GianMarco by Eve Vaughn Read Free Book Online

the bewilderment out of her voice if she tried. This couldn’t be
     for real.
    “How long have you been here?” he demanded.
    “Uh, this is my second day.”
    “And let me guess, you haven’t worked in this capacity before, have you?”
    How he would possibly know that didn’t matter as much as his offensive tone. She balled
     her hands into fists and desperately tried to remain calm. “Sir, I’m not sure what
     my experience has to do with anything. Please allow me to help you or I can buzz Mr.
     Townsend if you’d prefer to speak to him directly.”
    Tall, Blond and Arrogant, sneered. “You really are a special kind of idiot, aren’t
     you?”
    As much as she depended on this job there was only so much she could take. “Sir, that’s
     enough. I don’t get paid to be insulted, so please state your business or leave.”
    He raised a dark brow. “This is my goddamn agency so if anyone is leaving it’ll be
     you.” His amber eyes darkened.
    Maggie gasped. “Mr. Grimaldi?”
    “Well, at least you figured that part out. I guess you’re not as stupid as I thought
     but that’s not saying much.”
    She should have known things were too well for there not to be a catch. Because Oliver
     had been kind, it hadn’t crossed her mind his partner would be a raging asshole.
    GianMarco glared at Maggie as if he had just read her thoughts although that couldn’t
     be possible.
    “Listen here, Ms. Williams—” Mr. Grimaldi was cut off when Oliver entered the room.
    Oliver smiled at his partner. “Hey, Marc, I see you’ve met Maggie. She’s a real gem,
     isn’t she?”
    “You told me you planned on hiring someone unappealing but I didn’t think you’d go
     through with it. If you had to hire someone like her, the very least you could have
     done was hire someone with half a brain.” Though Mr. Grimaldi spoke to Oliver, he
     gaze never wavered from her face.
    It was one thing to be verbally attacked by someone who clearly didn’t have a courteous
     bone in his body but it was quite another to learn she was only hired because Oliver
     found her “unappealing”. Why he’d done it didn’t matter, but there was absolutely
     no way she could work here with that knowledge. She had had enough, Maggie had her
     pride and it dictated to her to quit even if it meant living off peanut butter and
     jelly sandwiches for the rest of her life. Her life was enough of a mess without having
     to deal with one boss who was hostile and the other who was passive-aggressive. But
     before she went, she needed to get something off her chest.
    “Look, you jackass, I might need this job, but I don’t need it enough to put up with
     your abuse. You may have gotten away with being a creep because you’re attractive,
     but on the inside you’re ugly and a horrible human being. And the only thing keeping
     me from slapping the taste out of your mouth is my fear of going to jail.” She then
     turned to Oliver. His face was brick red. The fact that he couldn’t look her in the
     eye told her what Mr. Grimaldi had said was true.
    “I may be unappealing Mr. Townsend , but I would have made a damn fine administrative assistant, and this is your loss.
     You may pretend to be nice but you’re just as bad as this one.” She jerked her thumb
     in Mr. Grimaldi’s direction refusing to look at him again. “You two can go fuck yourselves.
     I quit.” She gathered her personal items as quickly as she could through a blur of
     tears. Once Maggie was sure she had everything, she hurried out of the office before
     either man could see her cry. They didn’t deserve that victory.

    After the door slammed, Oliver turned to GianMarco, his expression thunderous. “What
     the fuck, man? Did you really have to tell her that shit? Maggie is a nice lady. Granted,
     she’s not very experienced, but she was so enthusiastic I decided to take a chance
     on her. I got the feeling she really needed this job.”
    GianMarco was pissed and
