“Give me one moment.” I stood up and went to Jana outside.
“Hey, tell the rest of the applicants the position has been filled. If they still try to come inside…just try and make sure they don’t.”
She frowned. “That isn’t fair. You should at least listen.” That was Jana for don’t be absurd, you aren’t doing that.
I rolled my eyes and went back inside. We still had to pick buyouts anyway.
I was so set on this girl, I was ready to go.
Back in the room, Madeline looked very poised as she packed up her things, and the look on Logan’s face told me he was thinking the same thing. We wanted her.
It had been a while since we shared someone, we’d been busy; I guess. But now, things were calming down. The team was taking care of the more time-consuming shit so we could just focus on the big things, like this damned interview session that had gone on for almost three hours.
I sat back with Logan, as Madeline finished gathering her oversized graphics I took the opportunity to discuss things with Logan.
“What do you think?” I whispered to Logan. He shrugged.
“I liked the presentation.” He murmured, though he was talking so quietly he was practically mouthing.
“Yeah, obviously.”
“We’ll make her the CEO offer. But we’ve got to keep things separate to avoid a scandal.” He said.
That was pretty much code for he was on the fence about it. He liked to keep things separate or he loses it, it may be a condition or something; I don’t know. Even if his food touches, he doesn’t like that very much.
He cleared his throat and took the lead. It was better that way anyway, I wasn’t very good at being subtle.
“Miss Jackson, we want to make you an offer.”
She stood before us, eyes wide and lips full and pursed. I could imagine hundreds of tasks for those lips of hers. She had a distinct look to her; those clear green eyes and brown hair were in such a contrast. The thick braid she pulled her hair back in would be perfect for pulling, tugging…
“Really?” her plump, peachy lips hinted at a smile.
“Yes, our first one today.” Logan said. I heard the anticipation in his voice. He could try and hide it as much as he wanted, but I know he wanted her too.
“Whoa, I’m honored. Thank you.” A beautiful smile found her face. She lit the room up, making things very hard. Particularly my dick.
“No problem, we enjoyed your presentation. And think it is a good fit for our company. We have a few more applicants to see, but we want to offer you the CEO Mentorship position.”
Her big round eyes widened even more before she composed herself. Her eyes glinted over to me and I realized I was inadvertently staring. I managed a reassuring smile that looked less like ‘I want to fuck you’ and more like ‘welcome to the team.’
“Okay, thank you. Thank you so much.” She smiled at the both of us.
I deftly nudged Logan under the table to hint at the other offer. Though we couldn’t hint at it quite yet, we didn’t want her thinking that’s the only reason she was chosen. I did like her idea, and she was qualified. But she was fucking gorgeous and has a body I just couldn’t let go.
“If you don’t mind waiting for a little bit, we can discuss more after we’ve seen the other applicants.” Logan added.
She nodded eagerly. “Of course.”
“Jana will show you where to wait.”
She nodded and grabbed her things before leaving. I took a deep exhale and leaned back. I rubbed my face in frustration; professional and sexual. The last thing I wanted to do was sit here and listen to more presentations.
“There are only six more, toughen up.” Logan teased.
“How are we going to convince her?” I asked pointedly.
