My Twin Obsession

Chapter 9

As soon as we stepped inside, the receptionist stood up and ran to us in her 3-inch heels. I had to suppress a smile when I heard her breathy welcome, though I did feel a bit weird when I saw how Adrian responded. I mean, I knew he was a womanizer and he flirted with everyone, but I can't say I didn't flinch when he wrapped an arm around her waist and whispered something in her ear.

"Real professional," I murmured and rolled my eyes. Not that I really expected any professionalism from either of the twins anymore. They said and did anything they wanted and didn't expect anyone to object. And everyone, except for me, was fine with their behavior, even happy to have had a bit of their time. I, on the other hand, believed they were the biggest assholes I had ever met and I feared that I would succumb to their charm one day and then hate myself for the rest of my life.

So why was I still working for them?

Think of the money, Izzy. You'd have to take two jobs plus work overtime to get something similar to the salary you can get here. So just suck it up and do whatever is necessary to keep it.

I mean, I simply needed to show them that their moves on me weren't appreciated and they would move on to their next target, right? They were flirting and even f*****g other women, so I wasn't anything special for God's sake! My refusal should make them back off, right? Or maybe that would make them chase me more since Adrian said that they liked playing games?

Should I just sleep with them to get them off my case?

Oh my God, just listen to yourself! When Geoffrey had proposed you do him a blowjob for a raise, you had slapped him and quit. Now you were contemplating sleeping with the twins only to get it over with? What is wrong with you?

I shook my head slightly and focused on what was happening. I found Adrian looking at me with a weird smirk, so I guess I had missed something. The girl had left and gone back to her table, talking to someone on the phone, but was still eye-f*****g my new boss, who was now holding back laughter.

"I'm sorry, what?" I asked, confused.

"Nothing. So, what do you think of this company? Should we be interested in buying it?" he c****d his head, that damn smirk still on his stupidly handsome face.

To be honest, I had no idea where we were. I hadn't seen anything that would help me understand what kind of a company this was. The lobby was made all in white with minimalistic decorations and no posters of their own merchandise.

And anyway didn't Adrian say that we were going to one of their newest companies, not a potential addition?

"Well, we just got here. Shouldn't we at least go to the meeting and listen to them before we make the decision?" I asked, a bit dumbfounded. I wasn't sure why he asked me something like this before I had even seen the products or their statistics for that matter, but before I could ask Adrian anything regarding this place, the door in front of us opened and a man - his name was James, I think - greeted us and lead us to the conference room, already filled with people waiting for us.

After a brief introduction, the presentation started. And that is when it finally clicked together - Adrian's weird smirks and comments, even his question whether I wanted to see more of this company. It tuned out "Lucky" was a s*x toy company.

The presentation was filled with photos of their merchandise and the process of how they made them, and a woman showed us the products the presenters were talking about. Name a toy and they probably were making it. And what was worse, I was stuck listening to the presentation with my boss who already was messing with my head nonstop.

It suddenly became very hot in the room, and I was fighting the desire to run. I could hear Adrian's low chuckle beside me, probably finding my discomfort amusing. I didn't care though. I knew I needed to get out of here as fast as I could. Adrien looked too comfortable with the products, touching and assessing each one they showed him, and I automatically started thinking about him using those s*x toys.

Fortunately, all their focus was on Adrian, and no one batted an eye when I excused myself and went to the restroom to get a grip.

You just have to get through the meeting. Adrian did this on purpose because he loves watching you squirm. So put on your poker face and don't let that prick win this round.

I took a few deep breaths and went back to the conference room. The presentation, unfortunately, was still going on, only now they were talking about s*x swings.

"Jesus Crist," I murmured. And I had thought it couldn't get worse. I actually had contemplated trying one out with my boyfriend of that time, and that made this situation even worse. Sitting next to the boss and listening about something like this... Don't think many assistants could say that this was a part of their job.

When I sit down, Adrien put a hand on my knee and it took all of my willpower not to react. I wanted his hand to be gone and move further up at the same time, but I had to fight the urges. From now on, I would show no emotions when it came to either of Mr. Woodhouses.

"This is not the only thing they sell, by the way," Adrien said and leaned in closer. His mouth was right at my ear when he spoke. "They also provide the best women to pleasure you. Off the books, of course," he blew on my neck, making me shiver a little. I hoped he didn't see that. Because even if I was disgusted by what he was saying, my poker face stayed on, unwavering.

"Come to think of it... The woman you saw in our office that day? One of theirs as a gift to us," he continued, not bothered by my silence.

I wasn't sure if that made it better or worse, only that I didn't want to be connected to this company in any way and I hoped to God that we didn't purchase it. I had no idea how I would work with them and there was no way the twins would let me evade it.

"Excuse me, Mr. Woodhouse, I'm trying to listen to the presentation. We need all the facts before you and your brother make the decision." I looked at him and he, of course, was smirking again. But he did lean back and turned away from me.

So I too looked right ahead at the presenters and shut off the rest of the world.
