2 Making a fool of myself

I should have known that something like this was going to happen. But no, I went ahead and did something stupid.

"Hello," I muttered, while trying to stand up. I didn't want to look up. I couldn't.

But he stretched out his hand and I had to take it or risk ripping my clothes.

"Are you OK?" he asked and I looked up.

And I was almost blinded by his beauty and masculinity. How could someone be so perfect? His green eyes looked at me with both concern and anger.

I shivered. Not from cold but from the way he was staring at me. And how I felt like my panties were going to melt off. Great job! Getting horny on your first day.

It was his hands, I decided. They looked so capable and beautiful.

And then his eyes... Come to think of it, those rare eyes reminded me of someone I once knew. Someone I want to forget and remember at the same time.

"... You got me at the wrong time. My schedule is all over the place and my assistant is no where to be found. I might end up firing her before she starts."

Say what!!!

"Don't!" I exclaimed, arranging my clothes and my hair. "You'll love her."

"And you know that because..."

"Hello," I said, stretching my hand. "I am Nicole James, Your new assistant."
