Chapter 2 I GOT THE JOB

• Selena Ryder' POV :
• I nervously shifted my foot as I looked around. I was currently sitting in a chair in the waiting area of Mr. Arthur's secretary's office. I glanced at my wristwatch to see that it was now exactly 9am. After taking the bus a few blocks from where I lived I was at Arthur Corp at exactly 8:50am. It was at that time that I met Mr. Arthur's secretary Delaney.
• Delaney was a beautiful middle aged lady. She had shoulder length chocolate brown hair, big brown eyes and a pretty smile. She was quite lovely and made me feel comfortable right away.
• "Selena dear."
• I looked up to find Delaney smiling at me. She had one of those motherly smiles, which was understandable since she was a mother of three.
• "Yes Delaney."
• "He's ready to see you now."
• I took a deep breath and shakily stood on my feet, this was it, time to land myself a job. But why did I suddenly feel so nervous.
• "Don't worry dear." Delaney spoke reassuringly "You'll do great"
• Delaney walked ahead of me towards Mr. Arthur's door and pushed it open.
• "Cony dear." She spoke surprising me, "Miss Ryder is here."
• "Send her in." A deep voice spoke.
• I stepped inside, nervously glancing around the room. It was an elegant looking office. The walls were painted white while the furnishings varied between black leather and glass. I walked up to the table where Mr. Arthur sat his back turned towards me.
• "You may sit." he spoke softly.
• "Thank you." I mumbled in reply as I sat in one of the chairs facing his chair.
• I sat there for around two minutes in complete silence before he finally decided to swivel around in his chair. When he did my heart jumped up to my throat. I thought that he was a older man but I was quite surprised to find a young man with black hair and beautiful green eyes staring back at me. His brows were furrowed as he looked at me and then he started smirking.
• "Like what you see?" He asked cockily.
• I quickly snapped out of my surprised daze. I can't believe I was just checking him out but never would I admit it.
• "I'm just surprised that your not a lot older." I replied a smirk now on my face as I saw his eyes widened in surprise. He probably expected me to drool at him and fall at his feet.
• He cleared his throat before he spoke again, "Let's carry on with this interview, Miss?"
• "Miss Ryder."
• "Right, Miss Ryder." He continued, "Why do you think that you should get this job?"
• "I won't lie to you Mr. Arthur, this is a great corporation and I can tell that there will be a lot of work to be done. I pride myself on being very hardworking and I can promise you that I will always give my all to ensure that things run smoothly on my end."
• He studied my face as if searching for something. I stared right back at him refusing to let him see how intimidated I was.
• He swiveled around in his chair to once again face the glass wall. He spoke whilst gazing out of the building.
• "I expect you here first thing Monday at exactly 8 in the morning, do not be late."
• "W-what ?" I gasped, "I have the job?"
• He swiveled around again this time to face me, "Don't you want the job?"
• "Yes of course." I nodded my head, "Its just you didn't ask about my qualifications and stuff like that."
• "You graduated from Yale university with first class honours, you used to work at a law firm out of town as an assistant." He paused, "Should I continue?"
• "No need." I breathed out, "You won't be disappointed."
• He didn't say anything else as I stood and turned to leave. I could feel his unwavering and intense gaze on me as I left the room.
• I couldn't fathom why he would be staring at me like that. I mean just look at him. He's like a Greek god. The dark hair, the beautiful eyes, the delectable body.
• "Selena dear." Delaney spoke up, "How'd it go?"
• I smiled at Delaney, thankful that she unknowingly calmed my wayward thoughts.
• "Well." I said with a sigh, "I got the job."
• "Oh my gosh," She squealed, "I'm so happy for you."
• "You call up some friends and celebrate, I'd go with you but I promised my baby girl that we'd go to the carnival."
• "Maybe next time." I said smiling at her.
• I left the building with a smile ever present on my face. I had a new job with a sexy boss that I'd just love to.... Oh crap! I really should stop thinking about him in this way. This may just be harder than I thought.
