I stood there biting my lip. Something had gone dreadfully wrong but I wasn't sure what. I had a feeling that this Hamilton was going to be able to figure me out pretty quickly. He didn't seem the sort to be easily deceived. And he had to be pretty high up in the organization. His office was huge.
"Jenny, are you coming or what?" Hamilton stood at the entryway of his door and I swallowed hard. I had an overwhelming urge to kiss him. There was something about him that was so virile, so manly. Nothing at all like the college boys I had dated before. Hamilton was all man.
I followed Hamilton into his office and took a seat in front of his desk. I tried to open my briefcase so that I could take out a pen and paper so I could take notes.
I looked up and saw him staring at me impatiently.
"Sorry, I can't seem to remember the code."
"The code?"
"For the padlock" I nodded down to my briefcase. "It's new you see. Lucy got it for me on her Macys charge card as a first day at work gift." Along with the suit, but I didn't tell him that.
"Hmm, and who is Lucy?" He lifted one eyebrow at me. I wondered how he did it but I knew now was not the time to ask.
"My roommate and best friend. We went to Columbia together. Uhm, many years ago of course." I smiled up at him and tried to look older. Shoots, I was going to blow it before I even made it to lunch.
