Summary of chapter: CEO Sesshomaru interviews his long lost beloved, Kagome, for an open position to be his personal assistant.
“Tell me Miss Higurashi, why do you wish to work here?”
The question echoed between them in their silence. Her wide blue eyes were staring directly into his cold golden ones. It sent chills through him and reminded him of the past when he had once found her gaze uncomfortable. He thought at the time that she could see right through him and into his soul and that feeling quickly came back and filled his being. She had definitely stunned and intrigued the demon Lord of the West.
He didn’t care to know why or how she ended up here, but he was thankful that she was back into his life. He had waited too long to see her again and it was like could breathe for the first time.
His lips twitched at his all too consuming thoughts of her and he waited patiently for her answer.
Her eyes widened and she gently shook her head as if she too were stuck in her thoughts. He wanted to know what she was thinking about; if it was him she thought about. He knew that she was attracted to him from the way she blushed and how her tiny form leaned forward so she was closer to him. The sweet smell of her arousal spiced the room with its wonderful fragrance.
Her lips lifted into a gentle smile, “It’s a successful business Mr. Taisho. I want to over time learn how to run a business of my own and know how to succeed like you have.”
That took him back. He did not expect an answer like that; he had heard many answers to that question, all of them almost the same. But this…
“Oh? What kind of business did you want to start?” he asked, intrigued.
She leaned back and slowly but surely another beautiful blush tinted her cheeks, “More of a publishing business. I love to read.” She murmured and he had to lean forward a little to catch what she said.
Oh, she is educated and smart, opposite of what he once thought of her a long, long time ago. He gently ran a finger against his lower lip, “I see. Have you been to college?”
He had to keep acting like he was interviewing, even though he was going to hire her. He wanted to know more about his Kagome, his heart, his soul… his mate.
