CHAPTER 3 : FIRST DAY HIGH? OR FUNK?
There was dead silence. We stared at each other for a while.
“Are you kidding me? Aren’t you gonna sit down? “ – He breaks the silence
“Oh, yeah! I’m so sorry, Mr. Downey” – I replied
“It’s Robert, or Rob. Whatever you like to call me. Any of those 2 but not Mr. downey. It sounds too formal and too old. “ – trying to ease the tension in the room
Oh well, he is old. He is 49. But gosh! He doesn’t look like his age. He is so gorgeous, with a well framed body and a nice butt! Yeah! Damn hotter than I thought!
“Okay, Robert. So where do we begin? “ – replying to him with a formal voice and tone
“Let me start with… you!” – he smiled.
“Me? What about me? Personal information is listed on the resume that I gave you for application. Isn’t it enough? “ – oh, this man makes me so nervous!
“Not everything there is listed. Let’s see. I have your birthdate but no birth year? Seriously? You don’t want us to know how old are you? – Robert asking in a jokingly phase
“I don’t feel it is necessary. Age is just a number and you seriously wouldn’t want to know. “ – I’m getting uneasy
“Precisely! It’s just a number so why would you be shy about it? I mean, I am 49 for God’s sake! But it’s no big deal! “ - He sat on a chair next to me, grinning. Oh God! I think I’m having a fever. I’m starting to feel butterflies in my stomach
“Yeah right, you win! I was born 1984, so that makes me 30yrs old in just a few weeks!” – Yeah, I left for the U.S just a couple of weeks before my birthday. I tried to haggle to have my travel scheduled the next month but the client didn’t agree. And the client being Robert. Wow. Sweet, right? I get to spend my birthday in a foreign land. Maybe alone. Although I have a friend that lives in Tacoma but it is a hundred miles away. I don’t know.
He chuckled. Gosh, this man. He gets what he wants! He is like Tony Stark. Really.
“There! Sounds there’s gonna be a celebration in the next 2 weeks! “ – he sounds excited. Why is This man is really giving me this weird feeling? Ugghh!
“Boyfriend?” – What???? Does he really need to ask that??
Dead silence. I did not respond.
“Ahem, Ms. Salvador? Boyfriend? “ – He asked again
“Is it really necessary to answer? What does it have to do with my work? “ – I feel a bit irritated. Is he trying to invade my privacy now?
“I am just trying to find out. You know. The work that you have is not normal. I mean, you can be surrounded with gorgeous men and I don’t want somebody just barging in and create a scene and ---- “ I did not let him finish. I interrupted him
