Love is Inferno

Chapter 6

A/N: Hi everyone! I just want to say that I hope you are enjoying the book. Don't forget to vote and comment :) 

"Atlanta Roan!" Sasha exclaims while she struts up to my cubicle.

"Sasha Bailey!" I turn in my chair to face her. "What do I owe the pleasure?"  

 "You already know Atlanta." She whispers to me with a sly smile. 

I give her a confused look but she keeps walking to the middle of the office.

"Hello everyone!" She exclaims which makes everyone pause what they are doing and look at her. "Some of you may have heard some rumors." She pauses to look at me and smirks. 

Oh god.

"You all know how I feel about rumors and gossip in the workplace but I can make an excuse for this one because it isn't an actual rumor."

There are gasps throughout the office.

"Yes that is right. Matthew Rogue is going to be one of our clients. He has agreed to wear some of our outfits that our very own Atlanta will be designing."

Everyone looks at me and I sink in my chair.

"Who knows how many he'll wear and where to but it is the fact that he has agreed and it will be great publicity for our company. He just has to like the outfits but I have no doubt that whatever Atlanta creates, he will love. Any questions?" Sasha looks around the room but everyone shakes their heads. "Oh, one more thing!" She remarked. "I will be observing the interns this week." 

The interns all go pale.

"Don't worry." She laughs after noticing their faces. "No one is getting fired today. This is actually something good. As some of you know, Atlanta will not be able to make the full outfits so we will need one to two people to help sew the outfits and listen to her plans and ideas." She pauses to gauge everyone's reactions. "Now of course if you aren't an intern and are interested then you can talk to me. I just know that this will take up a lot of time and most of you already work too much." She looks around again. "Okay that is it." She exclaims with her hands in the air. "Get back to work, especially the interns." She winks at all the interns and walks back to her office with the clicking of her red heels on the tile floor in the hallway. 

I exhale and sit up in my chair. I go back to what I was doing on the computer messaging some clients to make sure that everything is good. Right when I finish talking to one, my phone vibrates on the table. I pick it up to read that I have a message from Sasha.

Come to my office.

I sigh while closing all of the tabs on my computer and push in my chair. I pick up my phone and walk down the hallway to Sasha's office. I see that her blinds are closed so no one can see in which is unusual. I knocked on the door just in case she didn't have a last minute meeting that she forgot about. 

"Come in Atlanta." I hear Sasha say through the closed door.

I take a deep breath not knowing what to expect. Right when I open the door to the office I notice a tall figure across from Sasha who is sitting at the edge of her desk. The tall person turns around and I release a large breath. 

Matthew

We both just stare at each other and Sasha probably feels the awkwardness and decides to clear her throat. We both turn around to look at her. 

"Atlanta, as you can probably tell, no one else knows that Matthew is here and I would like it to stay that way at least for now." She takes a breath. "So that is why I cleared some of the room next to my office so you can do all your measurements and fittings there. Since these are the only rooms down this hallway it should be easy to use the room without any interruptions. There is also the door that is easy access in and out of this floor that no one is allowed to use except for me, Matthew, and now you."
