She was sat at her desk, trying to complete the task that her employer Kit Renton had set her when the buzzer for the front door sounded.
"Briony, go get that will you?" Kit shouted from his office door at the other end of the room. With a sigh, she got out of her seat, walked over to the wall and pressed the button on the intercom.
"Hello?" She said. Why do I have also have to answer the door? She thought to herself angrily; she had other work to do!
"Police" A deep voice answered her. Her heart instantly jumped at the gruffness of it. I hope the face matches the voice, she thought to herself devilishly.
She pressed another button and the door downstairs opened. She made her way over to the banister and leant over.
"Hello Police" she called, waiting for them to see her. "Do you have ID?" She asked, smirking when she saw that the face did indeed match the voice.
She bent one of her legs so that her hip stuck out, moving her chest back and forth slightly.
"He's Lewis, and I'm Hathaway" Mr. Deep Voice answered. Hathaway. She set the name to memory and silently vowed to find out his first name as well.
"And I'm Briony. Come up." She said, smiling brightly at Hathaway, no eyes for the older man.
She waited for them at the top of the stairs and when they reached her, she led them through to the offices, exaggerating the sway of her hips.
"So this is the Barker dot Biz" Said the other man, Lewis. She stuck her hands in her pockets and pushed her chest out slightly, glancing over her shoulder at Hathaway who was looking around the desks curiously.
"Global HQ. Offices in Cambridge, London, Manchester." She said, annoyed that Lewis was asking the questions instead of Hathaway.
"Not Newcastle?" Lewis enquired.
"No not yet. Why is that where you're from?" She asked politely, trying to stop herself looking back at Hathaway.
"Only sins" Lewis joked slightly.
"Your sins are forgiven." She said, walking over to her desk.
"Do you work here?" He finally spoke, looking at her expectantly.
"Well really I'm studying PP at St Jude's," She said, clasping her hands in front of her, and squeezing her breasts together with her arms, "but a girl's gotta pay the bills" She exclaimed with another bright smile.
She looked at Lewis, but from the corner of her eye she noticed Hathaway's eyes travel down her body and then up again. She turned her smile onto him, smirking ever so slightly. They locked eyes for a few seconds. "So…?" Briony asked, snapping Hathaway out of his frozen state.
"So," he said, looking down at his feet to hide his slight blush at being caught staring at her, before looking back into her eyes, "Professor Thornton's private video tape of the Barker website." He stated, noticing her squirm uncomfortably under their scrutinizing gaze.
"Care to tell us how that happened?" Lewis pushed, also noticing Briony's discomfort. She stumbled over how to answer before Kit thankfully saved her.
"Don't worry Briony, I've got this one." Kit said, not looking up from his game of table football. She let out a large breath she didn't realize she was holding before smiling at the two Detectives.
Then she took her cue as Lewis's inquiries were redirected onto Kit to go back to her desk. She could feel Hathaway's eyes on her as she walked away so she swayed her hips a little more than usual.
"Bacon, that's funny. Original." She heard Hathaway telling Kit sarcastically.
She glanced over her shoulder to watch the unfolding events, her eyes landing on Hathaway's back before heading downwards, appraising him from head to foot, and stopping somewhere halfway.
Nice, she thought, smirking one last time before turning back to her work. She let herself have one last glance at Hathaway's backside as he sauntered out of the offices, having just questioned Kit for 5 minutes.
