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.
