Second Chance Love - Page 22

“Jesus, this guy sounds like a prick.” I took a deep breath. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. Please escort him to my office.”

“I’m emailing you his file. May the force be with you, Evie. You’re going to need it with this guy.”

I hung up, anxiously waiting for him to arrive. My computer dinged with a new email, bringing my attention to the screen in front of me.

“Oh my God…” was all I could express when I saw his name in the subject line.

Before I could open his file, the door to my office flung open and slammed into the wall behind it. There in front of my eyes was the man I least expected looking fucking furious.

Ready to go to battle with me.

Abruptly, I stood and greeted, “Good afternoon, Mr. Hawkins.”

“Mr. Hawkins?” he bit, shutting the door in Khloe’s face.

What an asshole!

“You’re really going to pretend like you don’t know me?”

I smiled, refusing to give him an inch or he’d take a mile.

“Please have a seat.”

“Don’t patronize me, Evie. You owe me a nanny.”

“Mr. Hawkins, it’s been brought to my attention you’re dissatisfied with our services, but let me remind you that we’ve sent you fifteen—”

“I don’t give a shit if you’ve sent me a hundred. What kind of agency are you running that you can’t send me a capable nanny to watch my children?”

“Mr. Hawkins—”

“Enough with the Mr. Hawkins bullshit, sweetheart. You were deep throating my cock a month ago.”

My hands fisted at my sides.

Do not let him get to you, Evie. All he wants is to get under your skin.

Clearing my throat, I politely denied, “I don’t recall that interaction with you.”

He stepped toward me, each stride more determined than the last.

“No?” he baited, cocking his head to the side.

I could see it in his eyes, he was coming…

For me.

“How about you get on your knees, and I’ll remind you—”

“Excuse me, Mr. Hawkins,” I sternly interrupted, not playing this game with him. “You’re in my office, so either you give me the respect I deserve, or you will leave.”

“I’m not leaving until you give me another nanny.”

“I will happily refer another agency for you—”

“I don’t want anyone but you.”

The tone in his voice insinuated he wasn’t referring to a nanny, and it pissed me off that I still caught on to his innuendos.

“It’s obvious we’re not meeting your demands, and another agency could—”

“Per our contract, you owe me a nanny or else.”

“Or else what, Mr. Hawkins?”

“I’ll hold you liable. Do you want me to tarnish your reputable name by telling everyone I know how incompetent your nannies have been?”

“Everyone we have sent you is personally screened by me before they’re added to our recruitment list. I know for a fact that the fifteen nannies we’ve sent you in the last three months have been well overqualified to look after your children.”

“If by overqualified you mean they can’t understand or follow a simple schedule, then I’d hate to see what you think underqualified is, Evie.”

“Maybe your schedule is too demanding, Mr. Hawkins.”

“If you call me Mr. Hawkins one more time, I’m going to bend you over your desk and fuck my name out of your mouth.”

Unable to control it any longer, I snapped, “You arrogant son of a bitch!”

I regretted it immediately, fully aware I just gave him exactly what he sought out of me which simply infuriated me further.

“But look what it’s done for your perspective. At least you’re not addressing me as Mr. Hawkins anymore.”

“I have tons of names I could call you. How about I start with lying bastard? You think I don’t know what you’re doing?”

He grinned as he sat down. He leaned forward and placed his elbows on his knees, linking his fingers together in a prayer gesture as he arched an eyebrow.

“By all means, darlin’. Enlighten me.”

“Fine. Let’s start with the fact that not once did you mention you were using my agency for a nanny at Jax’s vow renewal. You’re doing this on purpose, manipulating your way back into my life. Exactly how you did when I was in college. This is so catty of you. I can’t believe you’d stoop to this level to bulldoze your way into my life again.”

“I hate to break it to you, sweetheart, but that sounds more like your fantasy than our reality of what’s happening right now.”

“Then why did you use my agency?”

“Everyone said you were the best. Come to find out, you’re far from it.”

“If you were so unhappy with our services, why didn’t you bring it up at the vow renewal?”

“When was I supposed to mention it? When my face was buried in your pussy or when you were riding my dick?”

“How about when we were at the bar slamming shots?”

“The only thing I slammed was my cock into your cunt.”

“Holy shit, Caleb!”

He smiled, big and wide. “And just like that, I’m Caleb again.”
