“I'm Blaine Devon Anderson, CEO and founder of the Anderbros International Company,” Blaine held his hand to him.

“I'm aware of who you are, Mister,” Kurt said as he shook of Blaine's hand.

Blaine smirked, “what else do you know?”

“I've read a lot about your company,” Kurt stuttered as Blaine held his hand for longer than was comfortable, till Kurt pulled his hand back.

“Have a seat, Mister..?”

“Hummel.”

“Have a seat, Mister Hummel,” Blaine said as he went to the mini bar at the corner of the office, “would you like something to drink?”

“Water, please,” Kurt said, his throat hurt from the thirst.

Kurt went to sit on the chair opposite to Blaine's desk as the latter got a bottle of water and went back to where Kurt was sitting now and gave him the bottle.

“Thank you, sir,” Kurt stammered as he shakily opened the bottle and took a small sip. Blaine's presence was dominating and made Kurt feel vulnerable and naked, which got him to put his hands on his thighs in an attempt to cover himself.

“Do you need anything else?” Blaine said looking at Kurt with an intensity that sent shivers down the chestnut boy's spines.

“No, thank you.”

Blaine went and sat on the edge of his desk just a few inches away from Kurt, he'd touch Kurt if he extended his foot just a bit.

“So, Kurt. I've heard good things about you.” Blaine said.

“I'm glad.”

“What do you think of the people you met so far?” Blaine asked.

“They all seem great.” Kurt said with a smile.

Blaine's face darkened and the intensity of his eyes increased, “I think you are lying, Mister Hummel.” Blaine said firmly, “I don't like it when people lie.”

Kurt's jaw fell dumbly as he couldn't believe what Blaine just said to him, did he just imply that I'm a liar, Kurt thought but decided to not comment on it as he really did need this job, “I…I am..I am just nervous, sir.”

“Why's that, Kurt? We're just talking, no big deal.”

“You are a big deal, sir.” Kurt said nervously.

Blaine threw his head back and laughed this cute laugh that made Kurt want to record it and listen to it over and over again. He then looked at Kurt, his eyes playful, “oh I like that! I hope my mom and brother would think of me as a big deal.”

“They don't know that already?”

“Nope. This big company and all the fame don't fool them.”

“Well I am not them and honesty, sir, I am so scared.” Kurt said nervously.

“I like your honesty, Kurt. I like it.” For a reason hearing his name come out of Blaine's mouth made Kurt shiver, not shiver from fear but want.

Clearing his mind from the silly thoughts. Kurt sat straighter in the chair, “I'll work really hard if I got this internship, sir.”

“I know you will, Kurt.” Blaine said as he walked around the desk to sit on his chair, “but then again, hundreds of people would do so to get an internship in my company.”

“I'll do anything and everything needed from me in the creative department.” Kurt said quickly.

“Copies, phone calls, faxes, emails, researches….”

“All of this and more, sir. Whatever it takes.” Kurt said with a  determination.

“I need people who'll follow me into battles, Kurt. This job is serious and sometimes…..dangerous.” Blaine said with a serious look on his face, “I receive death threats and anyone who's under me, near me could receive things like that. I was almost kidnapped when I was in Paris.”

Kurt just looked at him with a confused look on his face, “you don't believe me, do you?”

“Sorry, sir, but you never mentioned any of this in your interviews.” Blaine just stared at him for a long time, his eyes holding Kurt's gaze making him want to apologise for not believing him. Suddenly, Blaine's smirked, “smart. Nothing happened in Paris; actually I had the best time of my life there.”

Blaine's attitude suddenly changed again as he became serious again and Kurt found himself lost in his own world as his gaze zeroed on Blaine's mouth.

These supple lips, I wonder what they taste like…..

Kurt was brought back to Blaine, “….will you?”

“Excuse me?” Kurt asked.

“Don't worry about it, it was nothing important.” Blaine said dismissively. Kurt felt unease for not concentrating on what Blaine was saying, “I'm really sorry, sir.”

“Don't worry about it.”

Blaine's attitude changed again and he looked irritated, “I can't do this.”

“What? No, I'm really sorry, sir. I didn't mean to.” Kurt said quickly.

“It was nice meeting you, Mister Hummel. You can go now.” Blaine said dismissively.

“Please, sir, I'm sorry. I really do want this internship, please sir!”

Blaine pressed picked his phone, “Please, Lisa. Can you come and show Mister Kurt out?”

Kurt felt like crying as he was taken out of the CEO's office.

Xoxox

Kurt sobbed on the train ride back home and he kept on repeating the whole interview in his mind trying to find what was drastic, beside dozing off, but it was just for a minute or so. Yet again it was Blaine Anderson.

Kurt decided not to call his father and tell him about what he did in the interview just yet. He just wanted to take everything in before telling his father that he didn't get the internship he was dreaming about for two months now.

 Kurt has just gotten out the shower, wrapping a towel around himself when his phone went off. He ran to the room and picked it up.

“Hello.”

“Can I speak to Mister Hummel.”

Kurt recognised the voice instantly and his knees trembled as he replied, “you're speaking to him.”

“It's Blaine Anderson, Mister Hummel. I wanted to ask if you're still interested in the internship offer.” Blaine asked.

“Yes, sure. Of course, sir.” Kurt stammered.

“Great. Then you can come tomorrow and report to Mister Evans.”

“Sure, sir. Thank you, sir. I really appreciate it!” Kurt said excitedly.

“Okay, Kurt. Goodbye, Kurt.” Blaine said a hint of smirk in his voice.
