He looked at me for a couple of seconds, nodded, and then turned to face the front again.How rude, I thought, though I kept my lips closed. I really hoped that he wasn’t going to be Dr. Parker because I already knew he wasn’t going to give me a job.
The elevator started moving upward, and I decided to think about what I’d say to my prospective new bosses. I needed to impress them immediately. When the elevator suddenly made a loud noise, jerked, and stopped, I could feel my heart racing. I blinked furiously as I looked around and tried not to stare at the hot yet rude man.
“Oh my gosh, not again,” Mr. Rude Hottie stated, sounding annoyed.
“Not again what?” I asked him.
He turned toward me, looked me up and down, and made a face. “The elevator’s stopped again.”
“What do you mean byagain?”
“I mean, this elevator has stopped working in between floors three times in as many months. We’ll have to wait for Claudia to get us out of here.” He sighed and looked at his watch. “I really don’t need this right now.”
“You’re telling me. I’m meant to be interviewing for a job, and my sister’s waiting in the car. How long is this going to take?” I whined, feeling panicked and frustrated.
“I don’t know, ma’am,” he said, shaking his head. “Are you applying for a job here?” He looked surprised, and I just nodded.
“Yep, I’m applying for a job here in this building. That’s why I’m here.” I tried not to roll my eyes, but this man was getting on my nerves.
“And which position are you applying for?”
“I don’t really know that it’s any of your business,” I said. I knew I was being kind of rude, but he hadn’t exactly been polite to me.
He shrugged. “Okay then.” He picked up the phone that was attached to the wall and pressed the button. “Claudia, it’s Max. The elevator is stuck again somewhere between two and three. Okay, thanks.” He hung up and looked back at me. “She said that the last technician advised her to reset something, so she’ll see if it works.”
“Okay,” I said, nodding.
He looked at the manila folder in my hands and then looked back at my face. “Are you selling Girl Scout cookies?”
“What?” I blinked at him.
“I was just trying to guess why you might be here.”
“And your best guess was asking me if I’m selling Girl Scout cookies? Do I look like a Girl Scout?”
This time, his eyes went slower as he looked me up and down, and I tried not to shiver. He was really handsome in one of thoseI know it and you know it, and I am really cocky about itways. His eyes were the bluest I’d ever seen, blue like the Caribbean sea, and his hair was dark and silky. He must have been about six foot three and pure muscle. He was wearing a suit, so I assumed he had to be one of the attorneys. It was unfair that he was so good-looking. It was unfair that he knew it as well.
“You’re staring,” he said, and I blinked at him in confusion.
“What?”
“I said you’re staring at my lips,” he said. “And I can’t tell if you want to kiss them or bite them.”
“What?” My jaw dropped. Had I just heard what I thought I’d heard?
“Honey, I know we’re in an elevator, and I know it’s many women’s fantasies to get pushed up against the wall and fucked by a stranger, but that’s not going to happen today.”
“What?” My face went beet red. “Are you kidding me?”
He smirked and shrugged. “I’m just saying. Not that it doesn’t sound like fun, but I’ve got a lot going on this afternoon.”
“I don’t even know what to say,” I squeaked out, wondering if somehow I’d entered an alternate reality.
Who was this man? Did he actually think that I was interested in doing anything with him?
He chuckled slightly as he ran his hand through his hair. The elevator started up again, and he looked pleased. “Okay, well, maybe Claudia does know a thing or two,” he said.
The elevator reached the third floor and dinged, and the doors opened. I walked past him and stood on the other side. “By the way,” I said, looking at him with my best death glare, “if you were the last man on Earth and those moments in the elevator were my last minutes on this planet, I still wouldn’t want you to touch me. I wouldn’t want you to push me up against the wall. I wouldn’t want you to kiss me. I wouldn’t want you to even look at me, so go play with yourself if you think you’re that hot.”
