Hacking into my Hyper-linked Heart

Chapter 14- Mission Cole

"I can imagine the security looking through the small cameras' and seeing you talk to yourself, I bet they are thinking your mentally unstable," chuckled Holly.

"Oh shut up" I mumbled.

When I entered The sixth floor all I could see was everyone busy working on their own little desks, I tore my eyes away from the busy environment and saw the reception desk. "Hi, how can I help you?" Smiled the young lady not much older than me.

"I have an interview with Mr. Cole at 1pm," I answered.

"Take a seat, I will notify Mr. Cole about your presence," I merely nodded as a response and took a seat. All I could hear in my earpiece was what flavour cake they like or don't like.

"Eurgh I hate carrot cake," whined Sally.

"Guys you driving me crazy, just shut up," I whispered but unfortunately I was being ignored.

"What about strawberry flavour?" Leah asked.

"Ooo I love Strawberry," said Holly excitedly.

"When I get out of here I am personally going to stuff your faces in cakes if you don't shut up right now!" I harshly whispered but too loud for the receptionist to hear. She looked up from her file curiously at me. Oh crap! She heard me.

I chuckled nervously "I was just saying," I held the collar of my blouse and fanned it against my skin "it's really hot here." I held my breath waiting to see if she bought my lie.

She smiled "Yeah it is."

At that exact moment her telephone rang and I was asked to follow the receptionist to Ethan Cole's Office. We stopped outside the office as the receptionist told me to go straight through before she turned around and went back. I whispered to the girls "I'm outside his office. I am going to go in."

I instantly heard the girls say 'Good luck.' I took a deep breath and knocked on the door when I heard muffled voice "Come in," that was when I opened the door and saw Ethan Cole typing away on his computer. I gasped at his beauty, I know I have seen him twice but it felt like I am seeing him for the first time. I took my time to analyse him as he concentrated on the computer screen with his long slender fingers tapping away on the keyboard. His black hair were stuck out in different direction giving him a sexy 'messy' look but at the same time he looked really professional. His blank face expression changed to a frown as he narrowed his blue eyes at the screen in concentration. I looked down at his perfectly symmetrical nose , his full lips looked irresistible as he licked his lips due to dryness. I couldn't help but stare at his lips, if only I could kiss him, taste him.

"Sorry for making you wait."

As soon as I heard his deep voice reality hit me. I shook my head for thinking such naughty thoughts, when I really should worry about how he would react. He was still looking at his computer. "Take a seat."

I took a deep breath and sat down. He typed few words before he looked at me with a smile but froze at his eyes laid on me. His eyes bulged out in shock and his smile froze. I sat in my seat patiently waiting how he would react but let me tell you one thing, I didn't expect this as the outcome.

"You," were the words he chose to say after he was over the shock.

I didn't know how to respond so I gave a small smile and said "Hi."

He looked down at his files and said "Myra Dawn" as his lips tugged in a smirk.

"Yes that's me," I smiled at him.

He cleared his throat "I see that you are here for a personal assistant role?" He asked using his professional voice.

I didn't expect this at all, I at least expected an outburst from him but no I was wrong.

"Is that his reaction?" Asked one of the girls

"Yes," I answered to both of the questions I was asked.

"Wow, our mission Cole was not needed at all," Muttered Sally.

"Mission Cole?" Leah asked.

"Yeah, our mission was to help Myra with Ethan Cole so duh mission Cole fits with the plan we had."

"Ahhh very clever." Said Holly.

I cleared my throat so I could shut the girls up. "Would you like a glass of water?" Asked Ethan. Before I could say no he buzzed the reception and asked for a drink. He picked up my file and started to analyse it.

"Make sure it's only water he offers you," Exclaimed Holly and the girls started to laugh at her dirty joke. I wish Holly was in front of me so I could at least inflict some pain to her for such remark.

"From this I can see you have excelled in your studies, but what can you offer me that would make you the ideal candidate for this post?"

"Sex"

"Commitment"

"And more sex," Said the girls in turn. I could feel myself blush slightly due to the stupid comments, before Ethan could notice me blush the receptionist came in with the drinks.

"Thanks Sarah," Said Ethan as Sarah placed the tray on the desk and gave me a small smile before walking out.

"Here you go," He smiled at me

"Thanks" I mumbled as I took a sip from the glass and placed it on the desk. Think Myra think! What will make me an outstanding candidate?

"So?" Ethan raised his eyebrow at me and waited for my answer.

I cleared my throat, "Well I am a hard worker, detail oriented, I can also multitask which I have demonstrated throughout my academic career. I am an very organised individual and have the ability to work well with many different personalities. I am sure with the skills I have stated is what any personal assistant needs to do an outstanding job so I can assure you I will do a brilliant job. "

"So you are currently working as an assistant librarian?"

"Yes I am."

"Why do you want to leave your current job for this vacancy?" Ethan asked as he jotted down something in his file. It seems like he was writing notes about my responses I was giving him.

"He sounds so hot," Stated Sally in a hushed voice.

"I know he's got that deep husky voice," Purred Leah.

I looked at Ethan, he was busy looking down at his file, I whispered in my tiny microphone "Shut up."

Ethan looked up "Did you say something?" He asked with a frown.

"No, I didn't" I smiled innocently at him. "The answer to your question is that," I started speaking before he got suspicious, "I feel like my skills and knowledge are not needed as a librarian assistant, I need a challenge ..."

I didn't get to finish my sentence when the receptionist came rushing in, "I'm sorry for interrupting Sir, but Mr. Silver is here." She announced out of breath with a worried expression.

"Okay thank you for notifying me." Said Ethan and dismissed her. He looked at me and gave me an apologetic expression, "I am so sorry but I will have to end the interview here..."

"But..." I interjected but it seemed like Ethan never heard me.

"I did have this hour free for you but some urgent matter has come up so I apologize for my behaviour, but I need to attend to Mr. Silver." He gave me a small smile.

I looked at his expression and gave up on asking to finish the interview as I was practically dying for this job but I nodded at him "I understand," I smiled. I stood up from my chair as I picked up my folder and took my hand out for Ethan to shake. He placed his hand in mine when I felt the electric thrill, I gasped at the spark and quickly took my hand away "T-Thank you for y-your time," I stuttered and quickly turned around to escape this electrifying feeling.
