The Proposition (The Millionaire’s Assistant #2)(2)
Author: Helen Cooper

“I’m glad you’re my new assistant Alice. I’ll see you later.” Oliver smiled at her, and tapped her softly on the ass as she walked out of the door.

“Who is this man?” Alice mumbled to herself as she got into the elevator. She knew that was one question that may never get answered but she also knew that she would do anything to find out.

Chapter 2

“Alice, I cannot believe you are going to go out with him.” Liz looked at her sternly. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Liz, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s as if my brain is operating of its own accord. Part of me is petrified that I accepted his proposition. Another part of me is exhilarated. I do not know what I am doing.” Alice spoke quietly as she applied her makeup.

“Alice, you are off of your rocker. I swear I’m not going to let you out of the apartment.” Liz lectured her.

“Liz, I’m 25. It’s fine. I know what I’m doing.” Alice grinned at her friend. “Now how do I look?”

“You look hot,” Liz laughed. “Omg, we are totally going to be on TMZ. You know that right?”

“No we won’t.”

“Oliver Park hires a hooker. Omg, you are the modern day ‘Pretty Woman’.” Liz fell on the bed in theatrics.

“Ha, I wish. He didn’t offer to take me to Rodeo Drive. But maybe I should ask him to.” Alice laughed at Liz’s look of despair. “I’m joking Liz, I’m joking.”

“Seriously Alice, are you sure you know what you are doing?” Liz sat up in the bed and looked at her seriously. “I’m scared for you.”

“Don’t be scared. I’m not.” And Alice realized as she spoke that she was telling the truth, she wasn’t scared. She knew that Oliver wouldn’t hurt her. “Dude, I’m like the real life Ana from ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’.”

“Dude, does he want to hit you?” Liz looked at her with bugged out eyes.

“No Liz,” Alice grinned at her. She paused for a second and wondered what it would be like to be in his lap. “He’s not into that stuff.”

“How do you know?” Liz looked at her with her eyebrows raised. “Come on Alice, just cos you have been a fan for years means nothing. You don’t know the real Oliver Park. He could be a huge freak.”

“Don’t worry Liz. I will quit if he gets too freaky okay?”

“Okay.” Liz sighed. She knew there was no talking Alice out of this agreement she had found herself in with Oliver Park. She was worried for her friend. “By the way, Peter called earlier, he wants to show you his new book or something.”

“I know,” Alice sighed. “I spoke to him earlier, he is coming round tonight. Tel him I had to go out and I’ll call him tomorrow.”

“Alice.” Liz looked at her sternly.

“What?” Alice tried to look innocent.

“You know that boy loves you, stop leading him on.”

“I’m not and he doesn’t.” Alice thanked her lucky stars when she heard the doorbell. Liz jumped up and ran towards the front door. Alice sighed; she hoped Liz wasn’t going to interrogate Oliver.

She hurried into the living room behind Liz. She was wearing a red lycra dress that clung in all the right spots. She left her hair loose and had on a pair of 4-inch heels. Liz and Oliver were sitting on the couch talking about his latest movie when she walked in.

“Looking very nice Alice.” He smiled up at her and stood up. He took her hand and kissed it. “You make me feel like an old man.”

Alice groaned. “Yeah right.” He removed her hand from his quickly and turned to Liz confused. She wasn’t used to him acting this nicely to her.

“Liz, I’ll see you later okay.” She gave Liz a hug and walked towards the door.

“Nice to see you again Liz. I’ll be sure to get you tickets to the sequel.” Oliver smiled at her friend and followed her to the door.

“Why are you being so nice to me and my friends?” Alice looked at him suspiciously.

“I can’t be nice?” Oliver looked puzzled.

“No. You aren’t nice.” Alice stared at him.

“I’m not nice?” Oliver smiled at her dangerously. “Is that what you think?”

“No nice guy would advertise for a writing assistant and expect her to be his whore as well.” Alice squealed as he pushed her up against the wall and kissed her hard.

“Oh.” She looked at him breathlessly. His hard body was pushed up against hers and she noticed that he was wearing a nice suit. “Oh.” She stared back at him as he stared at her while running his hand up her legs. He pushed his hand between her thighs and reached up in between her legs to her moistness.

“Good girl.” He purred at her as he ran his fingers along her slick wetness.

“What, what are you doing?” She felt like she wanted to collapse. To the ground and let him do whatever he wanted to her.

“I’m making sure you followed my orders.” He withdrew his fingers from her and smiled. “I see that you did.” He moved away from her and walked to his car.

“Hurry, we have somewhere to be.”

She ran behind him, annoyed that he had already upset her equilibrium. She wondered where they were going and if she would be out of place. She saw him waiting for her at the passenger side of his Mercedes. He held the door for her and she got in.

“Thanks,” she said meekly as she got into the car.

“I’m a nice guy sometimes Alice.” He smiled down at her as he closed the door and she felt a rush of warmth run through her body. She would never understand this man.

“Where are we going?” She questioned him as he got into his seat.

“Dinner.”

“But am I dressed appropriately?” She looked at his suit and then back at her trashy dress. He looked her up and down and laughed.

“You are dressed perfectly my dear. Quite perfect.”

“Would you like to listen to some music?” He asked her after they had been driving for a few minutes in silence.

“I’d rather talk, if you don’t mind?” Alice looked at him furtively, scared that he would be upset.

“Sure, what do you want to talk about?”

“The movie script we are writing. What’s it going to be about? It’s not a  p**n o is it?” She said the last part hesitatingly, not wanting him to know how distasteful she found them.
