Which brother should I choose

A week had passed after my first day as an assistant for both Alonzo's and our lunch with Matt. I started feeling I was doing alright. Mr. Alonzo, the bold one, was coming 15 minutes earlier than his usual time, that I understood because of my other duty to go to the other brother at 10:00.

I managed to provide enough support to both of them, scheduled their meetings, arranged their posts, organized their files and planned their work travels. That day I was content from myself as I was walking to my office.

My phone rang and it was my father. I joyfully opened it. For the past few weeks, I have had very little time to share with them. I was generally heading home after work and blacking out from exhaustion. "Daddy!"

"Honey! How are you my sweet princess?"

"Thank you daddy, I am doing fine. How are you?"

"Fine honey." his tone dropped an octave. I felt something was wrong.

"What is it dad? There is something bothering you." He gave a big breath to the phone.

"You know, the school term is getting nearer. Rachel had already received three acceptance letters from colleges. I need to find money."

"Don't feel overwhelmed dad. I promised you that I will help you to send my sisters to college. Now, you search for a convenient loan for her preferred college. I will pay her installments with my salary."

"Honey, it's too much. You are building your own life, I cannot ask you that."

"You are not asking me dad. I am volunteered. Once you manage to get the loan, inform me about installments and I will send you money month by month."

"Okay honey. I really appreciate your support. Meanwhile I will try to find a way to an extra income, and I will release you from this burden as soon as possible."

"It's not a burden to me dad. I am happy to help my family. But I need to go now, I already came to work." I said as I stood next to my desk.

"Okay honey, take care. I will let you know the details. Bye!"

"Bye!"

I closed my phone and sat on my desk happily. Finally I was doing something meaningful. Helping my sister's progress was the most thrilling sensation in the world. I pushed all thoughts aside and started a daily routine. Making coffee, filing the documents Mr. Alonzo piled on my desk yesterday, before he went out. He was always late at night. And I printed out the daily calendar for him.

He came to work as usual, 9:15 sharp. I waited for him in his office. He came in, sipped the coffee, spit it back and turned to face me.

"Good morning sir,"

"Good morning Ms. Wonderful"

I took out my notepad and stayed ready to take notes as always. He gazed at me as penetrating as always, but I almost got used to that too.

"Make a reservation for the whole week, clear out the schedule, we are going to Hawaii tomorrow."

"We are? Like you and me?"

"I was expecting you to know the meaning of we. This is very basic Ms. Wonderful."

"But sir, why are you taking me with you?"

"This is a business trip, isn't it normal to have my assistant with me? We are going to sign a deal with the Sanders group."

"Okay but, I have obligations towards Mr. Matt too. How could I fulfill them from Hawaii?

"Do you really think that I give a shit about Matt's needs? Find a way for yourself. Or just abandon him. I don't care."

"O..Okay sir." I said reluctantly. "Is there anything else?"

"Don't forget to take your bathing suit," he said. A rare twinkle glinted and faded immediately in his eyes. Did he make a joke right now?

I blushed. I don't know why. But it was embarrassing to think of myself in a bathing suit next to him. I nodded and lowered my head to hide my blushed cheeks.

I went to my desk and sat there for a second or two, to digest the idea that I was going to travel with Mr. Alonzo, the bold one. And I needed to find a way arrange Mr. Matt's schedule too. I went to my other meeting with him. "Hello Mr. Alonzo."

"Well hello, my sweet assistant. Come in"

I went into his office and sat in my usual spot.

"Sir, Mr. Anton informed me that we need to go on a business trip to Hawaii for the rest of the week, and I just wanted to inform you that I will take care of your schedule remotely for this week."

"He is taking you with him?"

"Yes sir."

He huffed a breath out and I sensed he got tensed.

"I was expecting something like that. I should have known better when he drew the deal three weeks earlier. He wants to keep you for himself as much as he can."

"I don't think it is related to me sir. I think it is more related to making you feel that way."

"Oh love, you have no idea." he said. Confusion creased my brows. What does this mean now?

"Anyway," he said. "We have no option, this deal is really important. I can manage a week without you. Thank you for informing me, Alice."

"Sorry sir, I wish I could do more."

"Thank you, love. See you next week."

"See you sir" I stood up and stepped out from his office, smirking at his sweet goodbye.

I went to my desk, and looked for the schedule for the rest of the day. There was a meeting in five minutes with Ms. Ronda Meyers, the heir of the Meyers company. She could be here any minute, so I put on my shoes again. And as expected, she appeared in the corridor after a minute or so.

It was the first time I was seeing this stunning woman. She was gorgeous from every angle. She was tall and thin. Her long legs were nearly around my height. Her blonde straight hair was cut at shoulder length and was shining like melted gold. Her light blue eyes like the ocean, curtained with thick black eyelashes. She was wearing professional makeup and her suit dress was hugging her figure from all the right places for complementing her figure more. I couldn't help but gawked at her.

After a minute of stare, she politely cleared her throat and I recognized that I was gaping her for all this time.

I shook my head from my thoughts and stood up.

"Welcome, Ms. Meyers. Let me inform Mr. Alonzo of your arrival."

"Thank you." she said politely. I went to Mr. Alonzo's door, his office's blinds were still closed. I knocked on the door and opened it after a second. He lifted his gaze from the paper he was reviewing and looked me in the eye, "Mr. Alonzo, Ms. Meyers is here."

I opened door wider to let Ms.Meyers to come in, I politely invite her in as saying,

"Ms. Meyers, Mr. Alonzo is waiting for you."

She smiled at me and proceeded to the door to pass me. When he saw her at the door, something odd happened. He smiled at her. Genuinely and widely. And for the first time since I came here, I recognized one thing that I never recognized before. Fucking dimples! He had the identical dimples with his brother, at the exact same points on his cheeks. But since he was grumpy and frowny all the time, I have never seen those before. I froze there in shock. He stood up and they greeted each other by a small hug, than Mr. Alonzo recognized my presence there. He looked me again with his signature frown and asked,

"Is there something else Ms. Wonderful?" I pulled myself together immediately.

"Would you like me to bring something to drink sir?" That was the best excuse I can find for my presence there. Luckily it worked. "No thank you. I will offer my guest something from my bar," he gestured to his bar in the corner.

"O...Okay sir." I returned on my heels to leave the office, but he called me one last time.

"Ms. Wonderful, please leave early for lunch today, and do not let anyone disturb me until my meeting is over with Ms. Meyers."

"Alright sir." I said and went out of the office immediately. I was high on clouds. This was the first time Mr.Alonzo let me take an early lunch break. I left the plaza at 11:30 and didn't turn back until it was 13:00.

When I returned to my office I was happy to have an extra half an hour I got and the dessert I ate on the meal. I sat on my desk and took off my shoes. Mr. Alonzo's blinds were still shut. I couldn't see if Ms. Meyers left or not but I presumed she had, since one and half hours have passed.

My desk phone rang. I answered the phone and it was Mr. Parker. He wanted to talk to Mr. Alonzo, but I was not sure if his meeting was completed or not. There was no sign of living inside his office. I said to Mr. Parker that I will turn to him to inform about Mr. Alonzo's availability. I went to his office door slowly, and reluctantly listened. Since there were no shoes on my feet, my steps muffled on carpeted floors. So I could reach the door silently. There was no sound coming from inside. But, not even a single sound, as if it was all empty. I brought my ear closer to the door surface, nearly resting on it. But I couldn't hear anything. If someone would see me like this, they could think I was eavesdropping. I took an encouraging breath and knocked on the door. It was a major risk I was taking. He asked no disturbance and if he was in the office, he could kill me with his laser eyes. I waited, but no sound came. I took another deep breath and turned the knob. When I went inside, the office was empty. Where did he go? Maybe he went to lunch after me as well I thought. When I turned on my heels to leave the office, I heard some sounds. Muffled and distant, but coming from inside. I turned back and examined the office and my eyes dropped on the internal door leading to Mr. Alonzo's resting area. As I trusted my shoeless feet I went to that door slowly. Was he in there? Maybe he was taking a shower. If he were there, I could hear the shower sounds and make sure he was inside.

I went closer to that door too. I reached the door with my ear again and listened. But the voices coming from inside was not just belong to Mr. Alonzo but someone else, too.

"Oh! Ah! Ah!! Anton!! Slow down pleeasee!!"

"Sshh! Shut up Ronda and spread your legs wider!"

"Ahhh!"

What the hell?!
