Fascinating Danger novel Chapter 3

"Congratulations" he said, looking at me. I furrowed my eyebrows, utterly lost. What was he congratulating me for? He smiled at me, "You've got the job" he said standing up and taking Fabian from my arms.

"Okay" I said, the news still not sinking in yet. I stood from my seat and put my bag over my shoulder. He handed Eve the baby and I watched as he walked out the door.

"Where is he going?" I asked Eve. "To tell all the other women that the job is filled and get Cindy the receptionist to cancel all the other interviews" Eve replied nonchalantly.

Mr De Luca reappeared and I watched as the three women from earlier glared at me through the door, walking towards the elevator.

"Mr De Luca-" I started to say, but he cut me off. "Marco" he said. "Marco then, are you not going to interview all the other people?" I asked concerned.

He shook his head at me, sitting back down at his desk. "But what if there is someone who is better than me and needs this job or something?" I asked, worried that he was being a little too hasty.

"Well then they will find another job. Everyone gets turned down more than once in their lives" he replied with his sexy Italian accent. Oops, not right now Addie.

"Okay then" I said unsure. "You start Monday, 9:30. Pens and other stationary requirements are supplied, I'll be showing you the ropes" he said pulling out another file from his desk.

I nodded and started to walk out the door. "Oh and your lunch hour starts at 1:30" he said. I nodded and walked out of his office.

Marco De Luca POV

My phone buzzed in my pocket and I pulled it out and read the text message. It was Eve; Fabian's pram had gotten caught in the elevator. I stood up and walked over to my office door.

I pulled it open and walked out, looking down the corridor. There were three women sitting in the waiting room, next to Cindy the receptionist.

Two of them noticed me and waved at me, trying to be sexy. I sighed; some people just try too hard. I heard the ding of the elevator and turned around.

Someone walked right into my chest and I looked down to see a woman. She had wavy light brown hair that was falling sexily down her back.

Her eyes were the prettiest hazel I've ever seen. "Oops, sorry" she said, stepping back. "No it wasn't your fault, I do apologize Miss..." I said.

I wanted to know her name so badly. "Addison. Addison Carter" She smiled at me, with that beautiful smile. Addison...what a pretty name.

"Oh yes, you are being interviewed to be my personal assistant, correct?" I asked. She looked slightly embarrassed and a light blush crept up her cheeks.

"You'll have to excuse me, I didn't know that it is your personal assistant I was applying for" she said. I looked her up and down.

She had a light blue skirt that came to her mid thigh, very sexy, a white button up and a light blue cardigan. She had a black leather shoulder bag that she was fiddling with, she looked so innocent.

I walked over to my desk and sat down, pulling out my requirements folder for my personal assistant.

"Do you have your résumé with you?" I asked looking up at her; she nodded and shuffled through her bag. She pulled out her neat résumé and handed it to me.

I read over it, looking at her previous jobs. She was first a receptionist at a hotel that belonged to my babysitters when I was a little boy. But I wasn't about to say that out loud.

"Okay, you worked at the Honey Harnabree Hotel as a receptionist. Mr and Mrs Harnabree left some lovely comments" I said, smiling at her.

She smiled back at me, and I nearly kissed her. She looked down at the floor and smiled. I looked over my desk and Fabian was tapping her leg with one of his toys.

He reached up his arms, something he did whenever he wanted you to pick him up.

"Can I pick him up?" She asked, looking up at me, I nodded watching her carefully. She reached down and gently picked Fabian up. She placed him on her lap and held his sides so he didn't fall.

He lifted his toy and tried to get Addison to take it. She showed him her hand and he placed it in her small palm. He grinned at her and she laughed.

He then leaned back into her and waved his arms at me. He was trying to get my attention; he does this every time he wants me to see something.
