I can’t believe she let me leave the house looking like this. I can’t believe I didn’t bring an alternative outfit for when I realize what a dumb idea this was. However, I can now say for certain that Sigourney Weaver’s advice to Melanie Griffith in Working Girl was brilliant: “Dress shabbily and they notice the dress. Dress impeccably and they notice the woman.” I manage to hold my head up high as I greet everyone during my walk of wardrobe shame, from the entrance to SnapLegal, all the way to my desk. But when I see Chase through the open door to his office, I want to die.

Instead of his usual T-shirt and jeans look, which is still somehow impossibly sexy and appropriate in all situations, he is wearing a white button-down shirt under a dark suit. He must have a lunch or dinner appointment somewhere fancy. His shirt is casually unbuttoned to a point where I can see the top of the tattoo below his clavicle, and he looks so sexy I want to stab myself in the eyes with the pen I’m gripping so I don’t have to look at him.

Whose idea was it to wear dowdy clothes on the day he decides to suit up?

He’s talking on his office phone while leaning against the back of his desk, and when he sees me, he signals to me to join him. He continues talking on the phone, while looking me up and down. If his dick is shriveling up, I can’t tell, because he’s so good at talking to people on the phone in a way that makes them feel like he’s actually giving them his full attention.

“Caleb, let me grab my project manager so we can get her on the phone with you. She’s a lot better at explaining this stuff than I am. Can I put you on hold for a second? Thanks.” He presses the ‘hold’ button and presses the phone to his chest. “I’ve got an important customer here. He was one of the first when we launched. I sent out the email you helped me draft last week—”

“Yeah, you bcc’d me.”

“And he has some concerns about the upcoming changes.”

“Shouldn’t your VP of Sales be dealing with this?”

“I deal with the VIPs directly. Can you give him your pitch?”

“Lemme at him.”

He smirks. “Have a seat,” he says, as he goes around to his own chair.

I take a seat in front of his desk and clear my throat. In the next five minutes, I proceed to give Mr. VIP my patented “this is why subscription services are better for everyone and here’s what we’re going to offer you as a special bonus for being one of the first to sign up” pitch on speakerphone. Chase leans back and watches me, chimes in only when necessary. By the time we hang up, Caleb can’t even wait to switch from on demand à la carte member to annual subscriber of SnapLegal-NYC’s services.

I remain seated and we stare at each other, for what feels like an eternity.
