CHAPTER THREE
I opened my eyes reluctantly as the alarm beeped letting me know it was time to get up. I was having the best dream ever. I was wrapped up in Edward's strong long arms. He was telling me how beautiful I was while he thrusted in and out of me. Edward dreams are definitely heavenly.
After panting for a few moments from my sex induced state, I got off the bed and walked to the bathroom. I quickly showered and changed into a black pair of dress slacks and a light purple button down. I cooked my usual eggs and fruit eating quickly, not wanting to miss the 8:15 bus for downtown.
I grabbed my umbrella and purse and headed out the door. Last night before I went to bed I put my flash drive with my resume in my purse so I wouldn't forget it in the morning. However once I stepped outside the house there was a town car waiting in front of my apartment.
Since it was a two family home, I knew who my neighbor was and she had her own vehicle so seeing the car outside with a driver standing next to it, threw me for a loop. When I made it to the bottom of the steps I smiled briefly at the man and began to walk down the street.
"Are you Isabella Swan?" The middle aged man asked
I quickly turned to look at him. "Yes?" I said hesitantly
"I am here to pick you up for work." He gave me a genuine smile
I looked at him like he was nuts, but his smile never faltered.
"I didn't call for a ride."
"Mr. Cullen sent me." Then he proceeded to open the back door for me.
I must have been gaping at him because he chuckled. I can't believe him, he sent a car to pick me up, but how did he know what time I would leave this morning? It was just something I would have to ask when I got to work.
The gesture seemed nice, I wonder if he did this for a lot of his employees. I walked slowly over to the car and slid into the back. The leather was smooth beneath my legs. The man closed the door and got into the driver's seat.
"My name is Stephan by the way. Do you need me to stop anywhere before we make it to the office?" He smiled at me from the rear view mirror
"No I'm good." I gave a weak smile.
He nodded in response and we drove downtown to Cullen Industries. The ride was quite for the most part. Stephan didn't say much, but I thanked him for the ride and he brushed me off with a choral grin.
It was 8:45am when I arrived at the office and I realized I still had a whole hour before seeing Edward today. I was nervous to say the least, but beaming at the thought. I couldn't wait to tell Bree about my encounter with him yesterday.
I had called Rose when I finished up dinner and explained the whole thing to her, she was bursting at the seams.
"So what is it like to meet the most eligible bachelor in all of Seattle?" The smirk clear in her voice
"Rose he is so gorgeous. I mean the girls told me about him at lunch, but to see him in person, he is remarkable to say the least. A pure fucking god. I almost fainted." I gushed into the receiver.
"Well be careful. Don't mix business and pleasure. It will not end well for you. He is a very powerful man." Rose chastised me.
"Oh Rose, please, it was just a ride, he was feeling sorry for me. I doubt he will even pay another minute of attention to me." I shook feeling hurt by my own words.
"The man knew you 10 minutes and is all ready to promote you, that's not nothing Bella, just promise me you will be careful." She pleaded
"I will be fine Rose and I promise, I am going to bed, talk to you tomorrow." Then I hung up
I stood in the mail room after putting my purse in the cubbyhole they provided me for my things. It was now 9:00am, time to do some sorting. Bree walked in a few minutes later shaking the water off her head.
"Its really pouring out there today." She shrugged off her raincoat and hung it up.
"It's raining? It was fine when I got here." I replied
"Well you know Seattle, sunny one minute, raining the next." She smiled big at me
"Actually, I have only lived here a couple weeks, so I don't." I chuckled lightly
"I forgot, well that's how the weather is here, but are we really going to talk about the weather or about the fact you were in Edward Cullen's Lamborghini yesterday?" She gave me a smirk
"How did you know about that?" I looked at her with my mouth hanging open
"My boyfriend Seth is the security guard in the garage, I was waiting for him to change shifts and I saw you leave with Edward." She giggled.
I could feel my face growing red and I immediately felt embarrassed.
"Oh Bella don't look at me like that, its just shocking. So how did you do it?" She looked at with big wide eyes
"Do what?" I looked at her confused
"Get in good with the boss so fast?" She rolled her eyes
"My car wouldn't start and he offered to drive me home." I shrugged
"Please tell me you are not one of those girls who will sleep her way to the top?" She gave me this almost hurt look
"What? Bree , how could you think such a thing? Of course not!" I stomped my foot on the floor
"Relax Bella, I wasn't meaning you were, I am sorry, its just, I know girls like that and I would hate for it to ruin your career, you are so bright." She reached out for my hand and gave it a squeeze.
"I'm not one of those girls at all, but he wants to meet with me at 10am in his office to discuss my resume. He thinks I don't belong in the mail room." I bit down on my lip waiting for her response.
"Wow, I mean wow. I don't know what to say." She was speechless
"I don't either, but it can't hurt right? I mean you are still in college yourself, so its not like this position is permanent for you either." I shrug
"I guess you're right." Her reply unconvincing
Bree gave me a small smile and began helping me sort. It was about 9:45 and most of the mail had been separated and I excused myself to make it to the appointment on time. There was no way I would be late to see Edward, regardless if he was the boss, he was god and I needed my fix.
I got onto the elevator and made my way to the 50th floor and when the doors opened my mouth dropped. I hadn't been on this floor yet. Bree told me she was the only one allowed to deliver the mail there, so I was responsible for the other 3 floors. The space around me was so wide open and bright white. There were tall windows with lots of light surrounding the entire floor.
I noticed the glass desk in the middle and then saw Jessica sitting behind it on the phone. She had her blond hair down today and she had on a black belted skirt with a tight fitted button up turquoise top. Definitely trying to show off her assets for sure.
Clearly the big black doors infront of me were to Edward's office because his name was written in large letters on the front of them.
Jessica ends her call abruptly when she notices my arrival infront of her.
"Oh my god Bella, what are you doing up here? You know you are not allowed on this floor without an appointment." Her fake concern showing.
"I actually have an appointment with Mr. Cullen at 10am." I gave her a small nod of the head
"Really with which Cullen?" She gave me this look of pure confusion
"Edward Cullen." I said like it should be obvious
"Well he didn't mention it to me and I am the one who plans his day from the time he wakes up until he goes to bed." She gave me a cut smile
I just looked at her for a minute. Was I supposed to be jealous or impressed by this knowledge? I tried to disregard the feelings bubbling in my stomach.
"Well he told me to come up at 10am today after I spoke with him last night" I gave her a smart smirk
The look of shock and surprise that went across her face was priceless, but way too brief. She composed herself quickly and pushed a button on her phone.
"Well just let me tell him your here." She gave me the fakest smile
"Just have a seat over there." She pointed to some couches with her finger and I walked over to have a seat.
Has if I couldn't hear her now whiny voice on the phone, I listened while she told Edward someone was here to see him, but if he was too busy she would send them away. I just rolled my eyes and pulled some lose string on my pants.
" Yes it's Bella, from the mail room." Her voice straining at my name
I then heard his office door open and out he came. He was wearing a gray suit with a baby blue tie and black shiny shoes. Most likely designer and custom to fit because it fit well. That suit molded around his body and I just stared in awe. He must have a beautiful body under all those clothes.
His copper hair was combed back neatly on his head and I could just imagine how it would feel around my finger tips. His green eyes penetrating me from where he stood looking so confident and sexy. He cleared his throat and I ripped my longing gaze from my fantasy to see him smirking smugly.
I stood up,straightening out my shirt and pants and approached him slowly. He gave me the most amazing smile and I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks.
"Good morning Isabella, how are you?" His smile melting every inch of me
"I'm good Mr. Cullen and yourself?" I tried to give him my best smile
He shook his head chuckling.
"What did I tell you yesterday?" He gave me a dark look
Had to think for a minute to what he was referring to and then it came to me. His name!
"How are you, Edward" I blushed
"I'm wonderful Bella." His smirk was to die for
"Shall we go in my office?" He smiled gesturing to his office door
I shook my head and walked to the open door. Before I entered he turned to Jessica.
"Hold all my calls and cancel my lunch meeting, this may take a while." He gave his authority in a way it made me wish it was me he was ordering around.
Jessica's face turned in a frustrated expression, but she smiled brightly at Edward. He chuckled quietly to himself and pushed gently at the small of my back into his office. That jolting feeling going to my stomach. And it was only his hand!
"You can have a seat." He motioned with his hand to the small leather chair in front of his desk.
I watched him stroll over to his chair and he sat back. He looked like a man of power. He held the grace of a important business man, someone not to mess with. He must be incredible in a board meeting.
His office was massive. It was trimmed in a dark color, yet it made the room scream power. He had a large mahogany desk with a large leather office chair behind it. Two smaller leather chairs in front of it. Definitely a state of the art computer on his desk.
Oh his desk was so neat. Papers were in a metal bin and he had some picture frames lining it, but they were facing his direction, so I couldn't see what they were. Probably pictures of his beautiful girlfriend. He had a black leather couch off to one side and you could see two doors, maybe to a closet or a bathroom. I would have to ask.
"Um thank you for the car this morning, that wasn't really necessary." I smiled timid at me
He waved me off like it didn't even faze him.
"Where did you have my car towed?" I asked feeling slightly intimidated.
"The closest junk yard." He said with a straight face
"Excuse me?" My eye probably bugging out of my head
"Its a joke, but it could be arranged." A slight smirk ghosting across his lips
"Edward that's not funny, I don't have money to just go out and get a new one." I blurted out
"I'm sorry Bella, I didn't mean to offend your transportation." He gave me a smile
"I am having a mechanic look at it as we speak. He will let me know the damage and we will negotiate from there." Oh he sounded so sexy
"How much do you think it will cost? I need to make sure I have enough. Would he accept payments?" I could feel myself getting panicked.
I didn't have that much money since anything I did have saved up I used moving here to be with Rose. I could feel my emotions getting the better of me, but I rained them in because I didn't want to seem weak in front of Edward.
"Don't worry about the car, okay? I will take care of it. Now on to more pressing matters, your resume." He seemed very serious
"How are you going to take care of it? I can't ask you to do that."
He gave me this look as to warn me to shut up.
"Bella you don't have to ask, I want to help you, now can we go on?" His eyebrow raised
I didn't want to piss him off already. I almost forget he was my boss and really shutting my mouth right now seemed like a smart move. It was odd though, talking to him and debating him, it felt so normal. Like we had done it for years.
I went to get the flash drive from my pocket when he began looking at his computer screen.
"Ah the university of Phoenix. That is a a descent school." He muttered to himself
I felt like a five year old child who's parents were teaching them manners, it was horrifying to say the least. I watched his eyes flicker reading the words on the screen. Whatever he was thinking, his face never gave it away.
Finally he looked up at me and I was gnawing away at my bottom lip and he looked at me with a weird expression. He shook his head and went back to reading the computer screen. He leaned back after a few moments and put his hands behind his head.
"Well you weren't lying about having no experience, but I would like to think I have a position you are more than qualified for." His eyes sparkled
I looked at him waiting for him to continue and he removed his hands from his head and leaned forward. It took everything in me not to jump across his desk and jump him.
"How fluent are you in German?" He leaned in more, palming his desk
" Na ja, ich habe es ungefähr sechs Jahre lang studiert, also sagen sie es mir?"I smirked at him
" Wir werden etwas an diesem schlauen Mund ändern müssen, nicht wahr?" He gave me this smoldering look.
I gasped when Irealized what he said, well fuck me!God he even spoke German sexy. I needed to definitely shut up or I would be out of a job rather than getting promoted to one.
My reaction made him sit back and smirk. I wanted to slap him.
"Well your German seems to be fluent enough, how would you like to be my translator on my next project? He looked me with with a devious glint and I swallowed hard.
"I would very much enjoy it." That's not the only thing I would enjoy. Geez Bella get a grip girl
"Perfect." He clapped his hands together making me jump slightly, but he barely even noticed.
"I will have Jessica set you up with some office space and we will go over the finer print of what I expect from you." He leaned back rubbing his chin
"Do you have any questions for me?" He angled his eyes, which almost look like he was staring at my chest.
"When do I start?" I was lost in his face. He was so beautiful
He smirked and then stood from his chair.
"How about right now? I have a business meeting this afternoon with some potential clients. How many languages can you speak Isabella?" All I heard was the way my name rolled off his tongue.
Lord his mouth was marvelous. His lips were so full and I bet soft. I imagined him placing said lips all over my body. Chills ran down my spine.
"I can speak Spanish too." I breathed out
"Are you warm?" His eye brow poking up
"No..Why?" I asked nervously
"Because your cheeks are flushed and your sweating." He smirked again
I put my hand to my forehead and felt the wetness that had built up. I definitely needed a cold shower after this day was through.
"I think you just make me a bit nervous." I said jokingly
"Has I should." He winked at me before continuing on
"Well then if you are feeling alright, shall we go and find you an office?" He stood from across his desk.
"I get my own office?" The surprise clear in my voice.
He chuckled and I relished in the sound. His voice was so smooth like velvet and his laughter was like a child's. It was completely dreamy.
"Of course, if you are going to be my translator I will need you to go over a lot of things and you will need a space for that. Now shall we go?" He moved from behind his desk and I stood from the chair, walking toward the door.
Suddenly I could feel him behind me and he was close, very close. I felt his breathe by my ear.
"You will love it here, I have no doubt in my mind." His sexy voice sang into my ears.
Again I shivered thinking of hearing that voice shuddering my name.
"You are very responsive, I like that." He spoke closely this time and then was gone.
I had my eyes closed the whole time and didn't realize he was holding the door open for me until I heard Jessica's voice. How did I not notice how irritating she was yesterday at lunch? I walked with confidence out of the office and again he touched the small of my back.
He pushed me to Jessica's desk and began barking out orders to her.
"I need you to find an empty office for Isabella and make sure that she has everything she needs. I want a phone and a computer in there stat and make sure she as access to all my phone numbers. I would also like you to call the rental agency and have them send a car for her while her car is being repaired. If you have any questions, you know how to reach me." Damn he was so sexy when he was being bossy
"Which floor would you like me to put her on?" Jessica weening innocence, but I knew better.
"What floor do you think Jessica?" However he wasn't really asking for answer
"This one?" Her voice full of confusion
"Very good Jessica. Bella will be working directly for me, so I want her as close as possible." His tone firm
" That was quick." Jessica mumbled.
"Is there a problem Jessica?" Edward asked in a stern voice
"No sir." Her face straightening
"Very good, now if you will excuse us. Bella I would like to introduce you to some people." With that I followed behind him
I turned my head quickly to catch Jessica giving me the death glare. All I could do was smile. We walked down about three doors until we came to another office door that was black like Edward's. The sign outside the door said Emmett Cullen.
I assumed this would be Edward's relative of some sort. Edward didn't even bother knocking and held the door for me to walk in. This office was nothing like Edward's at all.
This room was bright white with a tan leather couch and a small basketball hoop in the corner. It screamed sports everywhere, but in a professional manner. There was a big metal glass looking desk in the center, which was very modern. Behind the desk sat a big guy who appeared to be young like Edward, but he was much bigger built.
"Bella I would like to introduce you to my brother Emmett. He is our CFO. He may not look too bright, but believe there is brain under all that brawn" Edward Chuckled
"Hey I take offense to that! Edward is just jealous because I got all the good looks and he got what was left over." Emmett smiled widely at me standing up from behind his desk and strolling over to where we were standing.
He was very good looking. Dark black hair with beautiful blue eyes. His smile was toothy and his dimples were deep. His body was muscular. You could see how his suit shirt clung to his body. Yes he was a hottie, but he was no Edward.
"I don't mind what was left over." I said under my breath
"What was that Bella?" Edward asked
"Oh nothing, just nice to meet you Emmett." I smiled trying to distract my stupidity
"Welcome to Cullen Industries Bella, glad to have you aboard!" He gave me a huge grin
"Bella will be assisting me in some foreign affairs of such." Edward smiled at me
"Yeah, I bet." Chuckled Emmett.
Edward gave him a look of warning before facing me again.
"Well now that you have met, you can always ask Emmett any question you need to if I am not around. He will be more than happy to help you." His smile growing and growing.
I wonder what other parts of him looked like when they grew. Mind out of the gutter Swan!
"Well thank you, it was nice meeting you Emmett." I waved at him while Edward basically pushed me out of the room.
"He can be a bit much at times, but I promise he is harmless." Edward whispered into my ear making me trip.
He grabbed me to steady me and I brushed into his chest. Yeah he works out.
"Are you alright?" His voice seemingly concerned
"Yes I am a bit clumsy at times." I tried to gain my balance.
"I could help you with that." Another double meaning I couldn't figure out.
"I'm sure you could." I smiled up at him
A devious sparkle in his eyes, oh yea working for him would definitely be hard...
