Hailey took some deep breaths as she walked down the hall to Mr. Lewis’s office. She found it amusing that the hiring team also had a Mr. Lewis, but maybe the owner had hired a family member, or it was a pure coincidence to have more than one Mr. Lewis.
Outside the enormous wood door with the glazed doorknobs, Hailey took a moment to compose herself. Taking a few deep breaths and straightening her clothing one more time, she knocked on the door.
“Enter.”
The voice that beckoned wasn’t harsh, but it was commanding, and Hailey opened the door with so much haste to obey the command that she tripped and fell into the room. She flung her hands out to stop herself from hitting the carpeted floor with her face.
Hailey was about to crawl right back out the door and run for the elevator when hands helped her to stand.
“That was quite the entrance, Ms. Carberry. Are you all right?”
Hailey brushed off her skirt and then peered up into the slightly amused eyes of the sexy man from the diner. No way! This had to be one of those reality TV things with hidden cameras everywhere. In fact, that explained the friendly greeting from Amber when she stepped off the elevator. But you never knew. Maybe there was money involved in the gig, so she’d play along. One thing Hailey knew how to do was act a part. She’d been doing it for years now and was sure no one knew who she really was. How could they when she barely knew herself?
“I’m fine. Mr. Lewis. May we begin?
He eyed her suspiciously, then beckoned to one of the two chairs facing his desk.
Hailey sat stiffly in her chair, keeping her face blank. Mr. Sexy—Lewis sits behind his desk, which is reminiscent of the Victorian era, and Hailey wonders if the desk serves any nefarious purposes. She’s beginning to think this entire thing is a joke and a cover for a game show or some twisted club where rich guys find unsuspecting young women and do things to them.
“Can I get you anything before we begin?”
Hailey raised one eyebrow provocatively. “Anything?”
Hailey notices the crease that forms between his eyebrows and knows she has him off balance. Good. A taste of his own medicine, perhaps. A little push hurt no one she rationalized.
“Could you please give me details from the Anything list? I’m curious about what all is included?”
Mr. Lewis’s eyes darkened from light gray to almost black, causing Hailey to gulp. The intensity coming from him filled the room, surrounding her.
“I think you should share what you would like to have on that list, Hailey, and please, call me Halstrom.”
“Halstrom?”
“Or Daddy, if you prefer. You strike me as the type of young woman who could use a Daddy’s guiding hand.”
He spoke so casually, as if the topic was as mundane as the weather. But his eyes and growly voice were not casual in the least, and Hailey wondered how long she could keep up the role-playing. Maybe his words were only for the shock value. Who would watch the video once they were done?
“If that’s the case, Daddy, let me ask, do you spank naughty girls over your big wood desk?”
Halstrom’s eyes glittered dangerously. “Would you like to find out, Hailey?”
Crap! Now, what should she say? Hailey was way out of her depth with this man, and she was sure he knew it.
“Look, I don’t know what type of game you’re playing, but I hope it includes a paycheck. But for now, a bottle of water will suffice, thank you.”
Hailey breathed a sigh of relief when Halstrom broke eye contact with her to retrieve a bottle of water from a fridge she hadn’t noticed before, as it was part of the enormous shelving that covered one wall of the office.
“Here is your water. I hope it cools you down so we can proceed.”
Hailey screwed off the lid and took a deep drink.
When she put the lid on and placed the bottle on the desk between them, Halstrom leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers.
“Can you tell me why you chose Firm Hand for a place of employment?”
Hailey felt the question was an innuendo about the reality TV show and not the interview she’d been hoping for. Although she had no other reason to be here, other than to secure herself a good job with a decent wage. Hailey gamely made up an answer she felt the audience would find humorous.
“Well, it should be obvious with a name like Firm Hand Accounting. I assumed I would get some action. You know a happy ending at the end of each shift or something.” She replied to his question with a straight face, despite wanting to laugh outright. She was thinking she had fallen down the rabbit hole and was having tea with the Hatter.
“You assumed that the name of our company came with certain perks. I’d be more than happy to show you what you can expect from me when you don’t live up to your job requirements.”
This was it! Hailey was sure she knew the game now. She stood up and leaned her elbows on his desk.
Waggling her ass from side to side. Hailey raised one eyebrow, offering Halstrom a saucy look. “How’s this, Daddy? Can you show me now?”
He reached into his desk and pulled out a thick ruler. His eyes smoldered as he cracked the ruler on his desk.
