Chapter 2 New job in his company
"William, let me introduce my friend, Sissy." Miley told her husband with a wide smile. "Sissy, this is my husband, William." She continued.
I unwittingly gripped the plate in my hands while Mr. William's cold eyes stared at me. His gaze made me shiver, and I felt like my legs were numb. There was something about him that made me feel a lump in my throat, that left me speechless.
"Nice to meet you, Sissy." His deep voice just made me feel scared more, like I wanted to let the plate go, escape from the creepy castle and never return.
"Is that my soup?" Miley looked at the plate in my hand, then she stood up and walked towards me. When she reached me, she took the plate, and she burst out laughing.
"Relax, Sissy, he won't eat you." She said, "This is his nature, don't take it to heart."
I forced myself to smile.
"Well, I better leave you two some privacy." I said, and I was truly happy I didn't stutter. I turned around, and I strolled out of the kitchen to run up the stairs when I was no longer in the sight of them.
I shut and locked the door behind me, and leaning against it, I tried to take a few deep breaths to allow myself to calm down.
"I need a job." I whispered, and I ran to my bed to open my laptop. I checked my emails, but there wasn't an answer.
I listed all the jobs I applied for, and I took my phone. There were about ten places that I could still reach, and my eyes widened when all of them said they hadn't received my application yet. They tried to reassure me that maybe their system was too slow.
I put my phone down next to me on the bed, and I just sat there in disbelief. My only chance to move from here was a regular income, so I needed to get a job as soon as possible.
I went to bed late that night. As I wanted to get to the town to find a job myself, I set my alarm for waking me up early.
In the morning it was still dark, when I got up, and the Sun just started to rise, when I stepped out of my room, ready for the day. I walked down the stairs, and I headed to the kitchen, hoping to find some food that I could eat quickly on the way, but to see the butler preparing breakfast so early made me stunned.
"Miss Sissy, would you like some breakfast?" He asked me like he wasn't surprised at all to see me there.
"No, thank you." That was all I could say, and I turned around to get free from the castle. When I was about two steps away from the front door, I felt a little eased, but when I wanted to open it, it opened up suddenly, and Mr. William stepped inside.
I unwittingly moved two steps backwards, only to realise I couldn't move further, as my back was pressed against the wall. Looking into his cold eyes made my heart race inside my chest. He was probably out for a run, as his T-shirt was soaked by his sweat, emphasising his muscular upper body.
His appearance made me shiver instantly, and seeing his sexy Adam apple move whilst he swallowed made me feel dizzy.
"Good morning, Mr. Williams." I forced myself to greet him, but I moved my gaze to look in another direction, so I was able to speak.
I thought I could pull myself together, but when he passed me by, his intense male pheromones made my senses overwhelmed.
I thought he would leave, but I was wrong. He sat down and undid his shoes, obviously wanting to change them.
I thought I could leave then, but his long legs blocked my way, so I had no choice but to wait.
"Where are you heading to?" I heard his deep voice, which sent chills running down my spine.
"I am going to the town." I answered, trying to stay calm.
"What for?" He asked me again.
"I must find a job, but applying online appears to be too slow, so I'll try it myself."
I just finished the sentence, when he was done changing his shoes. He stood up and looked into my eyes.
"Stay here." He said, and he walked away. The way he talked to me was more like a command than a request. Even if I hadn't felt my legs numb as his strong, intoxicating male scent hit my nose, I wouldn't have dared to move unless I had a chance to run away.
I obediently waited at the main door, inhaling his scent, that remained there. I closed my eyes. No one ever made me feel this way.
Hopefully, I forced myself to get back into reality, as his appearance pushed me back into my daze once more.
He returned in a business suit, intoxicating me this time with his perfume.
"Come." He ordered me again, and I didn't dare to disobey, of course. Even if he scared me, there was another side of me, which wanted to stay close to him. I followed him. I only needed to step out of the door to see the black, luxurious car.

The butler opened the car door for us, first for him, then for me, and we sat in. I wanted to ask him about our destination, but I didn't dare to say a word. Instead of that, I was hoping he was only giving me a ride, and he would let me go as soon as we reached the town. I was wrong again.
We stopped at a building in the business district, and a man in a suit opened the car doors for us.
"Follow me." He ordered me again, and I obeyed without a word once more.
After we walked through the reception, and everyone we passed by greeted him as the CEO, we stopped at a man in a suit.
"Show Miss Sissy around, then meet me in my office." He ordered the man, who motioned me to go with him. He explained a lot about the company while he took me around the department. I just started to feel at ease when he took me to the top of the building. When I saw the lift was stopping at the CEO's office, my heart started to race again.
He let me in, and Mr. William was staring at me, sitting behind his desk.
"Take a seat." He said, and I quickly obeyed.
"Did you like it?" He asked.
"I did. Yes." I answered.
"I offer you a job here. You can start whenever you want."
"Thank you. I will start immediately." I said. Even if I didn't want to work near him at all, I knew I needed to earn money, so I could move from the creepy castle sooner.
