down and Taylor sits next to me with a few other people on our team — Chris, Sarah, Amie and Jean. Everyone on the team is nice, and I like working with them. They’re easygoing and thankfully seem to have no drama.
During the week I’ve been working close to sixty hours a week with the lists of projects we have. Sometimes I don’t make it home and spend the night here in the office. On the other side of the building there are rooms for associates who work late. It’s like a mini studio and has what we need. Sharp is quite generous, and he’d rather have us here than risk driving home when we’re exhausted.
But during the week, Sharp and I have been talking through text and sometimes the phone. Each time my phone vibrates, a smile comes on my face because I know it’s him. Sharp’s doing something to me, and I’m not going to fight it. I don’t want to fight it.
“So, you’re divorced now?”
“Not final yet. He’s living in an apartment downtown though, and I still have the house. Not sure for how much longer though, but we haven’t talked.”
“That’s a good sign, Camila. So now you can do what you want with me.”
I do want that, but I can’t. Sharp’s my manager, and I have no idea who he is or what he looks like. Not that it matters, but I’d like to know. “We’ll see.”
“Once you feel my tongue you’ll think differently.”
Bringing my hand to where it needs to go, I let out a soft moan. My mouth clamps shut, and I shut my eyes. Fuck!
“Camila?”
“Yes?”
“Keep going. Don’t be ashamed. Think about me while you’re touching yourself. Always think about me.”
Taylor presses a few buttons on the phone and a voice comes on the line. For some reason I’m nervous. This is my first meeting with Sharp, and I’m not sure what to expect.
“Taylor fill me in on the progress. Where are we with RGH, Strong, Highland and Unity?”
I hand Taylor my hospital notes and error sheets. That’s the thing about Sharp Security. We pride ourselves with high accuracy and low error rates. As soon as the cameras and system start malfunctioning, Sharp has people on it immediately.
“Good, Sharp. Nothing to report with the hospitals.”
“Camila.”
“Yes?” Why’s he talking to me? I look at Taylor with wide eyes.
“What are you working on now?”
“I’m updating Bank One’s site and working on the kinks.”
“What kinks? Taylor, what the fuck is she talking about?” He rustles papers and there’s silence in the room. Everyone’s looking at me, but no one’s saying anything. Taylor scribbles on a piece of paper.
What the hell are you talking about?
One of the links is broken and SSL is out of date. It’s bad!
Sharp’s gonna be pissed! Why didn’t you tell me?
Just found out!
“Everyone out!” Sharp yells on the phone.
I shake my head looking at Taylor for answers, but they listen to him and leave the room. It’s just me and Sharp, and I’m ready to pee my pants.
“Explain.”
I tell him about the site and broken links, letting him know it’s been fixed, and I’m upgrading the SSL, secure socket layer. He listens, and I’m surprised he’s not interrupting me. “Everything is back to normal, but we should keep an eye on their site. I received their hack attempts, and it’s high.”
“I see.” Silence. I don’t know if he’s impressed or mad. “Well, next time be sure to fucking tell me as soon as you find out!”
“Why are you mad at me? I solved the issue and…”
“Is your name on the building? Does it say Ellison Security?”
“No.”
“Exactly. I need to know these things or you can find yourself a new job. If you can,” he scoffs.
“I am very smart and good with my job! I’ve helped Taylor with the project lists, and now we’re up to date! There’s no backlog!”
“And?” Don’t cry, Cam. Don’t cry. “Am I supposed to be impressed? Because I’m not. This is your job. Can you handle this?”
“Y-yes.”
“No. I
