frowned, feeling confused as hell. “An interview? In here?” | asked as | glanced around the entire room again and
he nodded, then he snorted at my facial expression.
“Don’t look that way, cause to work with me, you'll have to be around stuff like this a whole lot.” He waved
around the room as he spoke, but | still had a frown on as my eyes settled on the girls now sensually spinning
around the pole. A bitter taste settled on my tongue before | tore my eyes off them.
“Do we have to do the interview with them here?” | demanded and he hummed before returning back to his seat
and motioningover.
“Yes, we do. Now, you may take a seat.” He nodded at the seat in front of his. I still felt uncomfortable, but |
walked deeper into the room and took the offered seat. My eyes instantly settled on his exposed chest almost
immediately and | felt my throat go dry at once. He was really so hot that it was truly unfair.
“So, Miss Addison...” he began but I cut him off.
“What's with the formalities? It's weird.”
He leveled na with a stern look this tthat hadshuddering a little before he spoke. “It’s because this is an
interview. Interviews are formal.”
| didn’t bother pointing out to him that interviews certainly don’t get held at night tin a damned strip club,
nor did | bother to ask what position he was gonna interviewover cause | assumed I'd find out the position in
the middle of the
interview.
“So... tellabout yourself, Miss Addison.” He began as he poured himself a drink and sipped on it slowly. Just
as | began to speak, he snapped his fingers and the strippers got off the pole and were crawling around him in
the next minute, the sight throwingoff and makingforget what | was about to say.
“I'm listening.” He remindedas one of the girls climbed into his thighs to grind over him in tune with the low
music playing in the background. | let out a

long breath, forcing myself to ignore the annoying sight before me. It was none of my business if he had five
strippers over him at the stime, right in front of me. | have a boyfriend, and we aren't sleeping together any
longer.
Despite those words dancing through my mind, just staring at the girls dance and grind over zabs was making
claimed they were ugly. Why was | so angry right now?
“I'm Addison, aged twenty five, and I like to...” | trailed off when Zane smacked one of the girls over her ass, and
she mewled softly in response. My eyes settled on Zane’s face, his eyes weren't close, he was actually staring at
me, and | felt a flush go throughbefore | averted my gaze and cleared my throat.
“You may continue.” He breathed out as he tugged one of the strippers closer and | felt my eyes twitch with
anger while my jaw clenched. Why was he doing this right now? Was it to makejealous? Cause | was certain
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat what | was feeling withinright now was jealousy. And that was just ridiculous cause Zane and | are still
technically strangers, so why the heck am | feeling jealous? Last night, | told him my mind and he left. So what
was my problem right now?
The thought of Zane doing this right now to makejealous was also absurd tocause he wasn’t one to ever
care enough to that point. He hasn't even seen all that bothered when | hadn't let last night and in us fucking,
neither did he try to really change my mind, and that’s clearly cause he had other girls who could even satisfy
his needs better compared to me. So why would he waste his ttrying to makefeel jealous?
“I have a bunch of hobbies, and that are...” | was still speaking when one of the girls almost fell off the couch but
he easily caught her and pulled her back off, and that made my heart twist bitterly in my chest.
Jealousy was starkly running through my insides right now, and I hated it. | hated it cause | was in no place to
feel jealous or territorial over him, not when | was literally in a relationship with someone else right now. Not just
a random person, but his own brother!
God. What is wrong with me?
Finally having enough, I got up on my feet and announced in a flat voice. “I'm

leaving.”
Zane regardedfor a moment, then he arched a brow. “Why?”

| pursed my lips. No way would | ever admit to him that | was jealous of the strippers over him right now.
“This isn’t an interview, it feels like a waste of tand all this isn’t just distracting, it’s annoying as well.” |
waved at the girls at the end of my sentence and Zane rolled his eyes, but he thankfully dismissed the girls at
that point. But | really wasn't interested in this interview anymore, | wasn’t sure of what | had expected when |
dressed him to chere this evening, but this was clearly a mistake.
“I'm still leaving though. | appreciate this gesture, | do, but...” | was still speaking when he cutoff.
“This job is definitely gonna pay you more way more than you earned in a year at your old job,” he announced
and | froze up, then | exhaled slowly and sat back down.
He didn’t gloat like I half expected, he just leaned forward in his seat as he continued. “If you accept to work for
me, you'll work as my assistant.”
My eyes widened in surprise because that was t what | had expected to hear.
“For your newly inherited company?” | asked slowly and he snorted before slowly shaking his head.
“No, not that. You'll work as my personal assistant, and accompanywherever | go, once it’s work related of
course,”
“Oh.” | mumbled, surprise engulfing me.
“And I'm usually around a lot of strippers in my line of work. You know | race, so that can’t really be avoided.
Hence why | wanted to have that interview here with the girls, cause | wanted to see how you worked under
pressure.” He explained and my eyes widened in surprise again.
“Oh,” | mumbled while instantly freely ridiculous for getting jealous and angry when it was nothing but a test this
whole time.

“I had no idea.” | muttered and his lips twitched.

“Of course.” He drawled before adding. “You kept glaring at them, like you had an issue with them. It was almost
like you were jealous of them.” He continued and my mouth fell open as | spluttered while my face flamed up.
“What? Jealous? Of course not!” | cried out but he only hummed, not sounding like he believedand that
irritated me.
“You're delusional if you believe I'd ever get jealous over you. We aren’t dating or anything, you're free to do
whatever you want.” | hurled at him just as he leaned back against the couch, man spreading in a way that
made my tongue feel heavy in my mouth.
He steered the topic towards payment, and the prices he kept calling kept shockingto the core. Did all his
past assistants earn this much? Cause this is outrightly insane, and | didn’t even know a thing about the kind of
assistant his work required...
Why was he even hiring me? It still made no sense to me.
“I still don’t know why you're hiringthough, especially in a job | don’t even know a thing about.” | pointed out
after a few minutes.
“The job is way easier than it sounds, so be rest assured. My managers are in charge of the real deals.” He
assuredbut that still didn’t calmdown fully.
“Last night in my apartment, you said he were givinga job because you wanted to fuckagain.” | began
slowly while still holding his gaze. “Is that still why you're givingthis job? Cause I- | still meant what | said
yesterday. | love Marco and I'm not gonna cheat on him. So, if that’s why you're givingthis outrageous
salary, | guess it’s best | step back now.”
My cheeks were hot once | finished but | refused to avert my gaze, watching as he hummed after sipping on his
drink, then he spoke,
“I assured you last night that | respected your decision because you asked, and | still do. | didn’t even think
about that after last night. It’s now in our past, yes? So, no, that’s not the reason for your high salary. All my
assistants gets that much payment.”

A stab of pain went throughat his revelation that he didn’t think about that after last night. So he never truly
desiredand had already fucked another girl last night? That fast?
| felt hurt, but | schooled my expression and continued in a calm voice. “Why did your last assistant leave then?”
He scoffed before responding. “I fired her.”
My eyes widened as my heartbeat accelerated. “You fired her for... for me?”
He arched a brow atbefore rolling his eyes. “Of course not. | fired her because she fell in love with me.”
My mouth fell open as I blinked at him in utter shock. That was the last thing | expected him to say.
“The fuck?” | finally breathed out through a laugh of disbelief, but it seemed like he was being very serious
because he only scowled at his drink as he nodded.
“Yeah, it was messy and just... never again. | always include a clause in the contract, my assistants mustn't
catch feelings for me.” He revealed and | grew more surprised, while resisting the urge to laugh again, cause...
How were those girls falling in love with someone who's clearly a playboy?
“Never knew girls fall in love with you this easily. They must love getting their heart broken.” | snorted and this
time, he rolled his eyes.
“I'm a very lovable person, that’s why.”
| patted my chest as | spoke. “Well, you'd never have to worry about that when | becyour assistant. I'm
already in love with someone else after all.”
He was silent as he regarded me, then his jaw clenched for a moment before he nodded. “You're right.”
| got to my feet and sighed. “I'm still not fully sure of this job though. | have to go
think first.”
He stood up as well, pocketing his hands. “Cool, you have till tomorrow to respond, else the job goes to someone
else.”

| pursed my lips then nodded anyway, then my eyes took in the entire room again.
“Are you returning hwith one of those girls? Or all of them?”
He grinned atthis time. “What's it to you?”
| flushed red as | scoffed. “Nothing, | was just curious.”
| marched towards the door. “Goodnight.” | called over my shoulder.
“Sweet dreams. Hopefully your boyfriend fucks you well tonight.”
| felt flustered all the way home.
