I walked in his company the next day bright and early. The receptionist looked up from her magazine and smiled at me.

"I'm looking for Max Ryder's office. I work for Mr. Piertorez." I said, she nodded and handed me a pass.

"His office in the last stop on the elevator all the way to the back" she said and pointed to the elevator. I thanked her and got inside the elevator.

As I was going through the floors there were all types of people working for him and they looked happy with there job, well at least he's doing one thing right.

"Hi, I'm Tristan" this cute guy said in the elevator with me, I smiled and shocked his hand while giving him my name.

"I'm an intern here, you?" He asked

"I work for Mr. Piertorez, but I'll be here for a while." I said, he smiled before getting off his floor.

I finally made it to the last floor, it was buzzing with people, as I walked to the back it was getting quieter until you couldn't hear much. His office was pure glass windows, you can see everything at least he had shutters, he had a killer view.

I saw him talking on the phone and waited until he was done before knocking on his door, he grinned at me causing me to internally gag.

"Well, if it isn't Brandon. I'm happy to see you. Now what do you need for our partnership?" He said, I cringed at his choice of words.

"I was here to get to know your company so knowing about the departments would be first" I said, he grinned and called his secretary to have someone from each department to send papers up.

He took me the conference room, as we sat down the boxes started coming. There were about 2 boxes for the departments, 4 boxes for all legal cases, 3 boxes for clients, 2 boxes of employees. As I looked through the boxes Max went more in depth into his company. He told me what drove him to make it bigger than what it was, why he expanded it overseas as well. I couldn't help admire him just a bit, I just have been looking at him for a while because he was smirking at me when I finally came too.

"It's ok to stare, I stares at myself  in the mirror, sometimes too" he said, I couldn't help keep it in.

'Conceited much', I whispered to myself, he was going to say something when a knock interrupted us. I looked up to see Tristan. I smiled at him.

"He's going to help you, I have to go good luck" Max said as he left the room.

With Tristan's help we got through one whole box when it was time to go.

"Even though we were working I really enjoyed your company" Tristan said, I smiled at him,

"Me too" I said, he gave me his number before he told me goodnight.

I packed up my things to see Max watching me with an amused look on his face.

"You accomplished a lot today" he said,

"I had great help" I said, as I finished packing my things when I turned to see his face change.

"Well then I'll help you tomorrow" he said

"It's ok, I already have help" I said as I was just about to walk out the conference room. As I was walking to the elevator I could have sworn I heard him say we'll see.

The next day when I went to get started I didn't see Tristan, I even asked the receptionist at the front to see if she can call Tristan's department. I remember him giving me his number, he picked up on the second ring.

"Hello?" He said

"Hey, this is Brandon. How come you're not at work" I said

"I got fired this morning" he told me

"What, how come" I replied back

"I don't know, from what I can tell from it was someone high up" he said

"I'm sorry Tristan, I'll see what I can do" I told him

"It's ok, you don't have to do that. I'm looking for jobs now" he said

"I feel like I'm responsible" I told him

"No, your not. I wasn't sure about that job anyway, things happen for a reason. I have to look for some jobs so if you don't mind" he said

"Oh, no I get it and I'm really sorry again" I said

"Thanks, I'll talk to you later" he said ending the cal,

I had a feeling of who did it, I headed to his office. Didn't even care about the secretary who was trying to stop me from going inside.

"Well hello there Brandon" he said with a smile on his face, gosh I can feel the hatred I have for him already.

"Why did you fire Tristan?" I asked him

"Oh, your friend. He knew his job was never secure." He said moving from behind his desk,

"You love to play games don't you?" I said when I was a couple feet from him,

"Why do you care about an intern?" He asks

"He was a great help" I said, I don't know why I felt I had justly myself.

"Aww, Someone found a crush already" he said cooing at me, my cheeks got red. He loved pushing my buttons but I can push his back as well.

"Why do you care if I did or did not, is someone jealous?" I said, I knew I hit a nerve and I can't help but be proud of myself.

"You are lucky, your company wants to invest in mine" he forced out, I couldn't help but laugh at his remark

"If I see fit, we can easily find another company to give loads of money too" I said,

Just like that he was right in front of me. We were mere inches away from each other's face. I can feel both our body heat radiating off of us. I don't know how long we stayed there but he was the first to move back. I ran out the room and went to work on the boxes.

Later that night I called Isabella to tell her what happened.

"It was just a moment of weakness for him" I told her over the phone,

"I say if he's sexy than go for it. Everyone knows you need to get laid" she said

"He had sex with Jake" I said

"Who cares, Jake wasn't your boyfriend. Not to mention this is college we're talking about. In my opinion, players are the most experienced." She said,

"I don't think it's a good idea and I'm too busy to have time for someone else" I said she sighed,

"You always say that. You need to have fun once in awhile. Just think about it, and if things happen let it." She said
