Connor

He closed his new office door behind him and breathed in the scent of freshly-arrived mahogany. Connor couldn’t lie to himself—the office of the Trezor COO was sweet. He fell into the hand-stitched leather executive chair, breathed in the rich scent, and spun it around. He felt like a kid at Christmas. Or at least what he figured normal kids felt like at Christmas. His holidays had usually been spent vacationing in Saint-Tropez while hired nannies watched him and Sean.

Everything his father did was top notch. It was one of his few good qualities. The new Trezor building, just erected four years ago, had been designed by a contemporary architect under the watchful eye of his father. The tallest building in the up-and-coming area, it featured nothing but black glass and industrial steel piping.

It was a monster, and now Connor was at the top of it. Peering down from the eighteenth story, Washington, DC, looked like a miniature of a town. You can own this town if you play your cards right.

The corner office was opposite his father’s and offered stunning views. “Mr. Harris?” His newly assigned personal assistant poked his head in. James was dressed in a bright seersucker suit with brown and white Oxford shoes. “Your father asked me to go over today’s itinerary with you.”

Connor sighed. “Yeah, James, come on in.” He was well aware of why his father had hand-selected a male assistant for him. His father didn’t want any kind of office sex scandal marring the family name.

“It’s a busy day!” James said, settling into the heavy wooden and leather chair across from Connor. “I’ve also synced your calendar with mine and scheduled pop-up reminders at forty-minute increments along with GPS instructions when applicable.”

“You’re certainly… efficient,” Connor said.

“Thank you, sir,” James said. “At eight o’clock, so in one hour, you have a meeting with GQ Magazine. At eleven there’s a short meet and greet with Forbes. Then you have a lunch meeting at 1789 Restaurant with Entrepreneur—their veal sweetbreads are to die for if you haven’t had them yet—then, at two—”

“Whoa, whoa, this is all today?” Connor asked. “And why GQ? This is all to discuss security business?”

“Well… not exactly,” James said. “Your father thinks it’s prudent to take advantage of your Navy experience, try and get some photo shoots going to make a big splash about your joining the company.”

“SEALs,” Connor corrected him.

“Excuse me?”

“I was a SEAL, not just in the Navy. And I’m the Chief Operations Officer, not a goddamned male model.”

“Could have fooled me, sir,” James said.

“Look, James, I’m guessing you have my entire life scheduled on my calendar for weeks out, right?”

“Everything that’s been booked so far, sir, yes,” he said. “Although I must say, your father is ordering new appointments nonstop, so I don’t encourage you to consider your calendar set in stone by any means.”

“Right,” Connor said. “Can you just give me a few minutes? I’d like to look over my calendar in private if you don’t mind.”

“Certainly, sir. I’ll be back in twenty minutes to escort you to your first appointment.
