eeded a drink, food and the company of his woman. He called for Andre and went home instead.

n the mood to be sifting through hundreds of resumes when I have you right in front of me. The job is yours, hands down." Philip sounded angry as his face changed. Most women would jump at the opportunity he was giving her, but she was not only second guessing his decision but her own capabilities."Now, this is your office, next to mine of course, you have sitting, dining areas, private sleeping quarters in case you work late and don't want to drive home. No one is allowed up here but you and unless we give permission. All meetings are held on the second floor, we have catered lunch. I developed an app specifically for this company, I have over four thousand employees and I have a contract with a restaurant to cater to all our needs. Download it to your cell and order when you like, the service is 24hrs but you need to order at least half hr in advance so they can prepare. I was going to get a simple car for you to get you to and from the club but since you will beworking here, I'm upgrading your vehicle. You also have a private parking space underground; I will have everything setup for you by tomorrow.We have lots of benefits; insurance, pension, health, and they will be automatic for you as well. If there is anything you see lacking in the company, feel free to suggest it and we can discuss. You will be in charge of the Marketing department as well. The only person you answer to is me. You will be on a trial basis for three months at the end of that, if you can hack it, marketing for the clubs will fall under your direction as well.""When did you decide all of this?""The minute I looked at your resume... I am lucky to have you and that suit is wreaking havoc on me.""This is my premium suit; I don't wear it often.""Well then I must get more for you, you look ravishing." Maddison blushed."Sir, you better behave." "With you? Never.""Okay you bad boy, let me get affiliated with the company.""Nope, that is next week. We don't currently have any pressing projects and my staff already are working on other jobs. This week you will take the time to get everything in order, your wardrobe, car, benefits, expense account, travel documents everything, must be done this week, you will have an assistant, she is on the second floor with mine. I travel often, sometimes you will go with me, other times you will be in charge when I am gone.""Philip, this is a lot, how are you so trusting of me in just a few days?" Philip smiled."I saw my brother having sex with my wife, two people I knew, I trusted them. What's the point of trust when it is misplaced? Your job is to keep mycompany running smoothly, any issues, call me immediately, we will solve them together. Deal?"Maddison smiled at Philip warmly."Deal. Now you can have that kiss." Maddison said softly."Definitely." When Maddison leaned down to kiss Philip on the lips, he pulled her onto his lap."Philip, STOP!"Philip quickly felt embarrassed and allowed her to get up. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. It won't happen again.""Philip, I didn't tell you to stop because I was offended or scared, I said it because I didn't want to hurt you!""Hurt me?" Philip was confused."Yes, I'm too heavy to be sitting in your lap." She knew she wasn't a size two and being conscious of her weight, she stayed away from men. People could be cruel to others who don't fall into the norm. The insults she endured over the years, crushed her confidence unless she was on stage.Philip laughed out loud."Maddison. Come here."
