before darkness took her was that she hoped that Alex would
be willing to have a quickie before she left him in the morning—she
was certain her dreams would be haunted by the enigmatic CEO.

Chapter Three
     
    Gabrielle went about her usual business in the week that she was
waiting for her interview with Tyler Edwards; she did some
freelance work, designing a logo for one client, and finishing up
all of the loose ends that she had in terms of billing and
invoicing—she could expect, if she got the internship, to start a
few days later, and she would have little time to actually track
down her clients at that point. She also worked on her portfolio
and resume during the week, reaching out to her references and
making sure that they were still available and willing to speak on
her behalf. If she somehow managed to botch the interview,
Gabrielle wanted to be prepared to move forward with alternate
plans. She had been freelancing for months, more because she was
waiting for the right opportunity to present itself; she could
support herself fully from her freelancing, but she liked the
stability of a job. In addition, even if she did decide to one day
go back to working for herself, it would be worth it to have an
entry on her resume and profile that featured a company like
Edwards Industrials as a previous employer.
     
    Even as she went about her normal tasks,
Gabrielle’s mind kept straying to the enigmatic CEO. Out of
curiosity, she researched him, thinking that having a bit of an
edge on the person she was interviewing was even better than having
research on the company generally. Spending an afternoon on the
task, she saw that even if she had made good on her juicy bit of
gossip about Edwards fooling around with a secretary, it wouldn’t
have put much of a dent in his reputation; tabloids hounded the
man, and Gabrielle saw plenty of pictures with anonymous, beautiful
women—rarely the same woman more than twice. Gabrielle also read
through interviews that the man himself had done, explaining his
business philosophy. Gabrielle noticed that in spite of
journalists’ probing, Edwards kept his personal life to himself.
Gabrielle wondered at that; she could understand a desire for
privacy, but it seemed a little silly to deflect from questions
about his romantic life when he was constantly showing up at events
with beautiful women—like inviting questions he wasn’t willing to
answer.
     
    Gabrielle learned that her instinctive
thought about Edwards’ wealth and power was definitely accurate;
Edwards was part of the most elite of wealthy men. She read
conflicting reports of his net worth, but every article posited
that it was in the billions. It was clear to Gabrielle as she
delved into her research of the man, that he was the type who would
probably ask very pointed, insightful questions in their interview;
but they would be strictly professional. She looked forward to
matching wits against him, even if she didn’t get the internship
she was interested in. It would be an interesting experience,
Gabrielle thought. Edwards didn’t talk much about his personal
life, but he was positively candid about his professional life; he
had a strong belief in hard work, and had run Edwards Industrials
with the idea that every single person had to be responsible—from
the top down. It made sense, Gabrielle thought, that he had made
the offer to interview him herself when he had heard what his
employee had done. It was a matter of taking responsibility for the
misconduct. Gabrielle wondered what exactly would happen to
Richards as a result of his bad choice in being an asshole to
her.
     
    Her research led her to take another
afternoon off the day before her interview was scheduled, to go
shopping. She knew that Edwards would appreciate it if she showed
up looking absolutely professional, and Gabrielle thought that
while her previous outfit certainly fit the bill, she didn’t want
the CEO to see her in the same thing twice; while
