Julie rushed into her office. She had been in the photocopy room making some copies for her boss when she was paged. She hated not being in the office when Kiki needed her. Julie worked at a fashion magazine and was the executive assistant to one of the editors. Julie was obsessive compulsive and had finally found a career that glorified her issues. She kept Kiki in line and knew exactly what was going on at every moment of the day. Julie turned the corner and practically fainted. Kiki was standing outside her office next to a man. That man was Chad.
Julie was trying to breathe normally. Her mind was spinning. What was Chad doing at her office? Did Chad know where she worked? Was he here to see her? Julie walked quickly and tried to figure out what Kiki's facial expression was telling her. Kiki had a big smile on her face. Normally, she was solemn and serious. This meant she was happy. What was she happy about? Julie finally made it where the two of them were standing.
"Hi, Kiki. I'm sorry I wasn't in my office. I was photocopying the notes for the meeting this afternoon."
"Julie, it's fine. I just wanted you to meet Chad Warren. He'll be officially introduced at the meeting this afternoon, but I thought it would be nice for the two of you to chat beforehand." Julie blinked. She had no idea what Kiki was talking about and this was stressing her out. Had she forgotten to read a memo? She and Kiki had a great relationship so she knew asking wasn't going to get her in trouble.
"I'm sorry. I think I might have missed an email. What will be happening at the meeting this afternoon?"
