I’ve got a job.

No. Not just a job.

A job with my dream company. A massive step toward my ultimate dream.

And I’ll be able to buy Wilder a whole closet full of those cleats and Hendrix as many VR headsets and gaming computers as his heart desires.

Okay, that might be pushing it, but the pay increase I’m going to receive here is insane.

It’s…

Fuck.

My head is spinning by the time I hang up, and my face aches from how wide my smile is.

“As one door closes, another opens. You just have to be ready to embrace the challenges.”

Damn him for being right.

The fucking door just opened, and I am running through it at full speed before someone figures out that Rebecca just called the wrong candidate, and this is all a massive mistake.

I squeal in excitement and practically run through the apartment in the direction of my closet to try and figure out what the hell I’m going to wear on my first day.

With my eyes locked on the CCTV footage on the screen before me, I sit back in my seat with one leg resting over the other and wait.

And wait…

There are a hundred and one things that need my attention right now, but none of them interest me as much as what’s going to happen in the next few minutes.

She’ll be early. I know she will. Which means?—

“Bingo,” I breathe when a familiar figure moves toward the main entrance.

One of our doormen steps forward and pulls the door open for her, and my skin prickles the second she turns her attention on him.

What the fuck is that?

Ignoring the odd reaction, I keep my eyes on her as she moves toward reception to announce her arrival.

Rebecca is meeting her to get her paperwork and security passes sorted.

She comes to a stop at the desk to introduce herself and my eyes drop down her body.

She’s wearing a fitted light gray jacket with a matching skirt that fits her hips and ass like it was stitched onto her body.

Leaning forward, I try to get a better view.

On her feet are a pair of purple heels that make my dick twitch as the image of those stilettoes digging into my ass emerges in my mind.

A smirk pulls at my lips as I make my way back up her body and to her long, dark curls that are hanging around her shoulders. The perfect length to wrap around my fist as I?—

She turns abruptly, forcing me to take my eyes off her enough to realize that Rebecca is standing before her.

The two women greet each other before Rebecca gestures for Lorelei to follow her.
