It was 6:45am as Sabrina glanced at her wall clock on her way out the door. She was going to be late for her new temporary assignment, which is unusual for her. As she locked her apartment door she gave old lady Hendricks a wave then ran to the elevator. Smiled at the gorgeous Italian in apartment 612 as she opened her car door. As she drove through the slow moving morning traffic, she tried to think of a believable lie that would help her keep this assignment. After five years of going from one company to another she finally had the chance to become permanent. Being late on her first day wasn't a very good impression.
By the time she parked her car it was 7:15 on her watch. She entered the building out of breath and her mind racing with worry. "Can I help you, ma'am?" the guard asked as she approached the Information Desk.
"Yes, sir. I'm looking for Jackson & Harvey." He pointed towards the elevator and instructed her to get off on the 16th floor, "Thank you very much."
Her heart began to beat louder and faster as she reached the 16th floor. The office wasn't as big as she expected and unusually quiet compared to what she was use to. The lady at the front desk looked at her from the top of her glasses, "May I help you?"
"Ummm. My name is Sabrina Wilson. I was sent here by the Office Experts Agency." She knew she was sounding extremely nervous. It matched the butterflies that filled her stomach.
The mature blond haired lady looked at her as if she had a bad taste in her mouth, "Oh, yes. Please have a site while I let Mr. Jackson know you're here."
Sabrina sat on the green flowered couch and waited patiently. She could hear a man's deep and powerful voice in the office behind her. Not only did it surprise her, but also it mesmerized her. "Send her in, Linda." He paused to clear his throat, "She's here now. I will give you a call back shortly about my decision."
"Miss Wilson!" The lady said loudly. Sabrina didn't realize just how much her mind drifted off to this man's voice, "Mr. Jackson will see you now. The office right behind you."
Sabrina smiled at the lady and arose from the couch. Afraid of what was in store for her she walked slowly to the open office door. There sat a gray-haired man with a full beard and a look on his face that would intimidate anyone. "Please come in, Miss Wilson and close the door behind you." He leaned back in his leather chair and folded his hands across his obviously broad chest.
As Sabrina obeyed his instructions she couldn't help but notice just how attractive this older man was. Nor could she deny how his thunderous voice made her sexually aroused. He continued his intimidating gaze as she sat down holding her purse tightly to her side as she sat down slowly. The room was uncomfortably quiet and she became more afraid.
