Chapter 5 - First day nerves.

"I'm sure I wrote down 'motor boat material.'" We both start laughing when his phone starts ringing, he answers on speaker.

"Hello?" He asks in his boss voice, composing himself.

"Mr.Reid are you free tomorrow at one o'clock for a meeting?" Beth asks. He looks at me and I stifle a laugh.

"Sorry Beth but i'm busy."

"Okay, thank you." She ends the call and we both start laughing again.

"My turn." I say to him and he looks at me questionably.

"For what?"

"Asking questions. Unless you're scared." I add, making sure he says yes.

"Shoot." He says.

"Full name?" I ask first.

"Everett Blane Reid." I take a piece of paper off his desk and take his pen out of his hand, my fingers brushing his. I write it down and he smiles.

"Age, Everett?"

"23"

"Hobbies?"

"Same as you." It took me a second to register and I smiled at the paper as I wrote it down.

"Interests?"

"Girls and sports." Typical guy.

"Size of your--" I started to ask but someone walks into his office and I stop myself. A girl with a sleek blonde bob cut walks into the office, like she owns it. She smiles at Everett and stops beside his desk, ignorng me.

"Mr.Reid?" She purrs, swaying her hips from side to side.

"Addie?" He says, watching her hips.

"Nathaniel wants to know if the new chick is going to have the desk next to him so I told him I would ask you."

"The new chick's name is Callie and yes." He tells her. She leans in close to him, her assets stopping in front of his face. She whispers something into his ear, his eyes enjoying their view. Her lips curl back into a smile and she straightens up, her blue eyes looking at me for a breif second. Clearly she was not impressed with me. Like I could give a shit. She turns around and walks out of the office, Everett watching her ass the whole time. What a player. She closes the sliding door before departing, making sure to wink at Everett.

"So, where were we?" Everett asks, looking back at me with a smug smile.

"I was about to leave." I informed him, folding my piece of paper and putting it in my office.

"Wait, I have just one more question for you." I stop and look at him, waiting. "Where are you living?"

"Um, i'm at a hotel until tomorrow."

"Then where will you be?" He asks curiously.

"I don't know." I answer honestly.

"I will organise a place for you." He says, I was about to argue but he cuts me off. "I can't have one of my workers without a place to stay." He then picks up his phone and orders someone to come in the office. I look at him as he talks, his white shirt fitting snuggly on his chest, I can just imagine the abs under there. I quickly snap out of my thoughts and see that Everett is looking at me, smirking. Suddenly Nat walks in and comes to my side, i'm grateful to be out of his focus.

"Nat can you take Callie to her desk and show her around, make her comfortable and fill her in on what she has to do." Everett says to Nat.

"Yes Mr.Reid." Nat slides his hand to the small of my back and leads me out of the office. He takes me to a part of the room with two desks further apart from everyone else. "So this is your desk, and the one across from it is mine." He says, gesturing to the two desks.
