was starting to
get really offended.
    “Yes.” I stated
with a scowl on my face, “Like I told Nancy when she asked me this question
twice, Jessica and I spoke in great detail about this position yesterday.”
    I started to
fidget as my leg bounced up and down on the chair. Sebastian was dragging his
hand through the side of his hair watching me squirm in my seat.
    “When you say you
spoke in great detail, did she tell you my expectations of you?” He was looking
at me curiously like there was a hidden meaning in his question.
    “No she didn’t. We
spoke more about the hours of the job, where it was located, and she gave me a
little information about you. We never got around to the employee handbook,” I
said sarcastically.
    There was another
long moment of silence. I swear he did this just to see my reaction. What he
asked next truly shocked me. If I knew this was where he was going with his
questions, I would have left the room already.
    “Do you have a
boyfriend Mia?”
    My mouth dropped
open for a few seconds I couldn’t speak. Then my anger took over.
    “Excuse me?”
    Was he joking? Did
he actually expect me to answer him?
    “I said do you
have a boyfriend? We don’t allow guests in the staff living quarters.” He
looked agitated that he had to ask me a simple question twice.
    I felt a little
silly. He just wanted to make sure I wouldn’t have any unwelcomed guests on his
property. He wasn’t trying to invade my privacy. Wow, I must look really full
of myself.
    “No I don’t have a
boyfriend and you will not have to worry about me having any unwanted guests. I
want this job and I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize it. Plus, I like to keep
to myself.” I was now starting to sweat and I could feel the nausea sweeping
over me.
    Why did he make me
so nervous? God did he have to be so gorgeous? Why do I feel such a pull
towards him?
    This was silly. I
just met him and I am acting like he is some God and I am his follower.
    Sebastian
continued, “You will be expected to get along with the other staff members. You
will be sharing living quarters with the women… among other things. Would you
like to see where your room will be if I hire you?”
    What did he me
among other things? What other things would we share?
    “No thank you. I
am sure it will satisfy my needs no matter how it looks.”
    I needed to leave
now. I hadn’t had a discussion that lasted this long in months. There was no
way I could take this job. I am acting like a complete fool and I don’t think I
can be around him every day.
    “Well Mia, it was
a pleasure meeting you. You seem like you could be a great fit in my home,”
Sebastian said as he stood up from behind his desk.
    “You signed
paperwork with the temp agency saying it was okay for potential employers to
run a background check. I will run a background check and make my final
decision shortly. You will receive a call from Nancy letting you know either
way. If you are hired you will be expected to sign a lengthy contract. I will
expect you to move your things in this Friday and your start date will be next
Monday. Does that work for you?”
    He was thorough. I
guess you have to be when you’re worth over a billion dollars
    “Yes, Sebastian.”
I was so glad he was dismissing me. I had to get out of here before I did
something stupid like throw myself on him.
    Right on time
there was a knock on the door and Nancy walked in. I stood up and shook
Sebastian’s hand. I then started walking towards Nancy to leave his office.
    “Ms. Dechino?”
Sebastian called after me.
    Oh God, what now?
    I turned around to
face Sebastian and stared right into his beautiful blue eyes. He was silent for
a moment before he spoke again.
    “It really was a
pleasure to meet you. I have a feeling we are going to get along extremely
well.”
    I smiled in return
and then turned back towards Nancy to follow her out of his office. I thanked
Nancy when we walked back into the lobby of Sebastian’s
