Oh fuck.I feel myself tremble with a mix of arousal and nerves.It’s the weirdest feeling of my life.
Is he going to admit we met?
“Emily flew to New York on Saturday, so she’s still jetlagged.Maybe go easy on her today,” Julie says.
Oh god, don’t say easy and don’t talk about the flight.
Bastian abruptly stands; his cold stare never leaves mine.Then he addresses Julie.“Thank you, Julie.You can leave us.I’ll speak to Emil...Ms.Harper alone.”
Speak to me?
Heart pounding, I know he’s going to fire me.
This is terrible.I have about two weeks’ savings left after setting up my tiny apartment.Financial ruin aside, going home with my tail between my legs will be just what my father expects.
What am I going to do?
I know I’m capable of doing great work, I just need the right environment and a boss who believes in me.Butoh no, as luck would have it, I met my new boss and his beautiful cock first.
My lip wobbles, but I force a smile as Julie says goodbye.
“Enjoy your day.Call me if you have trouble logging in or finding any of the files.Remember those handover documents on your desk.”
Swallowing, I nod.“Yes, thanks.”
I won’t need them.
I will be escorted out the door within ten minutes.
Bastian and I stare at one another as Julie’s heels pad softly across the luxurious carpet.
Then the door clicks shut.
“Jesus Christ.”He curses, running his hand through his hair as he spins around.
My shoulders slump.
Despite the situation, I can’t help but find him incredibly attractive still.His sleeves are rolled up and the way he musses his hair makes his angry green eyes look wild and sexy.
Get a grip Emily.
“Did you know?”Bastian accuses me.
“No!”I cry, shocked he would accuse me of such a thing.“How could I?I was randomly upgraded.”
He begins to pace while grumbling what sounds like.“Right, yes, and I should’ve been on my jet.Fucking Jeremy.”
He has a private jet?
Who is Jeremy?
I glance around the spacious office and now the shock is subsiding, I connect a few more dots.Bastian is not just a wealthy man that I met on a flight, he’s...holy heck.His name is on the building.
Remington.
Remington Obsidian Holdings.
He’s one of the wealthiest men in the country.
