I stood in the elevator trying to smooth my skirt. I have an interview today with one of the biggest advertisement agencies. Everyone that I have encountered have warned me about the boss. How he was a cruel sadist that got his rocks off by taking his anger off on everyone else. There was a ding and I looked up to see a man coming onto the elevator. "Press the pent office."
I scoffed and rolled my eyes; it was already pressed since I was headed there. He looked down at me and I looked away. I began to nervously fidget with the end of my skirt, and he noticed apparently. "Are you trying to tempt me?" He chuckled and I looked back up at him and my mouth went dry. His steel grey eyes held me in place, and I couldn't look away, as much as I wanted to.
"Are you going to say anything?" He smirked and I cleared my throat.
"It's a habit I do when I'm nervous. I have an interview today and everyone has been telling me what an ass he is." I ran my sweaty palms against my shirt and tucked it in further; hoping I looked professional enough. He began laughing and I turned to him. "What's funny?" He looked down at me and stooped to my eye level.
"You are quite adorable." There was a whine from above us and then the lights in the elevator shut off. I looked at the time on my phone.
"Are you serious? Not today. I am going to be late." I began pressing the button to open the door and for the highest office. I didn't even budge and there was another whine.
"Okay. One, don't do that, it's only going to make it worse. Two, I am sure that you will be fine, but you got to calm down." I shook my head and began pacing and his phone rang. "Get me out of here, George." The man on the other line said something. "She's the one with the interview."
He hung up the phone and spun around to me. I didn't realize how close we were until he stooped down to my level. I took a step back and ran into the wall. "He said it'll be about an hour for them to get us out." I shook my head and pushed the button again.
"I have an interview in five minutes." He gripped my hand and pressed them into the wall behind me.
"I am sure that he won't mind. Plus, I'll put in a good word for you." I smiled and threw my arms around him.
"Really? Thank you so much." I placed a kiss on his cheek, and he chuckled.
