The Arrangement

-FOUR-

it was 3 days later that I realized I probably didnt get the job. Maybe if i wasn't so nervous?

I was in mr. Thompson's office discussing my pitches. " okay I was thinking I could get information about anti gun contr-" I was trying to explain but then his phone rang. "Alright. Thank you." He said then he sighed in frustration. " mr. Dolan Needs you in his office." He said and he extended his hand for my notes. "maybe we can reschedule this mee-" " I'll look over them." He said and I nodded.

I gathered my things and headed down the elevator to the lobby and headed to The Dolan House.

I wonder if this is about the job? Did I get it? Or is he just gonna tell me that I didn't?

I walked through the glass door and headed up to the highest floor. With each stop, one perosn exited the elevator and soon it was just me, heading up to temple where the powerful king quarters.

The elevator dinged, and the doors parted slowly. I took a breath and walked out on the black tile floor.

A young blonde girl, in a black pantsuit, led me to his office down the intimidating hallway, lighted up by the dimmed fluorescent lights and artwork hanging from the walls.

I knocked on the door then it was opened, by a tall muscular physique. Black suit and his dark hair shortish and styled perfectly. His hazel eyes following me as I walked through the door frame and into the huge room. He of course was familiar and so was the office, but it felt as if I had been here for the first time.

"Sit." He said, but I remained standing. He walked over to the his desk and glared at me. He gestured towards the chair but I shook my head. " I'm fine standing thank you." I said and he lifted a brow. He leaned back in his chair and put his feet on his desk.

"You're stubborn." He said and I perced my lips. My facial expression annoyed. "Do you know why you are here?" He asked and i shrugged my shoulders. " for you to critisize me?" I said sarcastically and he got out of his chair. And walked over to me.

" sit." He said with a straight face once again. and by defeat i did. He walked over to the small mini bar presented in the corner of his office. " drink?" He asked and I shook my head. " no. Thank you." I said and he walked back over with scotch on ice.

He sat down in the black chair next to me and leaned back, glass in hand.

"You are here because you are the only person with potential." He said and I bit my lip. "You mean the only woman with potential." I said and he stared at me with a smirk. "Yes." He said and his face quickly dropped to a serious expression.

" you see no one managed to meet the standards... But you." He said and I was shook. "How so?" I asked and he leaned forward. " I wanted you. And I got you." He said and I scoffed. " I'm used to getting my own way." he said. " that must get very boring." I replied. "When I'm the boss, everyone does what i say, so it doesnt." He said and I scoffed. " so you are a control freak?" I asked with a small smile and he took a swig of his glass. " oh I express control in all things Mrs. Ryans." He says in a deep voice. "You'll see. But I need your consent. " He says and my heart skips a beat. "My what?" I ask confused and he finishes the scotch in one sip. "Like I said, you'll see." He says then stands to his feet.

" ill walk you out. And see you first thing tomorrow morning." He says and extends his hand and I grab ahold of it as he helps me out if my seat.

He leads me to the door and opens it for me and I thank him. We proceed to walk down the hallway but before we turn the corner he groans. " fuck it." and he pushes me up against the wall. My breath hitches as I look in the eyes of the multi billonaire bachelor. His lips crash against mine and he slightly moves his hand to my neck and holds it there. He grips my neck and I let out a breath. But then he breaks the kiss and walks down the hall back to his office. " Mr. Dolan you have meeting in 10." The blonde lady said as he turned the corner. He nodded but proceeded to his office. And i was just standing There, wondering what the fuck just happened.
