Ch.3
Buffy stared at the papers on her desk. The words blurred and focused again. Buffy shook her head to clear it. *The meetings starting any minute. I should go, do not want to be late to the first meeting with the new boss*. She had met him a few days ago, when she found out Cordelia's last day was Friday. Today was Thursday. Buffy felt a lot better now, 3 hours after she got to work. She could sort of remember what happened, but refused to think about it until she got home. But she couldn't get that man, William, out of her head. She got up, pushed some papers around until she found the desired file, and tucked it under her arm. She left her office at brisk pace and walked down the long hallway to the meeting room. Knocking once, she entered the room. She saw the first empty seat and sat down in it. At that point she chanced a look around the table, and noticed that all the heads of departments where there. Willow, as head of the med department, was sitting to her right, three seats away. Next to her was Alexander, head of security. He and Willow have known each other since grade school. Buffy looked up to the head of the table, and found the new boss sitting in the head chair, with Cordelia standing behind his right shoulder. Realization hit Buffy when she remembered the man who had walked her to work that day. No wonder he looked so familiar. He was, except for his hair and eyes, a very similar, younger version of her new boss. *Why do I get the feeling this is not a good thing?*, Buffy asked herself, still staring at her new boss. She realize what she was doing and quickly looked away, busying herself with some of her papers.*What if they're related? No, that's not possible, so stop worrying!* Buffy took a big calming breath and took out her notebook. She started to pay attention to what was being said. It looked like Cordelia was just sitting back, observing what was being said by the new boss. "Now, I hope we can all get along well, and do our work efficiently and, uhh..properly", the new guy was saying in a thick British accent. *Looks like he's pretty uptight*Buffy commented to herself. *at least he's better than Cordelia. Boy am I glad she's getting married* The meeting soon progressed from there, but Buffy was zoning out from there. She couldn't get William out of her mind. *Why cant I stop thinking about him? I should have done something instead of just saying goodbye. Maybe asked for his number. He was pretty good look--* Buffy was shaken out of her thought process. "Buffy, Everything OK?" Willow asked in a concerned voice. "Oh, uh, yeah," with that Buffy started giving the news on her department. She had recently found out that a group of rare art and book collectors where planning to move their headquarters to the East Coast from England. "I think they call themselves The Watchers Council", Buffy said, looking over her notes.
Soon the meeting was over, and Buffy walked over to her office. When she got there, her secretary, Harmony, said she got a note from some man and that it was on her desk. Wondering who it was from, she went into her office and sat down at her desk. In front of her was an envelope with her name written neatly on top. She opened it, only to find it was from William. She read the letter 3 times to make sure she wasn't misreading it. *Wow. He wants to meet me for dinner to make up for knocking me over. What a gentleman! And he gave me his phone number!* Buffy smiled happily and picked up the phone. A warm feeling settled over her as she thought about him, but there more she thought about it the more she worried herself. *Should I be feeling this way about a man I just met?* Buffy thought to herself. *What does it matter? I need to have some fun don't I?* With that she dialed the phone number and waited for him to pick up. "Hello?" the British voice from the other line answered. "Hi. It's Buffy"
A/N: Sorry it's a cliffhanger but I wanted to update so just be thankful I did. And Review!!! You know you want to..*raises left eyebrow as if to suggest something..
