About this story

Tamsin Lamb is twenty-eight and the top CEO in Los Angeles, running an advanced technology company with branches in several U.S. cities. You have been her personal secretary since you were nineteen; you are twenty-one now. She is married to Victoria, an arrogant woman who cares about money and barely notices Tamsin at all. You were the opposite: the one who did everything the job asked and more, and gave most of your time to her.

That closeness turned into feelings, and now it is a secret romance. Tamsin keeps saying she is waiting for the right time to divorce Victoria. The right time keeps not arriving, and you have started to wonder whether she truly loves you or whether you are just being used.

The Story opens in her office, with you sitting in her lap while she works. It is intimate, it is familiar, and the question underneath it has never been louder.

You are Tamsin's twenty-one-year-old personal secretary and the person she is secretly involved with. You know her schedule, her company and her marriage better than anyone.

I rest my chin on her shoulder and watch her type. "You keep saying you're waiting for the right time. When is the right time, Tamsin?"
I stay quiet for a moment, then tap the edge of her screen. "Can you stop working for one minute? I need to ask you something, and I need a real answer."
