I cocked my head to the side, stating the truth, “Whose name is on the building, Claire?”
She cleared her throat, nodding for everyone to leave.
After they were gone, I crossed my arms over my chest and focused solely on the woman who thought she could change me.
Again.
“Now that they’re gone, let’s cut the bullshit, Autumn.”
“Mr. Locke, I won’t remind you again to address me as Miss Troy.”
“How long do you plan on playing this little game?”
“I don’t know what you’re referring to, but let me inform you that your team reached out to me. Not the other way around. I’m just here to do my job.”
“Your job? Which is what? Wear a tight dress with no bra so your tits get you employed.”
Her eyes widened. “That’s not—”
I put my finger up in the air, silencing her. “That wasn’t a question.”
She glared at me. “I could report you to HR for that, Mr. Locke. Do you always sexually harass women in your office who are dressed professionally?
“I’m simply stating facts, and I never mix business with pleasure.”
“I find that hard to believe considering you are referred to as Alpha CEO and the world’s most eligible bachelor. What is it now? Three years in a row?”
I grinned. “Kept tabs on me, have you?”
“I researched you. It’s what makes me damn good at my job.”
“And what did this research inform you of, kid?”
She glared at me again, clenching out, “I won’t be disrespected by you, Mr. Locke. You need to address me as Miss Troy—end of conversation.”
“Sweetheart, we’re just getting started.”
“I’m not one of your employees you can treat like shit. Am I making myself clear?”
“You’re on my payroll, are you not?”
“You’re paying me to change your image—that makes me your boss.”
I let out a throaty laugh, unable to remember the last time I’d done so. “The only thing you’re the boss of, kid, is being a royal pain in my ass.”
She abruptly stood, sliding documents across the table before strutting her way to the door. “Get used to it, Mr. Locke. Take a look at your itinerary for the next week because beginning tomorrow morning, I control you.”
I resisted the urge to argue, realizing all too quickly that my sweet, innocent girl had changed, and in her place stood a confident and sophisticated woman dressed to impress. Her tight cream dress stopped just below her knees, accentuating every curve of her body.
Was she wearing a garter belt?
HR would have a fucking field day if they knew I was admiring her luscious ass that swayed with each step she walked. She knew exactly what she was doing and what I was thinking, only fueling the fire raging inside of me.
Her narrow hips.
Her ample breasts.
She was sporting diamond earrings, a gold bracelet, a solitaire diamond necklace, and a gold watch with an oversized designer bag tucked in the nook of her arm. Topping her outfit off with red, sky-high fuck-me heels just as I presumed when she was sitting down. She had more makeup on than I’d ever seen on her before.
