Chapter 2

'Really? This guy again? I swear I did it on accident, Karma. Why would you do this to me?'

Mr.Asshole cleared his throat then spoke, bringing me out my thoughts. "So we meet again."

No Shit. You would've thought he could've came up with a better welcoming but I guess not. Would it be wrong to act as if I didn't just call him out of his name a few times within the last hour. Whatever. Its not like I have a chance at the job by the way he is looking at me. No need to be fake about it. So I did the best thing to do in any situation. Smile. He didn't smile back but he held that same slight smirk while his eyes held amusement.Which was perfect for what I was about to say.

"Dickwad? Hey! I see you found a new shirt but... I must say your tie doesn't match."

He face fell so fast I had to hold in my laughter. Well I tried, but I was completely unsuccessful. I guess he thought I was going to kiss his butt. He was truly mistaken because that wouldn't have happened with or without the incident. I had to calm myself to reply.

"I'm sorry", I laughed again, " I tried to hold it in. Whew" I wiped under my left eye as if a tear was there.

"Ms.Sullivan", I looked up as he continued to speak. "This is an interview so I would appreciate if you would reframe fro-"

I cut him off. "Exactly! This ,Mister, is an interview not dinner so I would like YOU to stop looking at me like I am a Gazelle. I can handle my own."

He looked me dead into my eyes with a cold gaze. "Well you prove by holding your own that you don't research the job you applying for, swear more than a normal lady, and is completely rude."

I scoffed. "It was coffee not hot oil calm down drama queen. And I am a lady don't you see my skirt?" I took an exaggerated fake smile and curtsy and rolled my eyes. "Plus I did do my research for this job but it was for my position not the person that would be interviewing me. I'm not the one to kiss ass if you haven't noticed. I bring talent and experience to the table not ass kissing." I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes again.

This is stupid. Why am I hear again? I clearly am not about to get this job. I could be sleep or eating right now and not trying to put an asshole in check.

He once again cleared his throat. What is up with this guy?

" I have Halls in my purse if you want some."

"What?" He look utterly confused and gosh, it was adorable.

"For your throat. You keep clearing it. I just thought something was wrong with you." I smirked a little

He frowned. "No i'm alright"

"Are you sure"

"Yes"

"Good"

"Great"

"Fine"

He sighed. "I am not just some hiring manager or an interviewer. I own this company. And what all I'm seeing is rebellious waste of time. Why do you want to work at this company? What good can you do?" He looked at me as if I was wasting his time and I was taken aback. "I did receive your résumé. It was unimpressive and completely under qualifying."

This time my jaw dropped and eyes widened. I was insulted to the fullest. I graduated college a year early with a double major in Business Management and Systems of Engineering. That extra year was spent going back home and managing one of my uncle's construction company. And during all four years I volunteered building house for the homeless. Even then if I didn't qualify for exactly this job I knew I was far from "under qualified".

I thought I was perfect for the job and I was willing to start my way from the bottom to get to the top.
Fuck that. I AM perfect to this job and if Mr.Asshole doesn't want my knowledge and experience then I shall take it else where.

I closed my mouth and sat up straight then responded while he still looked bored. "I am sorry you feel that way".

I stood out of my seat to walk out and after a couple of steps I changed my mind and decided to walk towards him and get my résumé back. If it is unimpressive then he doesn't need to keep it. I sighed as I started to walk with my head held high, shoulders back, and one foot in front of the other. Confidence is key.

I looked directly into his eyes and spoke with no emotion. "I am experienced in business, engineering, management, sales, volunteering, and Architecture. To answer your questions I have always wanted to work here because y'all do good. It showed on the customers and their family members and I just wanted to be a part of something seeming to be great. Making families smile and building homes is my dream job. And I have the knowledge to help and ideas to contribute but I just needed a corporation to give me a chance. Even though I completely disagree with your choice with all of my heart and part of my kidney, I respect your opinion."

I was gonna make him feel bad. Everything I said was true. I made sure to have no emotion in my voice so he can hear every word clearly. He was going to feel guilty for being an ass and I was going to make him.

When I was in arms reaching distance from him the floor wanted a hug and gravity helped. Yup I fell....almost face first into the floor until Mr.Asshole caught me. Feeling the warmth from his body while his arms were wrapped around me was a bitter sweet moment. I groaned in pleasure and irritation then looked into his eyes to speak but froze. My breath hitched the moment I got lost in those gorgeous green eyes. It felt like I was looking at a magnificent pool of green, brown, and gold for hours while in reality it was minutes.

Then something clicked into my head saying 'Yo Jaxs, this is Dickwad remember'.

I untangled myself while he kind of just stood there. I sighed and mumbled a 'Thank You' when we were apart. Once he gained his composure he gave me a stiff nod and handed me my résumé. Then I walked away without a 'good bye'. I thought not saying good bye was rude but in this situation it would've been too friendly so I just walked out and closed the door. I took a deep breath and started to walk towards to elevator ,the last thing I need is to be falling down some steps, until I saw Beth getting called to the reception desk. I guess she was next for the interview.

I walked towards her before she got to the receptionist. "Good luck Bethers, he is a total butthole." She laugh as I walked away. I pressed the button waiting for the elevator to come. Hearing a door shut I turned around to see who it was but it was just Mr.Asshole and he was walking towards Beth.

Once inside the contraption I turned around to give Beth a wave and a warm smile. She returned one back. I guess Mr.Asshole followed her gaze and his eyes landed on me. I responded with a fake smile and rolled my eyes. While the doors were closing I saw Beth say something to Mr. Asshole and started laughing out loud but what took me aback was the amusement in Mr.Asshole's eyes and a full smirk that left a deep dimple in his left cheek.
