The Tycoon's Desire

Chapter Eleven

I don't know, I feel a little weird about this chapter.. it will most likely be re written but not in a way that it will change the rest of the story line too greatly. But please comment and vote.. Tell me what you think xx

I sat alone in front of the desk for a few minutes. Mr Charles, I scoffed quietly, had decided to leave the room without saying a word and left me sitting here for several minutes. I started to worry if I had already failed this interview and contemplated leaving before he returned with the bad news. But just as I was finishing this thought, he returned looking cocky and confident. I don't know why that seemed to work for him. Maybe he got the right balance. When I first met him I found him so alluring because of it and now I just feel nothing but anger. I just wished I could get this over with already. "I apologise for leaving without a word Miss Taylor, I had to quickly attend to some urgent business." he said, as he took his own seat. "That's quite alright." I replied in a clipped tone. I saw his eyes harden ever so slightly breaking his confident facade. I had somehow angered him and I revelled in that. I looked him right in the eyes letting him know that I knew I had gotten under his skin. Travis suddenly leaned back in his seat and started asking the basic questions you would hear at any interview. I basically had no experience in personal assistant work so I was still a little confused why such a prestigious company would want to hire me. But seeing as I was already here, I was determined to give this interview my best shot, so I did the best I could.

I tried to keep a calm and cool composure through the iterview but my body had different ideas. Heat was just rolling around my body burning deeply from the pit of my stomach. I suddenly had an image of Travis naked and hot looking at me with the same burning intense look in his eyes and I felt my body become impossibly hotter than it had ever been. This man was just confusing my senses and I didn't like it. He might think every woman on this planet would fall all over themselves for him but I refused to be part of that. I noticed him raise an eyebrow at me and a slow smirk followed. Confusion filled my face as I had absolutely no idea why he was looking at me like he was waiting for something. "What?" I asked him curtly. "Well that's not a good sign Miss Taylor if you can't even pay attention to me during the interview. How will you be able to listen to me on a daily basis?" he asked in an amused voice. I choked as I gasped in shock. This job was to work as his PA? I don't think I can do this job, being around this man almost every day, for most of the day. I started to panic slightly. What if he found out about... No ofcourse he wouldn't. Nobody even knows about Eva so he wouldn't know. I relaxed slightly then balked when I realised that he implied I would be working with him. Did that mean I had a job? This has been one crazy week! How can I go from being employed in a shitty dead end job, to being unemployed, and then to being employed by one of the most prestigious companies around?

I was just filled with an immense feeling of relief. Finally I had a decent job and I bet my pay packet would make sure I no longer tittered on the edge of poverty anymore. We stood up to shake hands but Travis had different ideas clearly. He came around the table and caressed my hands ever so gently and brought his mouth close to my ear and said seductively "I do look forward to working with you Sylvia. I'm sure you will entertain me to no end." I felt a shiver of excitement upon hearing his words but I think he heard my heart beating out of it's chest for he placed a chaste kiss on my neck that seemed to linger before stepping back. Good. I needed the space and some air to breathe. I hated how he affected me and I hated myself for being affected. "So when do I start?" I asked. I just wanted to get the information I needed and go home but my plans were drawn short when he said "Right away. We must go shopping for your work attire. It's company policy for all staff to wear appropriate attire when employed in our service and we give an allowance for that. Luckily for you, I can personally take you there as I am free all day." He ended with that infuriating smirk of his as I just stared on in shock. Surely this wasn't normal was it? I just relented as I wanted this day to be over already.
