My body feels like it’s burning up, and I wonder briefly if I have a fever.
Maybe I’m coming down with something.
His light brown hair is pushed back from his face, showing off his strong cheekbones and those kissable lips. He’s wearing glasses that have partially slipped down his nose, making him look more adorable than sexy. It also makes him look more approachable and down to earth.
“Cool eyes,” the other guy says as he swishes back and forth in his chair.
The spell is broken, and I quickly sit down, smiling faintly at the other man.
“Thanks.”
I get that a lot. Not many people have purple eyes. I’m told that I got them from a great- great-grandmother. They’re my best feature, and the one people comment on the most.
The man I was staring at nods, clearing his throat as he looks between his friend and me.
“He’s married,” he tells me, and I blink.
“Oh, I wasn’t hitting on him… if that’s what you mean,” I say in confusion.
“No! No, sorry, I just…” he trails off, and I glance between them.
The man who commented on my eyes is grinning at his friend like he knows something that we both don’t, and I have the strongest urge to figure out what that is.
“I’m Adrien, by the way. I own the company one floor down. I was just coming up here to help Levi here with some interviews.”
“You can go now,” Levi tells him, and Adrien laughs, clapping Levi on his back.
“I know. You’re hired,” he tells me, and I blink in surprise.
“I am?” I ask, looking to Levi, the man who actually runs this place.
“Yeah, you’re hired. You start tomorrow.”
“Really?” I ask because this all feels like a dream.
“Yeah. I’ll get all of the paperwork together for you to sign tomorrow. I’ll see you at nine am, Ms. Flowers.”
My heart sinks as I realize he thinks I’m someone else. This Flowers girl must have a strong resume. I should tell him that I’m not her… except the pay and benefits here are too good to pass up.
Out of all the jobs I applied to, this is the one I wanted the most. It seemed like a cushy job, but it was more than that. The pay and benefits were way more generous than any of the other job listings.
I can be his assistant. I’ll be the best assistant he’s ever had, and it won’t even matter that he calls me by the wrong name.
“Great! I’ll see you then,” I say as I push to my feet.
This time, the smile that curves my lips is genuine. It seems to catch Levi off guard, and he blinks, staring at me again until Adrien shoves him gently.
Adrien offers me his hand, and I shake it before I turn back to Levi and do the same thing. As soon as his skin touches mine, electricity skates up my arm and sends tingles and shivers all over my body.
“Welcome to the team,” he says softly, and I smile.
“Thanks. I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning,” I promise him.
He nods, and I grab my purse and hurry out of the room before he can change his mind. I hit the button to the elevator, smiling as I step inside with a few other people. I can hear the man with the clipboard announce that the position has been filled, and I grin to myself as the doors close, and I’m whooshed down to the lobby.
Today is turning out better than I could have ever imagined. I can’t wait to get home now and tell Lila all about my new job.
That excitement is short lived though.
