Chapter 4
Liam slammed down the receiver and raked his hands through his hair in frustration. His straight black hair glistened through the light. His jaw tout, he wondered if there are not brilliant girls anymore. He was damn tired of everything. All the ladies he interviewed were one way or the other not fit to be his assistant. One in particular even came in gown so revealing and short that if she stooped to pick up something, one would see her panties. Liam grimaced, feeling irritated by the thought. That particular lady, what was her name again? Lois or something, she had tried to seduced him but Liam wasn't turned on by the advances she made at him.
" Seriously? " He muttered under his breath. " So some girls seduce their way into getting a job, really? " He shook his head.
He was stressed out so he decided to take a break. He stood up, went over to the couch where his spare clothes lay. He had to change his clothes, the last lady who came for the interview, the one in the short gown, had touched him in a bid to seduce him and get the job. He had snatched his hands away from her and practically shoved her out of his office and slammed the door shut on her face.
He pulled off the shirt and was in the process of wearing the new one when the door opened and someone entered. He didn't hear someone knocked. The lady who entered turned her back to him to close the door.
" Hmmm nice ass " he said under his breath, already feeling his d*ck stand. Wow, he thought. He hadn't feel a thing when that slut went as far as touching him so what's this? He asked himself. The lady searched the room as if looking for something, until her gaze rested on him. For like three minutes, he felt like time stopped, that everything didn't exist except for them, that there were in a world where only the both of them mattered. They stayed that way for more minutes. The woman had brown eyes the color of honey
God, this one will be trouble, he thought. Then he finally broke the silence " Take a picture, it would last longer " he smirked, happy that he was having an effect on her.
The dazed, hungry look on her face disappeared as quickly as it appeared and she regained her composure.
" Good day sir. I'm Carla Reeds. I'm here for an interview " she finally said, looking at him from under her lashes. She looked at his abs one more time before looking up at him.
" Have a seat, I'll join you in a sec " he said before concentrating on buttoning his shirt. He left the two top buttons undone and rolled the sleeves up. He then joined her and took his seat. Carla started talking immediately his rear end hit the chair.
" I'm Carla Reeds. I applied for the post of a P.A few days ago so I'm here for an interview " she said before adding, " Here is my résumé " she brought out her documents and stretched out her hands to give Liam who took it from her without a word. He looked over her file and saw that she was a brilliant one and she had good qualifications which means she was perfect for the job. He looked up over at her and she bit her lower lip under his scrutiny.
" You have a very good qualification, Miss......" He trailed off, already forgotten her name.
" Carla...... Carla Reeds " she helped him out while he looked at her apologetically.
" So Miss Carla, how much would you like to paid monthly? " He asked.
Carla was starting to feel uncomfortable under his stare. She looked at him and found him staring at her like she was some sort of artifact he had never seen before. She named an amount and he looked incredulous.
" Is that the amount you'd really like to be paid?" He asked. She automatically assumed he meant the money she was asking to be paid was too much.
" Okay it's fine. How much are you willing to pay me?" She asked quickly, not wanting him to think she was too greedy. Liam named an amount and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets in bewilderment. My God! He was offering me three times the amount I originally mentioned. How could I say no to such a generous amount? Carla thought. She couldn't think of anything sensible to say, she just mumbled some incoherent words.
" Sorry? " Liam raised one eyebrow in question.
" Like are you really going to pay me that huge amount?! " She asked, her eyes huge.
" Yeah. Whatcha say to that? Too small? " He probed further " I can add more if you want "
" No no no it's fine " she said quickly then immediately regretted. She didn't want to sound desperate so she quickly regained her calm composure and maintained a straight face.
" Alright then " He brought out some papers from his drawer and handed it to her before saying, " Now here are some rules and regulations for you to go through and review "
" And again, if I must say, " he continued , " You're still on probation, you know, so if you do well, we will retain you permanently, but for now, your work here is temporary, do you understand? "
She nodded in understanding, " yes I do " she replied. She extended her right hand for a shake. He clasped her hands in his and immediately, she felt an electric shock course through her. It was a warm feeling of sensation and I loved every minute of it. She looked up to see if Liam felt the same way. Surely enough, his eyes had darkened up to a deep shade of ocean blue. She saw desire flashed through his eyes for a moment but it disappeared as quickly as it came. She snatched her hands away from his hurriedly as if she was burnt.
" Congratulations. And I look forward to working with you " Liam said, trying to feign ignorance of what had conspired between them seconds ago.
" Thank you sir. I hope we get along well and I promise to give this job my very best " she finished.

Standing up, Liam could see she was of normal height, she had curves in all the right places and perfect boobs and ass to go with. She was also a natural beauty. He wondered if he had ever seen any girl that looked so beautiful with little makeup on. She had a pair of beautiful eyes and plump lips. The top she wore exposed a bit of cleavage which excited him down there. She turned and made her way out of his office. His eyes immediately met with her perfect ass which shook with every step that she took.
He sighed. If I'm not careful, this woman will be the death of me, he thought to himself. His phone rang right that moment and he reached out for it on the table. He let out a groan when he saw the caller ID. It was Mom. He knew she was calling about the marriage of a thing but he picked it anyway, after deciding that ignoring Mom's call would do him no good as she could pop in any moment. He knew that wouldn't be nice at all.
" Hey Mom " Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
" Hi darling. How are you?" He could tell she was happy.
" I'm good " he answered, waiting for her to spill the beans. When she didn't say anything immediately, He asked
" To what do I owe this unexpected call?" He teased, smiling too.
" Can't I call my own son to say Hi again?" She whined, pouting, he guessed.
" You know I didn't mean it that way, Mom". He laughed.
" So what did you mean then?" She wait for him to reply before she went on, solemnly. " Liam, about what we discussed the other day........" Her voice trailed off and she left it hanging.
" I know, Mom and I'm working on it " He said, assuring her.
" Please Liam?" She said in a pleading tone.
" Mom, I just told you that I'm working on it. I really am " He assured her again, starting to get impatient.
" Okay son. Take care , huh? I love you " she said quickly as if knowing he would get angry any moment.
" Alright Mom. I love you too " he said and hung up. He sighed, feeling bad that he hadn't fulfilled the promise he made to her. " How will I get a girlfriend talk less of getting a wife? " He wondered out loudly. Even if he were to get a fake one, how will he go about it? Who will he ask to be his girlfriend? Most of the girls out there were just after his money and they would try to make things real even if they signed a contract. His mind went to Carla and he pushed the disturbing thought away quickly, not wanting to start thinking about the prospect of asking Carla out.
" Carla " he whispered, even though he knew no one could hear him, testing to feel how her name sounded on his lips.
