Cinderella story

„What Harpy?"

I finally asked the question.

„Thomas' wife."

„The Cinderella story?"

I heard about it…Thomas could only process the loss of his family by having a beautiful maid heal the wounds on his soul. Although without pictures, this article appeared everywhere 14 years ago. What's more, this mysterious woman was so popular, because she supported orphanages and volunteered from her own income. In principle, she designed quite a lot of clothes, so that was what she was making money of.

„Cinderella? "

Melody stepped in laughing, she was the CEO's biggest fan at the company.

" That woman was a maid in one of the hotels where Thomas rented a permanent room. She drugged him, and climbed into his bed, then called the reporters to herself… Although the president had made the pictures disappear, that woman did a pretty thorough job, and too many found out about the case in too short a time. So Thomas was forced to marry the harpy, and PR came up with this lucrative story. This is an open secret here at the company… only naive newcomers don't know."

She looked down at me, then walked on.

„This is harsh."

I said. The lives of the rich are really scary…

"But there's only a work-relationship between them, and in spite of that woman being able to marry the Skyfield family, Thomas never touched her…so without a heir, if Thomas dies, she will be kicked out. However the fashion design part is true of the rumors, so she won't be that much without money."

Dereck appeared at the end of the hallway, the gossip nest ruptured at the sight, only I stayed there sipping coffee. The boss was very popular among female workers. Being basically a good-looking, right man, a massive fan team was guaranteed, but because of his position, he was regularly surrounded by colleagues with background intentions. Therefore, before we got together, he had already stated that he already had a fiancé, expected that this did not break the preference of prey-hungry women, but at least there was something to catch the rejection of the plethora of coffee and dinner invitations.

„ What were you talking about?"

He took a mug.

„About the banquet."

"Oh, yes, it's a shame we can't go together."

He mixed the sugar in the coffee.

„ No …I don't need that even shareholders would believe that there is something between us."

„ Who thinks that way?"

"No one says so… but after you call me at the office 3 times a day or show up at me…already "boss's favorite "is my nickname behind my back.+

„Were we too loud on Monday? „

He smiled cheekily.

I hit to his side as he spat out his coffee.

„Look what you did?"

He pointed to the spotted tie.

"That's why you should have coffee served by the assistant."

I left with a smile.

The day of the banquet has finally come, I was very excited because Dereck had predicted he would show me to the big dogs. He was particularly close to the CEO and knew his wife well.

"Actually, she's called a harpy because she came into the company once… because Thomas left something very important in the car and the CEO's assistant was talking about her when she got out of the elevator… and no one appreciates being called a prostitute… So, she avenged herself by coming to the office for coffe… every single day, for a month… and to put it simply, she made the assistant suffer until she left this place. That's why the harpy name stuck to her, but you can only meet her at the banquet anyway, she almost never comes to the center. She shows up at the factory on a daily basis, but the workers there like her because she's really talented. The garmentss he designs are always bestsellers. „

As I tied his tie he spoke quite appreciatively about the woman, making it clear that he had a good relationship with her.

„Yeah really, you started at the factory…"

„ Yes. I'll introduce you to her tonight."

He kissed my forehead proudly.

"You are beautiful!"

My evening dress was chosen by him, a long piece of burgundy with a base open at the back, sleevless, but sewn together with a beautiful long-sleeved lacy bolero. It was really good.

Dereck put on a cream-colored suit, with black shirt. He was so tastefully sexy that I couldn't even describe him anymore… I seriously thought about carrying a mop ... because everyone is guaranteed to drip their saliva after looking at him.
