him.
                  A sexy chuckle rumbles from his chest.  Tossing my folder on the desk, “touche Ms. Winters.  May I call you Faith?”  His strong muscular hands rest on top of his desk.
                  “Sure.” I shrug noncommittally.  I can’t tear my eyes away from his hands.  On the outside I look confident and calm.  On the inside my common sense has melted into a needy sex kitten, ready to let him do anything to my body he wants.  What’s with this guy?
                  His smile melts, I miss its warmth immediately.  My stomach drops as his eyebrows dip into a frown.  “I’m just a little confused.  What’s a summa cume laude, with a MBA from Harvard, doing working as an assistant?”
                  “I’ve only been with the company for eight months.”  I try to hide my fear, I don’t need him getting suspicious of my cover.
                  “You should have been brought in as management.”  He leans back in his chair, steepling his fingers under his chin.
                  “A management position was not available when I applied.”  I’m hoping this is leading where I think it is.
                  “I’ve checked your work.  It’s exemplary.  You should have been promoted months ago.”
                  I shrug my shoulders.  Then why don’t you promote me now.
                  I watch as he leans forward, reaching for the bottom right hand drawer of the desk.  Sliding it open, his eyes intently search for something.
                  As he searches through the draw, this allows me a chance to really look at the man in front of me.  No picture I’ve seen does him justice.  My eyes roam his strong angular jaw, full lips and copper hair.  It’s not just his looks that make him so damn appealing.  The man oozes sex.  Not your ordinary missionary style sex.  No, he oozed the hot and sweaty, cloths ripping, nail scratching, fucking up against a wall kind of sex.  My body immediately burns white hot, wanting something that I haven’t wanted in years.  Stop. It. Now!
                  I’m snapped out of my sex induced haze when he pulls a blue folder out of the drawer, tapping it against the desk.  “I’d like to give you an assignment.  See what you got.”  His eyes flash with an erotic double meaning.
                  “All right.  Let’s see what you’ve got.”  I throw his innuendo right back at him.
                  His face lights up, making my heart rate flutter.  “You’ve heard about my luxury hotel and bar in Vancouver?”  His eyes watch me like a hawk, trying to read my reaction.
                  “Yes I have.”  I know about all your real estate ventures.
                  “What you don’t know, is that for the first nine months I lost money on the property.  Hell if I’m honest the whole venture was a cluster fuck from the time I broke ground.”  Suddenly his eyes react to the language he just used.  “Excuse the language.”
                  “Not an issue, I’ve said worse.”  I throw him a sexy grin.
                  He chuckles, “I bet you have.”  His eyes thin on my lips, studying them intently.  “This is one of the files on my Vancouver property.  I’ll tell Jan to give you access to the server.”
                  Jan must be Ms. Botox who summoned me here.   “Okay.”  I nod, my eyes flickering between his and the folder.  Hopefully, that will include access to any files on his China property too.
                  “What I want is simple really.  I want you to tell me what went wrong.”
                  “Wrong?”  I cock my head in confusion.
                  “Yes, Wrong.  I want a report detailing what you think went wrong in Vancouver and what I can do in the
