CHAPTER 3

The next day, which was a Friday, was very busy with models coming in and taking turns auditioning. It was up to Elena to coordinate everything and make sure they keep time and all the models are screened on that very day.

Noah had made it clear that he would not be adding any extra day regardless of whether or not they finished their job on time.

She took a seat at a spot where she could get a good look at everything taking place. On her lap was stack of papers, each containing a photo of a model along with their name and age. Below it was free space where she was taking notes on each of them basing on their performance.

Within four hours they were done and she had to work with the team to rank them all and find the best candidate. From the fifty two candidates they managed to trim the list down to ten- five males and five females. That was good enough for the time being and those said models were contacted and told they had another evaluation on Monday.

She collected all the data and reported the feedback to Noah, who as usual, was impressed with her work. One of the reasons he had hired her as his personal assistant was because of how efficient she was. Even when he made outrageous demands or gave insane deadlines, she would always look at him with a calm expression and say that she would get it done right away, which she always did. Sometimes he felt like he relied on her too much because what if one day she decided to quit or find a better job elsewhere. But he would never let that happen. Every now and then he made sure to give her reasons to stay. Like when he heard her complain to a coworker about how exhausting it was to to make several trips each day from the fifth floor, where her office was stationed, to the seventh floor each time she needed to report to him and the next day he made arrangements so that her office would be exactly where his was to save her time. On top of that he would randomly give her bonuses even when it was unnecessary - he also gave her days off like during the holidays but she never once used it. She seemed to be just as much of a workaholic as him.

They then went to their last meeting of the day before the office closed.

"Miss Elena." he called out to her as soon as they stepped out of the meeting room.

" The files concerning the diet commercial- I won't be needing it until Monday. "

He said sternly.

"But you said ...."

He cut her off.

"I know what I said but I have a meeting with an important client tomorrow and I won't be receiving anything work related until Monday."

She was surprised since she was not aware of any client meeting that Saturday.

"Would you like for me to make arrangements for you're meeting sir?"

That's Elena for you, ready to jump into work at any time he thought to himself.

"That won't be necessary. I've got it all sorted out."

"Okay then. Have a nice weekend." she said as she walked away, resisting the urge to skip around in excitement.

The next day Noah hired a cleaning agency to come and clean his penthouse which was ironic considering the fact that it was always clean and tidy- but he was so desperate to leave a good first impression on Sasha that he wanted everything beyond perfect. When evening was approaching he took a shower and got dressed. He wore loose pants and a buttoned shirt, which he made sure to leave to the first three buttons undone to give himself a more sexy appeal.

He ordered the best wine money could buy and prepared steak, which he left in the kitchen to be warmed up once she arrived. He also laid out different kinds of condoms and an emergency pill. He made sure she had all the options and she would be the one to choose what works best for her.

Elena on the other hand had spent the whole day visiting various stores and malls trying to find the perfect dress. After hours of searching she finally found her right fit. It was a blue lace up tube dress that brought out her figure in a sexy way. She paired it up with black heels and a golden watch. She didn't want to do too much since everything would be coming off anyway. She then put on some make up and grabbed her purse before heading out of her apartment.

The uber she called was already waiting for her and she got in. In less than an hour she had already arrived. She found it funny that the person she'd been seeing actually lived so close to her than she had expected.

Once she got out of the cab she sent a message to her so called Max.

"I'm down stairs, be there in a few."

"Already waiting for you baby." was his response. When she got to his door she punched in the code he had already given her in advance.

She felt a tingling excitement. This was finally it. The day she meets the man who made her spend countless nights craving his body wanting to get a feel of him. Finally they would get to have the pleasure of their lives.

She opened the door and shut it behind her. The place was dark, apart from the dim lights coming from the candles he had placed on the dining table. She walked a few steps before she felt arms wrap around her waist from behind and she quickly turned. She didn't give him a chance to say anything as she pulled at his shirt for him to bend a little and smashed her lips against his.

He didn't disappoint as he kissed her back like an angry animal, a groan escaping his mouth. His hands traveled to her ass and he gave her tight squeeze which made her gasp.

He used that chance to shove his tongue inside her mouth like he was looking for a lost treasure. Her hands flew to his shirt and she ripped it apart, letting it drop on the floor. He carried her on top of the counter, legs spread and started grinding his dick between her legs through his pants. Despite not penetrating she could still feel some bit of pleasure.

"You like that." he said between kisses, something about his voice was very familiar but Elena was too caught up in the moment to think much about it.

Her response to him was a moan, which he seemed to like. He managed to unzip her dress and expose her breasts. The ones he had seen so many times as she played with them, the ones that bounced continuously whenever she was lost in the joy of pleasuring herself.

Now it was his turn to enjoy them, to get to play with them and know how they feel. He grabbed them with his hands before sucking on each of them. The pleasure that Elena was feeling was immense, she was completely lost. He sucked harder which made her let out a sound that was between a wail and a moan. As he continued to suck on her breast, one hand traveled down between her legs where he pushed her panties aside and found her dripping wet.

"Fuck."

he cussed out. He could have just removed his pants and penetrated into her right there but he wanted her to be as comfortable as she could be so he lifted her up, mouth still locked on hers, and carried her up. He nearly tripped on something so, while still holding her, he headed to where the switch was. She had her arms wrapped around his neck, as she placed kisses all over his jawline.

As soon as the lights came on, they both froze in shock as the realization hit them. Elena quickly let go of Noah and jumped to the ground as she tried to fix her dress and cover up her exposed chest. Noah however, stood there staring at her, his breath still heaving from the make out session they just had.

Elena stood there still in shock not wanting to believe it.

"Max?"

She questioned, hoping that his answer would be negative.

"Yes." was his response.

He didn't seem to be as fazed as she was which she assumed was just how he processed things. Her cheecks burned as she felt ashamed. Without a second thought she dashed out of the door and sprinted outside. People stopped and stared at her. With her current appearance she probably looked like a mistress who had been caught being intimate by the man's wife and had to escape to save her life.

But she didn't care what others thought. All she knew at that moment was that she had to run as far away from there as possible.
