Virginia heard her phone ring as she brushed her teeth. She gargled and spat before picking up, already knowing who was on the other side of the line. "Hey Saydie", she said cheerily, walking out of the bathroom.

"Ginny! How was it? Tell me, tell me!" Saydie squeaked across the line.

Rolling her eyes, Virginia feigned cluelessness. "How was what?"

"Come on, Ginny. Stop pretending. You know what. Did you see him? Is he as hot as he is in the magazines?"

"Well-" She was cut off mid-sentence

"No. Wait wait wait. Mom just got back. She's gonna want to hear this," groaning, Virginia shook her head. She could picture her little sister jumping up and down as she eager screamed for her mother to come over.

"Hi, Honey." She heard her mother greet her.

She smiled. "Hey, Mum. How are you?"

She heard shuffling before her sister's voice broke across the line again, "Oh, I'm good honey. Have you had dinner? Yes, mom. Thanks. That's great, honey. How was your day? ENOUGH already. You're on speaker. Stop stalling and tell us. How was it? And IS HE HOT?!"

Virginia chuckled at her sister's exasperation. "Okay, okay I'll tell you. I got my desk assigned to me, and my boss, Ms Judy Philman, led me around the office. You know, showing me around, introducing me to people. That's when I met…"

"Uh huh, keep going"

"Nick."

"NICK?!" her sister spat.

"Yeah, Nick." She replied, smirking. She knew that was not the person her sister wanted to hear about. "He's a really cute guy from legal. He even brought me out to lunch at break time"

"Wait, so you didn't meet him?"

"Meet who?" She asked, acting clueless. She could hear her mother laughing at the end of the line.

"Who? Who? WHO?" her sister's aggravation was growing.

"Come on, honey. Stop teasing your sister." Her mother's light voice playfully berated her.

"I'll tell you WHO!" her sister started up again. "Tony Stark, the God of all things hot, and smart, and dreamy, and sexy"

As her voice trailed off, Virginia could almost see her sister drooling onto the kitchen counter. "Oh him!" She exclaimed a bit too loudly. "No, I didn't meet Mr Stark"

"You didn't?" her sister voice sounding more disappointed by the second.

"Of course not, Saydie. He's the CEO, and I'm just an accounting clerk in one of his lower offices. He doesn't go out of his way to meet every single one of his employees. I'm sorry" Virginia tried to sound comforting, but she knew her sister was really hoping she would meet Tony Stark. Like most girls, her sister had a huge celebrity crush on the dreamy eyed genius.

"Oh. Well, in that case, I've got homework to do. I'll pass the phone to mom. See ya."

"Bye, Saydie." She replied, flopping down on her pillow.

"So, this Nick boy, he sounds nice" her mother egged her on. She smiled contentedly and began describing her first day at work at Stark Industries, and the attractive young intern from the legal department.
