The Billionaire's Seduction (The Billionaire's Temptation #1) - J. S. Cooper Page 0,15

apartment. I looked back at his naked body lying in the bed and grinned to myself. He had been right. He was all man, and he was the best sex I’d ever had in my life. As I made my way to his front door, I knew that he had good reason to be a cocky bastard. Any man that could make a woman orgasm like I had deserved a prize.

Chapter 5

I was about to run directly to work when I realized that there was no way I could go into the Green & Hall’s office with jeans and a skanky top. I ran quickly into a Macy’s and bought myself some new underwear and a new suit. I figured on my new salary, I could afford it. As long as I kept the job anyway.

Lewis was waiting in my office when I got in and I beamed up at him. “Morning.” My voice expressed my happiness. I was still on a sexual high.

“Morning, Sarah.” He looked at me grimly, staring at his watch. I was thirty minutes late, but I hadn’t thought he would be this upset. “I think the boss is back today or tomorrow so we need those stats ASAP.”

“Oh, okay.” All of a sudden, my high came crashing down. “What time do you need them?” I smiled weakly, praying he would say by close of business.

“If you can have them in my office in two hours that would be great.”

I nodded slowly and wondered if I could run out of the building and never come back. “Sure.”

“Great. I knew anyone who had taken two of Dr. Takei’s classes would be able to pull it off.” He walked out of the room and I sank into my seat with sweat building up on my forehead. Dr. Takei? I’d never heard of him or her. I’d taken classes with professors whose names were Flowery Summer and The Great Hilda San Tomas. My teachers were former hippies who let us watch movies in class and spent hours practicing the inflections of cartoon characters. I could do a mean Minnie Mouse, but I certainly couldn’t churn out any stats.

I opened the file once again and turned on the computer. I felt like I was going to cry. The words on the pages just made no sense to me. I knew I had to come up with something or I was going to be out on my ear. I had no savings and Katy had just quit her job; there was no way that I could get fired. I had to come up with a plan. One that would use my real educational experience! I got a notepad out and started making a list:

Reasons Why I Didn’t Create The Charts

1. Get really sick—maybe fake faint

2. Pretend that I get a phone call from a family member that is sick

3. Pretend that a spirit has taken over my body

4. Pretend that I have amnesia and forgot

5. Seduce Lewis and hope he forgets

I paused as I wrote number five and thought back to the previous night. I sat back for a second and smiled. I hadn’t known that sex could be so good. It had been amazing. So amazing that my body was still tingling just thinking about it. I looked at my watch and tried to ignore the sad feeling that befell me. Bradley hadn’t called or texted me to see how I was doing. I knew it was irrational to feel upset. I had gone into the date only wanting a one-night stand, but I had hoped that he would have wanted me for more. Maybe he thought I was too young and immature. I sighed. Maybe he just wasn’t that attracted to me. Especially if he had slinky women like that blonde hanging on his arm every night. I wondered if I would ever see him again. It would be nice to just have one more night with him. Another night of passion with him would last me for another six months, at least.

I jumped when Lewis knocked on the door, and I felt my body freeze with fear. Here it comes, I thought. I’m about to be fired.

“We’re up, Sarah.”

“What?” I frowned at him.

“Mr. Green’s back and he wants to see us.”

“Oh?” I paused and clicked some letters on my keyboard. “I’m not quite ready.”

“It doesn’t matter. He wants us in his office now.” Lewis sighed. “Jackson says he’s mad.”

“Jackson?”

“The VP of International Trading.” Lewis grinned. “Sorry. I haven’t
