"Y'know, it's too bad that you're not my secretary."
"What?" Alex snapped angrily, glaring up from the report she had been pouring over. Gene was standing in front of her desk with his hands placed on its edge.
"Jackie. She thought you were my typist? My secretary? I'm just saying: it's too bad that you're not."
"What a ridiculous thing to say you - sexist bastard!"
His eyes briefly flickered down to her lips. "Its just, y'know, like in the movies and stuff. If you were my secretary, you'd probably shag me."
Alex's mouth opened slightly in surprise. It wasn't that the comment was out of character. It was just that she had thought this particular conversation was going to be about her being incompetent. Even though he had been leaning over her, hot breath on her face, she had expected her thoughts to be ones of anger - not, well, those thoughts.
Before she could muster the presence of mind to give a witty retort he'd turned his back on her and headed towards his office. He was infuriating! So nonchalant! Well, this was certainly not over. She would have the last word. SHE would walk away from HIM while HIS mouth was agape!
