“And for those who don’t meet or exceed your expectations?” Juliette asked, her breath catching slightly in her throat. “We’ll make sure you receive training, and we have rewards in place that offer incentives to those who not only meet but exceed our expectations,” Chase added, his eyes never leaving hers. We have high standards that we’ll expect you to meet.” Michael’s eyes looked into hers seriously, no hint of humor. “If you want to change your mind about the job,” Juliette said, looking at the three brothers, “please feel free.” Jill’s been away from me long enough,” Robert said, putting his arm around Jill and leading her away from them. “I knew you’d think so,” Juliette said stiffly. “I take it you’ve all sorted things out then?” Robert asked, walking to stand beside Jill. “Of course they haven’t.” Turning to the brothers, she ran and hugged each one of them. Maybe she’d work for them just until she found something better.Ĭlearing her throat, she pasted a smile on her face, and against her better judgment she said, “It was nice of you and Robert to recommend me, Jill. How could she turn down any job unless she was willing to take Robert’s charity? The money their parents left them had all but run out. Otherwise, Robert will have to continue paying the mortgage on the house or we’ll have to sell it. If you really want to pay your own way, this is the way to do it. “Don’t punish yourself because of me, Juliette,” Jill said softly. She’d cause a scene none of them would soon forget. Her sister was right, and for that reason, she took her now full glass of wine and brought it to her lips practically downing it all. Brent and Michael seemed more amused than anything. Juliette looked at Jill and then at the three men who were staring at her. “Don’t you think you’ve had enough to drink?” Jill asked, concern etched in her brow. She shouldn’t have another drink, but instead of listening to the voice of reason, she signaled for the waiter to refill her glass. The wine was really working on her subconscious. These weren’t the type of men you worked for, they were the type of men you had wild, naughty sex with. Throw in the fact that he had treated her abhorrently so far was reason enough to make anyone in her position say no. Had Jill forgotten these three men were dominants and the fact that they were Robert’s cousins only made it worse? Those two reasons alone should be enough to stay clear of them. You can’t seriously turn it down because they’re Robert’s cousins?” Jill’s smile turned downward as she said nervously, “You are going to take the job, right? I mean, it’s such a wonderful opportunity and you know how hard finding a job is right now. “But she doesn’t want to work for us, and I’m beginning to think asking her was a bad idea.” We asked her,” Michael said, his face a thundercloud. “I saw you all talking so seriously that I thought you must be asking Juliette to work for you. We would expect complete confidentiality.”Īt that moment, Jill came running up to them. You would be an exception because of your sister. Our lifestyle, as you put it, doesn’t carry over into our business. What we’re offering you is an opportunity. “But,” he continued, “you have to do what’s best for you, Juliette. Not in this job market,” Chase stated matter-of-factly, his blue eyes boring into hers. At least not something that is worth doing. “I’ll find something,” she said defensively. “I think I’ll take my chances and find something in my field and working for people that don’t adhere to your lifestyle.” There was no way she was going to work for them. Holy shit, she thought, they were rich too, maybe even richer than Robert. And that doesn’t count the family companies that we oversee for our parents.” “A very large carrier service, two Cable Television Stations, a construction firm, and a number of Internet startups, and a number of new opportunities are on the drawing board. “What kind of business are you in?” For all she knew they could be masters of pornography websites and manufacture sex toys to torture poor submissives.īrent smiled. “What does it matter? We have an opening and you need a job.” “This isn’t a spur of the moment offer is it? Robert approached you about finding something for me didn’t he?” This job offer isn’t charity if that’s what you’re thinking.” I’ve already made a couple calls to friends of mine at NYU and the law firm you worked for. “We wouldn’t offer you this job if we didn’t think you could do it, no matter who referred you. “He knows that if you’re working, you’ll have less time to try and poison his relationship with Jill,” Brent stated. “Are you telling me that you’re offering me a job as your executive assistant based solely on my sister’s recommendation?”
