Their Temptation

Chapter one

Starting a new job was hard enough, but starting a new job in a town you had never been to was so much worse. With each step I took down the bustling streets of New York, my nerves slowly increased, my pace quickening. finally standing at the door of the tall building, I reach my hand out for the handle to pull it open. Before my hand touches the cold metal the door os pushed open catching me by surprise. I look up finding an older man about 60 years old with grey hair brushed to one side. A black suit covering his strong appearance.

"Good morning Miss Baker." He greets.

The fact that he knew my name caught me off guard. "How did you?" I question not quite finishing my sentence, but somehow he knew what I meant.

"It is my job to know the names of everyone important here and you are the newest. I am Frances, It is nice to meet you."

I nod my head still slightly confused. "It's nice to meet you as well." I greet after my shock has warn off. "I must get going thought, I wouldn't want to be late." I continue walking backwards before turning around slightly to continue in the other direction. As my body rotates, it doesn't quite make the full turn before I find myself bumping into someone. I loose my balance and begin to fall, my purse falling from my grasp and landing on the floor. My heart drops down into my stomach as I feel myself starting to get pulled towards the ground from gravity. However before I make the no doubt painful and emberassing fall onto the cold marble floor, a strong pair of arms wrap around my torso.

"You can open your eyes now." A deep voice states as they steady me. I slowly open my eyes not sure on what to expect, and look up to find bright blue eyes staring back into my dull grey ones. I briefly look over this persons features and realization quickly takes over, that I am in fact in the arms of one out of the two CEO's. The youngest of the Adler brothers, Holden.

"I am so sorry Mr Adler, I should have been paying better attention." I apologize my eyes probably holding fear.  

The Adler twins are known for their ruthless Dimenor, they fire people on the spot simply for looking at them. Who knows what they will do to me for bumping into them.

Ignoring my apology he turns around stating a simple "Follow me."

I frantically pick up my bag from the floor. Thank goodness nothing spilled out. I follow him through the lobby all eyes on me. I have been here for all of 5 minutes and have already managed to find a way to loose my job. Why do I have to be so clumsy? I mentally face palm myself. We walk past the employee elevators and end up at what looks like a private elevator. He presses a button and it imediatly opens. He ushers me inside, his hand placed on the small of my back as he follows me inside.

Silence envelops us and the atmosphere becomes somewhat awkward. When the elevator doors ding open he leads me out. I step aside making room for him to step out and lead the way. I follow him and he opens the door to what I assume is an office. I walk in and as I do I see the other Me. Adler, Hudson on the phone, his expression angry.

Seconds later yelling fills my ears. "You have been given multiple opportunities to show us that you deserve to be here and still you under preform."

He is silent for a little bit before he speaks again. "I don't care that you worked under my dad, you aren't doing your job, I'm not going to argue with you either. You are fired!"

He hangs up the phone taking a deep breath before turning to the two of us.

"Is this her?" He questions.

"Yes."

"I sincerely apologize for bumping into you Mr. Adler, I should have been paying more attention. Please just don't fire me. I really need this job. It's not exactly the best of circumstances to be living in New Yourk flipping burgers at McDonalds. I would have to move back to my hometown, I can't go home. A girl can only take so much pestering from her mother before she breaks and I lost that ability several months ago." I rant, zoning out, my attention fixed on the floor.
