Capítulo 39: Chapter 9: Part 3 - Signing the Contract
= Sarah POV =
I was playing on my phone when I heard footsteps approaching the door and the door swung open. I put down my phone and looked up to find Ms Jun smiling at me while holding a familiar stack of papers.
"Once again, I am so glad you returned. I hope you did not get too sick from getting caught in the rain" she asked as she sat down across from me on the other couch and put the papers on the table with a pen for me to sign once I was ready.
"I was lucky enough to make it to the shelter. After I had a bath, I felt much better, thank you" I said, deciding not to go in-detail about the spa treatment.
"I'm glad to hear that. Now if you could look over the application and sign on the dotted line, I'll be happy to put you through a brief orientation, and we can discuss your schedule after your start day, which would be tomorrow" Ms Jun smiled and stood up "I'm a bit parched, would you like some water or coffee?" she asked.
"I umm… I'm good. Tomorrow? That's quite fast" I said but bit my lip as Ms Jun laughed at my response.
"No need to be so shy, we are all practically family here. We have been looking for someone to fill in the position, and I am eager to have you on board, unless you need to give notice to a job you currently have?" Ms Jun asked.
I shook my head " I-I'm eager to start as soon as possible" I smiled, pulling my hair back behind my ear nervously.
"You know what, I remember you ordered a Latte when you came here to work. I'll be right back with a Latte for you, and I'll see if I can get Hana to throw in an expresso, it'll pick you right up" Ms Jun grinned and strode out of the room, leaving me a little breathless.
I don't know what it was about her, but there was something almost predatory behind the way her eyes looked at me, like she was just waiting for me to let my guard down to pounce. The way she stood was so poised and controlled, however I noticed that she lingered too long on things, like stroking the pen before placing it on top of the stake of papers or running her fingers across the surface of the couch, instead of just letting them rest on her lap.
Or maybe it was just me. Yeah why was I noticing all these things? Maybe I was the one getting carried away by those long elegant fingers and those dark brown eyes. Yeah, it was probably all in my head.
I sighed and pulled off my hair tie to re-tie my hair. I often did that when I was nervous as I felt like by running my fingers through my curls, I would calm and settle my thoughts like I was combing back and settling my flyaways. I didn't know if I was picking up on all these signs because she was seriously coming on to me, but one thing was for sure, Ms Jun was a very tactile individual.
I reached over and picked up the pen, however, my heart started pounding in my chest as the memory of her hand on mine yesterday came rushing back.
Maybe the compound feeling of Chris holding me that morning so uncomfortably and this long stretch of being single made me hyper-focus on the smallest thing.
Or maybe I was longing for a gentle touch, from hands that wanted to hold me, softly...sweetly....
I put the pen down and covered my face with both hands I had to keep it together. I sat up straight and flipped through the contract, it all looked good. The pay was abysmal but it was the first real job I would have had in two months, and I was taking it with no complaints.
I signed it where it needed to be signed and sat back.
Ms Jun still hadn't returned, so I told myself to think of someone else, and immediately Chris came to mind.
The idea of Chris being here with me in the parlour, casually walking around, made me smile.
She would have made a smart comment about the decor and then sat down across from me. She loved smooth plush cushions so her long fingers would drag across the surface of the couch, forming long lines in the velvet surface. She would bite her lip and sheepishly say sorry, her eyes would lock with mine... she would beckon me over, saying that it's cold of me to sit so far away from her... I'd go over....she would pull me down...and I...
I involuntarily let out a little moan and clamped my hand over my mouth. Dirty thoughts about Chris be gone~!!!
I swear I needed to calm my fleeting heart down.
