"You get your fill yet?" His voice startles me. It's a heavy rich timber. Cold but I can imagine how it would sound if he was happy or sensual.
He still hasn't looked up yet. I'm lost at what to say so I keep silent and just wait, and watch.
"The job is 40k entry level, benefits after 90 days. You will have an office on the fourth floor and a team of three interns. The files will be sent to you every Monday and Thursday. Reports are due on the Friday meeting." All of this as his face is still trained on the paper in front of him, never looking at me while he speaks.
All I can do is watch him and not speak. This is all to easy to weird, given our history, if he remembers who I even am.
"I remember, I know who you are." not sure if I spoke out loud or he read my mind.
"Then why?"
"This isn't about your past, or even our past. I am a business man. I grew this company from nothing by being smart not sentimental. You have a photographic memory and had top honors in school. You were on the path to great things before and I am smart enough to see that. So what's 90 days. Either you fuck it up and I fire you or your skills make me richer. Simple as that."
I just nod my head and stand up to leave.
"Jules will give you all the information and paperwork you need." my hand is on the knob to leave as he speaks again.
"Oh and Edward, I don't care about your past but I want the neck tattoo covered when you are working."
I look back at him. Steely blue gray. His eyes are a mix of the two colors. And they had been watching.
