Nick’s P.O.V
It was the end of the day. I had done all the interviews that were needed. They were pointless…all of them. I had made my choice hours ago. I knew who I wanted to be my assistant. My very sexy assistant. Miss Miller. I liked her. Plus, she was f*****g gorgeous. She seemed smart too. I like both. Smart and sexy. I do not mind dumb girls, but I prefer my women with some sort of intelligence. I think she was attracted to me too. The way she was looking at me, biting her lip…that is a sign of attraction. She was my type as well. I love curvy brunettes. They are my favourite thing. I decided not to call her on my work phone. Instead, I decided to use my personal mobile. That way I will have her number in my phone, and she will have my personal number. In case we need those in the future.
I got her number from the paperwork she gave me at her interview. I typed the number into my phone, saving it. I rested back in my office chair, my feet on my desk. I hit the call button. It rang one, two, three times before she picked up.
“Hello,” her soft voice said on the other end.
“Good evening Miss Miller,” I said,
“Mr Cairns?” she asked.
I was not expecting her to pick up on my voice that quickly.
“Yes, Miss Miller,” I said, her name rolling off my tongue nicely.
“I told you, call me Riley, Sir.” She giggled down the phone.
I smirked to myself hearing her giggle. I liked her calling me Sir.
“How are you, Riley?” I asked, “I call you Riley, you need to call me Nick.” I added.
“Deal. I am fine, thank you.” She said, “How was the rest of your day, Nick.” She said, chuckling a little when she said my name.
I think I liked the sound of Sir rolling off her tongue. Nick will do, for now.
“It was not as good as my morning,” I said.
I was hoping she would pick up that I was referring to her.
“What was so great about your morning?” she asked softly.
I am guessing she never picked up that I meant her. Either that or she is pretending she does not know what I mean. I decided to play along either way.
“Well, you see, I interviewed someone who was overly sweet. I would like her to be my assistant. She seems very smart. But I am not sure if she wants the job.” I said.
“Hmm, I am sure she would. It is a great opportunity.” She said.
It would seem that she is picking up on it after all.
“So, it that a yes then? Will you come for me, as my assistant?” I said.
She fell silent for a moment on the other end. I was starting to worry she had changed her mind. The silence was making me nervous.
“Riley?” I said softly.
“Yes. Of course, I will take the job.” She finally said excitedly.
I relaxed and smirked to myself. She is the hottest assistant I have had.
“You start tomorrow, at eight a.m. sharp,” I said.
“Yes, boss.” She laughed, “Thank you.” She added.
“I am looking forward to working with you Miss Miller,” I said,
“You too Sir.” She said, “Do I bring coffee in the morning?” she added.
“Yes, for both you and me.” I said, “Tomorrow I will show you the ropes.” I added.
We said our goodbyes after that. I was now in a particularly good mood. Watching her every day is going to make my job that little better. I packed my things up, heading out for the night. I was ready for home. It had been a long assed day. I needed a good dinner, a Scotch.
I headed to my car, heading home. I was exhausted. It took me an hour to drive home from the office.
********
I was relaxing in my study with a Scotch, getting some work done. It never blooming stops. I could not wait until the weekend. I can get a day off. I can go out, relax and get laid. Not in any particular order. I sighed, resting back in my office chair. My eyes fell on my phone. I had an urge to text Riley. I do not know how she would react to that. Would she freak? See it as inappropriate? Would she even still be awake?
I grabbed my phone, opening a blank text to her. Then I came up with an excuse to text her. A really pathetic one at that. It would do though.
Nick: Good evening Miss Riley. I am sorry for texting as late. I realised I asked you to bring coffee, but I never told you what I take. Ha-ha.
As I said, a pathetic excuse. It was better than nothing right? Even if she is asleep, she will get it in the morning. I impatiently stared at my phone. I was not the most patient man in the world. I sat my phone down on my desk, getting back to work. As I did, my phone vibrated against my desk. I checked it quickly, seeing it was her texting me back.
Riley: And you waited until ten p.m. to tell me that? Ha-ha.
Nick: Sorry. I only realised I never told you. I never woke you.
Riley: It is OK LOL. And no, I am still awake.
Nick: Well I am glad I never woke you. What are you doing anyway?
Riley: Not much. In bed, reading. Relaxing before I start working tomorrow.
Nick: Yes, tomorrow is going to be a busy day. Are you nervous? I promise I am not that much of an asshole boss! Ha-ha.
That is not true. I can be an utter asshole as a boss. I do not go easy on my employees. I make my assistant work extremely hard too. She does not need to know this just yet. I do not wanna scare her away.
Riley: Nope! I am fine! I have nothing to worry about. I am good at what I do.
Nick: Good! I like your confidence.
Riley and I text back and forth for a good half an hour. I decided I should let her go and get some sleep. I need her on her top form for tomorrow. We said our goodnights. I finished up my work, heading to bed. I needed to be fresh for tomorrow too. I had a lot of work to and on top of that, I had to show Riley the ropes. I usually get someone else to do that for me, but I think for her I will show her myself. I was gonna make sure I was gonna make the most of her being my assistant in more ways than one. She just does not know that yet. I was tired of chasing the same tail. She would give me something else to concentrate on.
I stripped down, climbing into bed. I set my alarm for five a.m. That gave me time for my run, a shower and time to get to work. I hate getting up that early, but I needed my run, it got my adrenaline pumping for the rest of the day. I was looking forward to work tomorrow now.
