When we got into the office, Colt immediately went into business mode, all traces of teasing and cockiness wiped from his voice.

“Here,” he said, placing a cell phone down and a ten dollar bill down on the desk in front of me.

I picked it up. “What’s this?”

“Your phone.”

“My phone?”

“Yes. You need a phone if you’re going to be working here. So that I can reach you.”

“Why can’t you just reach me on the office phone?” I picked up the cell and felt its lightness in my hand. It was a shiny new iPhone, gun-metal grey and beautiful. I’d never had a phone so nice. I’d had cell phones before -- tracphones and flip phones, the kind of phones that didn’t take pictures and charged for each text message, the kind of phones you had to buy prepaid cards in order to use, the kind of phones that would get broken if you so much as jostled them.

“I might need to get in touch with you after hours,” Colt said.

“Oh.” I ran my fingers over the smooth surface of the phone. “Okay. Well, thank you.”

“Don’t thank me,” he said, making it clear that he wasn’t doing me any favors. “It’s a company phone.”

I nodded. “And the ten dollars?”

“In case you want lunch.”

He sat me down at the computer and showed me how to start entering figures from vendor receipts into spreadsheets. I’d had computer classes in my group home that had taught me how to use all kinds of different programs -- Microsoft Office, Word, Powerpoint, even Quickbooks and Photoshop.

I caught on quickly, and after a few minutes, Colt left me to my own devices. I found the work soothing, the monotony of tapping away on the computer providing my normally racing mind with something to focus on.

Colt was out of the office most of the morning. Every so often I would hear him talking to Jessa as they passed by in the hallway outside, his voice low and gruff, hers loud and flirty.

It was around lunchtime when a man knocked on the open door of the office.

“Oh,” he said when he saw me. “I’m sorry, I’m looking for Colt.”

“I’m not sure where he is,” I said. “I can try to find him if you want.” I started to get up, but the man motioned for me to stay seated.

“That’s okay,” he said, wandering into the office and plopping down in one of the chairs sitting in front of the desk. “I can talk to him later.”

He was about thirty, attractive, with dark blonde hair and a perfectly cut suit.

“Oh,” I said. “Um, okay.”

“Who are you?”

“I’m Olivia,” I said. “I’m Colt’s secretary.”

He grinned. “Secretary, eh? Is that what Colt’s calling them these days?”

Before I could figure out a response, Colt appeared in the doorway. He took in the scene, his eyes darkening into a black storm.

“Joseph,” he said. “What are you doing here?”

“I brought you an offer,” Joseph said, making no move to get up from his chair.

“Not interested,” Colt said, not even bothering to try and hide his annoyance.
