Brent slowly helped her to stand up on her feet and then took up the stool from the floor Miss Albert, you recently took employment in the company so please be careful, I can't afford you getting injured,"
Jessy realized he had changed his tone of voice with the others standing alongside him now. "I am sorry, I won't let it happen again, Sir."
Brent observed how shakey she was still looking, becoming concerned he asked, "Will you be alright now?"
Bending her head in embarrassment, when she notices all eyes are on her, "Yes sir, I am, and thank you for saving me! I promise to be more careful in the future."
Miss John stood next to Brent and said, "Boss, have you given her a new position in the Company?"
Looking at Miss John, Brent furrowed his brow, "I supposed I did! And why are you all here, have you completed your work?"
The others heard him saying as he turned towards them, "You all can return to your task, and Miss John I will need those reports next five minutes."
Turning once more to Jessy ignoring Miss John, knowing she was about to protest and said with confidence, "Miss Albert is not hurt."
From the way he spoke, Jessy suspected immediately he was agitated about something so she didn't reply to him and just looked at the others who were still staring her down. She could see envy and jealousy written all over their faces. Jessy knew then they all louted her, especially Miss John.
The only person who sympathized with her was Miss James who instructed the others to move on quickly at that moment.
Miss John had no choice but to follow the orders, she wanted to refute Miss James'' but in front of the Boss, she held her tongue and followed the command.
Jessy did not take her eyes off Miss John and she could see from the expression on her face, that she wanted to make a point but she just did as everyone did and left without saying what was on her mind. Thinking that was a good thing because she would have been more embarrassed.
When they all left the staff room Jessy closed her eyes feeling so relieved when Brent held her shoulder and said please sit down we are alone now, the others have left."
Jessy decided to do as he asked, but when she turned around her foot landed on a plastic bag and she slipped.
She misbalances and her body bounces straight into him causing her face to be so close to his face.
Seeing her face so close to his, Brent whispers, "Are you seducing me, Miss Albert?"
Their eyes were just an inch away, and their nose almost touched each other.
Looking into his eyes Jessy could see his wicked smile and understand how inappropriate she was looking in his sight.
Embarrassment enveloped her mind as Jessy thought at that moment 'If only the earth could open up and swallow her, her heart would be contented and satisfied.'
