Chapter 1
Sally Yates, 24, looked at her belongings all packed up. She was getting ready to leave her home. She had just landed a job at McComb Industries in New York City. It was a huge step in her life. Leaving the comfort of Nebraska for the hustle and bustle of the big city was a huge step and one she was very excited about.
Up until this point her life had been fairly boring. In high school, she had been a student who had forgone all the activities. Instead she had chosen to make herself smarter and study while the other kids had focused on becoming cheerleaders and anything else that would make them popular among the crowd.
There were times she had regretted her choices, but right now as she waited to go to the airport, this was not one of them.
But even then, there were still many things to be happy about. She had won a scholarship to Kearny State and without it, she would never been able to attend college. Unfortunately, her parents were poor and struggling to keep their farm going.
This was one of the reasons why she decided to focus on her studies instead of planning to work with her parents on the farm, and all of her hard work paid off when she had received the letter telling her she had gotten a full ride scholarship at the University.
Sally discovered that college life was more distracting than high school had ever been. Many of her friends had tried to talk her into attending parties at the sororities and fraternities on campus. She hadn’t turned all the invitations down, but when her grades had begun to slide downward, she had started to refocus again in hopes of graduating near the top of her class.
She had been hoping to land a job at McComb industries in either the marketing department or something else. Somewhere she would be able to show her knowledge and work her way up the corporate ladder.
Sally had sent her resume out to Silas McComb and had been shocked when she received a reply back from the man himself.
Dear Ms. Yates,
I would like to interview you for a position in my company. Your grades in school and your current work position show that you are a talented person. My company would like to fly you out to New York, and you will have an interview with me on May 2nd. We will provide a place for you to stay while you are in town for the interview as well.
Silas McComb
She had done a dance of delight when she had gotten the letter. She now had a chance to meet the most brilliant man in the world, the man she’d had a crush on from age 16. Her hopes were to get the job, and maybe possibly catch his eyes. However, her delight was dashed slightly as she thought of his wife, and the fact that she had morals.
***
Her first trip to New York had excited her, but made her nervous as well. The atmosphere of the big city was a lot different from the laid back atmosphere of Kearney, Nebraska.
When she had her interview with Silas she had been extremely nervous as well as excited about the possible opportunity to work in a company ran by a man who she had admired for many years.
Meeting him in person had been offsetting for a bit. He was much more charismatic in person than he was in his videos. She could feel his excitement at his work as they talked, and it made her long to win the position even more.
“Tell me Sally why should I hire you to work at McComb Industries?” Silas had asked.
“I am a hard worker, and I learn quickly. I think I would be a very reliable member of the team and would give my 110% at this company.” Sally said with confidence.
“Sally I’m impressed by your schooling, tell me what was your favorite course?” Silas had questioned.
“Well, I liked many of them, but if I had to pick just one class, I would have to say graphic design class. I loved the chance to be creative with the computer and I learned a lot about working with many programs.” Sally had said.
“Hmm, okay. Sally where do you see yourself in 5 years?” He had asked next.
Her immediate thought had been, in your arms, but she couldn’t very well say that. “I hope to still be working at McComb Industries in more of a leadership role, taking the company’s success to an international scale.”
“Alright, well I’ll be getting back with you. I want to thank you for coming out to visit me. I hope the rest of your stay in New York is pleasant.” Silas had ended the conversation and interview.
Sally was sure she had blown it but tried her best not to think about it for the rest of the evening.
***
Two days later, Sally received an offer from McComb Industries. They had hired her as Silas’ Executive Assistant. Even though it wasn’t the position she was hoping to get, she was glad that it gave her the foot in the door and work hard to move her way up in the company. She was also happy about the opportunity to get out of Nebraska and work for this man who she found not only interesting but quite attractive. Silas had been so personable during that first interview she had found herself wanting to get to know him better.
But Sally knew that Silas wasn’t looking for anything more than an Assistant. After all he was married to a very beautiful woman. Sally had seen their pictures in some business articles and the couple had always looked happy.
Her mind still liked to play through fantasies where Silas would come to her and sweep her off of her feet; telling her she was beautiful and that he wanted her.
She sighed one last time and looked around the little apartment she had lived in the last two years. “Goodbye Nebraska, New York here I come!” She walked out the door, carrying her one suitcase and backpack. Her new life was awaiting her.
Chapter 2
She had secured a small apartment near her new job. It was nothing big, but would work for her. Perhaps one day she would be able to afford something larger and in a better area. But this place had been close enough she could take the metro to work and it was a place for her to sleep at night.
Sally unpacked some of her belongings and settled in, the next day she was to report for her new job. Her excitement was barely contained as she picked out her outfit for the next work day. She picked a cute little dress that accentuated her curves perfectly, but was still modest enough to wear in an office. Yes she would admit to only herself that she was dressing up to impress Silas.
Her parents had been sad, but still happy for her. They knew that Sally had goals to do great in the business world, and that it would never happen if she lived in Nebraska.
They had made her promise to call them if not every day at least once a week to let them know how she was doing. Her mom had been nervous about Sally moving to New York.
“You need to be careful there many bad people in the city. Don’t trust just anyone
pick your friends wisely.” Her mom had said to her.
“Sally don’t forget to call as often as you can. Your mother will make me come and find you if you don’t.” Her father had laughed.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ll make sure I call and update you as often as I can.” Sally had tried to calm their nerves, even as hers had been operating at high alert.
***
Her trip to New York was non-eventful, besides almost getting ran over by a cab while she crossed the street to her new apartment. She looked up at the building where she had rented a room, and smiled. The elevator was out of order, so she had to carry her backpack and suitcase up seven flights of stairs to get to her apartment.
Sally started unpacking the few clothes she had and began arranging them in their rightful place. Her room was definitely tiny, but it was all that she could afford at the time and was happy with it. She shrugged her shoulders; At least I get to work with Silas, she said to herself with a smile.
***
Sally picked up her cell phone and decided to call her parents. “Hey mom and dad I got here safely in the new place and just unpacking my things.” She said when they answered.
“You know you can always come back home if you find you don’t like it there.” Her mother stated.
“I’m not a quitter mom. I’ll be just fine!” Sally said.
“I know honey, but you know I’m just nervous about all the bad people.”
“I’m a big girl mom. I’ll be careful don’t worry please.”
“Okay honey I’ll try. I miss you so much already.”
“I miss you guys too.” Sally commented. “Look I have to go and buy a few things to put in the refrigerator so I can have something to eat tonight.”
“Okay, be careful when you go out.” Her mom said.
She had hung up the phone and walked to the nearby store. Picking up the essentials she would need to keep at her house. Sally put her frozen pasta in the microwave while she skimmed though several television channels.
The noises outside were like a symphony to her ears. She could hear the hustle and bustle of the people moving about the city. It was so different from the quietness she had been accustomed to her whole life.
That night as she took a shower, she prepared for bed and couldn’t help but let the excitement of seeing Silas once more overtake her thoughts.
Chapter 3
Walking into the office the next day she went to the receptionist and introduced herself. “Hi, I’m Sally Yates, the new executive assistant.”
“Welcome to McComb Industries. Here is a packet I was supposed to give you. If you want you can go read it in the conference room. Mr. McComb will be in to get you in a little bit.” The girl handed her a packet of papers.
“Thank you.”
“My name is Melissa by the way, if you need anything let me know. I’ve lived her my whole life, and I know it can be a challenge for someone moving to New York.” The girl said.
“Thank you Melissa, I may take you up on that offer. I’m not really sure where much is located.” Sally said.
“Sure anytime.” Melissa smiled at Sally.
Sally went into the conference room and opened up the packet. There was general information about the business, all of which she already knew. Plus a page that outlined her job responsibilities and office policies. She skimmed through everything and signed at the bottom of the page.
As she was finishing up reading the papers and signing the last one she felt someone enter the room. Looking up her breath caught in her throat as she saw Silas. He was dressed in casual pants and a polo shirt. The shirt hung open just enough so she could see the spattering of gray and brown hair that was on his chest. Her mouth watered as she wished that he didn’t have his shirt on.
For a man of 40 Silas was in tremendous shape. His body looked like an athlete, she was sure he worked out. She tried to reign in her thoughts of lust quickly so that it wouldn’t show on her face.
“Hello Sally, how was your trip back to New York?” He asked, his face friendly and he smiled.
“It was nice. I found a little place that put me near the metro and I was able to get to work fairly quickly.” She told him.
“Great. So did you have a chance to go through all the papers?” He asked.
“Yes I did and I signed them as well.” She pushed the packet across the table to him.
Their hands touched as he grabbed the packet. She noticed how they lingered a second longer than they should have and saw something cross over his eyes. It made her breathing speed up again and her thoughts of sexy Silas speed to the forefront of her mind.
“Do you have any questions?” He asked.
She wished to ask him what his naked body looked like under those clothes, but instead said, “No I think I understand everything about my job. I’m sure I can learn anything I’m not sure of, and be a modal employee.”
“Great, let me show you to your office.” Silas stood up.
He let her walk out of the room first, she could smell his cologne as he walked behind her. Not only does he look amazing, but his scent is one of my favorites, she thought to herself.
Silas put his hand on her lower back to guide her to the office that would now be hers. His touch felt like hot steel against her skin, even though the material of her dress was in between his skin and hers. She wanted him to touch her more than just this way. Oh Sally, get your damn libido under control will you, she chastised herself quietly.
He stopped at a door that had his name on it and opened it. “Isn’t this your office?” Sally asked.
“My office is through the next-door over there.” He said pointing to a door that was on the right side of the room.
Sally’s heart fluttered realizing just how close she would be working with Silas. “This office is huge!” She commented.
“Well, not really, if you see mine, this one will seem small.” He said as he opened the door to his main office.
She walked into the room and was amazed by the view. “Wow the city looks amazing from here. You have a fantastic view. I bet at night all the lights in the city look beautiful!’ She commented.
“Yes the city looks amazing from here at night.” He said. “The view is quiet breathtaking, even now.” He added.
Sally turned to see he was looking directly at her as he said the words. Her skin turned bright red, but she honestly didn’t want to read more into his comment, so she tried to calm her beating heart. Surely he was not flirting with her, she knew she was nothing compared to his wife.
“I need you to take some dictation this morning and put a memo out to the company.” Silas said.
Sally went back out into the other room to grab a paper and a pen. When she walked into his office again, his back was to her and he was looking out the window.
She cleared her throat to let him know she was back and ready to work. He turned and smiled at her. “You know the perspective of someone new in the office has reminded me of how beautiful this city really is, thank you.”
Sally wasn’t sure how to respond to his comment.
“Come over here and look again.” Silas motioned for her to come to the window. Sally walked over to him and looked down at the view again.
“I would never get tired of this view.” She stated.
He looked like he wanted to say something else to her but he didn’t say anything. “Okay let’s get to work.” Silas said as he sat down on a chair. He had pulled one out beside it and motioned for Sally to join him. She walked to the chair and sat beside him, deeply breathing in and smelling the Hugo Boss cologne he had put on this morning.
He begun to recite what he wanted her to put in the memo.
It is with great pleasure that I announce the purchase of McComb Industries newest division. We will be acquiring a division of the pharmaceutical’s company Green Life. Our goals will be to create a new line of medicines that are made of all-natural ingredients. Something that will offer to people a cho
ice that will help them maintain a healthy lifestyle without all the side effects of normal medicines that are currently offered on the market. As always McComb will hope to be on the top of the market with these new products. I have hired a holistic doctor to help with the creation of these medicines. If anyone is interested in working in this new division please send your resume to my new assistant Sally Yates. We will be picking the new team soon.
“Wow this is great news!” Sally said with excitement.
“Yeah I think we are making a good move as a company. I think it will be successful. You know the one thing I’ve learned about pharmaceuticals is that they often harm a person more than help. My mother was put on medicine and instead of helping fix her problems. She instead had more side effects and had to take more medicines to combat those. It was like a cycle that seemed to be never ending.” Silas explained.
“I’ve noticed the same thing. In fact my grandmother died from the side effects of one of the medicines she had been put on to help her.” Sally stated.
“Oh I’m sorry to hear that. If only we would have gotten into this field before perhaps she would still be around.”
“She died when I was five, so it would have been a long time ago, well before people even realized how bad these prescription medicines were.”
He touched her hand, “Well Sally hopefully our company will save other families from suffering through the same issues.”
“Yes perhaps your mom will be able to get the help needed by some of the new medicines we create!” Sally smiled at him.
“I can only hope we aren’t too late to help her!” Silas commented.
“Me too” she said, as she placed her hand on his. He didn’t move away from her instead he left his hand there and looked at her seriously.
“You know my wife thinks I’m only hoping for something that will never happen. She doesn’t believe in holistic medicine at all.” Silas stated.
