The persistent ringing of my phone finally forced me awake. I search for my mobile on the nightstand and finally grasp it. I flip over, slide the answer button and groan a "hello" into it.

"Morning sunshine." I hear my brother's voice come through.

"What time is it?" I ask, blinking at the sunlight coming through my window shades.

"Almost ten. Why such a late morning? Busy night?" His voice sounded accusatory.

"You can say that. What's with the wakeup call?"

"I just hired a new assistant. She starts Wednesday."

"Okay and I care why?"

"Well for one, you're a name partner. You're supposed to care. And two, I believe you've had the pleasure of meeting her already."

"I have?"

"Yes, last night. She accused me of sleeping with her. Boy was that one fun to explain."

My brain kick starts as it remembers the memory of the girl from last night. She was fucking amazing. "No shit, really?"

"Yes really."

"Huh, small world."

"Yes it is so don't go making it a habit of fucking a possible employee every night okay?"

"Well it's not like I knew she was going to interview at the firm."

"You would if you were here to look over the applicants' files."

"Yeah, yeah. So is she like your own assistant or is she available to anyone?"

"That'll be up to her but she'll mainly work for me. Don't go making any crazy ideas Christian."

"Nonsense. I know when to be professional."

"Don't fuck this one up Christian."

"I think I already did bro, very well." I smirk into the phone.

"Gross, will I be expecting you Wednesday?"

"You bet."

I swing my legs around to the floor and sit up, smirking. I couldn't wait till Wednesday.

Wednesday

My assistant, Andrea meets me at the elevator with my coffee in hand and some paperwork. "Good morning sir," she greets me and hands over my coffee.

"Morning Andrea." I smile and graciously sip on the perfect temperature coffee. God knows where I be without Andrea.

"I have the monthly financial report for Trouble here for you. I also have your schedule for the day at the office all ready."

"Great, what's the first thing on the list?"

"I believe you have a video conference with the Boston branch to talk about possible expansions?"

I stop causing her to momentarily stop herself in surprise and look up from her tablet. "Keep that conference on hold. I have something to do first." I hand her my coffee and walk in the direction of my brother's office.

"Uh okay."

I give a gently knock on the door before opening it. Colton looks up from his computer. "Christian." Hmm, she's not here. I look around his big office. "If you're looking for Anastasia, she's not here yet."

Anastasia. Huh, pretty name.

"That's okay, I don't mind waiting."

"Christian, need I remind you that we don't need a sexual harassment suit against us?"

"Oh pipe down, I'm not going to do anything inappropriate. I just want the opportunity to introduce myself."

Just at that moment, the angel from last night shows up. "Good morning sir. I have your schedule prepare and ready for you." She's looking down at her tablet and hasn't realized I'm in the room.

"Good morning," I announce and she looks up at me. She stops in her tracks, eyes wide like a deer caught in the headlights.

"Uh morning." She responds slowly.

"Miss Steele, my brother Christian Grey." Colton speaks from his desk and I extend my hand to shake hers. Her small hand grasps mine and I smile at the thought of where that exact hand has been: all over me.

"Nice to finally put a name to the face Miss Steele." I kiss the back of her hand. She blushes and fuck me if it isn't the cutest shit ever. I can almost feel the rolling eyes of Colton from behind me.

"Don't you have a meeting to attend?" Colton asks and I chuckle. My brother, the best cock-block ever in mankind history.

"Certainly but I wanted to introduce myself to the new hire. So good to see you again Miss Steele. I regret having to cut this short but I certainly hope to see you around."

"Ah…of…of course…Mr. Grey." She stutters and I smirk. I have her all in a frenzy.

"Catch you later Colton." I throw a farewell over my shoulder to my brother as I walk out the door.

Luck must be on my side. I made my way into the copy room to find Miss Steele pushing the buttons to our copier. I watch as she confuses herself with the machine.

"Need help?" I ask and she jumps in shock.

"Oh Mr. Grey…hi…"

"Hello Miss Steele."

"Uh…can I help you?"

"I think the correct question is can I help you? Haven't quite got the hang of the copier yet huh?"

"First day." She shyly laughs and I nod. I walk over and press the correct buttons. The machine kicks into gear. I turn my attention back to her and she's looking off into the corner.

"Am I making you uncomfortable Miss Steele?"

"No…yes…I don't know."

"Listen, this is strictly a working relationship. What happened between us a couple of nights ago won't affect anything."

"Really?"

"Not unless you want it to." I arch my brow.

"What?"

I chuckle and shake my head. Okay time to let her off. "I'm kidding. I'm a professional man Miss Steele, and being a lawyer, I know the law of sexual harassment. I will not do anything inappropriate towards you. I apologize for making you feel uncomfortable."

She shakes her head. "No, you didn't make me feel uncomfortable. Just wasn't sure how the other night was going to affect my job."

"It won't, I promise. We'll forget it ever happened. I make it a rule not to mix business and pleasure so it won't happen again." She seems to think about it for a moment before nodding her head.

"Okay."

"Well Miss Steele, I'll let you get back to making copies. If you ever need anything, you know where my office is."

"Yeah, thanks Mr. Grey." I give her a curt nod and turn to walk away.
