As Sarah sat facing the stone faced CEO of Lintel clothing limited, she knew she was making a mistake of staying and still making a mistake of not attempting to leave at all. She was in no condition to sit down with Alex Smith and talk about job when they both had something so strong connecting them. Suddenly, when she couldn't take his stone cold eyes anymore, she stood up attempting to leave when his deep baritone voice stopped her

" Where do you think you are going Ms. Greene!"

Sarah stopped moving, the icy tone he used to pronounce her name gave her chills

"Am leaving Mr. Smith. Am no longer interested in the job anymore" she said facing him

Alex frowned, his blue eyes sending arrows at her. Then he asked

"When you were not interested in the job, why did you bother going through all the stress of an interview?"

"I didn't know you own Lintel clothing" Sarah answered. Her hands clenching at her sides " I thought you were only interested in petroleum and buying estates"

Alex reduced the tightness of his tie, it was suddenly as if he was suffocating and he needed air despite the air condition in the office and this woman in front of him was really making things difficult in that really short skirt and high heels with legs that could go on forever. He was using all of his willpower to allow his eyes stay focus on hers.

"There's still so much you don't know about me Sarah" he said. Sitting down wasn't doing much advantage to him and so he stood up from his chair and walked to where she was standing

"Really?" She asked, one of her eyebrow raised "am sorry then Mr. Smith but am no longer interested in the job. Good day" Sarah said and was walking out. She had decided to earn a living for herself and her three years old daughter. She had hoped that she would be taken for the job and her livelihood would be secured but things ha changed now that Alex is in the picture.

Clothing line and fashion had always been Sarah's dream. To own a clothing company of her own, organise and manage a popular clothing company that only belonged to her, but it seemed her dreams was a far fetched cry from her and it could never happen with the merger amount of money in her bank account.

"What if I give you $17,000 as salary for the job?"

She stopped by the doorway and looked back. Surprised

"$17,000 is really worth the job" Alex said again with an icy glare

How was he trying to negotiate a deal with that cold expression of his.

"I...are you trying to buy me for this job?" Sarah asked

"Buy you?" Alex repeated and gave a chuckle that sent the whole of Sarah's body on fire. "Am only trying to make things beneficial to both of us....I know you are good for this job and am confident that you would do well...so...I want you as much as I want the money you would make for me"

Sarah shivered..she thought...he just said he wanted her and that just made her a lot wet and... It wasn't even meant the way she thought it was suppose to mean. She blinked and said

"I want some rules established first"

Alex narrowed his eyes and asked

"What rules?"

"Its strictly business between us"

Alex gave a slight smile that Sarah knew so well, that smile that had made her fall in love with him. He move close to her...so close that she could smell his expensive cologne so well and knew the name and its brand. His eyes fixed on hers and as he bend his head low to her ears and asked
