It is a particularly busy day at the Law Offices of Lewis, Smith, and Bates. Katrina has two depositions to finish and Abby hasn't stopped talking to her since she walks in. Something about the man she bumped into at the receptionist area this morning. Kat nods at the appropriate times to make her friend think she's listening.
"So I just heard from Eleanor that Mr. Mikaelson is still meeting with Lewis Sr. about a will he wants drafted. Gosh you should have seen his lips. They are deep red and those eyes... " She gushes uncontrollably. "Oh I thought they were brown at first but at a closer look they are dark blue. Oh Kat, I've never met a man like him." Abby turns to her friend who is frantically typing away. "You have got to stop typing and take a peek at him." She picks up a manila folder, "Here take this to Mr Lewis' office." Katrina looks up, about to tell her friend something, when Mr. Lawrence Lewis Senior walks out of his office with his new client. People stop what they are doing and focus their attention on the two of them. A gasp escapes from Katrina. There he is, holding himself like an arrogant king. The power that radiates from his lean body makes him look lethal. Like a beast on the prowl for his next prey. It's her rescuer! The six secretaries are be spelled by him. Mr. Lewis introduces him to his paralegals, "Abby, this is Mr. Klaus Mikaelson. He is our new client and a very wealthy one at that." Mr. Lewis says with much enthusiasm. "Oh it is such a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mikaelson." Abby says in an unusually high pitched voice, clearly taken aback by his charms.
A crooked smile appears on Klaus' face. Klaus steps closer to greet the squeaky paralegal. He notices a woman to her right. Turning to look at the woman, he recognizes the heart-shaped face. She's dressed in a dark blue suit with a skirt stopping below her knees. Her hair put in a tight bun. Underneath the plain getup is the natural beauty who took his breath away at city hall . "Hello Luv." He turns his attention towards her. "Ahh, this is Ms. Leigh." Mr. Lewis introduces Katrina to Klaus, hinting at her less favorable marital status. Klaus extends his hand while Katrina hesitantly shakes it. Blatantly showing his interest, Klaus ignores the brown nosing lawyer next to him and says, "It's a pleasure to meet you Ms. Leigh."
Katrina's knees feel weak. She's never met a man like him. "The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Mikaelson." Not letting her hand slip away, Klaus turns on his charm, "Call me Klaus." "Katrina." She looks into his blue eyes and says nervously. He finally lets her hand slip away and she sits back down at her desk while the two men continue to greet the rest of the office. Trying to calm her heartbeat, Katrina deep breathes. Abby is saying something to her but she cannot understand the words coming out of her mouth. Meeting Klaus Mikaelson shakes her to her core.
