A/N: I restarted the story because I wasn't liking how the other one was going.

Chris got out of the cab and looked at the address on the house, happy that she found the right place immediately. Her aunt, Elizabeth McCord, had asked her to come out to Washington D.C. when she became Secretary of State and offered her a job to work for her, an offer Chris couldn't refuse. She looked at her phone and saw it was late at night, or early in the morning, depending on the way you looked at it.

She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell, hoping they had gotten her message that there was a delay with her plane. She smiled when she saw her aunt open the door.

"Chris! I'm so happy you're here," she said hugging her niece.

"Sorry to be getting here so late. There was a delay with the plane in New York and by the time we took off, I didn't think it was worth you guys coming to the airport so late. I got here in no time by cab."

Elizabeth helped Chris with her bags, "It's no trouble. We're just so glad you're here. And Stevie's so excited to be sharing a room with you."

Chris was nine years older than Stevie but they were close growing up. "I'm excited too. It's been so long since I've seen any of my cousins."

"And they've missed you too. I'm sure you're tired after the flight though. Tomorrow I'll take you to the office so you can meet everyone and see how everything's done. You'll be working besides my assistant Blake. There's so much paperwork involved that you're going to be a great help."

Chris smiled, "And thank you so much for this opportunity to work here with you." Elizabeth showed her to Stevie's room. She was exhausted and just wanted to get to sleep.

The next morning Chris got ready and left to go to the office with Elizabeth. "This is going to be your desk. The others should be coming in soon."

"Thanks," she smiled as she went to get her desk ready before the other workers showed up. She was looking around to see where the other rooms were, when everyone started to walk around. She wasn't paying attention walking back to her desk when she walked in to someone. "I'm…I'm so sorry," she said looking at the guy she bumped into.

He looked down at her and smiled, "Don't worry about it. You're the new girl aren't you? Madame Secretary's niece."

"That's me," she smiled. "I'm Chris."

"I'm Blake, nice to meet you," he said shaking her hand.

"Blake? My aunt told me about you. We're going to be working together."

Blake smiled, "Yes we are. Well, I'll see you later," he said walking to his desk.

Chris didn't know what came over her as she watch him walk over to his desk. She realized she would be working right across from him and wondered how would she be able to ever keep her eyes off of him.

Elizabeth went over to Chris, "Come on I want you to meet everyone," she said brining her to her office. Chris walked in and saw everyone standing inside as she kept to herself her excitement seeing Blake in there. Chris met Nadine, Daisy, Matt, Jay, and Blake once again. Elizabeth looked at the two of them, "You guys met already?"

"Funny story, I actually bumped into him earlier by accident," Chris laughed.

"Well I know the two of you will get along just fine," she smiled. "Alright everyone, I just wanted you guys to meet my niece but now it's time to get back to work."
