I had barely been back at my desk for an hour when my desk phone began ringing. I looked at the caller ID, and saw that it was Theresa, Ballard’s personal assistant. I picked up.
“Hold for Mr. Ballard, please” came Theresa’s voice. A moment later Ballard came onto the line. “Waterhouse is on his way in to the office.”
“What?” I blurted out in my surprise.
“I called to explain the situation to him and he couldn’t get here fast enough. I had Theresa clear your afternoon meetings. Gavin wants you waiting in his office when he gets here.”
I blinked rapidly. This was all happening too quickly. An hour ago I’d had this man’s cock underneath my tongue, his body spasming in orgasm. Now I was supposed to perform again, on a complete stranger?
“Is there a problem, Nicole?” Ballard’s voice sounded… cool suddenly. I realized I hadn’t said anything for a while.
“No sir, no problem.”
“Good.” He hung up the phone without another word and I sat there, holding the now silence receiver to my ear for a long moment. Taking some calming breaths I stood and went to the women’s restroom, where I dabbed some cold water onto my face. I had to be careful not to mess my makeup up, but I needed something to bring me to focus.
