The Headturner

First Day

Chapter Twenty Three- First Day

"I got a pocket- got a pocket full of sunshine. I got a..." Anne's alarm went off and she started fishing for her phone.

"Oh.... for fuck's sake, turn it off." Adam cursed beside her and Anne let out a scream.

"Ow my head. Why are you screaming, woman?"

"Y..you...wh.what?"

"What?"

"...." Anne tried to gather her thoughts.

"You don't remember?"

"What?"

"Fuck..."

"We what?" She shouted.

"Sshhhh.... stop with the screaming and shouting already. My head hurts."

Anne tried to get up but got dizzy and sat back on the bed.

"I'm sore."

"Well...." Adam shrugged and grinned cockily.

Anne glared at him. "If you say a word....." she threatened.

"Honey, I bet everyone in the neighborhood heard you last night." Adam put his hands behind his head and rested on the pillow.

"Oh my God." Anne was embarrassed to the core and hid her face in the palm of her hands.

"Exactly." Adam sounded so relaxed.

"You!!! You took advantage of me." Anne wiggled her pointer finger at him, accusingly.

"Au contraire. I have witnesses that will confirm that it was actually you who took advantage of me last night."

"Aarrgghh." Anne turned a color of beetroot and started frantically searching for her clothes.

"Calm down."

"Why? Why should I?"

"Because you are turning me on, getting all aggressive, you fiesty kitten."

Anne squealed. "You stay away from me." She took the duvet with her into the shower.

"Holler if you need me." Adam teased and Anne shut the door with a loud bang.

Anne stepped into the comforting shower and started recollecting her memory. She was at Adam's and was incredibly sore. She found some marks on her body.

"That asshole." She had a love bite of her neck.

She wrapped herself in a towel and fumed when she saw Adam sleeping in the same position she left him in, in only his boxers.

"Put some clothes on, already."

"Why? You liked the view last night."

"Ooooohhhh, I like the viewwwww...." She remembered herself slurring out while ogling his abs.

"What is this, Adam? You know I gotta visit the office today. How am I gonna cover this up?" She pointed at the lovebite on her neck.

"You begged me to mark you as mine, remember? And besides, I have more hickies than you do."

He was right, and it made Anne more mad.

"Where are my clothes, Adam?"

"Yeah, about that. You might want to wear something else."

"What? Why?"

"Well. I sorta... kinda... tore it off."

"You what?" Just like that, the memory flashed back. They were making out urgently. Adam pushed her against the wall, and with her back against him, he tore off the dress saying," I've wanted to do that ever since I saw you in it." and she had let out a moan.

"Shit."

"Why don't you call Tanya?"

"She will kill me."

"No she won't . She has been rooting for us."

"No, she will kill me with all her questions."

"I'm fine with you praising my bed skills."

"You are enjoying this too much for my liking."

"And I enjoy last night too, thank you very much."

Anne growled and charged towards him, punching his arms but wincing in pain herself.

"Okay, okay. I won't tease you anymore and I will call Tanya, alright?" Adam pulled her into a hug and she calmed down instantly.

"God you smell good." Anne cocked an eyebrow at him. "What? You do."

"But Adam.... I........." Adam shut the door on Tanya's face.

"Jerk!!! I am right here and I am not moving until I get the story from her."

"Go away, Tanya."

Adam handed her the clothes. Tanya had brought a turtleneck blouse, high-waisted grey pencil skirt, stockings and undergarments.

"Adam!!!" Tanya was knocking constantly.

"You deal with her." Anne ordered Adam.

He put his arm around her waist and opened the door.

"It's about time. Anne, you tell him that he is rude, mean, jerk-face, douche-bag."

"Yeah, yeah. That I am."

"And I am not your servant." Tanya was behind them, trying to keep up with their pace.

"Annie, Annie."

"You will get the details later, Tanya."

Adam said as he opened the door for Anne and Tanya. When Anne sent him a death glare, he just winked at her and stepped on the accelerator.

When they reached Smith & Co., Anne said to Adam, "If you don't deal with her yourself, I will spoil you reputation, mister."

Adam chuckled as Anne swayed to the office.

The receptionist smiled warmly at Anne as she explained her purpose of visit.

"Hi. My name is Emmanuelle Nolan. But you can call me Emma. Congratulations for getting selected. Hope you will enjoy the work environment. It is very nice working here. I have been working here for two years now."

"Well, that is nice. Ms. Lynch told me to visit her."

"Yes. She is the HR head of our company. I will take you to her."

Emma knocked on the door and enter when told to come in.

"This is Ms. Anne Miller, the new assistant."

"Yes, yes. Hello, Ms. Miller."

"Hello, Ms. Lynch. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. I was not there at your interview as I was abroad. I gather you are a referral from Mr. Harvey?"

"Yes. He is my friend's father."

"I see. I have gone through your CV and you are a smart girl. So, why are you not continuing your study?"

"I plan to. I also want to gain experience meanwhile."

"Mmm hmmm . So, you will be reporting to Mr. David Smith. He is the youngest of the Smith brothers, but also a demanding one. But as long as you follow his orders, you won't have any problem."
