. “S-sir, you think…you think I slept with your wife? I…I mean, look at me! Why would she-“
You stop, suddenly feeling lightheaded, and Mat grins. “Don’t worry though, I’m sure we won’t be having any more problems moving forward.”
All you can do is grab at your head and groan, “What did you do to me?”   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
