Standing up, Scarlett came face to face with a strikingly handsome man who held her card in his hand. His short brown hair was slicked back and he wore what looked like a highly expensive suit. Scarlett saw that he looked to have quite a good build on him. Looking to his face she saw him smile at her, his brown eyes wide. Reaching out her hand, Scarlett said, "Yes. I believe that is mine."

The man handed it to her and said, "Scarlett. Lovely name."

Scarlett blushed and looked down nervously. The man gave her another charming smile and said, "Have a nice day." He then walked from her side and over to the elevators.

As Scarlett watched him go inside the elevator with various other men, he turned and smirked at her as the doors closed. What Scarlett didn't see were the various women who worked in the building scowling at her. Snapping out of her stupor, Scarlett walked to the elevators where a short, chubby guard looked up at her.

"Hello there. Card please."

Scarlett handed over the card and waited as the guard inspected it. Smiling he handed it back to her and pushed a button which opened the elevators.

"Welcome to Wayne Enterprises Ms. Williams," he said as she stepped inside the elevator.

"Thank you David," Scarlett said reading the man's nametag. "And please call me Scarlett. Ms. Williams sounds way too formal."

"All right then Scarlett. Now tell me. What is a young girl like you doing going up to Mr. Wayne s penthouse floor," he said teasingly.

Blushing, Scarlett replied, "Well I read about an opening as Mr. Wayne's assistant and seeing as how it seemed like a good opportunity, I called and spoke with Emily. She said there was one opening but it was a high level seeing as how it was an assistant to Mr. Wayne. She said she needed to see me and look over me I guess."

The elevator dinged, signaling they were at the correct floor. The doors slid open and Scarlett walked slowly out but not before turning back to David. "Thank you for your company. You helped calm my nerves a bit."

David smiled and said, "It was a pleasure Scarlett. And may I ask where your accent from is?

"It's French. My mother is French," Scarlett said.

"Well then, Good Luck Scarlett."

The doors then closed leaving Scarlett in what looked like a waiting room. It was decorated in starch white and two hallways led to different parts of the floor. There was glass surrounding her and behind two desks set up with computers to the right and left sides of two white double doors. In the back of the left desk, the glass was see through and you could see other people milling about. Suddenly a redhead walked in and her eyes widened.

"Scarlett I presume," she said. Scarlett smiled and nodded. "Emily I presume."

Emily walked over to her and grabbed her hand, dragging her over to a secluded part of the floor. Dragging her into a door that said Woman, she shoved Scarlett in front of a mirror. Blinking at her appearance, Scarlett frowned when she saw her hair was a mess. Emily smiled and said, "Be glad I saved you before Mr. Wayne saw you. Now fix your hair and straighten up and then come back out to my desk. It is the left one."

With that, she walked out leaving Scarlett to freshen up. Shrugging herself out of her black coat, Scarlett set the heavy thing on the marble counter. Stepping back, Scarlett inspected her outfit. Wearing a dark black pencil skirt with slight ruffle trim, and a white silk charmeuse blouse with delicate trapunto stitching along her shoulders, pockets, and hem across her upper back, Scarlett thought she looked decent. She had gone to her favorite clothing store with her mind set on looking professional. She had on new clothing, down to her new shoes. Black heeled Mary Jane's with patent leather. Last, Scarlett inspected her hair. Her bangs were pulled back by bobby pins and her hair waved naturally, giving it the slept in look that she loved.

Panicking, Scarlett dropped to her bare knees and pulled out her eye glasses. Shoving them on her face, Scarlett dusted off imaginary wrinkles and dust, before smiling to herself, picking up her belongings, and walking out the door. As she walked towards Emily, the redhead pointed towards the chair in front of her. Sitting down, Scarlett put her briefcase in her lap and opened it, pulling out papers that showed her schooling and such. Holding out her hand, Scarlett passed the papers to Emily who flipped through them.

As she waited for Emily to talk to her, Scarlett glanced around the spacious penthouse office of Bruce Wayne. It was nothing like she had expected. Truth be told she expected Emily to be a leggy blonde. Turning back to look at Emily, she saw a smile across her face.

"Well Scarlett, I was impressed with your resume. Studied at NYU with a major in Psychiatry and your minor in English and writing. So why is it that you are not putting those skills to work?"

Glancing to her lap Scarlett said, "Well as of right now I am trying to make it on my own without the help of my parents. I just studied those two things so I could make them happy. But seeing as there were no openings for either of those positions, this was the next best thing."

Emily smiled and stood up. She walked around the side of her desk and passed Scarlett. Walking to the white double doors she knocked on them while Scarlett came to the realization that she might have this job in the bag. A muffled voice yelled back to Emily, to which she replied, "Mr. Wayne, I understand that you are having a conversation with Mr. Fox but I thought you might want to meet your new assistant."

Or not Scarlett thought. Franticly, she began to fix herself up and tried to ignore the sweat coming to her hands. Wiping her palms on her skirt, she stood from the chair as Emily motioned for her to come forward. Scarlett walked slowly over and stopped in front of the doors. As they were about to go in, Emily whirled her around and took the eye glasses from her face and turned her back around. Gripping the door handle tightly, Emily pushed the door open and grabbed Scarlett's arm pulling her inside.

As the two girls walked inside, Scarlett noticed that there were 4 men total in the room. But her eyes widened when she saw the man who had given her back her card only moments ago. He hadn't noticed her yet but when he did, she saw him take a double take at her. Her mouth fell open slightly as Emily began her introduction.

"Gentleman, Mr. Wayne. This is Scarlett Williams and she'll be the new assistant. Next to me of course," Emily said, smiling at the men.

Grabbing Scarlett's arm, Emily led her over to the man who had helped her earlier that day. As they came to a stop, Emily let go of Scarlett's arm.

"Scarlett, this is Bruce Wayne. Owner of Wayne Enterprises. Bruce this is Scarlett."

Scarlett fidgeted nervously as Bruce stood and inspected her. She knew she had to be professional but she couldn't help herself. She looked up at him and smiled. Bruce smiled back and studied her eyes. They were a unique color of blue and green and he noticed how they twinkled. From her slightly tousled ebony locks to her heel clad feet, Bruce could see he was going to have a hard time looking at her as just an assistant. Straightening up and clearing his throat, he said, "She'll do wonderfully."

Nodding firmly, Emily came forward and steered Scarlett back towards the double doors that would lead them out. Bruce and the other men watched them go and as the door closed, Fox turned to Bruce and a smirk came to the older man's face.

"Nice girl," he said.

Bruce nodded and sat back down. He brought his hand to his face and rubbed his tired eyes. Looking back up, he saw Fox still had a smirk on his face.

"What," he said.

"She'll do wonderfully. A beautiful girl that finally made you flabbergasted."

Bruce blanched and said, "She's just an assistant. That's all she's going to be."

Shaking his head, Fox turned and walked over to the double doors and prepared to open the door. Before he could leave, Bruce said, "Fox."

Fox turned and looked at him, a questioning look on his face.

"What did you think of her," Bruce said.

Fox looked out of the doors which allowed the viewer inside to see the people outside. He looked at the young woman who had just been hired. As he did so, Bruce came up behind him and also looked out at Scarlett, who by this point had shaken Emily's hand and was now about to walk out the door. Before she did, she turned and looked back towards the double white doors before she turned and began to walk out. Knowing she couldn't see him, Bruce shifted his weight from one foot to another in order to get a better look at her retreating back.

Fox looked over to his friend and upon seeing Bruce trying to get a better look at the girl, he deliberately pushed the door open, causing Scarlett to turn back around and see the billionaire and his friend standing there staring at her. Giggling at Bruce's surprised face, Scarlett shook her head and walked out the door.

"Just an assistant," Fox said, as he walked out the door without another word. Bruce rolled his eyes and looked over at Emily, who had an amused look on her face.

"Not a word Emily," Bruce said, shutting the doors.

With the doors shut, Bruce turned back around and walked back to his desk. The image of Scarlett's smiling face imprinted in his mind.
