Chapter: Chapter Three003“Damn it.” The words left my mouth before I could think.Alexander raised a brow, “Mind your words, Miss. Let's not forget where you stand.”Where I stand?I wanted to wipe that dirty smirk off his face but I swallowed the urge and simply worked forward.In fact the reason I had even arrived in this company was starting to blur in my mind.Oh yes! Keep it together Chloe.You are here for a job.A job as a personal assistant.It's not hard and you also have experience doing quite a lot of this.I watched Alexander sit up straight, his eyes directly on me.“We can do this the hard way or the easy way, Chloe.” He said, rising up from his seat.“And I, for once, haven't been able to get my mind away from last night.” He made a curve around his desk.My heartbeats increased but I took a deep breath.There was nothing to panic about.Alexander was my childhood friend.Someone I had just slept with—A tiny voice whispered in my head.“Wouldn't we continue the interview for the job post?”
