Chapter 2 - Job Interview (Part 2)
1957 Words
“Do you think we fit, Mr. Romano?” I asked him as I sat on his lap. I cringed internally and hoped that I sounded sexy. I slipped one arm around his shoulder and rested another on his chest.
“Perhaps.” Mr. Dane Romano replied with a cheeky smile. That was all it took for me to fall for him. I wish I could gush right then and there, but I only gulped my own saliva. He had his arms wrapped around my waist and shivers ran up and down my spine.
This meant trouble for me.
My goodness. I hope this interview will finish soon.
Mr. Romano chuckled softly as he caught me staring at his lips. I darted my gaze back to his eyes shyly, and I couldn’t help but be mesmerized. As we stare at each other, I felt his tightening hold on me.
“You are staring,” he said.
“You are also staring at me,” I retorted back.
“Have we met?” Mr. Romano’s lips were up in a sly grin. Something must be up with him.
“I don’t believe we have met, Mr. Romano.”
He only nodded before silence enveloped us. Mr. Romano wetted his lips, and I followed his action with my eyes.
“So, beautiful, tell me. Are you a virgin?” He leaned over to my neck and purposely rub his nose on my skin.
“Ye—yes, Sir.” I stammered at the hot sensation he was making me feel.
“Hmm...” I heard him mutter before he nibbled my skin softly at the crook of my neck.
Fuck. How could I concentrate on his questions?
“Boyfriends?”
“None, Sir.” I nearly moaned but, luckily, I was able to suppress it. I was about to say that I haven’t had a boyfriend since birth, but I kept it to myself. No need for another embarrassment.
“Perfect.”
“Wait. Um, sir.” I felt like I was losing my hold on the real world. “What is the relevance of those questions to the position of a personal assistant? If hired, what would be my assignment? What would be my responsibilities?”
“You will be with me all the time and just do whatever I tell you to do. It’s the same will all personal assistants.” He said it like it was usual. But I know there is something more.
“All the time, Sir?”
“Yes, all the time. You will live with me for the duration of your contract.”
“I cannot have any day off? I work around the clock? Always on call? That sounds unreasonable.”
“You can have the weekends off, baby, just like any other employee.”
I was glad at first when I heard his reply, but then I realized I will stay in his place. I will have no freedom.
This is so off. We have just met, but he’s already all over me.
What is happening?
Anyway, for the love of my best friend, I will do this.
“And another thing. The job would also entail you to act as my girlfriend, too.”
“What?” I would have fumbled out of his lap if not for his tight hold on me.
He pulled back a little and smiled tightly at me.
“I have a special contract for that. I need to hire a fake girlfriend because I can’t be bothered to look for one. I would like my mom to back off from setting me up with her friends’ daughters.”
My heart was crushed.
Wait. Why would I feel like that?
So, it was only for the contract. I felt a little ashamed for thinking he would be attracted to me. I understood everything, except for his question about my virginity. He wanted me to sit on his lap to check if we could show people we were physically in sync.
Was it really what he was checking? I hope that is all then. But then why did he have to ask about my virginity?
I couldn’t make myself ask him about it or about everything else. I just had to do whatever he wanted for me to do, as I badly needed the money.
Oh, yes! Just then I remembered that more than my friend’s predicament, I was also facing the problem of finding a new roommate or finding a smaller apartment as soon as possible. But I know that it will be a hard feat and this opportunity came right on time. I wouldn’t be able to afford to pay for rent and here came the blessing!
Oops! I’m not hired yet.
Will there be more to this interview?
“May I?”
“Huh?”
“I asked if I can kiss you.”
Why??? And what should I answer to him?
“Yes, Sir,” I uttered softly. My heart was in a panic. I’m not an experienced kisser!
I may have had no boyfriend since forever, but it doesn’t mean that I haven’t kissed a guy. Just a few months ago, I had a make-out session with a guy at the club. I couldn’t remember everything because I was half-drunk. It was my first kiss, but it was one of the most amazing feelings I have ever felt. The bad part was I never got to know the man. My friends and I were dancing and the next thing I knew was the guy and I were kissing in the middle of the dance floor. Moments later, my friends were already dragging me out of the club.
Before I could even prepare myself for the kiss, his face was already an inch away from me. I held my breath in and just closed my eyes and wait for his lips to press on mine.
And then it happened. Mr. Romano’s wet lips were pressed onto mine, and then it moved a bit. His tongue swept across my lips, and then he nibbled on my lower lip. I responded to his soft kisses by following his movements. And before I know it, we were French kissing. My hand had already gripped his hair and the other hand rested on his cheek. His hands were already traveling around my body. And I let him. One hand was at the side of my breast and the other was groping my butt.
“Mmm...” I moaned out. I couldn’t believe the sounds I was making!
We could have brought it to the sofa, as per my understanding of where the interview would happen next when suddenly there was a knock on the door. I quickly stood up in a panic.
Mr. Romano stood up also but calmly smiled at me.
“I have an automatic door lock system. I can lock the door even from my seat.”
“I didn’t know. I—I’m sorry.” I stammered in my reply. I kept my head down low as I try to fix myself. My hair, my clothes. But I couldn’t do anything to my puffy lips. “It might be something important.”
But then he only pressed his intercom.
“What is it, Jan?”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Romano. But I would like to remind you of your lunch meeting and I have documents here that need your signature.”
“Thank you for the reminder. As for the documents, please give me ten minutes. I’m just finishing up my interview with Ms. Scott.”
“Noted, Sir.”
Mr. Romano then turned his attention to me.
“Haven’t you remembered anything, love?” Mr. Romano closed the gap between us and took my chin in between his thumb and pointer finger and lifted my face up.
“Remember what?”
He looked at me with those intense eyes and then just smiled tightly. He took a folder from his desk and handed it to me.
“You are hired, Ms. Scott. Please read through the contracts and let me know should you have questions. You may sit on the sofa and make yourself comfortable.”
“No need, Mr. Romano. I will just sign and get this over with.”
“Are you sure?” He c****d his brow at me.
“Yes. I’m sure.”
I have just signed the contracts provided to me. There were also different forms that I had to fill out for my personal information.
When I was done, I went back to Mr. Romano’s table and forwarded the papers to him.
“I’m already done, Mr. Romano.”
“Great! Did you read the contract?” He eyed me from his chair.
“No.”
“Take a seat first and let me explain to you.” I did not sit down. I thought that this was another trap.
Does he want me to sit on his lap again?
“You may take the sit in front, Ms. Scott.” He gave me an understanding smile and then I felt a blush creeping up my face.
“Both contracts are for six months. I can fire you any time I want, but you cannot just walk away from me. The first contract is for the employee position here in the company, the second is for your role as my fake girlfriend. You should have read the contract, Ms. Scott. Because I basically own you now. I can have my way with you any time I want. And everything you will know about me during your stay with me should only stay with you. Anyway, I will have Jan give you a copy of the contract on your first day, which will be next Monday. However, this Saturday, I want you to pack up and be in my apartment. I’ll have someone pick you up. Did you understand everything I said?” He had his eyebrow c****d at me.
I was flabbergasted. It was stupid to sign his offer. But I can no longer back out and I need the money.
“Yes, Sir.”
All that I needed to do is to make him satisfied, right?
“Great! I will see you on Saturday, then.” Mr. Romano stood up and walked around his table to come to me.
“Are you having regrets already, babe?” He took me by my arm and then wrapped his arms around me. I shivered at his touch, but then I pressed myself to him.
Oh my gosh. He sounded so good calling me babe!
“You should get accustomed to my touch because I will be doing it more often than you can imagine.” Mr. Romano’s lips were over my ear and it made me tilt my head to the side a bit.
“Yes, Sir.” I had my eyes closed when I replied.
“Call me Dane or babe or honey or sweetheart. You take your pick.” I opened my eyes as I felt him pull back from my neck. “I wouldn’t mind.”
“I think I would have to settle with Dane first. Let’s talk about endearments at a later date.”
“That’s fine with me, babe. I have a meeting to attend in fifteen minutes. I’ll have my driver get you home. Will that be okay? So, he would know where to pick you up on Saturday.” He looked at me with those intense eyes.
“Okay.” I nodded my head and gave him a small smile.
In a minute, I was out of his office. But not before he ravaged my mouth again.
