CHAPTER SIXTEEN
How would you feel if Chris Hemsworth was looking at you straight in the eye and asking you to be his secretary ? Well that’s how I feel right now .
“ I’m not so sure about what secretaries do , I mean I’m a trained fashion designer not a trained personal assistant “ I said
“ Mr Rogers will put you through “ he said
“ If I have to be your secretary I have my own condition too “
“ ok let’s hear it “ He said
“ I can’t quit my job in the fashion department “
“ ok …”
“ I would love to continue working in the Fashion department even if I’m your secretary sir “ I said
“ I already thought about that , Mr Rogers will be in charge of the notes and office while you will be in charge of the social assignment and outings “ he said
“ outings ?” I asked
“ yes , brace yourself up Miss Paley” he said
“ Ok so is that a deal ?” I asked
“ of course it’s deal “ he said
Wow … that was easy .
“ I’m done with the ice cream “ he said showing me the empty bowl and I smiled .
I collected the bowl and tossed it in the trash can , Then he laid down on the bed and faced me .
“ Miss Paley “
“ Yes”
“ Can I ask you a question ?” he asked
“ Of course “ I replied
“ Why fashion designing ?” he asked
“ What do you mean ?” I asked
“ No offense but the tabloids says you used to be a model , why’d you stop ?” he asked
“ Wow Mr Harlow , have you been thinking about me ?” I asked
“ Yes , every single minute you’re always on my mind “ he said and we both laughed
“ But no kidding Miss Paley the first day we met I thought you were a model that was why I assumed you were trying to hit on me “ he said
“ I stopped modelling two years ago “ I said
“ why ?” he asked
Why is he so persistent ?
“ It’s a really long and boring story , I don’t wanna bore you “ I said
“ Too bad I love boring stories “ he said
“ Arrrgh Mr Harlow , ok let’s just say I was betrayed by someone I really trusted and I had to stop modelling for her “ I said
“ her ?” he asked
“ Yeah she’s a lady “ I confirmed
“ wow , Miss Paley are you Gay ?” he asked
“ what ? No I’m not “ I said
“ phew , for a minute there I thought you were into girls “ he said
What’s his business ?
“ How are you concerned if I’m into girls “ I asked
“ How else am I supposed to shoot my shot ?” he asked throwing me a wink
Oh my God did my stupid heart just flutter ?
I quickly looked away from his gaze
“ So why did you decide to be a model ?” I asked changing the topic .
“ It’s also a long boring story “ he said
“ Too bad I love boring stories “ I said imitating him and we both laughed
“ Honestly , it was all my mom’s idea , she always wanted me to be an actor and dad wanted me to be a model or musician “ he said
Wow
“ so what happened to being a musician ?” I asked
“ That dreamed died when I went for Americans got talent at the age of Fourteen “ he said
“ oh my God what happened ?”
“ I got four Nos “ he said and I started laughing
“ oh wow , now you’re making fun of me too “
“ Really ? Four Nos ? You must be a really terrible singer “ I said still laughing
“ ha ha ha laugh all you want Miss Paley “ he said
“ it’s ok , I can’t sing either… that makes it two of us “ I said and he smiled
Sweet cheese ! That smile …
“ so what exactly did you want to do ?” I asked
“ what ?”
“ I mean your mom wants you to be an actor and your dad wants you to be a model , so what exactly did you want for yourself ?” I asked
“ wow , you never cease to surprise me Miss Paley “
“ why ?” I asked
“ No one has ever asked me that “
“ wow did I just break one if Mr Harlow’s record ?” I asked and he laughed
“ I wanted to be an artist … a painter to be precise “ he said
“ Awwwn , I have a soft spot for paintings “ I said
“ dang it , I knew I should have been an artist , you would probably sleep with me if I’m one right ?” he asked wiggling his eyebrows
Wow , Mr Harlow is another type of crazy …
“ No I won’t “ I replied coldly
“ ouch that hurts “ he said holding his chest to feign pain and I laughed
“ so what about you ? If you didn’t get a job as a fashion designer , what would you have opted for ?” he asked
“ I would have been a full time dancer “ I said
“ No way , I always knew you were a good dancer since I saw you that day “
“ what day?” I asked
“ The day I caught you dancing with some dude in your office “ he said
Oh the day he said we were meant to be in bed together .
“ oh that day “ I said laughing
“ Come on , show me some of your sexy moves “ he said
“ in your dreams sir “ I said and he laughed
“ I just say you’re really fun when you’re not calling me names or kicking my balls “
Arrgh ! Not that
“ Honestly Mr Harlow , I regret my actions every night and day “ I said and he raised an perfectly shaped eyebrow
“ what ?” I asked
“ Let’s be friend “ he suddenly said
Wait what ?
Mr Harlow wants to be friends with me?
“ Why ?” I asked
“ I already told you Laura , I want to be in bed with you so let’s just say this is my scheme to try and get in your pants “ he said bluntly
Wow this dude ain’t got no fear .
“ Really ? So why are you telling me your plans Mr Harlow ? What if I ruin them ?” I asked
Then he put his hand on my jaw raising my head up to his face a little
“ I was just warning you before I attack Miss Paley , once I see something I’m interested in I don’t back out “ he said
Oh my God
“ So I’m that something ?” I asked
Then he moved his face deadly closer to mine
“ Yes Miss Paley you are , I’ll seduce you , I’ll seduce you and eventually bring you to bed with me “ he whispered
Ok Laura breathe
You got this girl , breathe .
“ umm I –“
“ Be my friend ?” he asked and immediately my heart started beating like a drum .
No no no , don’t you dare flutter , you stupid heart
Oh this is bad , really bad …
