my body from being in his presence. It was a pity that he seemed like an asshole and that he was too old for me. He was someone I could have gone for in other circumstances.

“Hey, how can I help you, Lewis?” I beamed at him, wondering if he would ask me on a date. I didn’t mind a small flirtation in the office, but an outside date could prove to be more complicated.

“So, Sarah, I have some files that I’d like you to compare for me.” Oh no, I groaned inside. “I just got word that Mr. Green will be back earlier than we thought and he’s going to want this data analyzed and in a report on his desk as soon as he’s back.”

“Oh, okay.” I bit my lip. “Do we know when that’s going to be?” Please, let it be in a week or two minimum, I prayed, so that I would have enough time to figure out what I was doing.

“No, I’m not sure.” Lewis sighed. “Harry’s plans change all the time. It could be in a few days, it could be in a few weeks; I’d rather we got it out of the way now, so we don’t have to worry about it.”

“Sure, sure.” I smiled assuredly at him. “I’ll take care of it ASAP.”

“Great.” He turned around and then stopped at the door. “And if you could create some spreadsheets with some macros that would be perfect.”

“Uh sure.” Macros? What was that? I thought to myself. “I’ll get to that on my Mac.”

“Okay.” He laughed. “So glad to have you aboard, Sarah. We’ll have to go out for drinks one night and exchange Harvard stories.”

“That sounds good.” I beamed at him while panicking inside. As he walked out of the door, I quickly went to Google and searched, “Everything you need to know about Harvard University.” I then opened the first of the folders he’d given me and stared at a paper full of numbers that made no sense to me. “Shit, shit, shit,” I said under my breath, my heart beating fast. I was in over my head, and I had no idea what to work on first. Katy had been right to be worried, this was going to be a lot harder than I’d initially thought. As I sat there, my mind drifted to the man in the elevator. He’d been an asshole, but he’d also been really hot. He was the sort of guy that you would give up all your morals for if you thought you had a chance. I laughed to myself at the thought. Thank God, I’ll never see him again. I don’t have to worry about doing anything stupid.

Chapter 2

The afternoon seemed to drag on. The files that Lewis had handed me to create spreadsheets from looked like a foreign language. I was attempting to create a pie chart from the information, but I had no idea what information should be in the chart.

“Shit,” I grumbled to myself. I wanted to call Katy to moan to her but I was too scared that she had already quit her job. I didn’t know what we would do if she had quit and I got fired. “Shit, shit, shit.” I got up and decided to go and get a coffee from the break room. One of the perks of Green & Hall’s Corp. was that we got free coffee and snacks all day long. And I was going to take advantage of that perk as long as it existed. I was going to need gallons of coffee to get through these files.

“Hey Lewis, I’m just going down to the break room to get a coffee. Do you want anything?” I popped my head into Lewis’s room as I walked to the elevator.

“No, I’m good.” He smiled. “But you should go up to the fortieth floor. They have a kitchen there that has a Nespresso machine and much better snacks.”

“Really?” I frowned thinking about the man from the elevator. “I thought we were supposed to go to the break room on the ground floor?”

“Don’t worry about it.” He laughed. “I go up all the time. It’s closer to us and you’re an executive now. You get better perks.”

“Sounds great.” I nodded and looked at my watch. Two hours had passed since my ride in the elevator, I’m sure that the man I’d met earlier had left the building already. I decided to take a chance and go up. I danced
