CEO's Contract Bride

A piece of my mind

Chapter 5

Amanda’s POV

Today I had chosen to dress in a pair of black skinny jeans which showed off my curves and black high heels and then finally, a cute white top, I had let my hair down and applied light make up, I wasn’t going for any serious meeting with William knight, today I was simply going to create a profile, I had to find out what he expected his future bride to have, certain qualities he wanted her to possess, once I was done with that then I will go about compiling a list of suitable women.

This was definitely going to be the most high class job I had ever taken on, I was definitely going to be meeting some very rich and famous people, this was going to be very good for my business and I was going to utilize this opportunity to the best of my ability, I was a person that made the best of opportunities when they presented themselves.

Jesse had left for school about hour ago, I brushed my hair once more till it shone, I had always loved my golden hair and how it shone, it was pretty low maintenance and I was very grateful for that because I didn’t really have the time to go to the hair salon regularly.

After picking up my tablet and stuffing into my bag, I headed out, it was time to face the monster once again, I wondered if by some miracle he had become nicer overnight but that was very unlikely.

It took me about 20 minutes to get to William Knight’s office, I was immediately shown to his office, I took the elevator and soon enough I was standing in a carpeted hallway, I walked out of the elevator and when I got to his secretary’s desk, I told the young woman I wanted to meet with Mr. Knight and I gave her my name, she quickly put a call through to him, she spoke into the telephone for a few seconds before she replaced the receiver and told me that I could go in, I smiled and thanked her before walking towards the glistening polished wooden doors, I gave the door a soft knock before opening the door and walking in.

He was seated behind his desk typing something into his computer, he looked completely different today without his jacket and tie and his shirt was folded at the sleeves, it was folded mid forearm revealing an interesting piece of flesh, he looked so handsome as he sat there working and once again, I was struck by how handsome he was with his clean cut jaw, chiseled nose and lips…… I quickly forced my eyes away from his lips, that was not why I was here, I was here on business and that was all, I told myself, there was no need feeling attraction to a man with the personality of an ass.

“Good day Mr. Knight” I said as I approached his table, my heels clicking on the gleaming tiled floors.

He finally looked away from his computer and looked at me and I was met with those devastating blue eyes once more, this guy was lethal, honestly I felt it should be illegal to look so handsome and not have the personality to follow it up.

His face held a cold expression and there was definitely no warmth in those eyes when they looked at me “Good day Miss Collins, a pleasure to see you again” he said and I couldn’t see any pleasure on his face nor in those eyes of his.

I decided to ignore him and just conclude the business that brought me here and leave as soon as possible, ii didn’t like been around this man, there was something unsettling about him.

I cleared my throat and said “I am here so that we can discuss some specifics, it won’t take much of your time”

His eyes were still regarding me coldly then he said “Have a seat Miss Collins”

I walked towards his desk and took a seat in one of the comfortable looking chairs in front of it, I took out my tablet from my bag and crossed my legs, I opened the notes section of the tablet where I had already created a folder for this project.

“Before I can start looking for the perfect woman for you, I will need to create a profile so that I can have an idea of the type of woman you would like to have as your bride, so can you tell me what you would like in a woman?” I asked.

He leaned forward and placed his elbows on the table, his fingers immediately folded under his jaw and his beautiful eyes were watching me with a cool look in them. He looked even more devastatingly handsome from this close and I wondered if it had gotten warmer in here due to the sun outside or because he was looking at me like that.

“Look in the mirror” he said.

My heart slammed against my chest with such force that a small gasp escaped my lips, what the hell did he mean by that? I thought.

“Excuse me?” I asked.

“I want you to look in the mirror and then find a woman who is the complete opposite of anything you are and then you have my choice of a perfect woman” he said.

I would have rolled my eyes at him but professional courtesy prevented me from doing just that instead I cleared my throat and said “I am afraid you are going to have to be a little bit more specific Mr. Knight”

His eyes remained on mine then he said “A woman who knows her place, a woman who knows how to show respect to others, a woman who does not act like a bloody know it all”

My anger was slowly bubbling to the surface again once more but I decided I will just get what I wanted from him and get the hell out his office before I murdered the arrogant bastard and buried the body under his shiny mahogany desk.

“I had no idea all those things could be seen in a mirror but do not worry, I have added them to the list, can you tell me about the physical attributes you would prefer?” I said with a forced sweet smile on my face.

“A beautiful woman without blonde hair, nobody likes a stupid blonde after all” he said as he gave me a pointed look.

That was it, I could stand anything but I could not stand been referred to as a stupid blonde.

I gently placed the tablet on the table in front of me, I had a smile on my face that was meant to tell an intelligent man that he was supposed to scared of it but I believed William Knight was far from intelligent because he was still looking at me like I was absolutely nothing.

“Now you just look here Mr. I understand that your mother dearest wants you to get married as soon as possible and my job is to make that happen at all costs, and you want to be a big jerk about the whole thing and make my life miserable, well I got news for you, I am going to see this through no matter what, you are stuck with me for the next six months so you better get used to it and I think I will drop the professional courtesy now since you also lack common courtesy as well, if you do not tune down your nasty attitude then I assure you I will be just as nasty to you, so you can behave like a gentleman about this and we get this done and over with very quickly or you keep this up and we make life hell for one another, what is your choice going to be Mr. Knight?” I said, the sweet smile never leaving my face as I looked into his eyes which had become two orbs of ice now and were glaring at me as though he wanted to freeze me to death with his eyes alone.
