Chapter Seventy–Six–Talk Of The Office.
Alyssa
As the work begins. I step into the office on Monday morning. Wyan dropped me off at my place early this morning because he had a conference cousing him to arrive at the office early. People are staring and whispering as I make my way to the office. What is going on? As I glance at everyone they all become quiet. Are they talking about me? What have I missed? I rush into my office and lean against the closed door.
I placed my belongings on my desk before heading over to Wyatt’s office next door,
Hey, have I missed something? What’s the reason behind all the staring and talking?” I ask nervously
He looks at me, a concerned look on his face. He lets out a sigh and runs his fingers through his hair. He is making me
“Wyatt. I need to know what’s happening
“Everyone knows about us.
“Wait, what? What do you mean?” I panic.
anxious
“Everyone in the office knows about us. It seems like someone at the event recognized us and spread the news. Now everyone in the office knows, Kitten,
I am sorry. I know this isn’t what you wanted.”
I collapse onto the couch and cover my face with my hands. Why is it so hard for people to just mind their own business? Great now I will be known
as the office where who is screwing the boss. How cliché of me,
“I can’t believe this is happening.” I whimper.
Wyatt sits beside me and gently places his hand on my knew “Hey, beautiful, no need to be upset,
I jump to my feet glaring at him. “Maybe not for you. Wyatt. You aren’t going to be the one who will be known as the fucking office whore. You are
not the one who will need in deal with the criticism that will be me
This situation is far from being okay. This is why I didn’t wa
want anyone iis find out.” I snap
My outburst seems to have caught Wyan off guard. What kind of reaction does he anticipate from me? Nobody will speak to him or gossip about him. IF
they do, they could be fired, but they have no reason not to do all of that to me. I’m just Wyatt’s assistant, a nobody. He doesn’t seem to understand
“Alyssa, there’s no need for you to wor
to worry. I promise I’ll make sure to x this.” he sighs.
“No, you won’t do anything. You will make things worse. Leave it.” I exclaim and return to my office, closing the door between mine and his.
I need a moment to myself. He hates it when I close the door, but I think he will leave it this morning. He knows I am not in the mood. I lay my head
on my desk. 1 resist shedding tears, even though a part of me longs to weep. I had a feeling that attending the event was not a good decision. I should
have stayed home
I groan in frustration. I gather my thoughts and attempt to concentrate on my tasks. I plan on hiding in here for the rest of the day unless I really need to leave. I don’t even want to imagine what people are saying about me. I let out a sigh and run my fingers through my hair. There’s a part of me that
wants to escape und spend the day at hume,
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door between the offices. Wyatt approts.
“Are you okay, beautful?” he asks softly and rests against my desk.
am not okay, Wyan. I don’t even want to leave the office.”
He reaches for my hand and links our fingers. “I am sorry this has happened. Alyssa, but I promise it will be okay. I have your back, I know it is a lot
to take in, but at least we don’t nad to hide now
“Wyan. I appreciate you trying to make me feel better, but it ba’t going to work.” I say honestly.
ran I help you fest better?”
I shake my head. “No, not right now, I just want to concentrate on work, nothing else.”
He gries a nod and plants a kiss on the top of my boud, saying “Mright, I will leave you so it. I am right next door if you need me.
He sighs, and
returns to his office. I shouldn’t be surprised. It was boghd to come out, eventually, I thought it would take longer than this. Today is going to be a very long day.
I spent most of the day hiding in my office. I didn’t want to leave, but I had, so use the bathroom. I am in one of the stalls doing my business when i hear the door open. I am not leaving this stall until whoever it is, is gone.

“I thought those two were scr
The voice said. I couldn’t identify the speaker.
“I didn’t expect Alyssa to be that way. Just watch. She’ll be promoted in no time,
“Yes, but damn, I can’t help but feel a bit envious, I wouldn’t mind a piece of bois man.” The first one plodes.
They continue to talk about Wyatt and me. Not surprisingly, all the things they said about him were positive, while everything they said about me was negative and judgmental. The tears I’ve been holding back all day finally break free and stream down my face,
I need to get out of here. I wait until I know I am the only one left before exiting the still. I wash my hands and rush back to my office. I keep my head down, not looking at anyone, even though they were looking at me.
I collect my belongings and pork into Wyatt’s office.
Hey, angel, is everything alright?”
I don’t feel well, I am going home. If you need me, call me.”
I don’t give him a chance to say another word. I leave the place swiftly, head so my car, and hit the road back home. My phone won’t stop ringing. Wyatt is trying to call, but I don’t want to answer. Although I don’t hold him responsible, I currently not some time alone. There’s no need for Wyan to be aware of what was said in the bathroom. I don’t want to be the reason samine loses their job. It would make everything worse.
I think I may be sick for the next couple of days. I usually don’t back down, but this situation is an exception, I have an idea of what people think about me. let’s hope people forget about it soon and shift their attention elsewhere.
When I
got home, I saw that Wyatt called me four times and sent two tests. I text him back.
I am okay. I just need to be alone right now, I will call you laser tonight. I am sorry I ran off, but I couldn’t stay in the office, not today us
I know Wyatt w
well enough by now to know he will end up showing up at my place as soon as he is done with work.
No, it is okay, angel. I understand. I will come by after work and bring dinner and wine, I am sorry. Alyssa *
See you then xx
I put my cell on silent and toss myself on the sala, I bury my face in a cushion and screamed into it. It made me feel a little better. I never expected in find myself in a situation where I would have a romantic relationship with my boss, but that’s where I am now. No, I can’t say shit like that, ther connection goes beyond just physical intimacy. If Wyatt and I had met in a different way, life would be simpler.
