Chapter Two: Unexpected Phone Calls
Daniel and Betty had been dating for a couple of weeks now and she was doing her best to keep her professional and personal lives separate, but Daniel was not cooperating at all. Distracting was not a strong enough word to describe him. 'Who was she kidding, she was never very good at keeping the two parts of her life separate either, but come on.' she thought. As her phone played Daniel's ring tone for the third time this morning.
He called her at eight to tell her good morning and he was sorry he couldn't stay longer, but he had an early meeting.
He called her at ten to see if she was taking her break soon. If she was, he thought she ought to know his meeting ended early and his office was currently empty.
He texted her shortly after ten thirty to let her know he thoroughly enjoyed their break.
His current call came in at eleven thirty to ask her about her interview. "Hey Betty, did you see the email about the change of venues."
"Yes, I did. I'm headed to the Closet to go over some changes for the shoot." she replied annoyed that this interviewee had no consideration for anyone else.
"Okay, did you see the staff meeting was moved to four."
"Yes, thanks. I've already got my ideas ready." she responds, knowing he's leading up to something, but not quite sure what.
"So... that means your free for lunch?" he questions.
Ah, she thinks, as she realizes what he wants, "Well, my boss really wanted me to read over this article today before the staff meeting..."
"I'll have you back in plenty of time for that." she can here the smirk in his voice.
"Well I guess I can't say no then." she teases him.
"Hey babe," Daniel said as he lowered his voice an octave, "What are you wearing?" he pauses as he hears her breath hitch. "I only ask for your convenience. I'm hoping it's something with a zipper, cause those buttons yesterday were a time killer."
She smiles and blushes as she quickly said, "Goodbye Daniel." and hung up before he could respond.
"Goodbye Betty," Daniel says to the dial tone as he looks down at his phone and smiles.
A few minutes later she received a text, "You know, it's probably not the best idea for you to hang up on your boss like that. "
She replied, "Please, if that was my boss talking, then I could sue for sexual harassment."
He laughs at her response and leans back in his chair as he gazes out the window. Someone behind him clears her throat and he quickly turns around in his chair. "Mom!" he says surprised to find anyone else in his office.
She knowingly smirks at her son, "Well it's about time." she says as she pats him on the shoulder and walks out of his office.
