Chapter 14

"Shit," I muttered, it was almost time for the meeting. If I was late, I'd be in the shit with Yorkie later.
The elevator seemed to move slower and slower and the clocked ticked by faster and faster. Thank God my notes were ready otherwise I'd be screwed. I just had to hope Ms. Swan knew what she was doing. The last thing I needed was to cover for someone who only got the job because her step-father knew Jake. The last assistant Yorkie employed had been as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Nice to look at or not, if she was useless then Swan would be out of here as quickly as she arrived. Yorkie was a tough guy to please.
I sighed impatiently as the elevator stopped and someone else got on. She squeezed into the space beside me and I chuckled…she looked like a kid; barely up to my shoulder and seriously in need of some calories. It was the chick from accounting…some name that sounded like alcohol; Ginny, Margarita...something like that.
I'd never spoken to her myself, in fact, if you were to believe the office gossips, she hadn't mixed with anyone else from the company. Keeping herself to herself hadn't helped her escape being the subject of a lot of speculation, because rumour had it she had gotten very friendly with her very married boss. I kinda felt for her, if it was a load of shit, then she was getting bitched about for nothing. Then again, even if it was true, it really wasn't anybody's business—takes two to tango after all.
Ginny or whatever she was called got off the elevator and I didn't miss the snide looks she got from one or two others. That was the problem in this place, too many nosy assholes who can't keep a damn thing to themselves. Artera and Black had never tried to stop their staff getting personally involved, but why the hell would you want to? I'd never gone down that road and I never would. Imagine if you started something and then it all went sour? Imagine that atmosphere? No thank you very much. I doubt any woman would be worth that kind of hassle.
Then the elevator doors opened and I came face to face with a woman who was most definitely worth the hassle.
Ms. Swan.
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
More tomorrow. Happy Friday!
