“What changed your mind?”
“I like the creative energy.”
“I see.” He smiled. “This definitely isn’t advertising, but there is a little creativity involved.”
“What do you do exactly?”
He shifted in his seat and sipped his coffee. “Let’s just say, we’ll be doing a little bit of everything.”
“Like going to charity events?” I smiled.
“Exactly. Did Cameron help you with a dress?”
“Yes, but I think it’s too…”
“Nonsense. You will probably need to add a few more to your wardrobe, so when we get back…”
Is he kidding? Unless he’s going to buy me a dress every time I need one, we need to talk about my salary. “I don’t…”
“Is there a problem?”
“I can’t afford to buy dresses like the one you bought. I’ll do my best, but…I’m not complaining about my salary, because the standard Executive Assistant salary is way better than…”
“What are you talking about?”
“I assumed I was hired to be your Executive Assistant.”
“I know I’ve had a lot on my mind the past few days, but when I confirmed your position with Human Resources, I was very clear about your salary. I felt based on your experience and the job duties, you deserved a little more.” He scrolled down his email and forwarded me a copy. “See for yourself.”
When I opened the email, I tried not to show my excitement. Instead, I saw myself in the black Donna Karan suit plus a new pair of shoes.
“I’m sorry about the mix up. This thing with the Seattle office has had us all a little distracted.”
“I understand.” I looked up and that smile sent a jolt straight to my core.
“Do you like your office?”
I shifted in my seat. “It’s beautiful. How did you know my favorite color?”
“Which one?” Tony coughed and Phillippe cut him a look.
“Black, I love it.”
“I wanted the spaces to complement each other. I like black as well.”
“Your office is…wow. It’s a cool place to work.” I’ll never tell him, that it looks like a cool rich boy bachelor pad. I already see myself ordering pizza and hot wings for him and his friends on fight night or during the basketball playoffs. He probably has four televisions so he can watch multiple games at the same time.
“Thank you. I apologize about the desk chair.”
“The desk chair?” Thank God he brought it up, because that’s the only thing I don’t like about my office.
“I thought it best if you picked it out yourself, as well as your dictation chair in front of
my desk.” It’s very sweet that he wants me to select my dictation chair for his office.
“Thank you. What about the chair that’s there?”
“The decorator…I don’t like it, but if you do…oh, the television should be installed by the time we get back, as well as the print. There was a crack in the frame and it had to be redone.”
