Giselle was a bundle of nerves.She was seated inside a cramped waiting area, watching as one hopeful after the other left , each one more dejected than the other. She was so lost in thought, she almost missed her name being called.
" Giselle Lee!"
" Gosh, I'm so sorry, that's me."
Her warm smile complete with cute dimples seemed to melt the woman's icy exoskeleton.
" Follow me, please. "
Giselle walked confidently, her heart racing faster with every step. The woman was at least 6feet tall and Giselle felt dwarfed by her effortless sophistication.
Her confidence took another blow as she noted the woman's 400 dollar Jimmy Choo's and her flawless makeup.
Janine had offered to do her makeup but something had held her back. She wanted Liam Alexander to be wowed by her brain not by any other trappings.
" My name's Katya, by the way and just be yourself and you'll be fine."
She further surprised Giselle by winking before opening the door to Liam Alexander's ultra chic, ultra modern office. He didn't look up but waved her over to the plush leather chair on the other side of his desk.
Without thinking, Giselle went to stand by the glass window overlooking the skyline. The view was breathtaking and she sighed as she looked down at all the people below.
Liam hung up his phone and froze as a bolt of molten lava slammed into his chest.
" Mate," the wolf whined inside his head.
She stood with her back to him and he was transported to last night's dream.
He stood there just watching her and enjoying her tantalizing Jasmine scent. She turned to him, finally, her heart rate speeding up as she watched him watch her.
" The job is yours"
Giselle grinned and he could scarcely remember his aversion to having a human mate.
" Don't you want to see my resume, Mr.
."
" Liam, please and you are?"
" Giselle Lee."
He reached across the desk to shake her proffered hand and smiled as energy zipped between them.
" Nice to meet you, Mr..um..Liam."
His name on her lips had him sitting quickly lest she see the evidence of his arousal.
" The pleasure is mine, Giselle. "
An image of the big, bad wolf danced in her head and she smiled once more.
" What was that thought just now?"
She blushed prettily, rewarding him with the sight of those adorable dimples once more.
" Its nothing, sir...just an image that popped into my head."
" Tell me."
Giselle could feel her thighs clenching as she felt moisture coat her panties and her face reddened again.
What's wrong with me?
Liam sniffed and grinned as Jasmine merged with the subtle yet intoxicating scent of her arousal.
" Well you kinda reminded me of the big bad wolf just now."
His laugh had her smiling again and Giselle couldn't believe her luck.
" Katya has briefed me on your impressive qualifications, Giselle so if you want the position, it's yours."
" Thank you, sir...um Liam, you won't regret it, I promise."
No, he thought, he would never regret this day.
He sat in his office just watching his Luna delight in his paintings as she continued to tell.him about herself.
His phone buzzed and he was loathe to answer until Katya's impatient voice came on the line.
" Mr. Alexander your twelve o'clock is here."
Liam scowled and Giselle jumped to her feet.
" How soon can you start?"
" Tomorrow?"
" Beautiful! I will see you then, Giselle."
She smiled and waved before skipping to the elevator. He watched ,amused as she realized he'd seen her skipping and blushed prettily.
She picked up the pace, almost running to the elevator.
He was Adonis personified and yet she sensed no arrogance in him. She was going to love working at L space, she thought grinning.
She was dialing as she waited for the elevator.
" Hey bestie, I got the job!"
" Congratulations hun, we going out to dinner to celebrate, my treat."
" Definitely. "
Today was a great day, she thought dazedly.
