Chapter two

"So Zara tell me about yourself, like your passions, interests anything really," Tom's voice was smoother than what I'd imagined it to be like, and his chocolate eyes seemed very adamant to gain my eye contact, because whenever I'd look away for a brief moments I could feel his stare set on me.

And I was beyond nervous.

"Well um I major in English, I'm actually writing some short stories and articles for newspapers just to get a start for my career," I mumbled out.

"Hmm, and who was it that inspired you to write Zara?"

"My parents, actually my dad he was a journalist and travelled all around the world writing, and the stories he'd tell me from his trips were so fascinating I took aspiration from it and here I am. But my mother she was an author of children's books so she kinda pushed me towards writing as a kid as well"

"Wow well, Zara you sound very well educated and have a great passion, now um can I ask you some more questions?"

"Of course that's why I am here," I said in a chuckle, as for him his face remained in a serious manner.

"Can I see your resume, Zara?" He said grabbing a pen but eyes still glued on to me. I nodded and grasped it out of my bag, as I handed it to him our hands touched and it sounded cliche but he felt so warm and it sent tingles through me.

It had been two minutes and he scanned through my resume and kept glancing up at me while I looked out the window badly wanting to race the raindrop but restricted myself.

He then cleared his throat which caught my attention from my trance. "Zara I am afraid that is all the time we have I checked through your resume and you start Wednesday," he said standing from his seat and buttoning his silky grey suit.

"Oh that's wonderful thank you very much," I said not believing I got the job. I mean he barely asked me questions why would he just give me the job to be a secretary like that.

I was cut out of my thoughts "Excuse me Zara but you will be working as my assistant you will have to come to my office at 8:30 Wednesday morning to get you all sorted out. Any questions?"

"Actually yes, why did you give me the job just like that you only asked me one question and barely read my resume," I said feeling kinda stupid that I had just asked my boss why he gave me my fricking job.

He smiled and simply replied with "we are short on staff and need employees urgently, and you seem to be the perfect fit also you are incredibly pretty" he said with a smile.

Wow I thought to myself he just hired me because he's low on staff and that I am a pretty face not because I would be a great assistant also I'm well educated wow.

I shook my head and pleaded "Right well I'll see you on Wednesday, by Mr Holland" I said through gritted teeth.

He clenched his jaw and said "Tom just call me Tom" he led me to the elevator. The elevator doors were shutting and I just looked down at the floor but could still feel him staring at me with those puppy eyes. I looked up right before the doors shut

"Zara" he curtly nodded, turning to walk away.
