Brinley's POV
Tuesday, March 12th, 2015
My leg bounced up and down nervously as I anticipated what was to come.
"Brinley Kaye? Mr. Malik is ready to see you." Said the lady behind the desk.
She had big bleach blonde hair and thick rimmed glasses.
"Okay, thank you." I said standing and gathering my purse and resume.
"Right this way." She said sweetly.
She led me down the hall to his office.
"Mr. Mali-" she started but immediately shut up when she saw he was on the phone.
He pointed to the seat in front of his desk for me to sit. I quickly obliged and sat awkwardly. He continued to pace back and forth speaking furiously into the phone.
"Just make sure it gets done!" He said angrily and slammed the phone down on the desk.
"Sorry about that." He apologized and sat down straightening his tie.
"This is Brinley Kaye, she's here for the new editors position." The desk lady said.
"Thank you Sharron, I can take it from here." He said politely.
For the first time I noticed how attractive he was. His eyes held a certain darkness behind them. I wanted to know both the dark and the light. His hair was dark brown almost black, like his eyes. I could see hints of inked skin behind the edges of his rolled up sleeves.
"So, Ms. Kaye you're here to apply for an editors position?" He said pursing thin his lips.
"Yes sir." I replied quickly.
"Can I see your resume?" He said staring at me intently.
He looked up and down my resume and shook his head slightly.
"Why are you even here?" He asked before laughing softly.
"For the job." I said blushing furiously at his unexpected reaction.
"Tell me, why do you want this job?" He asked seriously.
"Because I need this job." I said nervously.
"You seriously thought that straight out of college you would get a job here? Here at Malik Enterprise?" He asked slightly annoyed.
"I know I don't have much experience-" I started.
"Clearly." He interrupted.
"I know I can do this. Please..." I pleaded.
"I will tell you what.... you can start off as my personal assistant. That means you will help me with my every need. Such as answering phone calls, scheduling meetings, and things like that. Then if you do a good job I will consider making you an editor." He said licking his lips.
"That sounds great." I said relieved.
"I'll see you tomorrow morning at seven." He said looking me up and down intently.
"Okay, thank you so much sir." I said graciously shaking his hand.
"I will walk you out." He said, his hand slipped down to my lower back as we walked down the hallway.
His hand dropped as soon as we stepped into the reception area. As he walked me to the elevator I could feel his eyes on me. We both reached for the ground floor button at the same time. I gasped slightly at the sudden skin contact. He laughed at my reaction. The ride down was silent and the air was tense. The elevator doors opened and I stepped out.
"Thank you again, I promise I won't let you down." I said thanking him happily.
"I hope you won't, just remember you'll be of great assistance." He said sensually, the elevator began closing.
"What?" I asked shocked at his words.
