Jenny's fourth day was a training day offsite. I felt like my old self again, challenging my team to do better work on a new campaign, and even closing a new client who had been delaying making a decision for several months. Of course, I did think of Jenny...especially her smooth white legs and her sexy smirk, but I was able to shake it off, even laugh as I told myself that I surely could handle an intern half my age.
The one small challenge I had was at the end of the day when I had a meeting with Bob and Val. It was all business, and Val was dressed quite conservatively, but as Bob went on about the need to keep travel expenses down for the quarter, Val took her bare foot out of one shoe and started to stretch her toes. I noticed how tiny Val's feet were and the french manicure that carefully framed each toe.
Suddenly I looked up at her and realized she had seen me staring at her toes and I jerked my head back up, heart beating fast. Did she know what happened yesterday with Jenny? Her face gave no sign, but I quickly ended the meeting. God, this new intern was really playing tricks with my head.
Friday was casual day and when I saw Jenny, I realized she had taken full advantage, wearing a simple sundress, minimal make-up and a pair of flip-flops. She looked even younger than her years and fresh as could be.
