Chapter 134: Measurements

As promised, I heard a knock on my bedroom door early the next morning.

"Second Miss, we’re here to take your measurements."

Measurements? That’s a nice way of saying ’we’re here to see if you gained weight’.

I quickly got out of bed and opened the door, allowing all three maids to enter my room. The first maid, Anna, held a glass scale.

"Second Miss, please step on the scale. It will only be a brief moment," she said, placing it on the floor in front of me.

Frowning, I did as told and got on, waiting for Anna to write down the number.

"There’s been a slight increase," she announced.

As soon as she finished recording the number, she motioned to the other two maids to come over and take my measurements.

I thought I was only going to get weighed today?

As if reading my mind, Anna responded to my internal question. "Madam is about to send over the updated measurements to the dress designer."

I nodded, not really caring either way. We usually got our measurements taken once a year, but it seemed like Mother really cared about this event to have them done much earlier.

The two other maids worked quickly, accurately measuring all of the needed parts of my body. When Anna received the final measurements, she glanced at me with a curious look.

"While your weight showed that it was higher, your measurements are still the same. I will go report to Madam. Thank you for your time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she bowed her head slightly and left the room with the other maids. I glanced at the clock and realized I was up an hour before my usual wake-up time, but since I was already awake, I decided to begin getting ready for work.

After showering, I walked into my closet to pick today’s outfit. After yesterday’s scare with my mother finding out that my blouse was different, I tried to pick clothes that I knew Christian had in his office.

I wasn’t sure what kind of day would be in store for me today, but a big part of me hoped that it would be similar to yesterday. My body heated up at the thought, though my legs were still shaky this morning.

After a few minutes of deliberation, I chose a very basic, all black dress. It was simple yet formal, but my favorite feature was how easily it could be taken off.

If Christian becomes as excited as he was yesterday, then taking this dress off will be much easier for him.

Since the dress was simple, I decided to wear a few pieces of jewelry to elevate the overall look. I opened my jewelry box and pulled out Christian’s gold chain, placing it around my neck so that it only slightly peeked out from under my dress.

I wonder if he’ll recognize it.

After hearing that our sex yesterday helped him retrieve bits and pieces of his memories, I felt that maybe wearing certain clothes or doing other things we’ve done before could help him remember even more.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I noticed that I wasn’t the first one to arrive. The lights were already on in the lobby, and I had to wait for the elevator to arrive at the ground floor.

He’s here already!

My heart skipped a beat. I waited with overflowing excitement to see Christian. After yesterday’s activities, I felt a lot more comfortable around him, even though he still didn’t remember most of our interactions.

As the elevator doors opened, I noticed a small sticky note on the back wall.

[Leslie, come to my office as soon as you arrive.]

I pulled the note off the wall and smiled. This was the first time I received this type of greeting when coming into the office.

The entire ride up, I thought of what awaited me in Christian’s office. Usually, he would have a lavish meal ready, so my thoughts were filled with what sort of delicious food awaited me inside.

Once the elevator doors finally opened, I quickened my steps and made my way over to the imposing double doors of Christian’s office. As soon as I reached the doors, I lifted my hand to knock on the door.

"Come in."

Christian’s voice was serious and full of authority. It was his usual voice when he dealt with work matters, but I always found it to be incredibly sexy.

I opened the doors and entered. My eyes locked with his as soon as I stepped inside.

"Leslie, it’s you. You’re here early today," he said, standing up for his chair. He walked around his desk and leaned against the front side of it, crossing his arms. He had the air of someone with authority, someone you couldn’t say ’no’ to.

My heart began to beat even faster. "I was woken up early today. I also saw your note in the elevator."

I pulled out the small yellow sticky note from my pocket. Though he noticed my movements, his eyes never left mine.

"Ah, yes. I have something for you." His eyes darkened. It was the same look as yesterday, one filled with an unquenchable thirst. It alone caused my body to heat up. I knew what he wanted, and I was more than willing to give it to him.

"Come," he beckoned me with his finger.

I walked forward automatically, as if I were under a spell, stopping only when I was standing directly in front of him. The air between us became hot and heavy. We hadn’t even touched yet, and I already felt like I was gasping for air.

He placed both of his hands down on the desk, supporting himself as he leaned back slightly. His eyes explored my body while a small, sexy smile crept up on his face.

"Be a good girl and take off your clothes."

His tone was commanding, leaving no room for negotiation. I wasn’t planning on negotiating anyway.
