Cedric, realizing that he'd only gotten better looking as he'd gotten older. The soft boyish face he once had was now a chiseled face of a man with a strong jaw and gorgeous blue eyes surrounded by dark lashes. He looked like a super model, rather than a MIT genius who was the geekiest of the geeky.
    "You fornicate with the staff?" Sadie asked him bluntly as she walked over and set her file on his desk and sat in the chair. When she was eye level with his belt she realized his belt was undone and he had smears of red lipstick on the bottom of his shirt.
    Blushing, she could imagine exactly what that woman had been doing in here that would smear her red lipstick against her face and his pants. She wondered if he was well endowed and tried to shake the inappropriate thoughts from her head. Chastising herself mentally for the inappropriate thoughts, she tried to look at his face and not his crotch.
    Job. Interview. She told herself. Focus, Sadie. If you want this job, pay attention to Cedric and what he's saying and not that he was probably getting a blow job just moments before.
    "Why do you want this job?" Cedric said, sitting down in his chair and looking at her, not bothering to correct his clothes.
    "I have medical bills I need to pay for my father. He's sick and his insurance won't cover all of it. I feel obligated to help since he paid for me to get through college so I'd have no debt. It's the least I could do." Sadie said. "And you need a competent assistant, while I won't pretend I'm not mildly offended by the obvious lack of protocol in a work place, I can look past that for the job."
    Cedric stared at her for a few minutes and then wrote something down on the pad in front of him. He slid it over to her for her to look at.
    "What is this?" She said, blinking. It was in triple digits.
    "The salary I will pay you to be available to me at all times and do the job I need you to do, which could be anything from picking up my laundry, to taking my date home." Cedric told her.
    "I thought you needed a business assistant?" Sadie said looking confused.
    "I do, but sometimes that includes personal business so I can get to meetings on time without worrying about a woman, or clean clothes." He looked at her without blinking. "I don't pretend to be something I'm not. The work environment here is something I created because it makes me happy. I have no desire to change it for an assistant who is replaceable."
    "But you need someone who is actually capable of doing a real job, or you wouldn't be trying to hire me when you have a dozen women out there who'd do almost anything for you." Sadie pointed out, getting a quick read on the situation.
    "You’re good." He said sitting back. "You grew up pretty Sadie."
    "Cedric..." Sadie said, not knowing what to say. "Do you want to give me the job or not? I don't want to waste both of our times. I can live with your... girls if you will meet me half way to communicate effectively with me and not yell at me, and promise not to call me four eyes."
    "Do you still wear glasses?" He asked her.
    "Contacts." Sadie said automatically and then blushed. "I want to get laser surgery in a few years, but I can't afford it right now."
    "Our health insurance plan should cover it once you've worked here for six months. The job is yours if you want it, but I expect you to be able to handle whatever I throw at you. You can start right now."
    "Fine," Sadie said. "What do you want me to do first?"
    "Re-file everything in the file cabinet by alphabetical order and date. After that, I want to start digitalizing files and making everything in an online cloud drive. So I can access files anywhere on my tablet or phone. Having to come to the office just to check a piece of data makes my life harder. We’re supposed to be a technology based company and we still use a paper filing system. I need to change that." Cedric got up and walked around to shake her hand.
    Sadie took his hand and realized how much larger his
