But there was something about all them, the applicants, including the secretary which just raised her hairs up, as if she was in a hunting game and was the prey. But she just ignored that thought contributing it to the nerves.
There in the applicants’ room, they all looked at her in surprise wondering what she was doing here but she stared back anyone who dared. This was a free country and she was going to make sure Mr. Ashwood stopped being sexists and gave her the job.
But unknown by Fiona, there were all not surprised by her being a woman, it was because she was a human! Ashwood enterprise only hired shifters and their job Ads were secretly distributed to shifters only. No human ever got hired there or even received the job advert.
To Fiona`s dismay some males then started instead hitting on her, asking for her number and looked at her as if she was no competition at all when it came to getting the job. Well she was going to show them all!
‘’Hey, so how did you know about the Ad?’’ one of the males an Irish red head who sat next to her then asked and she first looked sharply at him ready to give him a taste of his own medicine if he was trying to make fun of her.
But instead her face softened as she realized he was just asking out of friendly curiosity.
‘’I read it from some paper which I picked up by some tree during a hike and Yes I know about the Ad wanting males only but I’m here to change Mr. Ashwood`s mind and help him to stop being so sexists by giving me the job.’’ Fiona then replied the man with a small friendly smile on her face.
‘’Well, you do look determined and I hope you accomplish your task.’’ The young redhead man then replied her now flashing his own smile while also now understanding how this young gorgeous human woman had gotten the Ad.
Everyone in the room all being shifters with super sensitive hearing, had all heard her reply too and now understood the reason why a human was here. She had found the Ad misplaced by some careless shifter who was supposed to be here for the interview.
Some of them where now looking at her in amusement as she did not even know that she was sitting in a room with predators, shifters of all kinds from cheetahs, werewolves to bears and heck she had the sweetest scent.
But none of them dared pounce on her here as they were all afraid of facing Mr. Ashwood`s wrath and no one messed with an Alpha Lion shifter.
Fiona then ended up chatting like friends with the redhead while the interview process went on with people`s name`s being called and they even exchanged numbers as Fiona also liked him on the spot.
‘’Gerald Turner, your next.” The acting secretary`s deep voice then shouted and her new friend stood up and went for his interview after she wished him good luck.
But it sucked a little as Fiona was now left sitting on the couch with no one nice to talk too but this mean moody looking, blonde muscled guy who did not look like he was even going for an interview.
He was not even dressed formally in a suit and instead wore black gumboots, had shaggy hair and was dressed as if he were going to the military instead.
Noticing her looking at him, he glared at her and sneered in a rude way as if she was beneath him. Fiona widened her eyes at this but before she could open her mouth and scold him for being so rude, he got called next for the interview and stood up leaving for Mr. Ashwood`s office.
Fiona sighed happy to be ridden of him but she was now left alone and going to be the last person to be interviewed. In the defining silence, the nerves then started kicking in.
What if she had just wasted her time by coming here, could she even take another job rejection? And was this her destiny to always be getting rejected and alone?
All the while in Mr. Ashwood`s office…
‘’Come in.” Alexio Ashwood the billionaire CEO and owner of Ashwood Enterprise then shouted in a bored voice, now regretting ever wanting to do his own interviews for a personal assistant.
He should have just let someone do it as all the applicants were just as boring, dull and saying the same things as the previous one. It was as if they had all just googled and used the same site word by word on what to say during an interview to get the job. And here he had expected more from his fellow shifters.
They were not supposed to behave the same as humans. Maybe he should just have built an arena and had a shifter fighting competition, hiring only the winner and yes that would have been much more exciting.
‘’Panthera leo krugeri…White Lion.”
Alexio then froze where he sat on his chair, looking out at the view from his glass office window view.
‘’Why is it, that you people and my pig headed father, can’t get it into your thick lion heads, that I’m not ever coming back to the pride and just leave me alone! I ran away and left for a reason.’’ Alexio then said angrily grating the words through his teeth as he turned his chair around to face the familiar blonde muscled guy wearing military clothes named Bruce.
He was one of his father`s little minions and Alexio hated the guy even when he used to live with the pride.
‘’Just because you are now a billionaire and busy living with disgusting humans does not mean you can run away from who you are, you are the Alpha lion heir and the next Alpha of our pride. And your father has send me to tell you again to started finding a your lioness mate and getting her pregnant to provide more heirs for the pride-
Grrrrrrrrrrrr
Alexio then let out a low deep angry roar not able to hear this talk anymore, luckily the walls were sound proof or else people outside the office would have been able to hear it. But then again it would not matter as all his fellow employees where shifters. That meant he could shift here whenever he liked.
Using super unnatural speed he stood up and rushed to stand in front of the unwanted visitor, staring him up in the face.
‘’I will never go back to that pride as long as that bastard controlling father of mine exists! Tell him that by now he should be knowing that his controlling days of me ended a long time ago. I’m am now my own man and I do what I want, however I want. ‘’ Alexio then said angrily with his eyes now almost about to turn yellow as his lion wanted out, to show this disrespecting visitor a thing or two and put him in his place.
‘’And as I have always to you and just to spite that Alpha of yours, I am not ever going to find a mate if it’s the last thing I do and he is not getting any heirs or grandbabies from me. Heck what do you even think right now is the reason I’m becoming celibate and only working with shifter males around me?’’ Alexio then continued now with a smug look on his face.
No more shifter females near him, meant no more mate finding and his father not getting what he wanted. That is why he was only hiring shifter males to work close with him. Work was the only place he interacted with others but at night he got busy gallivanting alone and hunting in his backyard forest in lion form.
‘’What about that human woman sitting outside your office? I didn’t know that you were now sleeping with food instead.’’ Bruce then replied wanting to get the last word out.
Before Alexio could shout at him on what that hell was he talking about, Bruce quickly left the office, as he had completed his task of delivering the mate message.
Alexio then turned on one of his cameras and saw this black gorgeous woman who sat in one of his waiting room and looked to be waiting for the interview call. He looked at the next name on his board, it was Tiran a male name and then looked back at the woman.
So she had lied to them but then again what was her agenda for doing this?
If what Bruce had said was true, that she was human then also how had she gotten the job Ad only given to shifters?
Alexio`s mind then wandered about what he was going to find out about her from his private investigator. But he could not take his eyes of her as she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen and that was a big compliment since he had previously had his own share of beautiful shifter women.
An idea then came to Alexio and a huge smirk formed on h
is face at what he was about to do. His father`s hatred of humans was known all over, he loathed humans and called them food.
So Alexio could not wait to hear of his father`s reaction from hearing the news that instead of finding a mate, his son was now busy entertaining a human woman!
Chapter 3
‘’I can’t believe I got the job! His other secretary just came to me and congratulated me saying that I got the job and would start working tomorrow. I did not even have to go to an interview or speak to Mr. Ashwood. Can you believe it?’’ Fiona said to Tracy on the phone. She was now driving home, feeling happy at the news and they both started screaming in joy.
‘’I’m so happy for you, and you totally deserve this Job. Didn’t I always tell you that all those previous Job rejections meant that something much better was coming.’’ Tracy then replied Fiona making her remember all those times she had almost given up to go do waitressing job instead.
‘’Thanks Tracy, I owe this all to you for it was always you who helped me to never give up. I love you and you are the best friend any girl could ever have. Thank you for always believing in me.’’ Fiona then replied her as she was truly grateful for all the help and Tracy being a good friend.
‘’Fifi, stop it! You are now almost making me cry. And as soon as I finish my job, I’m coming home with some wine so that we can celebrate.” Tracy then replied and they finished talking.
And as she arrived at the house, Fiona felt as if she could touch the sky. Finally God was smiling down on her as this was just the right break she needed.
With a Cv job reference to Ashwood enterprise, she could now get a job anywhere. Companies would be begging for her to take their offers as it was well known that Ashwood enterprise only hired the best.
She now so wanted to laugh in the faces of all those applicants who had looked down on her at the job interview thinking she had no chance of getting the job. In your faces! She wanted to tell them.
*****
Fiona then quickly woke up early in the morning and it was such a beautiful day, with the birds chirping happy songs and the sun brightly shining. She felt as if nothing could ruin this day.
Yesterday night they had celebrated with Tracy even inviting some friends and it had almost turned to full blown party. Luckily Fiona had been wise to not drink too much or else she would have had to go to her first day of work drunk and giving a bad first impression.
But the nerves then came back to her of now thinking about how she now had to work and keep her job.
She then wore some formal work clothes from her wardrobe making sure to look her best and left for work after saying bye to Tracy.
And as she got out of the cab now looking up at the huge gigantic billboard sign, of Ashwood enterprise, butterflies flattered in her stomach at the thought that this was now her workplace.
She then greeted the brown haired lady receptionists and they started talking while being led up to Mr. Ashwood`s office. She now knew that the lady`s name was Charity and she was a cousin of some sort to Mr. Ashwood.
She then met the brunet haired guy who was the secretary from last time she came for the interview and he told her his name was Ray. He then started training her on what was going to be required of her to do as Mr. Ashwood`s personal assistant. She enjoyed being trained by him as he explained everything properly and answered any questions she had.
But then there was also these looks she was getting whenever she was sent by Ray to the down floors in other departments to get documents. They were all looking at her like she was some Alien.
And some had even dared to ask her if she truly worked there. And she was answering each and every one of them confidently that yes she truly worked here and was their CEO`s personal assistant. She knew they were all jealous and just wanted to throw it to their faces.
But she had not even yet met or seen her boss as apparently Ray had said that Mr. Ashwood had gone to some meeting.
But one person had rattled her anger by asking if she had maybe slept with the boss and was good in bed for a human, to get the Job.
Fiona had almost felt like slapping the rude guy for even daring to think something like that and was it really shocking for someone like her to have gotten this job? Plus if she was a human, what was he?
So as she stepped into the elevator where some smartly dressed white gentleman was already waiting in, she did not even bother to take a really good look at him as she was just blinded by rage and raging mad.
‘’Anything wrong miss, you look…raged?’’ the deep sexy voice of her elevator companion then snapped Fiona out of her mad thoughts.
Needing someone to vent to about her frustration, Fiona then started talking without looking at the man yet,
‘’Can you believe that some guy had the guts to actually come and ask if me being good in bed was the reason I got hired to Mr. Ashwood’s personal assistant?
I haven’t even met Mr. Ashwood yet and don’t even know what he looks like. Even if he was sexy as hell I would not even ever bother sleeping with a boss to get a job as if I can’t get a job by myself-
Fiona then paused in voicing her dilemma as she finally truly looked at the stranger only to find herself totally paralyzed by how handsome he was.
It was as if everything around her and whatever she had been about to say was now a blur because of this handsome sexy looking man standing in the elevator with her.
From those mesmerising dark intense eyes of his which were so dark grey that they were almost black, to that gorgeous golden brown hair which she wanted smoothly run through with her hands to those tempting kissable lips.
She felt as if she was looking at a super male model, no actually that’s too low for he looked like some Adonis demi-god with this super amazing physique which was still visible even though covered by a super expensive suit.
And damn those huge hands if they ever got hold of her, she knew she would swoon. It was as if everything about him just screamed pure and magnetic sex and she was already getting turned on by checking him out. It was so weird as she had never had a thing for white guys but this one just totally rivalled all the black men she had ever been attracted to.
As for him, he also stared at her not smiling, just intensely studying her and memorising every inch of her curvy hour glass body and delicious looking dark chocolate skin.
He then went on to blatantly taking his time to let his intense dark gaze linger on her lips, the fullness before giving again her white blouse and black skirt outfit a cursory glance. That kind of glance which made Fiona feel as if she might as well have been nude and made her wet already.
And then their eyes locked, her light brown eyes into his dark grey ones…it was as if the earth`s gravity had shifted at that exact moment and time had stopped.
And the battle then began with both now daring each other to give in and make the first move as this sexual energy started growing and humming between them.
Fiona not able to take the temptation any longer and no longer able to think clearly only overcame with need…for him, then moved smashing her lips to his kissable ones.
And he quickly responded by taking control, devouring her mouth with unsalable hunger and dominating her. She no longer thought or cared about being found out having sex with this handsome white stranger in an elevator.
She even did not notice the feeling of a cool stone caused by her back touching the elevator wall with him now in front as their tongues battled for dominance doing a twirling dance.
While his magnificent huge hand held her in a dominated position with his lips busy devouring her, his other magnificent hand then started trailing up her thigh causing her to wrap her leg around him, as sparks of fire leaped wherever he touched.
He then hitched his hand up her skirt until her black lacy pant was within his reach causing Fiona`s heart rate to spike in excitement at what he was about to do next.
She then let out a loud moan of groaning pleasure as soon as he pushed her panti
es to the side and skilfully stuck a finger inside her.
She then found herself thrusting her hips against his finger willing it to go deeper and deeper until it consumed her whole and quenched her sexual hunger.
He did not disappoint as his finger then started moving quickly fucking her and she was in pure ecstasy.
But as soon as she come all over the handsome stranger`s hand, the elevator door then dinged and opened, freezing Fiona on the spot.
Chapter 4
Fiona almost wished that she could disappear and become invisible right now as standing right outside and about to enter into the elevator was none other than Ray. The man who was her job trainer and Mr. Ashwood’s other secretary! And he was now looking with surprise at her in this promiscuous position.
She was now so going to get fired as Mr. Ashwood the CEO and owner of this company was going to hear about her busy almost having sex with strangers in the elevator instead of working. To make it worse, it was her first day and she still desperately needed the job.
Tears almost threatened to all from her eyes at the thought of how she was going to tell Tracy but she reigned them in, she was a headstrong person and would cry later in the bathroom after getting fired.
As for her handsome elevator stranger, he did not even seem fazed by Ray`s presence and took his time removing himself from her while Ray watched in silence with wide eyes.
And Fiona almost glared at the handsome stranger for being so calm when she was about to lose her job because of him since it was all his fault for being so irresistible.
The handsome white stranger then calmly took some expensive white handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands, making Fiona blush at the thought of where that hand had just been. Fiona then quickly composed herself pulling down her skirt and turned to Ray.
Just as Fiona was about to desperately beg Ray to not say anything to the boss Mr. Ashwood about this situation, her handsome white stranger then spoke to Ray with Authority surprising her.
