I live a fairly normal life, one that some would call boring. I am married to a man who I thought I was in love with but after years of being together the spark seemed to have just gone away. My husband Josh and I got married when we were young, when I was much thinner. Josh has blamed my weight gain for our marriage problems constantly telling me that I needed to lose 100 pounds at least. I have done my best, but I can’t get under 250 pounds. I tried to tell him that my body was not made to be thin, but he only rolls his eyes and points to a picture of me from when we met. I have done everything I can to try and get this marriage back on track but nothing has ever worked. I even went out and purchased a sexy nighty, had my hair and nails done and waited up for him to get home from work. I was so disappointed when he walked into the bedroom that night looking me over giving a smirk and then heading to the shower. He couldn’t even acknowledge that I was trying. It was then that I decided that I was going to get a job. I had not worked since Josh and I had gotten married. He said it would look as if he could not provide for me if I had to get a job and he did not want people thinking that he was a failure, but I had to have something in my life that gave me a sense of pride. A sense of achievement and self-respect was exactly what I needed to get my life back on course. After putting in so many applications and going to tons of interviews I almost gave up until one day I found an ad stating that the company was looking for a secretary and no experience was needed. I immediately applied and got an interview. I thought it would go just the same way all of the other interviews had gone, I would be told that I did not have enough work experience and to come back when I had more. Sometimes I just wanted to yell at these people, ‘How can I get experience if I can’t get a job,” but I never did. I just smiled and accepted it as one more failure, another person looking at me thinking that I was not good enough just like Josh always did. This time it was different though, I went to the office and was called back to the interview. When I walked into the room there was a man sitting at one end of a very long table, he had just the tiniest bit of silver in his hair and was dressed immaculately. His suit looked like it cost as much as my monthly house payment and his shirt was double cuffed. He had on a simple tie that did not take away from his suit, but only made him look even more classy. He stood about six feet tall and I could see that he was in great shape. His shirt was not tight, but it lay just perfectly on his muscles. He had a movie star smile that could take any woman’s breath away. I sat down on the other end of the table and tried to steady my breathing. I was nervous and I could not deny that this man was extremely attractive which made it even worse for me. I sat down wishing that I looked like I did all of those years ago I would have gotten the job for sure then. He cleared his throat and introduced himself as Alan. “I am looking for a secretary who can handle simple daily tasks that I just do not have time for,” Alan began, “Do you have any computer experience?” “Yes,” I replied, not sure what I should tell him, “I did go to college and I am in charge of all of my family's finances which I keep track of on my home computer.” I honestly hadn’t messed with a computer in a long time, except for playing a few games here in there when my husband was at work and I had nothing better to do but I really wanted this job. “Are you willing to learn and do whatever I ask of you,” Alan asked. There seemed to be a sparkle in his eye when he said the last part but I tried my best to ignore it. “I am willing to do whatever it takes to be successful at this job,” I replied. We talked for a little longer and Alan offered me the job. When I left I was happier than
