Thread: Behind Closed Doors [ Bear & Sam ]

Daniel clenched his eyes a bit as he saw the soft smile curl up on her lips. He knew what he had done... and her evident smiled showed that she knew as well as he again silently cursed himself. Why must he think with his other head all the time. He had figured that by working with a lingerie company for over a decade, he'd have become desensitized to the idea and sight of breasts and female body parts, but alas he often left himself wondering if he was a thirty something year old married pervert. He didn't let the thought linger terribly long on his mind as he looked down at her and idly held the cup of coffee in his hand as he looked at his watch. He didn't know how Long she planned on being in here, but he figured he didn't have much work left to do for the day. As she commented on his admonition, he again silently cursed himself. She was twisting his words... even if she didn't say she meant to, it made it sound sexual, and that's not at all what he had meant. It was his second blunder in well under a matter of minutes as he was trying to making a positive and strong impression on his newest secretary as he sighed and stood, trying to regain his composure and position of power as he went back behind his desk and sat down in his chair, a tactic often used for attempting to close down important deals with big clients, but somehow, he knew that it wouldn't work with her. Something was definitely different about Shay... and he was going to find out someway. He coughed softly. I expect our relationship to be a mix between professionalism and work partners and laid back. I may rely on you to help me out with some people and clients down the road. He said as he let her continue. He listened to her aspirations and why she chose the job. They were for all the right reasons and damn was she good. He nodded quietly as he leaned forward in his seat to grab the coffee form the other edge of his desk as he thought for a moment. He had never taken on a personal assistant before. It had crossed his mind once or twice, but he had never followed through it because he had yet to find someone who thought the same way that he did on the way things were handled around the company. It was far too premature to think on that as she suggested it as he forced another small smile to his face, not letting the potential innuendo slip him by this time around as he chose not to respond directly to it. I see. So you're quite qualified for this position, yes...and you want to climb the ladder. If I'll be honest... you gave me all the right answers for a first impression. He admitted to her. As for a personal assistant position... lets not get too far ahead of ourselves. It's your first day on the job... but I will say this... I've been giving some consideration to the assistant position and if you play your cards right... you might be in consideration in the near future. We'll just have to see how well we mesh together between the two of us, okay? He told her with another soft yet engaging smile. Listeing to her interests and what she did outside of the workplace, he figured he wasn't getting an entirely truthful answer out of the younger girl. She was telling him what he wanted to hear, and he would allow that game to be played for the time being until the grace period wore off in the following days. Me? He asked, surprised she'd ask him as well. Hmm... Well I too enjoy some nice cheese and a glass on chardonnay in the evening time. I'm an avid outdoorsman who can't sit still. I love going on hikes and camping... and in my own spare time... I'm a bit of a personal aspiring photographer. A little bit of everything really. He shrugged absentmindedly as he continued to watch her face for any sort of tell. Oh... ummm... I'm supposed to give you this. He pulled a catalog out of his desk and handed it to her. As park of working here at Peach Lingerie, all female employees are entitled to a yearly allowance of 500 for buying Peach lingerie products. He cleared his throat, choosing not to mention she was already wearing such a product. Feel free to spend it however you want, but it's strictly for our merchandise... nothing else. He said as he passed the booklet along to her.
