“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.”
“Television?” I really don’t see where that’s necessary, but I’m not going to complain.
“We’ll be working late and I thought it would be a nice treat.”
“Thank you.”
“Feel free to add pictures and anything else to make the space comfortable.”
“Thank you.” It was all a little overwhelming.
“You need to hire a receptionist. There’s a temp in place now, but we need someone permanent. Human Resources will be sending you some options. Select three and give their names to Tony. Once he’s checked them out, you can interview them.”
The past twenty-four hours seemed like a dream. Not only did I have a fabulous new job, my own office, a hot boss, and from the sound of it, I’m about to hire my first employee. Thank you God, this is great.
I tried to stifle my yawns, but I was exhausted. I kept hoping Phillippe would take a nap so I could as well. Unfortunately, he had a long list of things he wanted to discuss. When I went to the restroom, I spotted Tony in one of the chairs asleep. I envied him.
Phillippe
I tried not to stare at her, but I’m shocked at how beautiful she is. Nowhere in Tony’s report did he mention how beautiful Gabriella is. My last assistant
was a pretty woman in her mid sixties. Mrs. Reynolds was more like a mother. However, this woman sitting across from me is a lustful distraction. I’m not sure if this is going to work.
I tried to play off that spark thing, but it was real. Nothing like that has ever happened to me, not even with Chantal.
I’m trying not to stare at her, but those are the sexiest lips I’ve ever seen. Full and juicy. I could watch her talk all day. I wonder how she kisses. Did I just say that? What is wrong with me? She’s not even my type. But her petite frame and those curves are doing something to me. I wonder how her hair looks straight. The curls framing her face make her look sweet and innocent, but those lips…maybe I should send her home and just communicate via the phone and a few video chats. Who am I kidding? That wouldn’t help, because even talking to her on the phone, her face would be in my head and I’d be envisioning those lips.
When I sat down across from her, I was glad she couldn’t see how my body was reacting to being so close to her. How am I going to spend the next month or so on the road with her?
