HIATUS

Inside a huge bedroom, a woman could be seen stirring in her sleep, only a blanket covering her naked body. The woman has blonde hair and a figure that most women would envy. She has smooth skin, and the way the morning rays of the sun hit her face just adds to the beauty of the woman. As she begins to wake up, she uses her right arm to tap the space beside her.

"Ethan…Ethan...Where are you?" she says as she rubs her eyes. She glances in the room and she notices that she was alone in the bedroom. She stood up from the bed and she saw a spare bathrobe which she decided to wear. She checks the time and she realizes that it was already 10:28 am. She went out of the room and decided to tour the clearly expensive house. The night prior had been a night of partying and drinking that she could vaguely remember what the house looks like.

As she enters the living room, she saw a woman, a redhead wearing glasses, and in business attire. If she remembers correctly she was Ethan's secretary named Stella Hansen. She seems to be busy reading some important documents.

"You must be Olivia, your clothes had been wash and you can eat before you go", she said not even sparing her a glance.

This just rubs Olivia the wrong way and she said, "Where's Ethan? Why are you here?".

"Sir Ethan is busy at the moment, he is too busy running a multi-billion dollar company to sleep till near noon. As per your second question, I work where sir Ethan tells me to work", Stella said as she proceeded to do her work.

Olivia watch Stella work for a while, later she decided to make herself toast and a cup of coffee. After preparing everything for her meal, she brought it to the living room. There was a free couch where she decided to take a seat.

"So, how is it like to work for the man that has made multiple achievements in the field of medicine?" she asked Stella, as she occasionally took a bite of her toast and a sip of her coffee.

"I didn't agree to this interview, Ms.Olivia", Stella said plainly.

"Come on help a girl out", Olivia said.

Stella didn't respond to her plea and just did her work. For a while, the sound of Stella working and Olivia eating was the only sound that was filling the entire living room.

"I get it, you like him don't you? The beautiful secretary in love with her boss, fairly romantic ain't it. It must hurt you to see all the women he sleeps with", Olivia said as she is trying to rattle Stella out of some valuable information to write for a tabloid article.

Hearing this Stella took off her glasses and place it on the table she was working on. She slowly walks towards Olivia, as she got near her she places her leg in the middle of Olivia's legs and she spread it. She slowly unwraps the bathrobe that Olivia was using, causing the beautiful body of Olivia to be visible.

Olivia was clearly flustered, she would have never thought that Stella would do anything like this to her.

"Wh…what are you doing?", she said to Stella. Olivia's face was now a shade of red, she immediately covered her body which prevented Stella from looking at her.

Stella took her hand and gently raise the face of Olivia. Stella's face was now extremely close to Olivia's. Olivia's breathing became faster and her heartbeat begins to rise. She was clearly never been place in a situation where a woman was extremely close to her in a sexual manner.

As Stella look straight into Olivia's eyes she said, "Love, no. I do my job well, now, my job is to take the woman that sir Ethan slept with and make them leave. Just like sir Ethan, I am a fan of a woman's body. Tell me Olivia do you really want something to write about in your tabloid?"Stella said as she whispered the last sentence to Olivia's ear.

Olivia didn't know what to do, she clearly never thought that this would happen. Stella took a step back and begins to slowly unbutton her blouse. Seeing this Olivia immediately stood up and took her clothes and she decided to wear them immediately. Apparently sleeping with a woman to get valuable information was not on the list in which Olivia was willing to do.

As she was wearing her clothes she said with a stutter, "I…I…g..go..gonna…go….t..thanks…f…for….b….bre…breakfast.o..or….lu…lunch…I….m..me..an….br..bru.brunch….."

She immediately left the house taking with her all of her possessions.

Stella seeing this just smiled and said "Damn it, I wanted to relax for a while. Oh well, today's not my lucky day".

She took a notepad that was on the living room table, as well as a delivery box that was delivered early in the day, and went to the lower floor of the house. The room on the lower floor had a clear glass door entrance, there was a keypad lock which she inputs the number to enter. Once she entered she saw Ethan, using a microscope and writing something with his right hand.

The entire lower floor of Ethan's house was his laboratory. Inside the lab contained all the latest technology money can buy.

"I took care of your broad for the day. Too bad she didn't want to play", Stella said to Ethan.

"Thank you, Stella, what would I do without you as my personal secretary", Ethan said as he looks at Stella.

"You would hire a new secretary and just maybe a secretary that you can bang", Stella said sarcastically.

"Oh no, I would never do that", Ethan replied sarcastically as well.

"Anyway someone delivered this today, no return address or letter indicating who it came from", Stella said with curiosity at the box that she was holding.

"Use one of the free tables and open it up", Ethan said as he took off his gloves and waited for Stella to open the box.

"hmmm...I believe these are small pendants", Stella said.

"What are they?" Ethan said as she went near Stella to have a clear view of the pendants. The moment he saw the pendants he was shocked, but he composed himself extremely quickly.

"I think this is a snail, a frog of some kind, and a snake. Weird gifts if you ask me", Stella said to Ethan who had walked beside her.

"No…That's a slug, a toad, and your correct that one is a snake….who delivered these?", Ethan said with a hint of worry on his face.

"I already told you, there is no return address….is this a prank or something? Maybe one of your friends meant for this to be a prank? Maybe Ted gave this to you?. Do you want me to throw them away", Stella said.

"No….leave them be… I'll take care of those", I said to her.

Ethan took the small pendants and stored them in a drawer.

"Okay if you say so", Stella said.

"So, any news lately?", Ethan said clearly trying to think of something else aside from those pendants.

"Actually there's a few", Stella said as she took the notepad she carried and begins to tell him what was written on it.
