The Alpha CEO's Nerdy Assistant

Olivia

I felt hands moving up my feet, then along my calves. By the time they reached my thighs, I was panting. My God, his hands were so warm; his rough palms felt so good when they squeezed my legs.

"I love your thighs. Did you know that? Thick, delicious," he said in a deep, masculine voice that I swear made me shiver. I couldn't answer, I didn't want him to stop. I clutched the sheets as he touched me mercilessly.

"Have you been waiting for me? You're ready, my love..." he whispered, and I felt his fingers in my underwear. I squeezed my legs together, but he was there, determined to keep me open for him.

"Do you want it later? Suit yourself, but you won't get away from me. I'll taste you over and over again…" he said, leaning in close, kissing my belly button and lifting my nightgown. He sighed as he reached my breasts and I gasped. But when he pulled back the sheet, I saw a pair of gray eyes. I knew who they belonged to and woke up with a scream.

For heaven's sake! I thought those nightmares were gone. Well, that was more of a... steamy dream, even if I'd never admit it. What kind of loser do you have to be to have dreams like that about the man who broke your heart so cruelly? I stood up, still shaken by the dream, but my heart jumped when I saw the time.

"It can't be that late!"

I showered quickly and started to rummage through my clothes. I decided on a white satin blouse and a black pencil skirt. It clung to my hips, but I didn't have time for anything else. I grabbed my glasses and my handbag. I looked around: the place was small. Unfortunately, I thought that anyone who saw it would think I was a loser: a girl with good grades can have a decent job and a good place to live. Sometimes I felt that myself. But I had done what I could, as my father used to say, and that was quite a lot.

I couldn't be late; I'd fought so hard for this interview! Silver Enterprises was one of the largest companies. It was my best chance. They were specifically looking for someone in my area of expertise.

I desperately need a job. I'm buried in debt and haven't found anything since graduating because of my lack of experience. No one seemed to care about my grades or all my hard work.

As I got to the door, I realized I was missing my lucky coins and returned to get them from my bedside table. I grabbed all of them I had, I needed. I remember one I had never got back. I'd given it to him on his birthday, like a fool. If I'd known what would happen… I'd never have given away something so precious.

I ran to the train in high heels. The wait seemed endless as the clock kept ticking. After the train, I took the bus to Shadowmoon City. When I saw the doors to the exclusive offices, I was sweating and out of breath.

"Pull yourself together, Olivia, you need to make a good impression," I told myself, trying to calm down. I'd never seen a building like this before. The big city was terrifying, and I felt like a tiny ant out of place.

"This is your place; you fought so hard to get here. You studied like nobody else. No one deserves this more than you; you've been through so much," I reminded myself. I noticed a welcoming atmosphere; it seemed like a great place to work.

"I see you had a scholarship," said the interviewer, Peggy, a nice elderly lady with short blonde hair.

"Yes, by an anonymous donor. My high school grades helped," I explained.

"You have excellent grades and have worked on some interesting projects. You also have recommendations from several professors. Mathematics, development, and systems engineering," she said, looking at my resume, and smiling. God, I like her. Please, accept me!

"I understand you're looking for a cybersecurity expert. That's one of my areas of expertise; I developed a cyber-surveillance system."

"Yes, that project has caught the attention of my bosses. We tried with others, but it didn't work out," she said. "Why are you interested in working here?"

"Well, as far as I know, the Silver family owns several companies, and this one has grown the fastest," I said.

"Yes. I must say… you're an excellent candidate, Miss Williams. Do you have a few minutes? I could see if Mr Silver can meet with you now."

"Of course," I replied. It was rare for me to get to the next stage of the recruitment process, and even rarer for me to meet the bosses. I crossed my fingers and prayed in every language I knew. It couldn't be that the nerd everyone laughed at wouldn't be able to secure a better future.

And, more importantly, if I didn't pay for the apartment I was living in, they'd throw me out. I was between a rock and a hard place, and everything depended on making a good impression on Mr Silver, one of the heirs. Today, right now. I stretched out my crumpled skirt with my hands and adjusted my glasses. 

"How fortunate! It seems that one of his meetings has just been canceled! " Peggy said happily. I was also thrilled that everything seemed to be going so well. When the office door opened, the first thing I noticed was that it was incredibly large and luxurious. It has leather furniture, artwork, and a bookshelf full of books. The decor exuded an "old money" style with a modern touch. Damn, rich people.

"Oh Peggy, thank goddess you are here," a deep male voice said. Goddess? And sweet God… such a sexy voice. He was looking at something on his computer. Suddenly, he sniffed the air and, turning to look at me, froze. I froze too. I was breathless.

"Mr Silver, this is one of our top candidates for the most urgent position in the company," she said. My knees felt weak, my stomach churned, and I felt like I was going to be sick. My heart was pounding.

It was him. Christopher, right here, after all these years, standing in front of me, the big fucking CEO. At the very company I wanted to work for.

All my nightmares had come true.
