🔥 PLAYING WITH FIRE 🔥

3. Diamond meets Roman

Diamond's POV: It was my first day of work at Peter's Incorporated and of course I was fuckin late. I was mentally kicking myself. Like damn Diamond how in the hell are you late on your first day. I was getting ready. The secretary called me yesterday evening and told me to be there at 8 a.m for a company meeting and here it is 7:39 , I'm still not ready. I wanted to make sure I had all of my notes, resume, and important documents in my portfolio. I heard that my boss was sort of a jerk. I wanted to make a good first impression.

I decided to wear a black dress that came to my knees but hugged my curves, black laced stockings, and black pumps. I straightened my curly hair but left it down. I put on red lipstick, with gold accessories. I grabbed my briefcase and headed out the door. I was looking extremely cute but felt like an idiot for being late.

Of course, the traffic was bagged up. I wanted to cry. Omg what if he fires me? What if he chews my ass in front of everybody for being late? "Relax Diamond" I told myself. I finally made it there. It was 8:15

I checked in with the receptionist.

"What is your name ma'am"?

"Diamond.. Diamond Jones".

"Yes ma'am right this way, Mr. Peters is expecting you".  I followed her. I thought to myself oh shit. She took me into this room filled with people. I walked in. She left me standing there.
Roman looked at me..

"You're late "!

"I know I'm sorry, it's my first day I got lost. I'm diamond ". He stopped me

"Yes Ms. Jones, please sit down, & next time don't give me any excuses just don't let it happen again ". I looked at him.

"Yes sir".

I sat down. I couldn't believe how much of an asshole he was. I mean I know I'm 15 minutes late but damn I'm new cut me some slack. Even though he was a asshole, he was incredibly gorgeous. He is tall, slim, he's Caucasian, he has darky wavy hair, beautiful eyes, lips, has earrings in his ears and he's wearing that fuckin suit. I was taking notes. I noticed he was watching me. He was talking and every few seconds he would lick his lips. That made me feel weak. The meeting was over. Roman wanted to see me in his office to give me my first assignment . I went in to his office.

"Please sit down Ms. Jones".

I sat down.

"First off, I'm Roman Peters. I own this company, it's nice to meet you". He smiled

"Same here sir. "

"You don't have to call me sir, Mr. Peters is fine".

"So Ms. Jones, do you have your portfolio"?

"Yes, sir". I handed it too him. He read over it. He seemed impressed.

"Very impressive, I see you're from Arkansas"?

"Yes."

"Hmm, I've never been, what is it like?"

"Small". We laughed .

"You're 22"?

"Yes I am".

"I only see that you graduated at the top of your class at the University of Arkansas. Very impressive"!

"Thanks". I blushed a little.

"Ms. Jones, I'm glad to have you here with us. I'm going to pair you with Josh Adams we're working on a advertisment for a new shampoo that just came out, we need a really good pitch, do you think you can handle it"?

"Yes, Mr. Peters I can".

He licked his lips.

"Good. His office is the second down the hall, go see him please".

"Thanks ". I got up to leave.

"Oh , and Ms. Jones"? I turned to him.

"Yes?"

"Try not to be late again ". He said with a serious look.

"Yes sir". I walked out his office.  I went to find Josh. He was so nice & sweet. We worked really hard. He said we would have to present this to the boss in the morning. We worked up untill almost 8pm. I was so exhausted but I think we got a great presentation. I hope Roman likes it..

Josh: bye diamond. See you tomorrow!

Me: bye Josh, thanks for being so sweet!

I was walking down the hall. I heard a voice.

"Goodnight, Ms. Jones". It was Roman.

"Goodnight, Mr. Peters". I left the office and went home I was tired and super hungry.

I made it home, Jasmine my friend and roommate from back home wasn't there yet. I decided to cook some pasta. I sat there eating and thinking about Roman. He was so fuckin sexy, a little cocky, arrogant, & big headed but I saw something behind his eyes. I saw a sweet guy. He tried to hide it. Why am I thinking about him? I could never date him, he's my boss!! I ain't gonna lie though, it's gonna be hard not too.  Jasmine came home.

Jasmine: girl why you didn't tell me you was working with the Roman Peters?

Me: I didn't know it was a big deal too you.

Jasmine: girl hell yes, he is like the hottest CEO around here. His company makes millions of dollars , just by promoting shit. He owns a beautiful house in Beverly Hills. He's sexy as hell. I hear he's a man whore though.

Me: I don't know, I just work with him, I've only known him for less than 24 hours.

Jasmine: is he fine or not?

Me: Jasmine, stop!!

Jasmine: omg, you think he's fine don't you?

Me: why do you say that?

Jasmine: girl because you blushed, when I asked you was he fine. You are so hot for him.

Me: no, no I'm not. Jasmine you are so horny!! We laughed. I took a shower. While laying in bed, once again I was thinking about Roman. He was fine, so fine. Damn it snap out of it Diamond.
