Text Adam (A One Time Only Thing)
Fable: Hey I wanted a favor.
Fable: Do you think you can do just one thing for me?
Fable: I don't normally ask guys on dates, but I was wondering if you would be mine for this dance thing. I am trying to make Hunter jealous, so I wanted to see if you wouldn't mind helping me.
Chances With Marlowe || Connor Drabble ||
Connor was dressed in his best, his hair gelled back and thanks to Adam he improved his resume. He knew that Adam was more than likely known within the Marlowe Company but he also knew not many people with trained eyes would believe that Adam was partly responsible for hiring the talent behind Jones Industries.
The witch did her fair share of hiring but Connor had seen the people Adam personally hired aside from Doug and they were pretty excellent hard workers. In addition to that, Connor wanted the man to get out of Jones Industries. Connor loved Isla but he knew the only chance of her leaving is if Adam did.
So he dragged the poor man along and stopped just before he entered the Marlowe building. Glancing up at it, he spoke “Sure is different from Jones Industries aye?” He questioned, turning to look at Adam who seemed a little intimated just by the building and that made Connor frown.
“Ye don’t have to be scared ye know” He said in a soft voice and reached over to squeeze Adam’s hand despite the fact that the man jumped and looked down as if he was confused “I....I...U-Umm I g-guess it’s d-different b-but are you s-sure you w-want to d-do this w-what if t-the CEO i-is like Miss J-Jones?” Adam questioned as he lifted his head back to focus his attention on Connor who shrugged.
“If they are anything like that witch than they better be prepared to run but I don’t think anyone can be evil as her. Now come on laddie!” Connor grabbed Adam by his arm and dragged him inside, the atmosphere was noticable different from Jones Industries. Instead of dread and fear, it felt free and calm. Happy even and judging by Adam’s reaction, he too felt the same.
The place was enormous and the sun shined through the large windows making it illuminated. There was plenty of space and the people walking by waved and greeted both men as they walked to the front desk. Connor was greeted with a smile from an elderly women.
“Hello and welcome to Marlowe Holdings, how can I help you two fine gentlemen?”
Adam gave an akaward smile while Connor just wore a happy one “Yes I have an appointment with the CEO for a job interview” He spoke happily and the woman clapped her hands together “Well isn’t that wonderful, we could always use a new face here at Marlowe” She stated before she picked up the phone and glanced at Adam.
“And this other gentlemen is here for?” Adam opened his mouth to speak but Connor wrapped an arm around his shoulders and spoke for him “This is Adam Hughes, my friend and the Head of Human Resources of Jones Industries. I was hoping he could meet up with ye’r CEO for a possible job transfer” There was no way in hell the witch would let go of Adam so easily but if Marlowe was interested in Adam than Connor would make sure the other quit his job at Jones Industries.
They all needed to get out Alexandra’s grip after all and Connor would feel much better if they all worked at the same place.
The woman's eyes grew wide with what Connor hoped was happiness “Jones Industries? Oh I’m sure we could squeeze an appointment for him. Just give me a moment gentlemen” The woman instructed and went about pressing buttons on her phone and turned her chair around as she spoke.
Adam turned to look at Connor with a raised eyebrow “Why d-did you d-do that?” He questioned, he wasn’t happy when people put words in his mouth but he would give Connor a chance to explain himself.
“Ye need to get out of Jones Industries Adam, the witch isn’t going to let ye go that easily but if ye work here there’s very little she can do to touch ye” Or at least he hoped but knowing the witch she’d do something to harm Adam. That’s all she knew after all.
Such a shame really, Connor would have liked her if she was less of a bitch.
“Okay you can go right on up, the elevator is just down the hall to the left. Have a wonderful day”
Adam swallowed and followed Connor down the hallway, ignoring the stares he was getting. There’s no way people knew who he was right? He tapped his foot impatiently as they waited for the elevator to arrive and he quickly stepped inside with Connor and enjoyed the somewhat long ride up.
“I think ye might have to talk to the CEO” Connor stated and turned to look at Adam who looked absolutely horrified “W-Who i-s the C-CEO?” Once again Connor shrugged “I’m not too sure but let’s hope he or she is better than the witch” He said as the elevator stopped and he found himself stepping into a white carpeted room with huge windows and the smell of coffee.
“Hello” Adam nearly jumped at the voice and Connor turned his head to focus on a girl behind a desk “You must be Connor Reid, Mr.Marlowe is very excited to see you” Her eyes shifted to Adam “And he is very eager to speak to you Mr.Hughes” With that she walked around the desk and opened the door to Mr.Marlowe’s office “Go right ahead in Mr.Reid” Connor turned to Adam and gave him a smile before walking away.
Adam took a breath and looked around for a place to sit. Deciding on the small couch, he sat with his hands in his lap and glanced out the window. Admiring the clouds that passed by “So is it true?” He jumped at the voice again and felt his heart race before he turned to look at the woman who was back behind her desk.
“W-What is t-true?” He questioned, hoping he didn’t sound too rude “That you work for Jones Industries” She narrowed her eyes “You’re not a spy are you?” Adam flinched back “W-What!? N-No I-I’m n-not a spy I...C-Connor j-just wants me t-to get out o-of Jones Industries...M-Miss Jones i-isn’t all t-that nice” He heard the girl laugh “So we’ve heard, Mr.Marlowe is pretty decent and usually calm. I’ve only seen him loose his top a handful of times” Was that supposed to be a good thing?
“Heh” Adam gave another akaward smile “W-Well that’s g-good I g-guess umm” His eyes glanced around and settled on the coffee machine “D-Do you mind if I...?” He trialed off and pointed towards the machine surrounded with cups and sugar “Oh no. Of course go right ahead” He hesitantly got up “T-Thank you” He stuttered and looked over the flavoured K-Cups they had...Hmm chocolate glazed donut or hazelnut?
“Well mate I think we may have a place for you here in the Marlowe family but tell me” Mr.Marlowe closed the binder that contained Connor’s resume and slid it across his desk “Is it true that a Mr.Hughes is here?” Connor gave a half smile “Aye, I was hoping ye could speak with him” He said honestly and watched Mr.Marlowe lean back in his chair with a smirk.
“I see well Mr.Reid I believe we are done here, you should be expecting a call shortly” The man spoke and reached over his desk to shake Connor’s hand “Thank ye sir” Connor spoke with a smile and turned to leave, his heart was racing. God he needed this job and he hoped he got it.
“Send Mr.Hughes in”
Adam sipped on his coffee happily, he settled on the chocolate glazed donut with plenty of cream and sugar “Adam” He nearly dropped his cup and turned around to see Connor smiling “I think I did it!” The man declared happily and wrapped his arms around Adam for a hug.
“O-Oh” His cheeks began flushing “T-That’s good umm...” He didn’t exactly know what to say but his attention was focused on the woman behind the desk again “Mr.Marlowe will see you now Mr.Hughes” Adam eyes went wide and he looked at Connor desperately.
“Ye will be fine, I’ll hold ye’r coffee” He knew Adam didn’t want to face Mr.Marlowe but he took the man’s coffee anyway and began pushing him towards the office despite his protests.
“Just get in there!” Connor exclaimed and finally pushed Adam inside and shut the door.
Stumbling not so gracefully into a CEO’s office wasn’t exactly the golden way of first impressions but Adam caught himself on a chair and Mr.Marlowe was surprised that he made such an entrance.
“Are you okay?” The man asked and helped Adam stand once again “I...I umm y-yes I’m f-fine” Despite the fact he felt embarrassed beyond anything “S-Sorry about t-that umm t-thank you f-for helping me up sir” He stated and turned to look at Mr.Marlowe.
His eyes widened at the sight of the man, should he be thinking he was attractive? No...No he had Aiden...Still this man was...Wow. Adam found his voice caught in his throat and felt shy when the man smiled at him “You don’t have to call me sir, my name’s Luke” He extended his hand out to Adam “Nice to meet you” Adam gave a shy smile and reached out to shake Luke’s hand though unknown to him Luke would play it nice to get anything he wants.
Adam was the Head of Human Resources of Jones Industries and if he could get him to join Marlowe Holdings instead, well it’d be worth it to not only have someone who could hire efficient talent for Marlowe but also to have any chance he could get to anger Alexandra.
He helped settle Adam into a chair and leaned forward “So you’re the brilliant man behind hiring the talent at Jones Industries” He reached over and tucked a piece of Adam’s hair back behind his ear. Seeing the man’s cheeks turn red "I...W-Well I w-wouldn’t say brilliant...” Luke leaned back up and took his place leaning against his desk "Of course you are brilliant, do you ever wonder why Alexandra hired you? Because she saw potential in you and I see potential in you as well Mr.Hughes” Luke spoke in a smooth voice and Adam felt himself slightly panicked.
He wasn't used to being complimented or praised for his work but did Luke truly see potential in him?
"I...I...Umm" He couldn't find any words but it seemed he didn't need to because Luke spoke once again. Grasping Adam's chin and tilting his head up "How much is Alexandra paying you? I'll double it" Adam nearly fell out of his chair from pure shock "D-Double?!" Luke was joking correct? There's no way Marlowe Holdings would offer Adam double the pay "D-Do I still get my current position?" There's no way he'd give up the position he worked so hard for but he did recall he once applied for Marlowe Holdings but got rejected.
What if that was the case? Would Marlowe Holdings just hire him to spite Jones Industries and than fire him or would he truly have a place in the Company?
Luke interrupted his thoughts "Of course, if you chose to leave Jones Industries. You will have a place here as Head Of Human Resources. I will ensure you have a bigger office with a window view and your own personal assistant of your choosing and a bigger paycheck" Adam nearly got scared when an assistant was mentioned but if he could chose his own maybe that'd be better.
He couldn't answer now though, he felt like he'd have to ask Aiden first and it seems Luke knew this "Think it over Mr.Hughes but I look forward to seeing you have a future in Marlowe Holdings" With that Luke outstretched his hand and Adam once again reached out to shake it "T-Thank you" Adam stuttered and turned to leave, taking his cell phone out. He left another voicemail and felt his heart sink more, where was his boyfriend?
He approached Connor who gave him a smile "How did it go?" He asked before hugging Adam who keep his hands to his side "Umm w-well he o-offered me d-double if I come w-work here instead" Connor could have dropped dead of shock "What?!" He exclaimed "What did ye say?" Connor seemed more excited than Adam should be "I...I d-didn't say a-anything..." He confessed and Connor gave a confused expression "Why didn't ye say anything?" Adam wasn't that intimidated by Mr.Marlowe was he?
Adam took a breath and shrugged "I...I...W-Well he said to t-think about i-it..." That was basically the summary of what happened anyway and it seems the answer satisfied Connor who grasped his shoulders "Ye don't have to think about it! Just accept the position! Aiden would be more than happy to have ye working here. Ye know he is saving money to get his own flat but if ye take the job here than ye would make twice the money and ye could get ye'r own flat" Connor was shaking Adam a little and well Adam wanted to have his own place at the same time he didn't want to leave Donald.
He glanced away a moment "M-Maybe..." He'd have to do some thinking before anything happened though. Connor kept smiling "How about we get something to eat aye? Ye can stay the night at my house if ye want, Aiden won't mind and if he does. He knows where I live" He wrapped his arm around Adam who stumbled slightly but allowed himself to be led to the elevator again. He still wasn't sure if he wanted to take the position especially because he didn't want to leave Isla all alone. Just imagine if Adam hired her as his secretary.
He laughed at the thought, he'd never get anything done if that happened. He turned to look at Connor and waved the elderly woman at the desk goodbye before getting into Connor's car "Have ye ever been to an Irish Pub laddie?"

Sage: Adam I wish you would stop avoiding me, I saw what happened between you and Doug. What possessed you to get into a fist fight?
Adam: I didn't get into a fist fight, he tackled me down the stairs
Sage: Why did he tackle you?
Adam: He has been harassing me since he became my secretary and he's jealous of Aiden and that makes him kind of go crazy
Sage: Have you spoken to Miss Jones about this?

Text To Adam
Connor: Laddie I need ye'r help again
Adam: With what...?
Connor: Does Isla like chocolate?
Adam: -_- I guess...She likes milk chocolate and if she's in the mood dark chocolate as well
Connor: And does she like dancing?
Adam: Umm...Well sometimes we dance at my house...But in public we're both really shy...
Connor: So she knows how to dance?
Adam: Because...I taught her yeah....I learned from my sister's though...
Connor: I know how to dance but I don't believe I can slow dance...Do ye think ye could teach me that?
Adam: N...No Aiden...Aiden was mad t-today because I wanted to see...S-Someone for lunch...If he knows or sees me slow dancing with you...He's gonna be mad...
Connor: No he won't. If he is I'll handle it. Can ye teach me or not laddie?
Adam: I guess but...Can we do this at my house...?
Connor: I already said Aiden won't get mad at ye, I'll take the heat for ye if he does and I don't think a wee space in an apartment is safe to practice dancing.
Adam: Than...Than where are we supposed to go?
Connor: How about The Electric Brixton? I'd say the Burlesque Club but we'd have to go when Aiden isn't working
Adam: Y-You're not going to tell him about this?
Connor: What's to tell laddie? Ye'r just teaching me to how to dance, no harm in that.
Adam: Well...I guess...But if it's no harm...Can't we go to the Burlesque Club? Aiden said he doesn't want me there...But he hadn't seen me with my new haircut...So maybe he won't recognize me?
Connor: Okay laddie sounds good, when are ye free?
