Elsie walked through the double glass doors after the elevator dropped her to the 43rd floor of the building. Her eyes dotted around the luxury design. It had been her first time up on the top floor. Was she in trouble? Why would Carlos Kincade want to even see her? Or why would his secretary want to see her?

She was on fire. Every area of her body pulsed and pounded with heated anxiety. She felt weak in her knees.

Oh, God! A thought struck her like lightning. She wasn’t wearing her panties. She’d meant to replace her wet pair but didn’t have time, so she threw it in her purse hoping she could buy a pair in the lingerie department on the fourth floor. Oh, boy was she ever a screw up now. She approached the receptionist who was busy typing on her laptop. The woman with long silky blond hair and icy blue eyes stared at her.

“You’re Ms Sherwood, I presume?”

“Um…yes.” Elsie voice was soft and low. Boy was she so out of her league being up there. The placed was so executive and looked more like a marble palace with high tech equipment and what looked like expensive art work on the walls. Elsie caught herself slouching her shoulders and squared them immediately.

The blond woman picked up the phone and said “She’s here. You’re welcome.” She then held her head down and started typing on her keypad. “You may take a seat, Ms Sherwood,” she said without looking up.

Talk about hospitality.

“Ah, there you are, Ms Sherwood,” a jolly round-faced woman with white hair approached her with her hand stretched out.

“Hi,” Elsie said sheepishly. She desperately wanted to ask her what the heck was going on and why was she called up here? She should be back in the boardroom auditioning for full time work in the Home Pleasures department. Not here.

“I will take you to see Mr. Kincade now. How was your morning so far?”

“Oh, it was fine thank you,” Elsie lied politely.

“Good,” the woman said almost on autopilot before Elsie finished talking as she marched forward without paying much mind to Elsie.

Elsie could only guess that Mr. Kincade works everybody extremely hard up there. No time for fun or games. Or slacking off. Her heart pounded harder in her chest. She desperately wanted to find the nearest exit.

When Marsha knocked on the door, a deep, silky voice answered. “Enter.”

Elsie noticed there were cameras everywhere. She’d known how to recognize them because a guy she’d once dated worked in a nanny cam store where they’d built hidden cameras that were so discreet you’d never know they were there.

“Thank you Miss…” Elsie had already forgotten the woman’s last name.

Marsha’s face suddenly iced up and she went stone cold before turning to Elsie. “That’s Mister,” she or he said before walking off.

Elsie took a deep breath. Her day was getting weirder by the moment. That’s what one got for trying out for such an unusual job like the one she’d applied for.
