Chapter six

Selena got home excited, showing her best friend the bundles of cash, "how did you get so much money on your first day at work?"

She explained the scenery and Olivia gasped in shock, "WOW,he is such a gentleman"

"He threatened me Olivia!"

"Oh please do it again with that sexy man if he is going to pay you well"

Selena glared at her ,knowing she was a lost case,she dropped her hand bag going into her room to have her bathe.

"Did Jake contact you yet?"Olivia asked.

Selena eyed dimmed at the mention of his name, " sadly no,most times I reach out to him but he has not even said hi"

Out of anger,she picked up her phone and texted him, "let's break up" then blocked him for life,bad riddance to bad rubbish.

She sighed going in to have her bath,her emotional life was a wreck,her financial life too was a wreck nothing was going well.

She felt sad, hugging her knees in the shower letting all the tears drop from her eyes.

She loved him for ten good years, the one night stand with that man was just a temporary rebound,she felt sad.

Crying furiously,he didn't even bother to message her,she felt hurt,she wanted him to call her so badly and tell her she was just dreaming and the reality was that he truly loved her.

No time to be sad,she had to prepare for work the next morning and be officially introduced to the crew.

She barely slept that night, even after blocking him, a part of her wanted him to message her and tell her he missed her.

But her phone remained silent,by morning she forced herself up and reluctantly went to shower,she stared at her reflection through the mirror.

Her red -rimmed eyes and exhaustion were plastered on her face evidently,she had no time to dwell on unimportant matters.

Today was important,her first real day.

She arrived at the office on time,dressed in a simple black blouse and fitted pencil skirt. Olivia had insisted she looked drop dead gorgeous but she didn't have energy for that but she still forced her to do it.

Right now she needed to focus on her job,and face her frustrating boss.

As she entered the grand office lobby she heard whispers.

"Isn't she the new assistant?"

"I heard boss specially hired her"

Selena frowned,of course murmuring her second day at work.before she could process it,a woman approached her.

"Hello I'm Miss Rose nice to meet you,the head of directors and I am here to show you around"

"Listen here, everyone slept their way in including me and some way or the other you would be asked to give up your body for your job"

"And why is that allowed here?"

"Because our boss is a sex freak"

Before Selena could respond,the door burst open, "Miss Rose, are you fine scaring my assistant?"

Damon stood there,his tall imposing figure ,his eyes gleamed with amusement but there was an underlying edge in his tone.

Rose scoffed, "just giving her some advice"

His gaze shifted to Selena, "my office now!"

The moment they got inside his office,he sat on his desk crossing his arms.

"What did she say?"

"Nothing I can't handle"

"Good because I need an assistant with a thick skin"

"Do you enjoy making my life difficult?"

His smirk widened, "oh sweetheart, you have no idea"

"Are you this overbearing?"

"Only with you"

Her breath hitched with his remark,he sounded possessive just now or maybe it was her imagination.

"Back to business,your first task-book a private dinner for me tonight at La Rivers restaurant"

She frowned, "a business dinner this late at night?"

"No"

"A date?"

Damon didn't answer her right away,his silver eyes studied her reaction before speaking, "just do as I say"

She felt something strange in her,for some reasons she was annoyed and she had no idea why.

But she didn't like the idea of it.

She sat at her desk next to him, staring blankly at her computer screen,but she didn't miss the fact that he was staring at her relentlessly.

This was infuriating, and now she had to book him a dinner date.

She sighed heavily, pulling up a reservation system for La Rivers,the most expensive restaurant in the city,who was the lucky girl she wondered about.

She gritted her teeth as she typed in the details.

Reservation for Damon Ravens wood, private table for two, 8pm.

Her fingers hovered the keyboard,who was he meeting.

His girlfriend?

His fiancee or perhaps his wife?

Just do as told!

His harsh remark played in her ears.

She Clicked confirmed.

The moment she did,a deep voice interrupted her thoughts, "you seem upset sweetheart?"

She nearly jumped out of her chair when she saw him hovering over her while leaning on her desk table, "do you usually sneak up on people?"

"Only when they are thinking about me"

His smirk widened.

She blushed but she refused to give in, regaining her composure. "Your dinner reservation is confirmed sir"

"Sir? That's new?"

She faked a smile.

"Or would you prefer 'your arrogance' instead?"

"I prefer you call my name?"

Her breath hitched, realizing the close proximity of them, clearly satisfied with her reaction,he straightened his composure.

"I will be leaving early today, want me to drop you off?"

"No thank you"

She was still annoyed, but he didn't press on "well I believe you can handle yourself then"

She rolled her eyes internally, 'obviously'

"Good. I will see you tomorrow Miss Carter"

And with that he walked away knowing if he stayed longer in that room with her,she wouldn't survive his dirty mind.
