But I also got the sense that Eleanor wasn’t very sexually experienced.

As her boss, I knew I shouldn’t be interested about whether she’d ever orgasmed herself, but it was rare that I came across someone so green.

Especially a woman in her twenties.

By the time I was her age, I’d tried a million different things. Threesomes, orgies, sex clubs. And I’d lost count of the women I’d fucked (safely, of course). So how had Eleanor never even used a sex toy before?

I wanted to know more about her.

Where was she from?

What led her to Sated?

If she was going to be working here, I really should know the answers to these professional questions at least.

I picked up my phone.

‘Get HR to send over Eleanor’s CV,’ I instructed Valerie. ‘She’ll be working on a project for me over the next two weeks.’

‘Yes, boss,’ Valerie replied. ‘By the way, Cheryl said she did a good job in the press office. HR asked if she could help them out for the rest of the month.’

‘No,’ I barked. ‘She’ll be reporting directly to me.’

I didn’t share.

Eleanor’s attention needed to be solely on this project and nothing else.

‘I see,’ Valerie replied. ‘Would you like her to be moved to another department?’

‘No.’

‘Understood.’

I ended the call.

For a fleeting moment, I’d considered suggesting she work here on the top floor where I could see her, but that went against protocol. This floor was reserved solely for me, Oscar and Seb. Heath preferred to stay on the finance floor.

The logical solution would be to move her down to publishing. But I spent a lot of time there and I didn’t need any distractions.

Not that I’d be distracted by someone like her.

Anyway, it didn’t matter.

I rarely went to the press office, so Eleanor would be fine to stay there.

For now.

ELLIE

Istretched my arms in the air.

It was now Wednesday evening and it’d been a long, but productive, day.

I still couldn’t believe that I got to stay at Sated for another fortnight.

Tonight I planned to celebrate with a cup of tea and a book.
