Chapter 5 YOU ARE HIRED

THEME : YOU ARE HIRED

*** ** ** **** ** *** ****

Leonard shook his head in disbelieve.He couldn't believe that Luna Demetrius, the lady that had occupied his thoughts the whole day was right before him.

Luna was stunned by the sight before her and she stood rooted to a spot. Leonard Cohen was half naked before her and she was as well amazed at how well toned his body was. She have never come across a man as hot and handsome as Leonard Cohen all throughout her twenty two years on earth.

Leonard raised an eyebrow and smirked.

" You can stop staring now" He said as he put on a robe. Luna quickly turned her back at him as her face burned in embarrassment.

" Am so sorry for barging in here like this. I was told to come here for an interview" Luna said.

" Wait here for me." Leonard said as he went into the bathroom.

Luna sat on the couch as she fiddled with her fingers nervously. She felt so stupid to have come into the wrong room but she was sure the receptionist mentioned the 43rd floor to her.

Leonard had a quick bath and change into a plain white shirt and black trousers. He loosened the first two buttons of the shirt and dipped his hands into his pockets as he stepped out of the bedroom.

Luna heard sound of footsteps and her eyes almost burged out of their sockets as she stared at him. Even handsome was an underestimation of what he looked at the moment. He was so breathtaking and look like one of the angels, God took his time crafting the good looking creature before her.

He looked so hot like a model and her mind skipped a thousand times in little time interval.

" You can stop drooling over me now and let's go to my office" Leonard said as he snapped his fingers in front of her eyes.

Luna scoffed and bit her lips in embarrassment. She couldn't believe he caught her staring. She was lost staring at him and she didn't even know when he got closer to her.

Leonard had a smirk on his face as he stared at her. He had many women drooling over him but he didn't know why he somehow felt so happy that she was also one of them.

He walked out of the suite and Luna followed him. They got into the elevator and he pressed the 40th floor.

Luna's eyes widened and she realized that she must have misheard the receptionist.She had gone to the 43rd floor instead of the 40th floor.

They got to the 40th floor and Leonard led her to his office. She could feel so many eyes on her but she cared less, It wasn't like they could do anything to her, she could kill all of them without even shedding a bead of sweat.

Leonard got to his office and sat on the couch gesturing to Luna to sit opposite.

" Do you realize that the interview you came for is over?" Leonard asked.

" Yes, I am aware but I believe since I got the letter of interview then I have to be interviewed" Luna said and Leonard stared at her in disbelieve.

How could she come late for an interview and still claim to have the right to be interviewed? Shouldn't she be begging him at the moment?

He was amazed at her confidence and behaviour. Leonard raised an eyebrow at her honesty and smirked

" What Make you think the interview will be conducted for you?" He asked.

" I don't think so but at least I have to come to be sure. It will be such a pain if I didn't come at all" Luna replied

" Why did you come late?" Leonard asked again.

" Private matters. Besides are you already conducting the interview? Because I will be so hurt if I am just giving answers to this questions ." Luna said. She was getting tired of his questions.

" What makes you think you will get the job?" Leonard asked and Luna took a deep breath in. Her chances of getting the job was so low.

" Not only did I come late but i also barged into your suite and saw you in just your under wears. Left to me, I can't get the job but still there's no harm in trying." Luna replied.

Leonard's eyes darkened as he looked at her, he hated the fact that she had to be so specific about the way she saw him.

" Well, you definitely made a memorable entrance," he said. "But I appreciate your honesty. Let's see if you have what it takes to impress me during this 'unofficial' interview."

Luna's felt a flicker of hope as she sat up straight in her seat. She was determined to make the most of this unexpected opportunity.

As they delved into the interview questions, Luna found herself opening up to Leonard, sharing her experiences, skills, and aspirations. She was surprised by how easy it was to talk to him, despite his intimidating aura.

By the end of the interview, Luna felt a sense of pride in her performance. She may not have followed the conventional rules of job hunting, but she had given it her all.

Leonard leaned back in his chair, studying Luna with a thoughtful expression. "You know what?" he said, a glint of admiration in his eyes. "You may have come late and caught me off guard, but there's something about you that intrigues me. You are hire, Luna Demetrius."

Luna couldn't believe her ears and a smiley curved up her lips.

" Really? Thank you but wait why did you hire me so easily?" Luna asked. She was bothered that he had got to know about her mission.

" Who do you think I am? I am Leonard Cohen, the richest young man in the country. Do you think I will just let you go after you have seen me half-naked? I have to keep you under my watch so you don't go are spreading rumors" Leonard and Luna narrower her eyes as she stared at him. She thought that he had hired her because of the way that she had answered all his questions.

Leonard couldn't think of any other reason than that, he couldn't explain what he was feeling towards her so he needed to keep her around till he found out. He watched her and he was afraid that she might not want the job anymore.

" Ok then I will always be by your side and never leave you alone" Luna and Leonard's heart skipped.

He knew she meant nothing much but he didn't know why he felt like she was making an eternal promise to him.

" This girl is going to be the end of me" he said to himself.

" When should I start working?" Luna asked.

" Tomorrow" Leonard simply replied. He would have loved her to start that very day but that will only get her suspicious.

Luna nodded and she walked out and the office.

Leonard watched as she left and his heart suddenly felt empty as he sighed sadly.
