Chapter One – Evan
“I’m not negotiating with you,” I yell firmly down the phone. “I’ve given you my offer and that’s the end of it. I think you need to remember here that you need me way more than I need you.”
My heart thunders in my chest, boiling hot blood shoots around my body at a million miles an hour. I twirl the phone chord around my finger in a way that probably appears anxious... but anxiety isn’t how I’m feeling at all. It’s anticipation, adrenaline, excitement. I love it when a deal comes together, especially when it’s in my favor which this one definitely seems to be. I know how to get what I want and how to wrangle the best out of everyone. It’s what has made me so damn successful. Tech start-ups are never easy, but I’ve damn well done it and I’m proud of that. DeBroils Enterprises is successful because of me and me alone.
“Erm, yes, right, I see,” the weedy guy on the other end of the phone stammers like he’s crapping his pants purely because of my words. “I understand that, but my boss…”
“Are you not in a position to make any sort of decision?” I mock. “Do they not let you have that sort of power? I thought I was speaking to you for a reason. Please tell me I’m not wasting my time talking to you. I really wouldn’t want to hear anything like that.”
“No.” He sighs, I can hear the defeat in his tone. “Do you know what? Yes, that’s fine.”
I bang my hand down on my desk with glee. “Brilliant, thank you very much.”
Once I hang up the phone I cackle to myself. Maybe it isn’t the most ethical way to behave, railroading these weaker business owners, but to be honest they should know what they’re up against. I do have a reputation for putting myself and my company first, and I do know I’m not the worst. These people need to toughen the hell up. I sure don’t feel guilty. I had to learn the hard way too.
I have stakes, I need my company to succeed. Nothing else will ever matter.
“Knock. Knock.” The smile on my face only gets brighter when I hear the silky-smooth voice of my extremely well chosen personal assistant.
Ally, pops her head around the door. “Can I come in?”
I lean back in my chair and run my eyes all over her. Her heavily made up face excites me, because I know she does it just for me, especially those painted red lips, she knows I love them. They turn me on like crazy, no matter what.
“Yes, please do. You know my door is always open for you.”
I mean that as well. I hired Ally over many other more qualified candidates because of those stunning good looks of hers. That, and the fact that she instantly made it clear that she had the hots for me. I always like to have someone who’s up for it around me. Just in case. She’s good enough at what she does, I pretty much always know where I’m supposed to be and when. And the best thing I like about her are those sexy lips. When they are wrapped around me… well, there’s nothing better!
“I’ve just come to let you know that Mr. Wong has cancelled your conference call this afternoon, citing family issues, so you have the whole afternoon free now.” She perches on the edge of my desk and leans forward so her cleavage pops out the top of her shirt. Her blonde hair falls forward, but luckily for me it doesn’t get in the way of the incredible view. The only thing distracting me is that awesome slit in her skirt. “So, you can do whatever it is that you want.”
“Oh I can, can I?” I wiggle my eyebrows suggestively at her. “Hmmm what shall I do?”
Ally flips her hair and pushes her breasts out even further at me. “I have a few ideas…”
