But the moment I pushed open the door and saw the man sitting on the sofa, his face as cold as ice, I knew I was in trouble.
"Miss, this is our boss. He'll be personally conducting your interview," the butler said before closing the door behind me.
With my exit blocked, I had no choice but to plaster on a smile and walk over as nonchalantly as possible. "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here."
"Not a coincidence. I've been waiting for you." Sebastian's eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made me a little nervous.
Forcing a smile, I replied slowly, "So, um, are you seriously looking to hire? If you're sincere, I can lower my rate. How about 10,000 a month? That's already a bargain compared to what I've been making lately."
"Nina Darlington, have you had enough of this nonsense?" His tone was so sharp it made me shiver.
Feeling wronged, I looked down, pouting slightly, "Why are you being so harsh? We can negotiate if the price doesn't suit you. We're friends, after all. There is no need to ruin the mood."
