AN/ No smut :D
“Can you stop doing that Luke?” I ask him as he looks up at me all innocently.
“Stop what?” He asks.
“Pressing your thumb to your lips, it makes me want to press mine against them.” I tell him, he giggles and puts his hand down.
“Sorry Mr. Clifford.” Luke whispers, he continues reading in silence.
“Hey Luke?” I ask out of nowhere as I see one of the mails I’ve gotten, the mail bringing a smile to my face.
“Yes?” He asks me.
“I feel like there’s tension so let’s play 20 questions.” I tell him, he frowns but nods at me. Something on his hand makes me jump up.
“The ring?” I ask him, he looks down at it and blushes.
“Calum gave it to me, said you told him to give it to me when I was calm after our weekend away. I love it, thank you.” Luke says, he’s blushing and it made me blush too.
There’s a knock on my door and I look to see a young woman standing at my door, I nodded at her and she walked in.
“Hello Mr. Clifford.” She says, batting her eyelashes at me.
“Goodmorning, how may I help you today?” I ask her, I’ve never seen her before in my life.
“I ehm I was told to come up here for the interview?” She asks me, I widen my eyes and then nod at her. Of course they were still planning on replacing Luke.
“Of course, sorry I wasn’t informed that I was doing an interview today.” I tell her. She blushes and looks over at Luke.
“Ehm please take a seat.” I tell her, pointing at the empty chair next to Luke. Luke was ignoring this and reading the file.
“So, do you have a CV for me?” I ask her, she nods and hands me a CV, her shirt was opened up too far and I could see her bra.
“I can see you’ve got excellent work experience, why did you leave your last job?” I ask her.
“Cutbacks sir, we worked in a department with 3 people and I was last to come in.” She says, I nod and then read further.
“Good university degree.” I say as I continue reading.
“So Miss?” I ask her, she nods excitedly.
“Miss Kerry, why do you think you’d be perfect for the job as my assistant?” I ask her, she glances over at Luke nervously and then back at me.
“Not do sound rude but was I interrupting something? Like an important meeting?” She asks me, looking over at Luke again.
“Nope, ignore him this is an interview so it’s about you and me. Or would you feel more comfortable without him here?” I ask her, Luke looks up at me hurt but then eyes her. I hide my smirk at how disgusted Luke looks at her, her skirt was too short, her heels to high and her bra was showing. Even if I was straight I’d not go for that.
“Ehm no it’s fine, I’m just a little nervous.” She says.
“Mr. Hemmings, would you mind waiting outside please? To make the lady more comfortable.” I tell him.
“Of course Mr. Clifford sir.” Luke says, he stands up and walks out, bringing the file with him. Miss Perry looks at him shocked.
“Mr. Hemmings as in the son of the boss?” She asks me.
“Yes, it’s ok though I’m in charge in this office. Now please tell me why you’d be perfect for the job?” I ask her, she bats her eyelashes at me and licks her lips.
“Well I’m very good with numbers, and remembering things. I’m a very organized person, very eager to please.” She says that last bit in a lower voice, was she trying to seduce me? I tilt my head at her and smile because I was going to be polite about this.
“It’s nice to hear that Miss Perry, are you ok with working long hours?” I ask her.
“Ow yes Mr. Clifford sir,” man I hated how my name rolled over her lips, “I’d be happy to even work overtime if I have to.” She tells me.
“Nice to know.” I tell her, looking over her resume.
“Tell me 2 positive and 2 negative things about yourself.” I tell her, she leans back and seems to be getting more comfortable.
“2 positive things would be that I’m very punctual and organized, 2 negatives would be ehm that sometimes I go out of my way to get done what needs to be done and people often dislike that. Also ehm I often get very stressed out about work but then I go work out, I feel like a healthy body means a healthy mind so I stay fit and work out to blow off steam.” She says to me, she runs her fingers through her hair and then smiles at me.
“Would you be ok with getting my food and coffee order?” I ask her, she nods eagerly.
“Anything you ask sir and I’ll do it, anything really.” She says, winking at me at the end.
“I think I’ve heard enough, I’ll go over your resume later again. Let me walk you out?” I tell her, I stand up and walk to the door with her. She giggles as I hold the door open and then I even put my hand on the bottom of her back as I lead her to the elevator.
AN/ hehehe, ok so what do you think the 20 questions is for? How do you think Michael handled that interview? Do you think Miss Kerry will get the job? This is actually just a filler chapter ^^

Romance"I'm not wearing a dress and neither are you. This is not another Cinderella story!" Luke groans at me, he's looking down at me from his window as I stand in his back yard. "We sure do sound cliché enough to be one!" I tell him laughing, he bites hi...
