Brian arrived at work late, which was not all that uncommon for him. Tossing a few Good Mornings and Hey Theres off to fellow workers at Endershot Foshion, he headed up the stairs to his office. The job was a good one: personal assistant to Roya Malek, a very attractive sales and customer service manager.
As he stepped off the last of the stairs and headed for the office suite he worked in, he saw Roya (Ms. Malek) at the end of the hallway in discussion with a sales rep. Noticing movement, she glanced up at him and frowned once before returning to her associate.
