“That plan was a fluke–I’ve never seen it,” lied David through his teeth, hoping to dodge a bullet.
Internally, he was praying like mad. “Dear God–anyone up there–send me an angel to fend off the boss‘ wrath, will you?”
As he braced himself to look Walter in the eye, the steady knock on the office door cut through the silence like a drumbeat. David’s eyes sparkled with hope.
Could it be? Was there power in a silent wish?
Walter, clearly miffed at the interruption, barked at the unseen visitor, “Enter!”
As the door swung open, a pair of sleek black high heels made quite the entrance, Minnie, the office bombshell, strutted in. Her cobalt blue suit hugged her figure perfectly, radiating a vibe that was anything but uptight. She was the epitome of cool and collected,
David could not help but stare, dazzled.
Minnie! She was like a gift from the universe–absolutely perfect!
Before Walter could even get a word in, David jumped at the chance to escape. “Boss, Ms. Kast is here. She’s probably got something important for you, so I’ll just… Yeah, I’ll get out of your way,” he stammered, beating a hasty retreat.
Another figure darted from the office. This time, it was David, Walter’s right–hand man, making a break for

In a place where everyone was aware of each individual’s business, delivering papers to Walter was a job
no newcomer would get. However, with Walter in full–on dragon mode, the secretaries were too chic

Gossip was the office’s favorite sport. As David bolted past the secretaries, he could feel their eyes on him, hungry for the next juicy bit. They were all in on the action he wished he could join, but did not dare
- to.
While the secretaries waited with bated breath, the office beyond was eerily quiet as if the calm before a
storm
Minnie set the stack of papers she was delivering on Walter’s desk with a flourish, standing off to the side with poise. Her smile was as sweet as candy as she asked, “Mr. Walter Gordon, here are the documents you asked for. Everything look okay? If there’s anything off, I can fix it in a flash.”
In the secretarial pool, there was this unspoken dream everyone shared, and that was to be the one who could catch the eye of the big boss. Even a short–lived fling with the CEO was a prize worth chasing.
Walter already got a ring on his finger, and the chances of anyone becoming the next Mrs. Gordon are thinner than a lottery ticket. However, a brief moment in the spotlight with the man himself was the real Jackpot.
Minnie had the brains and the looks, and she rocketed into the secretarial squad as an intern. Everyone

was jealous of her, so they had her cooped up in the office, buried in busywork, far from the executive
suite.
However, this day was different. She got the call to bring papers right to Walter’s office.
She was not blind to the jealous whispers, but Minnie did not care. Getting close to Walter was her golden ticket, and she would do whatever it took, especially now that he was this hard to approach.
“Not bad. You secretaries always deliver. That’s one thin
