Loving the CEO novel Chapter 19

Getting on the bus that had arrived five minutes after I had arrived at the bus stop, I climbed aboard and paid my fare. Sitting down, I watched the houses, persons, and buildings pass by. Arriving at my stop, I got off and stood right in front of the enormous building that is as tall as a skyscraper and is made of glass, and the words Jacob Enterprises printed at the front in black and were written in bold.

Looking at the time, I saw that I was thirty minutes early. Walking through the doors, I went right up to the receptionist.

"Hello good morning, I am here to see Mr. Jacobs."

"Do you have an appointment?" She asked without looking up from the computer screen.

"No, I don't, I was told to be here by seven-thirty."

"Well you can go sit over there, you're thirty minutes early Mr. Jacobs will interview you soon."

"You don––"

"Jacob Enterprises, good morning, how may I assist you today?" She answered the ringing phone, cutting off my entire speech. Walking to the chair, I sat down and patiently waited for Adam. My patience was starting to run thin, and I wanted to go right up to the receptionist and demand she takes me to his office. One and a half hours had passed, and my butt was starting to hurt. Letting out a frustrated breath, I finally got up and marched right back over to the brunette receptionist.

"Can I please go see Mr. Jacobs?"

"You would have to wait, he hasn't called me yet to send you up for the interview."

"You have me mistaken, I am not here––"

"You haven't started your job yet and you're already late," his calm voice came out from behind me.

"Actually, I was thirty minutes early but this bit-. I mean your receptionist had me sitting here for almost two hours," I replied coolly.

"Why didn't you send her up?" He asked the receptionist, ice lacing his voice.

"I thought she was here for an interview sir."

"Didn't I tell you I had a new personal assistant and she will be coming here at seven-thirty?"
