A CEO's Revenge Marriage Accidentally in Love

Chapter 2

Chapter 2
Hannah

“Give me one good reason not to fire you.”

Tobias’s words make my heart pound a mile per second.

I’m sitting on a massive chair inside his office, and his gaze is digging into mine. He looks as friendly as a wolf, and that face I found so beautiful earlier is now scary and intense.

“I really need this job, Tobias—err, I mean, Sir.”

He lifts an eyebrow, and I stare down into my lap. I’m sweating despite it being rather cold inside his office.

But can anyone blame me?

Tobias is too frightening to keep eye contact with, especially now when he is wearing an expensive suit that seems to scream, “Man in charge!”

“Hm, if that’s true, I would expect you to put more effort into keeping your position, Miss Darling…” he looks at me again. “Did you use a fake name when you were hired?”

“No, Sir,” I grimace. “My surname is Darling.”

“And you’re a college student?”

“Yes…”

“I see…” he absentmindedly taps his chin while scanning my papers without even a hint of a smile. “Plenty of student loans to pay off, then?”

My shoulders slump in defeat. “That’s a rather personal question.”

He lifts his chin, eyeing me. “I know, but I’m your boss… also, are you really not planning on using that against me? Any other person in your position would use that to play with my emotions and manipulate me into feeling sorry for you.”

Tobias’s words are shocking. And the fact that he can say that while deadpanning is scary. It also tells me everything I need to know: this man won’t get manipulated easily.

“Um, something tells me that you would see through any lie I gave you,” I give him a hesitant, nervous smile. He is watching me like a hawk, and I quickly continue talking. “But I really need this job. I know that I’m at fault here. I made a mistake walking into that room. I’m not stupid, and yes, you have every right to fire me, but I’m desperate for money.”

“Desperate, you say?” Tobias is watching me with renewed interest now. He reminds me of a cat focusing on its prey. “How desperate?”
