Falling Into You (Geek to Chic) Read Online Free PDF Page A

going to be gone.   I’m not staying long, so it would be a
perfect opportunity to show you around let you get a feel for the office.   I’ll even buy my new employee lunch.”   He looked so nervous, looking down as he said
the last part.   Roni thought he was an odd
mixture of personalities all in one gorgeous hunk of a body.   On the one hand, he was the smooth, confident
CEO, on the other he was nervous as a schoolboy.   She found that combination intoxicating. He
was the entire package.
    She stared at
him, realizing she was taking too long to answer.   Obviously making him more nervous. “That sounds
like a great plan, but I’m not really dressed for the office.”
    “Neither am
I.” He grabbed up the rest of his stuff, stood, and held out his hand to her.
“However, it is casual Friday, so we will look better than most.   Come on, I’ll drive.”
    “Well, since
you put it that way, let’s go.”   She
giggled collecting her own stuff taking his proffered hand. He linked his
fingers with hers, almost making her sigh at how comforting holding his hand
was.    They walked out of the coffee
shop, hand in hand, towards a black Audi R8.   Her earlier thought of being out of her league was obviously true.   “Your car is orgasmic!”   She exclaimed, running her hand over the
trunk.   “Did I just say that out loud?”
    “Um, yes, yes
you did.” He said, gasping for air between laughs.   Then wincing, “Ugh, I am never drinking
again.” He mumbled.  
    She popped her
hip out and placed her hand on it, looking up at him and shaking her head. “Do
you know how many times I have uttered that very sentence?”
    “Ok, let me
amend my previous statement.   I am never
drinking with a bunch of guys in order to get even with Alex. Though the
hangover was worth it when Alex saw his bill.   Then he had to drive us all home. So worth with it.” Derek walked past
her, hit his remote to unlock the doors and opened her door for her. “My lady.”
He said with a dramatic bow and arm movement.  
    “Such a dork,
but thank you.”   She could not stop
smiling being around him today.   He was
even fun hung over.   Even after she
almost sent him to the emergency room twice and totaled what looked like a very
expensive laptop, he was still kind to her and laughing with her.   Most men would have run screaming the other
way.   Which made her wonder what she was
missing? He was obviously smart, funny, kind and let’s not forget tall, dark
and handsome.   He was everything she
could want.   She had to wonder why he
would want to hang out with a clumsy, average looking, slightly flaky woman
like herself.   The perma-smile she had
just been sporting, started to fade as her insecurities came rushing to the
surface.  
    Sure, she was
smart with a good sense of humor but she was sure he could find a rich,
successful, super model looking woman with those qualities as well.   Maybe he felt sorry for her, after all she
did come off as someone who couldn’t take care of herself.   No job, falling all the time, she was one
purse snatch away from being the stereotypical damsel in distress.   Is that how he saw her?   Oh God, was he being nice to her out of pure
pity?
    “What has you
making that scowling face out the window” Derek asked her as he concentrated on
the traffic in front of him.  
    “Did you offer
me this job out of pity? I mean I know I l come off as a mess, with being fired
and constantly causing you unintentional bodily harm, however I really am put together.   I graduated with honors from college, have
managed 28 years without injuring another human, and some even think I am
cute.   So really if you're offering me a
job and being nice to me is some kind of way for you to boost your Karma
points, thanks, but no thanks.” She huffed out the last part, crossed her arms
over her chest and went back to staring out the window.  
    Derek stopped
at the stop light.   Stared out of
