Chapter 75 - Job interview (3) (1/2)
Without a word, Sarah got her phone and texted Eve.
In less than fifteen minutes Sarah kept another report on the table in front of Jeff. ”You need to improve security.”
Sarah glanced at Aiden and mischievously winked.
Aiden's gaze was locked on her, full of admiration. He wished to pull her close to him and kiss her until she runs out of breath. He told himself to be patient. 'Soon…'
Jeff looked through the report speechless. He confirmed that the data is correct, after all, those are projects he signed. 'What speed! With her on-board we can clear all the backlog in no time and take on even larger volume of projects!' Jeff had dollar signs spinning in his mind. 'I can't show my excitement. It will make her ask for unreasonable benefits if she sees that I really want to hire her.' Jeff thought how lucky it is that Aiden found her. 'I need to be more flexible, she is a real gem, and I must get her on-board.' Jeff had an internal struggle ongoing.
Sarah observed Jeff's changes. 'This is priceless.' She found the most pleasure when she proved someone wrong by showing her skills.
Jeff cleared his throat and revealed a huge smile before exclaiming: ”You are hired!”
Seeing that Jeff is completely hooked, Sarah showed her dazzling smile. ”I'm flattered that you are interested in hiring me. I look forward to see what your company can offer to get me interested in working for you, CEO White.”
Aiden could not hold himself back and laughed. ”Suddenly I'm concerned about my job security.” Seeing that Jeff gave him a stern look, he suppressed his joy and looked at Sarah. Smile was lingering on his face. He was very proud to have Sarah as his girlfriend. He found her brilliance dazzling, and he could not look away. Sarah's appearance, intelligence, personality, everything about her pulled him in, and he was completely enchanted.
Sarah looked at Aiden and their eyes met. Everything in the background faded, and it was just two of them, looking at each other, with desire to come closer growing each moment.
Both Sarah and Aiden reminded themselves that they are in a public place, and that Jeff is right there at the table.
Sarah bit her lip using the pain as a reminder to force herself to look away. 'How can I think of making out with him at a time like this?' She took a deep breath before looking at Jeff.
”Call me Jeff, Miss Hill.” Jeff said with a smile bringing her back to reality as soon as he noticed that her attention is back at him.
”Jeff…” She repeated with a smile. ”You can call me Sarah.”
He nodded in approval. ”Here, Sarah, let's start from this contract as a baseline. Look at it and let me know what changes you want to make.” He enthusiastically pushed a stack of documents to her.
Sarah looked. It was a new employee contract. Her official title in the company would be 'security software engineer', she checked main points... base salary, benefits, annual bonus, performance bonus. As she went through the contract everything looked fine, or she didn't care about it. But she didn't find the point she cared most about... the one where she gets the right to refuse projects she does not want to work on. She frowned.
Jeff noticed that she is not pleased. For a second he racked his brain, and his eyes flashed as he found a solution to sweeten the deal for her. ”To this, company will also add a penthouse apartment in LA. It's located close to the office, fully furnished with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Apartment is fully owned by the company, and it's yours.”
She looked at him and raised an eyebrow. 'This is not what I had in mind.'
Even Aiden was surprised by his brother's generosity.
Seeing that she is not responding, he added. ”And a car. Company will get you a new car of your choice.”
Sarah didn't respond. 'That is not what I had in mind either.'
Aiden frowned. 'Hey, she is getting much better deal than me. Brother, we will talk about this later.' But he was happy that his brother acknowledged Sarah to such a degree.
Seeing lack of response from Sarah, Jeff was getting desperate. ”Is there is anything else on your mind? Feel free to let me know. Everything can be put on the table and discussed.”
Sarah nodded. ”I want to be able to select projects I'm working on.”
Jeff frowned slightly. ”Yes, Aiden mentioned this. Can you tell me the reason behind this condition?”
