Walter had just put the final flourish on a contract when he grabbed the list of new names and flipped to the end to sign off. As his pen danced across the page, he shot a question over his shoulder. 

“So, how many fresh faces are joining us as interns? Got any standouts?” Walter asked. 

David, who had been Walter’s right–hand man for years, knew what he meant. He had the information ready, just waiting for the cue. “We’ve got five new interns this year. One is a real jack–of–all–trades and shines bright in the bunch. You know we’ve got that gap in the secretarial pool? HR is buzzing about grooming this star. If they catch your eye, boss, they’re in.” 

The HR chief was one of Trey’s crew, an unbiased man who acted lawfully and abidingly. That was w when Walter was removing Trey’s people from the group, he kept this gem on board. 

Walter’s eyebrow raised. “Impressing that old coot is no walk in the park. Who’s the kid?” 

He fanned out the employee files he had, looking for a clue, but his gaze landed on a face he knew all too 

well. 

Minnie? 

David was just parroting what the HR newbie had blurted out in a flurry, so he was not sure about the 

name. 

C 

“They said it’s Minnie, I think. The new secretary was all over the place, juggling a million things. Could’ve 

gotten it wrong…” 

David’s pulse kicked up a notch. Walter was not one to nitpick, except when it came to business–that was where he was a stickler for the nitty–gritty. 

It was David’s knack for paying great attention to detail that had him outlast five other contenders to stay 

in Walter’s orbit. 

“You got it right.” 

Walter’s lips curled into a sly grin, his eyes twinkling with mischief. 

He was a natural charmer, with a face so finely chiseled that it seemed like a work of art. That grin of his only added to his air of superiority, The brightness was so intense that it demanded constant attention. 

David had always known their boss was a knockout, but a tiny slip–up at work had him rattled by that teasing smile, making his heart do a weird little flip–flop. 

He watched as his boss’s fingers danced over five resumes, pausing on the snapshot of a stunning girl. 

“I should’ve guessed who’d get such compliments from the old man. If it’s her, well, that figures.” 

“Mr. Walter Gordon, you know her?” David’s voice perked up, hoping familiarity might ease his worry. 

“Not just know her. I’m rather close with her.” 

Walter flung the resume onto his desk, slouching back in his chair with a nonchalant air as he drummed 

his fingers. “David, if you can’t even catch a name, you’ve got some leveling up to do in the work department!”
