Chapter 1

B Pov

"Mam, have a seat. Mr. Cullen will see you in a bit now."

I forced a smile at the receptionist and went to sit on a couch across the hall. The office was huge…. The walls of the office were off-white in color; the floor was carpeted in dark brown, and the desk behind which the receptionist sat was glossy black.

The receptionist who just asked me to sit was quite pretty and seemed nice enough. She was tall, with bright green eyes, and was slightly dark in complexion. She was wearing a dark green fitted shirt over skinny jeans. She had a badge on her shirt which said Gianna Primrose. Her name suited her well enough.

My stomach was in knots due to my nervousness… I felt as if I'll pass out in any minute now.

This is not the first job I have applied for and I have also lost count in how many companies I have applied. I have only faced embarrassment in all of the interviews I have been to, which were not much.

When I first applied for a job I was very excited, but now I am just simply annoyed. I am in terrible need of a job because well I just shifted from forks to New York and I have spent most of my money in buying the ticket of the plane, I have only some hundred dollars left now which I think will only pass me a month and that is going to be very painful.

But that is not what I am worried about, I can live without eating much, what really bothers me is how in the hell am I going to pay the rent of my flat! I don't exactly own any thing, except for a few pairs of clothes and shoes if they even count. I am living in a cheap studio flat, and I have to pay its rent after 15 days and if I don't get this job, I think the owner of my flat will kick me out and I wont even have money to go back to Forks, which I wont because I don't exactly have any one to go to for support.

My life is a living hell right now. I don't have any friends or relatives. And I don't expect my extended family to come and take me in their arms if they even exist.

There was Charlie with me and he was my every thing after my mom died because of cancer. That has been the worst page of life for me and Charlie. Most of the time mom used to feel guilty for how much pain she was inflicting on us. Yes, pain was true, but only emotionally not physically. But after my mom's death, Charlie went into depression and just lived and worked for the sake of life and partly me.

I wasn't any different myself but I held myself together in front of him because I knew that if I broke down, so will he. I wont blame for how he acted after all she was the love of his life. And he experienced much greater pain then I did.

The thing that depressed me the most is that I just didn't lose my mom, I lost a best friend too. I used to share those things with her that I can't with my dad. My dad used to own one-third of a software company but sold it for my mom's treatment and that is exactly what depressed my mom more.

After her death he worked in the town as a cop, while I was going to graduate from high school. But because of his poor health he got sick I had no idea what to do except for take him to the hospital. The rest half of the money went in his medication. I don't regret it; at least I had my father with me.

But eventually he became so sick that he also died two years ago. That was even more devastating as I realized I had lost my family the only people close to my heart. My love life really didn't exist nor it exists now and I have no plans to get romantically involved with any one any time soon.

After few months realization hit me that I have to move on. I simply can not sit in my house in forks and mourn for the death of my mom and dad.

So I left forks because I just couldn't live there. Many bad memories were in forks. I came to New York and I applied for every job I could. There wasn't a single job application in the newspaper I haven't already applied for. And the most depressing thing was I was getting rejected everywhere. Not that it isn't fair because, I am not highly qualified or anything, just graduated from Forks High School with good marks.

"Ms swan… Mr. Cullen would like to see you now."

Oh shit! Wish me luck!!!! I stood up from the couch and smoothed my shirt and skirt. "I hope for the best." Said Gianna and gave me a bright smile. And in my mental state I could only manage a small smile back, to not be rude after all she was wishing me luck. I started waking towards the door which the receptionist said was Mr. Cullen's office. I tripped which was so likely of me, but luckily got a grip of myself and didn't fall. I knocked on the door of the office which I believed was Mr. Cullen's office.

"come in." he said. I walked in and sucked in a sharp breath.

Fuck me!!!

This man is beautiful. I know it's totally weird to use the word beautiful for a man but I just couldn't help it. He must be in his late 30's.

"Uhum……. uhum……."

Shit!!! He caught me staring at him like a fucking hawk! I blushed a deep shade of crimson. I am sure my face would be nothing but the color of a fucking beet root. Of course how can I not make a fool of myself? I am used to it.

"Have a seat miss swan" he said politely. I smiled at him despite my nervousness and took a seat. "Thank you sir." I said

The office was impressive. It had an aura which said 'I come here to work, and so will you. So don't fuck around.' Mr. Cullen sat on a large chair which was a deep shade of brown, a big table sat in the middle in a deep mahogany color. In front of the table were two chairs of the same color as his, and I was occupying one of them. The walls were painted white and there were many certificates, I guess, hung on the wall. So like I said it was very impressive and business like. This meant I am going to hear the same lines and won't be getting a job in here either. The thought depressed me to hell.

"So I guess I should introduce myself. I am the owner of this company, Carlisle Cullen, and you must be Isabella swan?"

I nodded. "Hello sir." I said. I didn't have any idea what he would ask me next. I really hope he wouldn't ask me that WHAT MAKES YOU THINK WE WOULD GIVE YOU A JOB WHEN YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING BUT GRADUATED FROM A HIGH SCHOOL.

"I had a look on your file. Seeing your results you seem quite intelligent. Although you are not much qualified" (here it comes……..) "But I think you will be able to handle this job perfectly" OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't fucking believe this!!!! Is he actually offering me this job? No it must be my over active imagination. "But this job won't be easy as you will be Edward's secretary." OH HE HAS OFFERED ME JOB!! Oh my god I think I am going to burst out in tears. Yeah yeah I am emotional. But something he said that confused me .I frowned. He smiled at me and then explained. "Look Isabella…." "I am sorry to interrupt but its Bella sir." I said. It was now his turn to be confused. "I prefer people calling me Bella." I explained.

He smiled and continued "Bella my son is an ignorant, arrogant, cocky bastard. He is too proud of himself and his money." I nodded as it was normal. Rich people are arrogant. "He has a good heart if you get to know him." I rolled my eyes….sure.

"All his past secretaries ran away because once he fucked them and he treated them like dirt. So are you ready to take this risk?"

He than smirked, "you know my son is a womanizer and woman find him very hard to resist as he is very handsome…'

(Whatever) I'll do it. I have to it… I am in dept and I have to pay rent for my flat so I have to take the risk. Anyways I find it very easy to ignore people. I thought.

"Yes sir I'll do it. I am in a need of a job and I don't plan on fucking your son and I can resist it".

He smiled. "Well if you are sure but I don't want you leaving the job and saying that my son fucked you and then forgot so you want to leave this job."

"This will never happen, sir." I said confidently.

"Very well Bella. This job is not only in the office but in the house. You have to make Edward present in every meeting. You have to see that he works till the time is up which is 9 30." I nodded. "You have to make an appointment book for him. Your main target is that he should be punctual. His work should be his top priority. And about your salary… I have decided it'll be thousand dollars monthly." (WOW… AWESOME…) "You will join from Monday morning. Your job is to first go to our house and wake him up and be at the office at 7: 30 sharp with him. Edward doesn't like waking up early but you have to figure out how to do it. Do you have any questions? He asked politely." Yes of course. Are you insane? How will I do this?

But how can I say this. He is paying me more than enough money for this job.

"No sir! I will be here on Monday."

"Bye Bella. See you on Monday. Have a great weekend."

"You too sir, thank you! Bye."

"Bye Bella." Carlisle said. I closed the door and sighed in relief.

At least I am not unemployed now!
