rack, it not only contained the clothing but matching shoes and
bags.
    “This really is too much, Mr
Clark.” I was starting to go red with embarrassment.
    “Alexis, it’s non-negotiable.”
He got up and stood on the other side of the rack.
    “Now, Lucy will begin your
training straight away and I will need your salary figure by the end of the
day, or I will decide for you. I have spoken to Ms Maroney and she has found
another C.A. to fill your place and Alexis when you speak to me please call me Bryce.”
He held out his hand, I grabbed it and went to shake it, but he turned my hand
and put it to his mouth. He gently kissed the top of my hand.
    “Thank you.” He said and in
that moment I realised this man had feelings for me.

 
    CHAPTER
FIVE
     
    My hand was still tingling, I
looked at myself in the bathroom mirror.
You
are imaging this Alexis? No, no you're not. You're 35 and have a pretty good
idea when someone is coming on to you.
  I
fixed my hair and patted my cheeks with some water.  
Maybe he is just a very
flirtatious guy?
  I kept
trying to justify his actions but the more I thought about it the surer I
became. Agreeing to be his P.A. was inevitable; I'm well and truly drawn to
this man, I will need to tread carefully especially if he is so brazen with his
flirting and especially because I am enjoying it immensely. I stepped back from
the mirror and pressed my dress down. Taking a deep breath I gave myself a
quick pep talk.  
Get a grip
Alexis, you can handle this, it's just harmless chemistry
. I exited the
bathroom and headed back to Lucinda.
    "So, where to start? Ok, I'm
not going to bore you with instructions on how to meet and greet, answer phones
or take messages etc, you already know how to do all this. I think what is most
important is to educate you on who is my brother, Bryce Edward Clark, and we
can do that by invading his privacy, follow me." She gave me a highly
wicked grin, forwarded all calls to her mobile and headed through the
Conference Room Door. The door to Bryce's Private Residence opened when she
swiped her card through the security scanner. The décor was very different in
his private quarters to what he had in his office. Instead of the cream,
mahogany and gold colour scheme, the palette in here was very masculine. Greys,
whites, blacks and deep blues, what really drew my eyesight though, were the
windows. The quantity of glass was incredible, it was very open plan which made
the view, the star attraction and rightly so. As you walk in you automatically
step down into a lowered living area with white leather sofas and stunning black
and deep blue silk drapes, with silver sheers.
    "Wow, this is just gorgeous,
he has great taste."
    "Yes he does, he knows what
he likes."
    "Oh, of course, he has a
Piano." I scoffed at the black grand piano near the opening to the balcony.
    "Can he play?"
    "Yes we both can, but he
prefers the guitar."
Of
course he does, sexy rock god!
    I walked past the sofas and to the
balcony Bi-fold glass doors. I sneaked a peek outside, it was enormous, fully
equipped with a pool, spa, outdoor gym and it continued right around the
building. Turning back to face the entrance I look up, the ceiling was
approximately three levels high with a glorious glass spiralling chandelier.
There was a staircase on the wall near the entrance which took you to the second
floor. I'm assuming that is where his bedroom is, butterflies started churning
in my stomach just from thinking about his bedroom and more importantly his
bed.
Get your head out of the
gutter, Alexis!
    "Just round here to the left
is the kitchen, Bryce loves his food and cooks when he gets a chance."
    "He cooks, are you serious?
All the money in the world and the man cooks."  
He has just escalated from sexy,
rock god, billionaire, boss man to
 
perfect
,
sexy, rock god, billionaire,
boss man.
  The kitchen was to
die for, black marble bench tops that spanned the length of my entire house, well
maybe not
