Swept Away (5 page)

His face was almost touching mine when he
whispered to me. “I
am
unsatisfied,
Isabeau
. I want you to be my new assistant. Will you do
that for me? Will you be at my beck and call?”

My breath left me as his words sunk in. When I
finally regained it, I felt like I was trembling from head to toe.
His beck and call.

“
Wh
-what about your old
assistant?”

Mr. Drake leaned back again and took my chin in
his hand, forcing my eyes to his. “What about her? I want
you
.”

His touch on my skin was electric.
 
Are
we still talking about business?

“Yes, Mr. Drake.”

His thumb stroked my cheek for the briefest of
moments, and then he released me, breathless, and wondering what I’d just
agreed to.

“Very good,
Isabeau
.
I’ll expect you here at 8 a.m. tomorrow, in my office, ready to work. Don’t be
late.”

He turned away, effectively dismissing me. I
hopped down off the desk and quickly made for the door. I didn’t want to give
him time to change his mind.

“And
Isabeau
?”

I turned back, my hand on the knob. “Yes, Mr.
Drake?”

“I don’t tolerate sloppy work. Disappoint me, and
there will be consequences.”

I blushed, and nodded, then closed the door behind
me.

What had I
gotten myself into?
