Tormented

2. The Job

James POV

"What the f**k?" I hear as the door opens and a woman steps into the room. Her once determined face has faded and is replaced with disgust and confusion.

Her eyes the color of hazel, her body the shape of an hourglass, with the face of an angel.

She's beautiful.

I quickly remove my secretary's lips from mine and she jogs out of the room as I readjust myself and try to look presentable. I completely forgot I had an interview today.

Why didn't Victoria call me?

I cough. "Would you mind sitting down?"

She stands there for a minute, staring at me, then looks down and walks to my desk and takes a seat in one of the guest chairs in front of my desk. She looks back at me with her hazel eyes staring right through me, imagine that hourglass on my bed...

I shake my head.

No, this is an interview, not one of my nightly sluts.

"Miss Freeman," I start "why have you applied for this job?"

"I want a better life for me and my parents, and this was the only job that caught my eye, so I flew in from New York ." She says with a mild clear voice despite what happened earlier.

Also, she came to California all the way from New York, for this job. I'm already seeing her devotion.

She just gets better and better...

I shake my head again.

"Is there a problem?" She asks.

Yes.

"No." I reply, not even sure if that's true. What is with this woman that attracts me so strongly?

I might have a problem.

Right now, all I'm thinking about is her looks and how nice her body is.

Right now, all I know is I would like to get to know her better. I can arrange that.

At this thought, I smile.

"Should I leave?" She asks with disappointment in her eyes.

"No, no, I'm sorry, where were we?"

Lucy POV

She set me up.

Damn typing lady, she didn't even call him, did she? And she knew he was in there with another woman.

Plus, the employer is...

Oh God, what did I get myself into?

He's not even paying attention to what I'm saying and he has a strange look in his eyes..almost like lust. Like how he used to look at me.

I shiver and dismiss the thought.

That couldn't be it, I mean he just had this girl in here with him, isn't he already satisfied? His eyes are glazed over as he scans over my body. It's like he's eye raping me.

Ew. This isn't worth it.

"I'm sorry, I've wasted your-" I'm interrupted before I can finish my sentence.

"You got the job." He says, looking me directly in my eyes.

His handsome face and navy blue eyes pierce into me.

I didn't even notice how cute he is...Stop, that's your boss now. Still...I could almost feel the heat that was radiating out of them.

I nod nervously, maybe this wasn't a good idea...still I'm hired, and that means I'll be paid, so there's no problem. I just have to keep my distance from this guy.

"Come back on Monday and you can get started, I'll send you your schedule in the mail sometime this week, welcome to the family." He smiles and I nod.

"Thank you for the job." I say and get up to leave.

I'm halfway to the door and I can still feel his heated gaze on my backside. I cringe. I quickly open the door and step out, but not before I hear him chuckle while saying my name.

That interview was a disaster. He didn't even look like he was listening to anything I was saying. How am I going to survive Monday?

I sit on my couch and turn on the tv then change it to the news. Gotta stay updated with what's going on in the world.

I silently watch and digest the information until I see my new boss appear on the screen.

"Mr. Brown has been caught with yet another model and is...."

I turn off the tv and sigh. I doubt I'm going to make it on Monday morning. But I just have to power through, I guess.

I get up from my couch and make my way towards my bedroom, still thinking about my boss and his behavior. As long as he doesn't try anything with me, I'm fine.

I sigh, getting in my bed.

This is the start of my new life. I hope it's just like I dreamed.
