just purchased for a shipping company I own in Sudan.
Then there i s one from Amanda informing me of the death of her mother suddenly and that she will be absent for the next few days as they make arrangements.
That i mmediately sends my mind to Adonia and her briefing for her first day of work.
I have already gotten odd questions and looks from my close staff because I don’t do intern interviews and I most certainly don’t work closely with them. They are staffed in the HR floor on the bottom level.
But with Adonia I want her around me. I arranged for her position to have direct communication with me throughout the day. My strange new obsession has apparently garnered much attention.
I stow my phone back in my pocket and try to drown out the incessant pleas from the two overly sexual women still behind me.
Finally the doors open on my floor and I step out to find Adonia sitting stick straight in the lobby chairs. I smile because she is exuding nervous energy and her thoughts are nothing but incoherent garble.
She st ands and smiles at me as I approach. “Good morning Mr. Garai.” Her voice is small and tentative. I make her nervous yet excited. The combination is intoxicating coming from her. I find her so refreshing from the others that I surround myself with.
I begin to see how she i s making me see the world in a different light. Things feel different when she’s around, more vibrant and full of possibilities.
I smile back and co me to a stop just in front of her breathing in her delectable scent. She smells like sunshine and rainwater dripping from a fully bloomed rose after a storm. Again, she intoxicates me.
“Well it appears Amanda is indisposed for the next few days so I am afraid you’ll have to deal with me, Miss Kostas.” I say then grin at the look of utter loss on her face.
“Oh. Uh, well I’m sure you will be much too busy to deal with me , Mr. Garai. I could have HR appoint me to someone underneath you so I won’t be a bother to you, sir.” Her voice quivers as she speaks and I have another pang of remorse. I just want to tuck her under my wing and protect her from the vitriol of the world.
She i s vastly becoming an integral part of my existence and that thought unnerves me. I’ve always been alone and I prefer it that way. But she calls to some ancient part of me. She is so familiar and when she’s around I feel a little less anger and a little more hope.
“Oh, that won’t be necessary, Miss Kostas. Follow me.” I turn for my office and open the doors. She quietly falls into step behind me and I gesture for her to have a seat. She sits and looks at me expectantly and her innocent eyes burn.
I pick up the phone and call HR. “Yes, this is Garai, my PA is absent for the coming days and I will need a replacement ASAP.”
Greta sputters . “Uh…uh yes, sir Mr. Garai. I’ll have someone up there immediately.”
“Also, I have a new employee star ting today and I will need the welcome packet along with any necessary paperwork brought directly to my office.”
“Yes sir, would you like for me to personally do the introduction and complete the packet sir?”
“No. That won’t be necessary. Thank you.”
I place the phone back on the desk. “See how easy that was?” I smile.
I feel the shift in her body weight in the chair as her breathing increases and her heart rate spikes.
I lean closer and smile . “I’d say this will most likely be an adventurous first day, Miss Kostas.” I muse.
She blushes furiously but it doesn’t have the normal effect on me, which would be a raging burn in my throat and tense muscles ready to coil. Instead it is oddly comforting and soothing.
“You can call me, Adonia if you prefer, Mr. Garai.” Her voice barely audible.
“Is t hat what you would prefer, Adonia?” I like how her name sounds in my voice. It feels like a possession, like she’s mine.
She nods . “Yes, sir, if you don’t mind.”
“Well then, Adonia it is. I
