" Miss Steele, Mr. Grey is here for the interview" I hear Amanda saying , she is one of my receptionist. Fuck! I Have forgotten about the interview, I need a new personal assistant. And only God knows how much I hate all this interviews, all the guys and girls that come at the interview with their stupid diploma, when actually their knowledge is fucking low. I am sure this Mr. Grey is another very young man, that just had finished college. And I know after 15 minutes he'll get out of my office and probably will hate me. Yes, I am a bitch, but who wouldn't be in my place? I am 25, and I run my own company already, and I had worked hard for what I have now, not like all those stupid kids that come here.
I love control, that's how I live, I never was a girl always a woman, and I love power.
"Hmm...Miss Steele...May Mr. Grey come in?" Amanda asked, interrupting me from my thoughts, maybe I have to find a new receptionist, she's getting me tired sometimes.
"Yes" I answer being in my CEO mode, I look at Amanda and her look betrays her, how much she wants to hide it but I can see I intimidate her, it pleases me very much.
I shift in my big black leather seat, so I am staying comfortable, across my huge desk, all my office describes me very well : power, control, wealthy.
After a minute a tall man dressed in a grey suit, enters in my office, and God, I have the urge to shift again in my seat, the view is extraordinary, he is handsome, with cooper hair, and his grey eyes seem to look deep in my soul. Instantly I get nervous, I act not like me, what the heck happens?
"Good morning, Miss Steele, I am Mr. Grey" he says moving towards my desk then he puts his hand in front of me for a hand shaking. I swallow hard, and I can't help but observe his beautiful long fingers. I look in his eyes and for a second I am lost. He takes back his hand seeing I have no intention for a hand shaking.
"Good morning, Mr. Grey, take a seat" I say with power and control in my voice, and he sits. I am pleased, he obeys.
"Do you have a resumé?"
"Yes, it's here" he answers and gives it to me, when I took it my fingers brush his, and I feel a jolt of electricity, never happened to me before. I widen my eyes, and for the first time in a long time I feel vulnerable. I want him to get out of my office now, but at the same time I want him to stay more. I skim through his resumé, his name is Christian, hmmm sound good Christian Grey, he has 28 years, 3 years older than me, well let's say he is a man not a guy from college and he has worked in some companies not for a long time, that's very bad.
I raise my eyes from the papers and look at him
"Why you never had a stable job?"
He taps his feet , ha! He's nervous, I catch him! Knowing I have this power over him, makes me feel better.
His mouth opens to say something and then closes. My eyes all of a sudden see his beautifully sculptured lips, his lips have to be soft, I am breathless and I understand something is wrong with me, why do I think how must be his lips?
"It's because of the money, the earnings weren't enough to assure my life with what I need" he says in a low voice.
It's interesting what he means? What he needs?
"Why do you think this job can assure your needs?"
"I read about your company, and it seems to be one of the best in Detroit" Good answer!
He looks right in my eyes, and I feel the strange warm in my body, I want to order 'don't look at me!' , but I can't, he'll know he has some kind of effect on me and I can't give him this opportunity.
I turn back my eyes at the resumé, but it's too much for me, I am nervous and mad, who the fuck is this Christian Grey, to make this to me? I feel vulnerable! That's it, I have to stop the interview! Knowing I will not see him again, calms me.
"Okay, Mr. Grey, the interview went well, wait for a call and have a nice day" I say being professional, I know well how to get rid of people while they think they have a chance
He stands up, and gives me his business card, and his happy voice cuts the silence.
"Thank you so much, this is my number Miss Steele" and that happy, beautiful face touched my heart. What is he doing to me? Get out! I screamed in my mind! I want him out!
I press one button on the phone that is sitting on my desk
" Amanda, the interview is over, and I want a cup of coffee, please " I say in a bitchy tone. I need coffee, a lot of it, or my nerves will give up.
"Until the next time, Miss Steele" he says
I don't think it will be a next time, I always protect me from men like him, but he is really one strong man, I have to run from him, I can't feel vulnerable again.
"Good bye, Mr. Grey"
I drink my coffee, and try to put my thoughts in their place in my head. I am not kind of woman who desire a big family, all my life my goal was to achieve power and money. And beside the past filled with ugly memories I had, I could achieve money and power, and I am not going back to that memories, I am not going to be vulnerable again.
This Mr. Grey certainly has something in him, he hunted my attention, he's gone 2 hours ago, but I am still afraid of him, still thinking of him, still feeling him in my office. My eyes catch the little business card on my desk, I took it in my hands and look attentively at it, has his number on it, he hopes I'll call him, poor man, it will never happen!
Okay enough! I scream in my mind, I act like a highschool teenager. I have to chill out, and it's only a place that helps me! The house I bought last year in the woods, nobody is there, so I can feel free, nobody will disturb me. I dig for the car keys in my purse, and when I find them, I stand up from my seat and ready to get out from my office. But it's not so easy, Amanda appears in my doorway with a lot of paperwork
"Miss Steele, this paperwork needs your approval"
"Don't you see I am busy, get rid of this paperwork!" I yell
"But this is very important paperwork-" I cut her off " okay, give it to me" I put my purse back and sit in my seat.
After I finish with papers, I glance again the card Grey gave to me, I took it and put in my pocket, I don't know why. I took the keys that are lying on my desk and the paperwork.
Amanda, here is everything done, I am going out of town for some days, please don't call me without any real problem" I don't want to be disturbed not only if there is really something important.
"Okay, Miss Steele, have a nice trip" she says with a warm voice.
I go to the elevator and shout at her "it's not a trip!" I am going to fire her one day!
I go to my red Porsche 911, yes, I love cars, especially the fancy ones. I open the door and settle myself behind the wheel in a cream leather seat, and when I am ready to put the engine to life, I realize I forgot my purse in my office, damned Amanda with her paperwork! I am not reverting back! But in the purse is my phone, wallet, drive license.. It doesn't matter anymore. I put the engine to life and my foot press gas the car starts to move. I don't have a care in the world, I just drive my expensive red Porsche.
I am driving to the house in the woods, and it's a long drive, but I really need to go, or I will break apart in Detroit, where is a lot of cars, people, money, I just need to rest from this and from Christian Grey. All of a sudden my car stops from moving, Fuck! I have no clue why, and my knowledge in repairing cars is zero, but it's not a problem a quick call and everything will be alright! I automatically bent to the passenger seat to bring my purse when I remember I don't have it here! Fuck! Fuck! I am in the middle of the street, here is nothing, but the landscapes with strange trees. The view is creepy when you know you're the only one here or maybe not... I am agitated, and I don't know what to do. I exit the car, maybe someone will help. Nobody! Why nobody drives here?
After a while I see an old, silver van is approaching, I get out of my car.
The van stopped, there is a man in his fifties with more gray hair than black, and he has some scars on his face, and his hand is all in odd tattoos, I pray 'please God, I don't want to die'
"What happened, dear?" I want to shout at him I am not his dear, but I stop this urge.
"Something happened to my car, I need help"
"There is my phone, call the car service and someone to come here and get you, or I can give you a ride, where you need to go?" Car service, when all my documents are in the purse? He is creepy and I don't want to get in his van, I will never let my car here, it's a Porsche!
I took the phone, and who can I call? I don't have any numbers. And then my hand goes into my pocket, and my fingers touch the little card Grey gave to me. Can he help me? Should I call him? I quickly stop myself, Nothing in the world will make me call that man!
