Craving

Chapter 16

There were five applicants seated in a row near the entrance to Sebastians office. Ms. Swan was busy with some documents. When she heard the clicking of my heel she looked up and gave me her usual warm smile. Nodded towards a empty chair and and resumed her work.

Mr Samuels popped out of the office and called the next applicant in. It took about one and a half hour for my turn. Mr Samuel called me in and asked ms swan to join us.

We walked in and i met with Sebastians gaze.
"Ms Vanessa please take seat" he said.
"Thank you" I squeaked. And I cleared my throat as it felt dry suddenly. Sebastian looked at me with a raised eyebrow. And turned to ms swan.
"Ms swan can you please bring us something to drink" ms swan nodded and left.
"Ms Vanessa. Shall we begin then" he asked me once i had a glass of water.

Fifteen minutes later i was walking out of
Sebastians office my nerves in knots. Who do i walk into miss julie. I don't know why she always makes me think of a snake.

"Oh. Hello ms Julie." I stumbled with my words. She just gives me a smirk and rolls her eyes. Ms swan walks out of Sebastians office just as Julie was trying to walk in.
"Ms Julie are you here to see Mr. Sebastian" she asked her.
" yes i am. "
" i am sorry but Mr. Sebastian is not be disturbed at the moment he's in a meeting with Mr. Samuel" ms swan went on to explain.
" can you just tell him to call me when he's done" she says and walked off not waiting for a reply. Ms swan looked at me and shook her head.
"I don't know why she seems in a bad mood these days" I just smiled and nodded.
" well i better get Going then. Thank you no matter what. I hope the secretary will be as good as you" i say to her with a smile.
"Nonsense child. I know she's much better " she says with a wink.
" do you know if they have already selected anyone " I asked curiously. She smiles.
" lets wait and see but I heard Mr. Sebastian saying that he has chosen someone and he doesn't care if Mr. Samuel likes it or not." She ads with a giggle.
" I wonder who it is" ms swan says with a wink.
" I suppose we'll find out soon enough. Ms. Swan did you have plans for lunch?" I asked knowing she hasn't had lunch yet.
" mmm not at the moment. But ill have to see if Mr Sebastian will want me to get him something or has any plans before heading out." Ms swan seemed thoughtful.
" ok if you could find out and let me know. Maybe we could have lunch together. "
" that would be lovely dear. I will call you" she says with twinkling smile. Oh I'm gonna miss her.
"Ok. See you later then." I say and head to the elevator.
When i got to my room i got into a rip jeans and a printed floral top lying down on my couch waiting for ms swan to confirm our plans.
I must have fallen asleep when i was jolted up by the ringing of my phone.
"Hey"
"Hi. Hope I didn't wake you. I called to say im free for lunch now if your ready " ms swan said. A smile spread across my face.
" Ill meet you at the cafe in ten" i said and hung up.
took a look in the mirror applied some Makeup. Took my purse and headed over to the cafe. Ms.swan was seated near the fountain at a far corner. It was a very open bright area.
I took a seat opposite her.
"Did you get Mr Sebastians lunch for him before you came" i asked taking a sip of water.

" not really dear. He asked me if i had any plans for lunch. And I explained of our arrangement. Mr. Sebastian asked if he could join us. And agreed. Is that ok with you." She asked me finally.
"Yes of course. Thats fine" I said and my eye kept darting towards the entrance waiting for the god like figure to show up.
"Shall we order" i asked before peeking at the entrance. And feel a little bit disappointed every time i see someone els enter.
" yes we should. And I'll oder for Mr Sebastian as well. He should be here by the time the orders arrive." She said while placing the order with a waiter.
"Ill have a chicken salad. Glass of wine. A rare stake for Mr. Sebastian. What will you have dear" she asked turning to me.
"Oh I'll have a burger with a strawberry milkshake" i say with a wink.
"I feel unusually hungry. Maybe because the interview in the morning got my nerves all knotted" Ms Swan nodded with a grin. The waiter left with our orders and Ms swan turned to me again and whispered
"You know i think Mr. Sebastian is coming down here for lunch because of you."
"Do you think he's coming to talk about the interview".
"I dont think so. He wont be doing it here. He would ask you to his office for that"
The waiter brought our orders to the table and set it down.
"Will Mr Sebastian be coming now or shall I bring his food when he arrives" asked the waiter.
"He'll be down in a minute. You can bring it when he arrives thank you" ms swan replied in a professional tone. Not the way she talks to me or Adam.
My phone started ringing around the same time Sebastian chose to walk in.
"Ms swan excuse me for second ill take this outside " I said standing up and gave smile to Sebastian and walked out.
"Hello" I answered not knowing who it was as it was an unknown caller. I was getting curious as to who calls but not replying when i answer.
"Hello. Hello" i keep repeating. And suddenly froze.
"Did you miss me" was the reply. All I could feel was my whole body go cold and someone strong held me before darkness took over.
