Something About Lorelei(10)
“You don’t know if you’re buying the right condoms?” he asked with a smile.
“They aren’t for me. They’re for my boss, a man I just started working for about an hour ago. My first mission was to take his suit to the cleaners and then he sends me to buy his condoms.”
The clerk cocked his head. “These wouldn’t happen to be for Mr. Sutton, would they?”
My heart started racing. You have got to be kidding me.
“Yes, they are.” I frowned.
The clerk nodded his head. “I’ll be right back.” He took the box with him and, a few seconds later, he returned with a box of Magnum XL. “These are the ones Mr. Sutton uses.”
I shook my head in disgust. “And how do you know this?”
He laughed. “You’re not the first PA of his that he’s sent to buy his condoms.”
“Thank you.” I paid for the condoms, shoved them in my purse, and walked out.
XL? Now I was curious but quickly got that disgusting thought out of my head. He was my boss and I shouldn’t be thinking about his penis.
When I arrived back to the office, I knocked on the door and he told me to come in. Reaching into my purse, I pulled out the box of condoms and set them on his desk.
“Thank you, and you got the right ones.” He smiled. “How did you know?”
“The nice man behind the counter told me.”
“Ah, you must have met Juan. Good guy.”
I began to walk out of his office and stopped when I reached the door. Turning around, I spoke, “Extra-large?”
He arched his brow and smirked at me. I took in a deep breath and quietly went to my desk.

Jack
She was thinking about my cock and that made me happy, but my happy thoughts fell away as soon as my mother walked into my office.
“Hello, Jack. Did you approve the final layout for the editorial spread for next month’s issue?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Good. Now who’s that outside your office?”
“She’s my new PA and her name is Lorelei.”
“What happened to Amber?”
I shrugged. “She quit.”
“Good grief. You’re just as bad as I am. Anyway, I want to do a launch of next month’s magazine featuring Vidal. So set something up. This is important because he’s a new, up and coming designer with an amazing eye and his work should be noticed. It’s our job to make that happen.”
“Of course. I’ll get on that right away.”
“Good. Also, I’m having dinner at the house tonight and I want you there. Coco and Joshua will be there as well. Seven o’clock sharp.”
“I have plans tonight.”
“Cancel them. Family is more important. Ta-ta, darling.”
I rolled my eyes and called Lorelei into my office.
“We’re going to be doing a launch for a designer next month. Here is a list of venues we normally use. Call them and see if anything is available for Friday, October 2nd. Once we have the venue in place, you’ll need to order invitations. There’s a list of people you are to invite in a file on your computer.”
“Yes, Mr. Sutton.”
“That’s all, Lorelei. You may go back to your desk.”
She gave me a small nod and, as she was walking out of my office, I couldn’t help myself. “Ahem, Lorelei.”
“Yes.” She turned and looked at me with her gorgeous blue eyes.
“Are you still thinking about my cock?” I smirked.#p#分页标题#e#
“Actually, I’ve already forgotten about it and I don’t care to think about it again.”
The small smile on my face quickly dissipated when she said that. She was going to be a challenge. But soon enough, she’d break.
Chapter Seven
Lorelei
I took my sketchbook to Central Park and sat under the tree to sketch and eat my lunch. It was a beautiful September day and I needed to get out of the office. Between the spilt coffee and the condom buying, I was already exhausted and my day was only half over. I couldn’t stop thinking about Hope and how I wished I could be there after school to pick her up. Getting back into the work routine after being off for two months was hard. As I was sketching, my business phone rang.
“Hello.”
“Where are you?” Jack asked.
“I’m on lunch. I told you I was leaving.”
“That’s right. I forgot. On your way back, stop at Pickle Deli and pick me up a corned beef sandwich. Just tell them it’s for me. They know exactly how I like it.”
“Yes, Mr. Sutton.”
Click.
I took the phone from my ear and looked at it. He couldn’t say thank you or goodbye? This job was going to be challenging. Correction, Jack Sutton was going to be challenging, but I had no choice. I needed this job, especially if I was thinking about moving.
