I’D REALLY SCREWED UP this time. I had no idea how I’d managed to
lose the money. I swore I’d taken the guest’s payment correctly, but then…
it was just gone! Shit. Guilt made my insides squirm, and my hand shook as
I raised it to knock on Monsieur Holland’s office door. I waited patiently
until I heard him call, “Come in.”
This wasn’t the first time I’d knocked on his door, and I hoped it wasn’t
the last. He wouldn’t fire me… right? It was an honest mistake. It wasn’t
like I stole the money. Sweat slicked my palms as I turned the knob and
crept into my boss’s office.
Emerson Holland made my heart race, this was nothing new. Every damn
time I saw him, my world seemed to spin just a little faster, but it was
usually for a more familiar reason. A more pleasurable reason… The man
drove me absolutely wild, and I wasn’t even sure if he knew the extent of
my fixation. I dreamed about him every night, fantasized every day.
But he was my boss, and that meant he was off-limits.
Roland
I stepped into his office, filled with dread, and he looked up from his
paperwork, his cool blue eyes making me shiver. “Yes, Roland? What is it?”
Reluctantly, I closed the door behind me with an ominous click. If he was
going to yell at me, I didn’t need witnesses. My coworkers were a bunch of
gossipy hens. Turning to face him again, I couldn’t quite make eye contact.
“Um, I… I kinda… lost some money.” I gulped, my throat tight. “I promise
I’ll find it! And if I can’t, you can take it out of my paycheck!” I blathered,
hating the way his eyes narrowed on me.
“That won’t be necessary,” he said, his voice surprisingly calm. He simply
picked up his pen and went back to his paperwork.
“It-it won’t?” I stammered.
“No, of course not, as you will no longer be receiving paychecks here.
You’re fired.”
“What?!” I screeched, panic taking control of my senses and leaving me
breathless. Black spots flitted across my vision. I couldn’t be fired! It was
the first time I’d done anything wrong, and I’d been working here for years!
This place was like my home, the staff like my family! This couldn’t be
happening. “Please, sir, I’ll do anything! I can’t lose this job!” I wailed.
He seemed to go perfectly still, then he set his pen aside and looked back
up at me through his blond lashes, his eyes flashing. “Anything?”
“Yes! Absolutely anything. I’m yours to command.” Did he want me to
beg? Because I totally would.
Emerson leaned back in his chair, steepling his hands under his chin,
giving me his whole focus. As his eyes roamed lower on my body, it left a
trail of goosebumps, like his gaze was a physical touch. “Very well, Roland.
I’m sure we can come to some kind of agreement.”
