Monday:

Lucas walked towards his office with his morning coffee in his hands. Ever since Friday night he has been a little flustered with Missy, she came on to him to strong when he didn't want her to. The good thing was that Friday was her last day and he didn't ever have to see her again. That changed when he saw her approach him, his heart beated faster, but his mind led him somewhere else.

"Hi." she said with a smile and a wave as she passed him.

"Hey." he muttered as he walked to Patrick's desk. "Why is she here? I thought Friday was her last day."

"Didn't you hear? Lisa got a stomach virus when she drank from my glass of wine on Friday. I didn't even think I was still sick."

He nodded. "How long is she gonna be here?"

"Till Lisa gets better."

"Alright then." He walked into his office when he heard a knock. A sigh of relieve lightened his mood when he saw Derek instead of Missy. "What do you need?"

"Nothing...but man. You missed a good party, after you left Jake spilled his wine all over Allison's dress."

"Nice to know." Lucas said as he turned on his computer and checked his email.

Riley finished her 100th curl up and her stomach was in pain, she moved onto jumping jacks then to push ups. The house was freshly cleaned and Riley had at least four hours to work out, cook, and take care of Katherine until Lucas came home from work. She got a phone call from Malia and she decided to answer it.

"Hey what's up?" Riley asked as she wiped the sweat of off her forehead.

"You should open the box that was delivered to your door today."

"What box?" Riley asked as she walked towards the front door.

"There's one on your door. I was driving back from the grocery store and I saw it."

Riley opened the door and saw a small black box on the floor. "Oh, thanks. I'll call you tonight."

"Bye."

Lucas opened the driver's seat to his car and got inside. After avoiding Missy and working hard he needed to go home to his wife and daughter. He was about to place his keys inside the ignition when he saw someone open the door from the passenger's side of the car. He rolled his eyes when he saw Missy, wearing a black coat and some dark heels. Her hair was straightened and her makeup was lighter which made her look more natural and attractive.

"I owe you an apology, Lucas." she said as she looked at his eyes.

He sighed with relief. "Look, i'm sorry if you got the wrong impression. I was just being nice, we both had a few drinks on Friday and we should just forget about it."

"I don't know about forgetting, i'd still like to kiss you again. Next time we should try that without our clothes." she licked her lips. "Maybe, just maybe, we can make that happen." she ran her finger through his thigh, but he stopped her.

"Missy, just get out of my car."

"Will this change your mind?" she unzipped her coat exposing her lingerie. "You wanna do this here...?"

"Get out of my car."

"C'mon I know you want this." Missy said as she ran a hand through her hair trying to seduce him.

"I'm a married man, you need to understand that. We can both lose our jobs if we're caught."

"No one has to know."

"Get out of my car!" Lucas yelled frightening her.

"Fine!" she got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

He spent the past five minutes in his car trying to put the words together when he tells Riley what happened. He ran a hand through his hair knowing how the conversation would end. He thought about not telling her at all, but that would just make it worse. Lucas got out of his car and walked on the stone pathway that led to the front door, after opening it he shouted her name. "Riley! I'm home!" After no answer he looked for her, but he couldn't find her. "Riley?"

"Over here."

He saw her in the dining room table with a glass of wine next to her, she had a dreary expression.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked as he took a seat next to her.

"I just spent the past half hour on the phone with Darby. Did you know her husband has been having an affair with a random woman for a whole year?"

"How did she find out?"

"He just blurted it out. He's leaving her, Lucas. He's abandoning his own child, he said he could care less about her. He's such an ass."

"That's horrible."

"It's a disaster. If it were ever me-"

"It will never be you because I would never cheat on you." Lucas said.

She smiled and caressed his cheek. "I know."

"Tim is a dumbass."

"I 100% agree with you." she grabbed his hands. "Where you going to tell me something?"

He thought about it for a while, if he told her right now...god only knows what would happen. "Nothing important, c'mon let's go eat."

"Actually, I already ate. I'm just gonna go take a shower and go to bed."

He nodded. "Is Katherine asleep?"

"Yeah, if she wakes up I have a bottle on the counter for her."

Lucas gave her a kiss and headed towards the kitchen.

"Oh and Darby sent pictures of you from her wedding." Riley said walking up the stairs.

The next day at work Lucas decided to tell Derek about what has been happening, he deserved to know and maybe he could help him out.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me sooner." Derek said with a huge sneer on his lips.

"Derek do you think this is funny?"

"Of course, I thought she had something for you, but I didn't know she would act on it."

"I didn't even know she felt like that about me until Friday."

"Are you sure you didn't lead her on?" Derek asked as he sat down on his desk.

"No, I was just trying to make her feel better."

"So what are you going to do?"

"I'm gonna put it to human resources."

"As in get her fired?" Derek asked.

"I don't have a choice, Derek."

"Think about it, what if she chooses to make trouble and says that you came on to her? More people will believe her because of last time. What do you think happened to your last assistant? Oh, that's right you married her!"

Lucas didn't change his mind, he had to keep her away from to him to save his marriage.

"Lucas, hey. What are you doing?" asked the manager of the company as he entered his office.

"I have a personal matter I'd like to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

"You know Missy Bradford the temp worker?"

He nodded.

"She...uh..."

"If this is a complaint about her staging, save your breath her agents just called. She's not coming back in."

"Really? Did they say why?"

"Nope. Was there any problems?"

"No, just her attitude."

Short chapter, but I ended it where I could because the next chapter is the Christmas chapter and old faces will make an appearance.

Why do you think Missy quit her job?
