“Thanks.” A moment later, she tapped on Stephanie’s open door.

Stephanie chatted to her a bit about benefits and company policies, then sent her to the reception area to fill out a pile of forms—for payroll, insurance benefits, taxes, et cetera. An hour later, she finished the last one and walked back to Reception and handed Gina the folder of paperwork.

“Great. Stephanie asked me to take you up to your new office once you’re done.” Gina stood up and led Jessica to the elevator. Butterflies danced through her stomach as she realized that in a few moments she would be at her new desk and would be meeting her new boss.

The ride up the elevator seemed too fast and suddenly the doors opened to a new floor. The décor was a notch up from the Human Resources offices. Actually, several notches up. The chairs in the waiting area were of rich, warm brown leather and the carpets plush carpeting. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows along one wall gave a spectacular view of the city below.

Gina led her across the large reception area. There were several closed doors, all rich red, cherry wood.

Melanie sat at an elegant desk in the corner. She smiled as soon as she saw Jessica.

“Hi, Melanie. Is he in?” Gina asked.

“Yes, go ahead in.”

The butterflies in Jessica’s stomach became more agitated. She was working for a high-level executive?

Gina tapped on the door and a deep muffled voice inside said, “Come in.”

Gina pushed open the door and stepped inside, Jessica on her heels. “Mr. Ranier, this is Jessica Long your new assistant.”

Jessica was in awe, gazing around at the lush office with its rich mahogany wood bookshelves, leather chairs, and expensive-looking artwork on the walls.

“Good morning, Miss Long.”

At the familiar voice, Jessica’s gaze jolted to the man sitting behind the impressive desk by the huge window overlooking the city. Her stomach tightened.

There sat the man she’d had a torrid one-night stand with. Her cheeks burned at the memory. Oh, God, he couldn’t be her new boss.
