Chapter Five

Sebastian Monteiro pov

I took one other sip of the liquor and set the glass on the desk. I ran my hands across my face and released an agitated  low growl. 

The damn woman would not leave my mind and from yesterday and last night till now,it was getting more than just a tad bit aggravating. What was it about this woman that had me so enraptured?

Was it her eyes? Those damn blue gems.

The way her fitted skirt accentuated her perfect body. 

Or was it her demeanor. She did not appear giddy headed when she met me yesterday. She had come to Monteiro Industries with one goal and just that,to get the job-- and that she had.

But God damn it. This was indeed annoying. Why was it that I could fuck a woman an entire night and forget her name the following morning,the same night even.

But not the damn woman who needed employment. 

Why was it that I wanted to hunt her down and have my wicked way with her until she was damn near losing her sanity? Was it Lust? What else could it be?  Even then, She was not at all my type.

I ran my hands through my hair in agitation and downed the remaining dregs of scotch. Then opened one of the desk drawers to receive the gold iPhone,with the aim of dialling my best friend. Rafael. I needed to speak to him about this before it commenced to furthermore fuck with my head.

I dialled the first couple of digits but a few fast knocks sounded on the door and I retracted,locking the phone and replacing it to the drawer. Contacting Rafael would have to be delayed. Tempirarily. 

I had no need to question who was at the door at this early hour. Only one person would be in the company now. Miss Britondii Luca.

I poured myself another shot of liquor and downed it then called for her to enter.

She entered and I stared at her, my gaze famished and I had to force my self to remain seated for fear that i might attack her like a wild animal. It was as if she dressed this morning to tempt me. When was it that conservative clothing had become so sexy? So damn arousing? Yesterday. I licked my lips slowly willing my cock to halt throbbing-- so painfully hard.

Licking my lips again, I ground my teeth and addressed her.

"Ah miss Luca. You are here . Ahead of time Elaine had prepared a list of duties. Ensure they are completed to me and my company's satisfaction. If I am displeased,do not bother to show up for work tomorrow else you be escorted out. Yes?" I continued when she nodded. " I need my coffee at 7 o clock each and every morning. Not a minute before. Not a minute after. 7 o clock. Ask the world miss Luca if my coffee is not on time, I can be a very difficult man. And most essentially it should be made with just a single packet of sugar and one half of a spoon of powered cream."she looked expectantly at me,note pad in hand,recording my requests not seeming worried at my demands.

"Please do not cross me if you expect to keep your job miss Luca . You are not allowed to address me as Mr Monteiro as we will be working closely together. You will refer to me only as Sebastian."

What! No one here calls you Sebastian except for Elaine and that is because of your relationship.

Either way I would keep my word. Miss Luca would call be Sebastian.

"As my assistant miss Luca you will be required to accompany me on business trips across the world at any time. I repeat do not cross me if you wish to secure your position here at the Monteiro Industries. Have I made myself clear miss Luca?

"Perfectly clear Mr Monteiro. I mean Sebastian." She replied her full pink lips forming into a smirk. Was this woman taunting me?

"Good" your office is already opened. When Elaine comes she will show you around and aid with whatever else you might need assistant. Now,just get my damn coffee, seven o clock has already passed."

"In a brief moment Sebastian" she said,heading out.

I tried to concentrate on the files on my desk but that was a failed attempt as my mind traitorously continued to betray me by switching every so often to the image of that woman.

When Rafael hears of this,he will laugh me to scorn.

As my best friend and I downed coffee that afternoon, I informed him of my problem.

"Rafael, I do not know what has happened man. After she left my office this morning I hardly even got any work done. And you know nothing distracts me from my work."

I scowled at my friend when he continued to chuckle at my misfortune, patronizing me.

He was two years my senior and happily married with a cute bubbly daughter who always squealed "Uncle Seeeeb" whenever she saw me,to his high school sweet heart.

He often encouraged me to  settle down. But we both had known that was something I would never do.

"Sounds like love at first sight" grinned Rafael and I grimaced. Was everybody taunting me today. First miss Luca now my best friend.

Love? I was capable of many things but love was not onto that list.

What the fuck was love? The emotion that had my father commit suicide.

I promised my self, I would never love a woman and I would be damned if I ever did.

"I think she has bewitched me." I was not even negligibly superstitious but that was the only logical explanation for my feelings.

Again laughter was Rafael's only response.

We rose to leave and as we neared the door it was pushed open revealing my PA Miss Luca laughing giddily with a man.
