Free Romance: Bad Boss: Billionaire Romance Boxed Set by Stephanie Lex Page A
Authors: Stephanie Lex
all the mess he created with the hiring and firing secretaries was making him feel uncomfortable and that he had decided to keep me in the position, for a long, but determined period.
I was about to stay there and work for him until he would personally communicate my father my gained skills and responsibility. Of course, I jumped off the chair and almost hit the ceiling. I wasn’t about to allow that.
I had plans and things to do and working for him, despite his good looks, wasn’t an option. Anyway, the chance of a possible “me and him” situation was out of any discussion because like I had always believed, I was sure that he wasn’t about to change his attitude or to settle down with a woman, ever. And my intentions of being maybe the 215 th woman in his life were minimal.
He was trying to calm me down. Maybe because he was really surprised of my reaction, not seeing it happen as he used to know me as a little and innocent girl. Well, that little girl was a grown up woman and she wasn’t about to accept the situation! But he was so good with women!
Without even notice, when he came near me, really close, grabbed my shoulder and gave me the dog-eyes look, asking me to stay, I instantly softened.
The part of me that was liking him from the first moment was pushing me to accept. But the rebel and wild part of me was forcing me to make a stand to his desires.
He admitted that he needed me there, and for the first time in one week, he even told me that I was the best he had, and that he felt that I was smart and eager to learn.
In fact, I wasn’t. I just wanted my father to let me be, but those were his ways to intimidate a girl.
Maybe it used to work with the bunch of crazy chicks that were coming to the office everyday under different excuses just to see him, hoping that someday they would pass from the sex-friend status to the wife one.
I gathered all my senses and refused what for him seemed to be the best offer. No, I wasn’t willing to please this man, under no circumstance.
When he saw that his technique wasn’t working, he dared me! He dared me to sign a one-year contract, as he didn’t believe that I was capable of risking that much. He dared me to work with him and for him for 12 months, telling me that I was too weak to accept that.
I asked what I would receive in return, and he told me that I would get a raise, a desk in his office, the best comments for my father and a date with him. Of course the last one of the “gifts” was making me laugh out loud!
Who needed a date with him? For what purpose? Just to fall in love with him, get a quick sex and cry over him for a year after? No thanks!
My laugh made him smile in the corner of his mouth, watching me with certain warmth. He complimented me, by telling me that I had the best and the most colorful laugh he ever heard. Well, I was approximating that he heard about 200, so that was something!
All the other deals though…were music to my ears. And the fact that he used reverse psychology just to get my attention on the matter…that was clever!
And it assumed a high effort for his part as he was definitely trying to make me sign the contract and stay. The rebel part of me was getting the adrenaline that all my life was after. It was a challenge, and a big one, but I was about to get out of it triumphant.
Without giving him any answer, I asked where to sign, keeping a permanent eye contact with him, trying to intimidate the most of the inimitable men that I ever seen.
He pointed some papers on his desk, I quickly grabbed a pen, and signed the contract.
He wasn`t expecting it. He wasn’t expecting a girl to have so much nerves to accept one of his challenges and he smiled, looking down and nodding his head like he wanted to say “you naughty girl”.
