Entrapment

Chapter 3-Temp

Isabella

To say I was scared is more than just that. I was frighten. Here was a man who makes me feel inferior like saying one wrong word he would have me black listed.

Sure I was excited at first but once I had stepped foot into his office, his aura around him had hit me like a ton of bricks.

It was eerily frightening how with just one look can make you tremble under his scrutinizing gaze.

Not once he ever smiled at me even though I had smiled at him. He just sat there watching me like a hawk, observing me in my chair. Every once in a while I would pull down my shirt that seemed to ride up my side.

"Your attire is atrocious and your hair is hideous." He rested his chin in his palm while the other hand drums his fingers on his desk just gawking at me and the first thing he does is insults me.

Looking at myself, I admit my clothes are all wrinkled, "I'm sorry." I quickly apologized. "It's just that I was too excited that I quickly rushed here and forgot to straighten my appearance."

"Excited you say, excited to see me." He cockily smirked.

"Excuse me but what?" Regret, that is what I am feeling right now. Maybe it was a mistake to come here. Sometimes it is not always greener on the other side of the forest.

"Moving on, if you get this job I expect you to be professional and that includes on the way you dress and speak. Always follow my orders and never ever fling yourself at me, I do not f**k my employees."

Utterly dumbfounded. What kind of secretary would that make me? I would never even consider...my eyes roamed his physic well maybe the thought has crossed my mind. Hell when I first laid my eyes on him it was like every part of my body screamed wow, sure I have seen him in magazines all shaven making him look like a boy but seeing him in person he is much better looking with his small scruff giving him that more rugged manly look that is until I laid my eyes on his eyes which showed an arrogant jerk that sits before me.

Maybe I should recant my position here.

"Duly noted." I smugly replied. I'll just go along with what ever he is saying. Right now I could used this job. What I need is money and lots of it and fast and if this job will help me get it faster then why not.

Watching him tapping his fingers on his desk like he needed to be doing something right now.

It was like a staring contest to see who would turn away first. Apparently I lost because his intense stare was like burning a whole in my face.

When I had walked into his office not to long ago, his office was of course in shambles. He did really needed to have his office clean.

"Ms. Stone." My legs were now quivering in my seat. Though his voice sounded like it could crush me, it was deep and alluring. "You were recommended on your skills now I have a few questions and I am hoping you will do well."

Do well? And I will pass with flying colors hopefully.

Placing a set of keys, probably a brand new lap top that was still in it's box and a brand new cell phone on his desk, and he did it all with much delicacy.

"Do you have a licensed?"

"A licensed?" I repeated.

"Yes a driver's licensed?"

"Well um..if you are asking if I drive then sure..."

"Good." He cut me off. "How are you in computers?"

"Well, I had to create a spread sheet for school so I, um not..."

"That's fine." What kind of questions are these? And could he at least let me finish at least one of my answers. Rude much.

"I need a secretary to answer my calls at all time and to be needed when I'm at work."

Finally a question I can actually answer and hopefully negotiate my work schedule , "Actually Mr. Saunders my schedule is tight and I have other agendas to do as well." I answer hotly only for Mr. Saunders to glare at me coldly.

I guess he didn't like my answer. Shrinking back into the chair, I watch his jaws clench.

"Ms. Stone, you do know I do I require for my secretary to follow my exact orders so when I say be here in my office at one in the morning I expect you to be here at said time understood."

Nodding my head up and down, it was like he was already ordering me around and I am not even his secretary yet. Why the hell did I just agree so easily. He is not seriously thinking of having me here at one in the morning is he?

"Now, what college did you graduate from?"

College, ah f**k. "Well, I...uh..." I stuttered. Well there goes my way through the open doors only for it to shut in my face. If I tell him that I am still in college would that loose my chances of working for him.

"Answer my question."

"Actually Kingston..."

"Kingston University." He cut me off, "And I assume you graduated with honors."

He took my silently answer as a yes while I wanted to cry for help. Well it's not my fault he didn't let me finish my sentence.

"When did you graduated and by the looks of it, you look young, don't tell me you just graduated from school now did you?"

"Well Mr. Saunders about that..."

Gazing at him he looked furious, his fist were clenching, his jaw were tightening and his eyes looked like he could kill me with just one look, "What the f**k!" He yelled before angrily picking up his phone.

At that moment I wanted to cry, I wanted to yelp, this man before me is scary when he is angry. Why hadn't I heard about this? He is not like my other boss.

"I told you to get me one who is well experience not some child still in diapers." He yelled to whoever was on the line.

Okay, that hurt. Out of everything I gave all my unanswered answers, that's what he picks up on? I wonder if I could just sneak out. Maybe crawl out with what's left of my dignity and self respect.

With his back towards me, slowly I rose from my chair, only a few more feet then I am out the door that is until a woman had entered, "Mr. Saunders."

Hanging up the phone in a rage, "What!" His voice caused us both me and the woman to shutter in fear. Glad to know I'm not the only one who is scared of him.

"Your three o clock appointment is here."

"f**k!" I continued my way out, "And were the hell are you going?" Turning back around slowly I gulped, "Well back to my old boss."

Planting his hands firmly on his desk, "Old boss?" He gritted his teeth, "The only boss you will have is me, now," He straighten his suit and tie, "Before I come back I want my office clean and Macy, show Ms. Stone how things work around here."

"Of course sir."

"Um...Mr. Saunders but I thought..."

"You thought what Ms. Stone." He angrily spoke while placing his hands in his pockets.

"Well seeing I don't meet your expectations...."

"You are just temporary until I find one that have a more suitable qualifications. In the mean time we will work around your schedule and you have to be a quick learner too when I teach you how I like things done around here, now if you'll excuse me." At that moment I wanted to scream for joy. Sure I may be only his temporary secretary but I will do my very best that he wouldn't be able to find a replacement.

Watching his retreating back I felt a tap on my shoulder, "Relax, he is not that bad. Hi, I'm Macy." The woman held out her hand.

"Isabella Stone." I smiled. At least she seems nice. Looking around his office I began to pick up the papers and pens, "What happened here?"

Macy just shook her head, "The usual."

"The usual."

"Yes, women, meetings and sex." She responded nonchalantly.

Sex in the office, I thought that only happens in movies.

"No, you will be hearing that a lot in here."

"Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes, yes you did." She smiled.

"So what do I have to do?"

If I'm just going to be his temp. might as well do a good job at it. I can't shirk of my responsibility no matter how much of a prick your boss is.

"The usual but for now just organized his office and if you need anything else I'm at the front desk."
