start?”
I smiled. I had actually landed this job. This had been the strangest job interview I had ever had. I had been in his office all of ten minutes and he already offered me a job. This job probably paid more than I could ever imagine having as a salary. Wait, I hadn't even asked what the salary was .
“Thank you for the offer Mr. Drake. Can I ask, what the salary for this position is?”
“I told you, Kate, please call me Turner. The salary is a probably less than you were expecting, but we are offering a $150,000 salary plus an annual bonus.”
My eyes grew big. $150,000 a year? Not what I was expecting? Hell, I would've been happy with $50,000 a year.
“$150,000 is certainly a generous salary, Turner. I can start on Wednesday.”
“Great!” he extended his arm across the desk to shake my hand. “Welcome to Drake Dynamics. I will let Human Resources know so you can go down and complete all of the necessary paper work. Would you have time to do that while you are here today?”
“Yes sir, I can go down to fill out the papers now.”
He held onto my hand just a tad bit longer than felt natural. At that moment, I glanced down at our connected hands and that's when I noticed it. I'd seen those same hands before. Those hands had been all over me days ago. They were Bellamy's hands. My pulse quickened and my stomach turned.
I looked back up at Turner. I quickly pulled my hand away and rubbed my sweaty palm on my skirt. The door opened, but I didn't have time to look behind me before Turner spoke.
“Hey Bellamy, this is our new CFO...” Turner looked back to me, “And this is the CEO of Drake Dynamics,” Turner extended his hand towards Bellamy. “Bellamy Drake, meet Kate Conrad.”
Chapter Six
My heart raced so fast I thought it might jump right out of my chest. I stood and turned around to face Bellamy. I smiled and so did he. My cheeks were blushed and hot. I tried to calm myself down. I didn't want Turner to notice how Bellamy effected me or question why I was reacting this way.
“Lovely to meet you, Kate .”
He said my name with such audacity that he made my knees buckle. He extended his hand to shake mine, but he played coy like he didn't know me.
“And you as well, Mr. Drake.”
I tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear and let my eyes wander around the room avoiding making complete eye contact with Bellamy. There was a long awkward silence where no one spoke.
I thought that Turner may start to wonder what was going on so I said charmingly, “Okay well it's been great to meet you. I must be going now. I need to fill out the new hire paperwork down in HR. See you Wednesday.”
Turner smiled and nodded to me. I turned and walked past Bellamy towards the door as quickly as I could. At the door, my hand reached for the knob, and when I went to turn the handle, Bellamy turned on his heel. He placed his fingers at his chin and said to me, “Welcome to Drake Dynamics, Kate. I look forward to working closely with you.”
I glanced over my shoulder at him and smiled briefly before opening the door and leaving.
Bellamy
“What the fuck was that, man?” Turner said as soon as Kate left his office. I shrugged.
“Please Bellamy, you basically eye fucked her right here in my office. In front of me! You can't be doing that. She is going to be working here and
