Money Can't Buy Love Seeing Her Again
MichaelEvery ounce of relaxation my body felt after Bar Harbor had been completely obliterated after the three interviews that morning. I wanted to have hope that at least one of them would be qualified but I didn’t get that impression from them. The first two were kiss-asses and while I didn’t normally care for a stroke of my ego, I didn’t need that from an assistant. We were to be in close quarters with each other on a daily basis, so I needed to feel comfortable with them instead of hiring a yes-man.Admittedly, I had been slightly distracted during all three, constantly thinking of Rainey and our meeting earlier that morning. She was able to carry herself professionally with a determination I didn’t see in many women. She had something driving her and I wanted to know her motivation for this job. Coming down to the office to fight for an interview impressed the hell out of me.Though selfishly, I offered her the interview having no intention of hiring a woman as my assistant. At
Money Can't Buy Love The Interview
MichaelI knew I wasn’t supposed to ask her age, but I didn’t intend on hiring a woman. If I offended her, she could drop out of the running herself.“How old are you?” I asked.She flinched and I had to hold back a smile. I wiped my hand over my mouth to erase it and waited for her answer. Watching her hesitation at revealing her age created a thrill inside of me. I casually leaned against the front of my desk thrumming my fingers on the surface, patiently waiting for her answer.“I’m twenty-nine,” she answered.I couldn’t help the surprise from my face. She barely looked twenty-five. There was no way in hell I should have asked her that, but I had to know. Would it come back to bite me in the ass? Maybe. “And you just graduated?”She let out an exasperated breath. “Yes. Are you set on repeat?”A bark of laughter spilled out of me. She was a little firecracker. I smiled broadly and straightened my spine, looking over her resume again. “Why did it take so long for you to get your degr
Money Can't Buy Love A Bit Off
RaineyIt wasn’t until I was seated on the train, after going to the post office for the second time, that I finally felt like I could breathe. Even though the interview had been over for some time, I still felt the weight of it on my chest. The interview wasn’t like the rest. Mr. Carrington—Michael—made me nervous but not for the job. Would I be able to work for a man like that? He broke a lot of rules during the interview but it was also his company. Maybe he had offered me the interview because he pitied me. And then I was late, ruining his lunch plans. Which is probably why he asked me to lunch. He felt bad for me. I did mention school loans, was I his charity case?As the train started out of the station, I leaned my head against the cool glass. I wondered what happened with the other candidates. The woman I’d seen in the bathroom seemed very confident in her interview. Had he given her strange signals too, making her think that he wanted to sleep with her? It made sense. She was
Money Can't Buy Love An Unexpected Phone Call
RaineyI decided to start Tanner on his journey to becoming a chef by letting him stir the sauce for our pasta. He took the job seriously and didn’t move from his perch on the counter top. Normally I wouldn’t let him sit there but I wasn’t going to turn down his offer to help. Maybe when he was older, he would become a chef and cook something for me for a change. A woman could dream…While the water for the pasta was warming up to a boil, I called Tessa to tell her about my day.“Do you need me to come over with some wine?” my best friend asked. “You’re not that far away.”Tessa lived up the road from me for my entire life. She bought her childhood home when her parents retired to Florida. She was my rock in many situations even though at times we fought like sisters. I never missed out on having a sibling she was practically family.“That’s not even the worst of it,” I said, grabbing a box of angel hair pasta from the cabinet. I was only up to the part in the story where I was late f
Money Can't Buy Love Business at the Green
MichaelEven though the sun was beating down on the green, there was a chill in the air that only the start of winter could bring. My curiosity about Sal Rossi got me out of bed that morning to meet with the possible new client. Even seeing him in person didn’t jog my memory. He was a normal looking forty-something-year-old guy with a spare tire around his waist. I rarely got involved on this level anymore, but this was a special circumstance. I had to get a feel for this guy and what plans he had cooking. Fredrick’s warning about speaking with Demetri made the meeting that much more important.We were on the fourth hole when Sal brought up his business. We’d talked the day before on the phone about the possibility of working together but he was very vague on the details. He seemed like a face-to-face business man and that was fine with me. Overall he seemed a bit old-school, I wasn’t a winter golfer so I assumed he wanted a place we’d be alone for this conversation. Though that made
Money Can't Buy Love Lunch With Her
MichaelThe eighteenth hole couldn’t come fast enough. I had to make an excuse about a meeting at the office to Sal so I could be back in time to see Rainey. I’d told Sandra that Rainey said she was available at a moment’s notice so when she called this morning about filling in her paperwork, I made sure Sandra had her in the office for eleven. Making the appointment with Sal early in the morning had been perfect. The course had been devoid of other golfers so we could be in and out of the meeting. And after discussing specifics about the deal, Sal didn’t delay in completing the round of golf.It was close to eleven-thirty when Constantine dropped me off in front of my building.I strode through the lobby and onto the elevator. I hoped I wasn’t too late. There wasn’t much paperwork to be done, only an application and a few contracts.The elevator doors opened on my floor and I blinked in surprise when I saw Rainey standing there.She moved aside, to let me off. “Good morning, Mr. Carr
Money Can't Buy Love Assumptions
RaineyAfter lunch with Michael, we headed back to the office for a few hours where he showed me to my own desk right outside his office which would give me quick access to him. He let me go early since he had a late afternoon meeting. His arrogance seemed on par with the other rich corporate types in the City. I didn’t know why I expected anything less. By the end of the meal, I quickly added the cost of everything and the lunch was well over my household budget for the month. I tried to hide my surprise. What it must be like to not worry about money. I had a job now, but I would never be that wealthy.And when I told my mom all of that, she simply nodded. “Maybe you need to get to know him a little better before judging him.”My mouth popped open but I had nothing to say. She was right. I didn’t know much about him.“Give him at least a week before making assumptions,” she said with a wink.A text chirped from my cell from Tessa, wanting to go out and celebrate my new job.“Who’s th
Money Can't Buy Love At The Club
RaineyTessa had been right, the food was amazing. We were given several plates of small tapas but each piece packed a huge flavor. The mix of spices and sweetness of the morsels were to die for as Tessa had said.Two more drinks in, Tessa got the check for the table.“Are we going home?” I asked, now comfortable in our surroundings. I didn’t want to leave yet.“No way, we’re going to the club.”I really didn’t want to go anywhere else and ruin my buzz. “We can’t stay here?”Tessa rolled her eyes. “The dance floor is through there, sweetie.” She pointed to a door in the back of the room.We settled the check and Tessa lead me through the crowd. “Normally the entrance is through the front but since it’s not that busy tonight, they closed that part.”Since she said it wasn’t busy I expected me and Tessa to be the only people going into the dancing part of the club. Through a short hallway, we entered the space. I couldn’t help but gawk at a number of people. The music from the restauran
