past an empty desk into a huge room that had a great view of the Manhattan skyline. I could see the Empire State Building and gazed in admiration.
“Can I help you?” A deep voice in my ear made me jump.
“Aaarrgh.” I screamed. “Sorry, I frighten easily. I looked up into the darkest blue eyes I had ever seen. They didn’t look impressed or amused.
“Uhm, sorry. I’m just waiting for Jack, I mean Hamilton. I’m not sure exactly.”
The man raised his eyebrows at me. “You don’t know who you are waiting for?”
I swallowed hard watching him talk. He was gorgeous. Tall and handsome didn’t even begin to describe it. He was like a male Adonis, with short dark hair, complimenting his tanned skin and solid body. Wow. That’s all I could think. Wait until Lucy hears about this.
“Sorry. This is my first day. And I’m not sure if there was some confusion or what?” I looked at him and offered a smile, hoping to garner his sympathy.
“You’re the new girl?” He looked at me in disbelief.
“Uh, Yes.” I try to look at him adamantly, like I was ready for business.
“They hired you?”
“Yes. And I accepted. I had several options you know but wanted to work for the best.” I beam and fuddle around with my briefcase.
“You look like you are barely out of college, not someone with years of experience.”
“Well, yes. I do get told I look young for my age. But I know all about Twitter and Facebook and of course Pin interest.”
“What?” The man looked confused.
“Let me introduce myself. I am Jenny Carpenter.” I reached for his hand so I could give him my professional handshake. I’d been practicing it all night with Lucy.
“Okay, Jenny. Well I’m Hamilton. We have a lot to do today. I hope you are prepared.”
“Yes sir. I am definitely prepared and ready for the job. Uh, what happened to Jack?”
“Jack?”
“Yes, I thought he was supposed to be my boss?”
“I’ve no idea what you are talking about. If you don’t want this job you can leave.” And with that Hamilton walked into his office.
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.

Hamilton looked over at his new assistant as she fumbled with her cheap briefcase. There was no way this girl was over 25, no way she had years of experience and no way she could do this job. As the CEO of the company, he needed someone who could keep up
