Chapter 24: Adam

I would normally send a woman flowers after a date, but flowers seemed like too much and too little at the same time.

Too much because I was aware that she didn’t want to attract attention to our extracurricular relationship. Plus, getting her to agree to a second date was a big enough victory that I didn’t want to risk blowing it with unwelcome romantic gestures.

Too little because it’s what I would do for any woman, and she meant so much more to me than the other women I’d sent flowers to. She deserved something as unique as she was.

To say I was overjoyed when I thought of the perfect thing would be an understatement, and I’d just chosen the words for the gift card and clicked overnight delivery when I heard a knock on the door.

“Come in,” I said, closing the tab on my laptop as soon as I saw the confirmation that my order was complete.

“Hello,” Gia said, ducking her head in. “Are you ready for me?”

I glanced between the clock and the spreadsheet on my desk. “Of course. Please have a seat.”

She teetered in on high heels, clutching a manila folder to her chest.

“Thanks so much for coming,” I said. “I’ve been looking forward to seeing what you’ve come up with.”

She smiled and sat down, scooting a chair right up to the opposite side of my desk. “When you first mentioned the assignment, I was worried that I didn’t have any other interests,” she said. “But once I started looking, it was hard to narrow down all the things I got excited about.”

“That’s great,” I said, folding my hands in front of me. “That’s the whole point of this exercise.”

She batted her dark lashes.

“I know there are a lot of ways to run a business, but I don’t want to be one of those bosses that’s so naïve as to reduce the people I work with to whatever their main job description is. I’ve found that the more you encourage people to grow and the more challenged they feel at work, the happier they are.”

“Well,” she said, shifting in her seat to cross her legs. “Everyone who’s met with you so far has been really excited so you must be doing something right.”

I nodded. “Good. Let’s get started then shall we?”

“Okay.”

“First- just so I understand your main responsibilities at the minute,” I said, flipping through a binder on my desk. “Your regular duties include managing reception, concierge services, taking orders for room service, and assisting in the interview process for the housekeeping department. Correct?”

“Yes,” she said. “And I don’t want you to think I don’t love those things when I show you how far out the other jobs I liked are.”

“Not to worry,” I said. “Lay it on me.”

“I like to work out,” she said, opening her folder and laying out a job post she printed off the internet. “I always thought I’d make a good fitness instructor.”

“Are you familiar with water aerobics?” I asked.

She shook her head.
