Chapter 4
Phoebe POV
"Umm…that sounds nice," I nod calculatingly, Still considering the proposal, For the first time in my life I'll be working in a corporate firm, something I always wanted but never had because they say these days you have to have someone on the inside of a firm to secure a good job.
And I'm given the opportunity on a platter of Gold, I don't think that's the right word to say yet because the discussion isn't finalized.
"Aside from working as your secretary, what else would I be doing for you?" I can't help but ask, there is a contract involved. I need to know what I'm getting into.
"Nice question, there's nothing you'll be doing other than working for me ... but you won't be leaving the company anytime soon," he says looking into my eyes as though he was searching for something.
Maybe wanting a get a glimpse of my reaction and know if I'll be willing to work or not, why won't a desperate person like me take such an offer I've tried to get a job with a higher pay for some time now and it wasn't easy to get one I can't throw away this opportunity, from the way it sounds it's gonna be a good deal and come to think of it I don't even want it to end.
"I'm in, I will work," I say, my heart fluttering at his offer.
"Alright, then we have a deal," he says as he smiles, extending his hands for a shake and I accept it, taking his hands in mine to shake him.
"You'll be resuming on Monday," he says, his facade professional but friendly like he was giving me a simple job.
When I knew it wasn't, a lot of people might have applied for this job but no one got it. I can't believe I just got a job. It still feels unreal till I sit behind an official desk then it will be confirmed, for now, it's mere conversation.
I get up from the bed and head towards the toilet to freshen up a bit before I leave for home and when I come out I don't miss the feminine clothes properly prepped on the bed.
I was about to ask when he suddenly spoke up, "I brought you a better one, yours is still messed up from last night, " I nodded in agreement to his statement.
Money indeed answered all things because was it up to fifteen minutes I used the bathroom?
I picked up the clothes to dress but then I couldn't dress in front of him even if he had seen me naked before, I still felt shy.
"I need privacy," I said, clutching the dress to my chest. "Sure," he said, getting up in front of the bed as he strolled to the living room.
I quickly put on the clothes. I couldn't help but feel special in the dress because it fitted me properly like it was hand-picked by someone who knew my size.
I walked up to the mirror to have a look at my reflection. The gown was revealing the outlines of my curve and the size of my big ass.
I had a perfect shape with an unbeatable face card but it was all useless because all the men I came across treated me the same way an ugly duckling would be treated, no one took me seriously, so what's the point bragging about your features when it doesn't make any difference and besides love is the last thing I want in my life all I want is money.
Money to care for both my siblings, treat myself and stay healthy, live long and happily, and be able to fund the lifestyle I want without having to think of anyone who will break my heart in the end.
After checking myself in the mirror, I styled my hair into a sleek ponytail, with no makeup or lipgloss to compliment the dress, but any day anytime I was hot as fuck.
I put my clothes in the bags that brought the new one and headed for the living room.
"you're all set…" Ethan was taking his gaze from his phone to me as he noticed I was done but he trailed off when he saw me in the dress he brought me.
I guess he wasn't prepared for what he saw because his jaw took time apart before it realized they were apart.
"You look exquisite," he uttered, still amazed by how I looked.
"Thank you," I said smiling from ear to ear, not like it's the first time men are admiring me but I feel so classy the way he's complimenting me.
"Let me get dressed so I can drop you off," Ethan said, heading for the room when my voice stopped him.
"I don't think you should worry about it, I could go home on my own I promise" I knew I was lying, my house was quite a distance from here.
And I need a ride home but not his, I don't want him to know where I live so he does not find out I have younger ones.
"Really?" He said looking me straight in the eye, guess he's trying to find the reason why I don't want him to take me home after we spent the night together.
"Yeah," I said.
"It's okay if you don't want me to take you home. I could order a cab for you," he suggested.
Well that's a better offer if you ask me, no strings attached to my new boss, well they are strings but I don't see them.
I chuckled nervously, "That will be much better". He had already seen my vulnerability enough, I don't want anyone's pity, I'm just interested in making more money.
He immediately taps his phone and in a few seconds he looks up at me, "I've ordered an Uber for you downstairs." he informs me.
"Okay thanks," I say absentmindedly heading for the door when he calls me back.
