Being inside of a large office building with the same old people day after day can wear you down. There were over forty people, each one with their own cubicle and I have my own, large office as CEO. It was a position I inherited after our last man was fired, but the circumstances of which are clouded in office gossip and I was given the position as senior. It was something I leap at because it not only meant higher pay, but also a better position on the ladder. Here at this insurance agency it was a very competitive business but I would rather do business honestly. I had a reputation of being honest, even if that would make our business look uneasy, and there was a great deal of grumbling from others who think I was given the job unfairly, but each day I came in on time and took it seriously making sure to get through the paperwork and use the phone to dial the right people. I was always caught up in business that I did not have time for a relationship, nor even a chance to go out on the town and be with the guys. There was no time as so much was riding on my shoulders and I was playing catch up to what my predecessor left behind.

This morning I came to work and found a three inch stack of papers on my desk and frowned upon it. "Great" I growled "Hanging up my coat behind the door and walking around the desk to look out the bay windows facing the city and its many towering skyscrapers that looked down upon me and wondered how many people would be seeing me. Shoving my hands into my trouser pockets I let out a sigh before going over to the desk and sitting down in the plush, black leather chair and drawing out the first of the papers. More claims and more counter-claims or appeals.

Age: 23
Height: 5'9''
Long dark brown hair, green eyes, slender.

Audrey had only been working with the company for a few months when Darryl had taken over as CEO. She wasn't sure what had happened to cause the sudden replacement but she had heard plenty of rumors. The office was always full of gossip but she tried to keep to herself.

As she sat at her desk she finished a small stack of paperwork that hadn't been completed the day before as another stack of papers where sat down in front of her. Sorting through it she found papers for Mr.Ryder. She gathered them together before heading to his office and knocking on the door.
 
I was barely through the first page when there was a knock on the door. "Come in" I replied but not taking my eyes off the paper as I read. These things were so consuming that my eyes were actually starting to hurt. After a few moments I let the paper down and blinked several times to clear my eyes where I saw Audrey enter with more papers in her hands. I didn't know her that well because of the business, even though we sat close together in the cubicles, but it was refreshing to have a warm face to look at other than the small font on papers. "Yes, Ms. Tyler," I said keeping it rather formal in the office, "What can I do for you?" though in my mind I was begging, 'please, no more paperwork'. I didn't want to develop carpel tunnel before I reached 30.
 
"I just have some more paperwork for you..." She said noticing all the work already piled on his desk "but I could help out and do some of it." She said "if you don't mind. I don't have too much to do today." Smiling she looked over the work in her hands "if I come across anything I can't handle I'll let you know. I'd be happy to help out though. "
 
He flicked his eyes at her then slowly at the paperwork arrayed around him Darryl relented and looked around for an extra seat, "Sure thing, Ms Tyler. I would appreciate the extra help," giving a gentle smile. If they could get through this stack before lunch then his day would be rather open, and maybe he would be able to sneak out early.

It would be a nice change to have some of the extra help to get through the grind, he thought, than trying to do it himself. "You'll have to fetch another chair and come sit across from me," he said as there wasn't a place behind the desk for the two of them to sit side by side as they would have their knees banging into the brass knob drawers.
 
Audrey quickly found a chair and took a set across from him getting to work. Getting through some of the simpler things first she got through quite a bit before she found something she wasn't sure how to do. "I don't understand this one... Would you mind helping?" She asked looking over at mr. Ryder "if you aren't too busy..."
 
"Not at all" he replied lowering his own papers before leaning forward over the table to find out what it was that was troubling her. He blinked several times to clear his eyes once again to read the small font. "I do wish they increase the font on these things," he grumbled aloud, "I don't want to lose my eye sight before I reach thirty and have carpel tunnel as well," giving a chuckle hoping that she would feel the same way, after all, she was younger but still faced the same gruelling trend here as well as he. In leaning over he could catch a slight whiff of her perfume, it wasn't much but he could tell that she was wearing some and that piqued his interest in her a bit more to want to lean in closer.
 
"Yeah, the minuscule amount of money the company saves by printing so tiny really doesn't seem worth the struggle. It would help productivity if it didn't take us so long to read anything." Audrey said as she looked at him "it's ridiculous how tiny they print everything. I'm sure they don't even try to read any of it."
 
"Perhaps," he said buckling his brow, "But...anyway..." he wasn't in a position to change it, though it was tempting in the long run. Not able to get a good angle on the paper she was presenting Darryl rose up from his chair and walked around the table to stand beside Audrey and held the edge of the paper with one hand. Being this close to her he was able to get a better smell of her and it was tantalizing to say the least, but he leaned in to read the paper better. "It would seem that this customer would like to appeal the decisions made earlier where we denied their claim for this car accident...but..." trailing off for a moment as he struggled to read the papers before shaking his head. "I think though that this paper could warrant a review. Have Breckenridge re-read this one and say that with the evidence they have there might be a chance to award them an additional $10,000 but only if Breckenridge can agree on that."
 
"Alright. I'll get to work on that..." She said as she turned to face him. Her cheeks flushed red a bit as she realized just how close they where, her face less than an inch from his. "Is there anything else that you need me to do while I'm talking to Breckinridge? I could grab coffee?"
 
"Yes, that would be great" he replied, but in looking at the papers he asked, "Ms. Tyler, would you like to order in some lunch as well?" reaching around for the phone and pressing it for the direct line for the cafe at the base of the building that most of the workers frequent. Having lunch would keep her here longer and closer to him. He was enjoying the close interaction with her despite the fact that he was the CEO and he was, technically his underling he disregarded that. He kept a warm face and a smile of his lips to assure her that he wanted to have lunch with her.
 
"Sure... What would you like?" she asked waiting for his answer before putting in the order. "I should be right back." Audrey gathered the papers she had been working on to go see Breckinridge. She found him and explained the situation, leaving the papers with him so he could deal with the situation properly. Before retiring to Darryl's office she went to the break room and got coffee for them both. "I forgot to ask how you take your coffee, so I hope it's alright.." She said as she handed it to him.
 
"That's fine" he replied with a smile taking the cup with the scalding black liquid, "I usually take it black to keep the energy," blowing lightly several times across the rim to cool it down before taking the first sip and feeling the still hot liquid rolling down the back of his throat, "Ah, that's hot," he smiled.

"Why don't you have a seat, Ms. Tyler. What would you like for lunch? Don't worry about the cost," lightly waving a hand, "I can charge it to the corporate credit card" smiling even brighter knowing that this was work related they could eat more than the others that brought their own lunch. "It'll take maybe ten to fifteen minutes before they can rush our order up here, though." Looking at the stack of papers it appeared now he was craving some thing with meat in it. His dark eyes lifted towards Audrey on the other side of the desk, gently looking her over in that business casual attire and wondered how she came to be working at a place like this. She had the face and figure of a model and yet she was working at this place, something below par for someone like her.
 
"Just a salad is fine." She said as she say back down. She took a sip of her coffee before getting back to work. "So do you think we will be able to get through all of this before the end of the work day?" She asked "it just doesn't seem like the pile of work is getting any smaller."
 
"Hopefully we will," he replied with a smile as his call connected to the cafe downstairs and he gave his order. After finishing and hanging up he went around and sat at his chair and looked at the stack of papers and frowned a bit. She was right. The hopes of leaving early were starting to slip away, but he kept a strong face. "Well, perhaps we can stay longer..." and the prospect of having the whole office to themselves was a bright idea, but he didn't want to impose taking the work to his place because she might consider that creepy.
 
"I guess I could stay late. But I'm going need a break, my eyes can't handle all this reading. I'm so sick of staring at papers. I really don't know how you do it." She said as she continued working "I can't believe how much work there is for just one day."
 
He scoffed, "I think we have all of this because our last CEO was terminated," shuffling through the papers then leaning back in his seat and interlocking his fingers together and putting them behind his head and sinking into the plush leather and letting out a long sigh, "By the way, you wouldn't know anything about that would you?" looking across the table towards her as she continued to read the papers, "I wasn't told anything about that," shrugging his shoulders, "Find it rather odd that he would go so quickly."
 
"I don't know. I really didn't know him." She said "I'm sure it had to have been something pretty bad. It doesn't really matter now." She sighed "everyone spends more time gossiping about it than they do actually doing work. It's a bit annoying."
 
Buckling his eyebrows he sighed, "Oh well. Just curious." A moment later there was a knock on the door that lifted his eyes. Behind her was a delivery girl with their order. Going around the desk and approaching her, he gave the girl a ten dollar tip and took the orders. Going back to the desk he placed her salad beside her paperwork, "Better move that stuff aside. Might not be a good idea to get cheese on appeals," chuckling as he did the same on his end of the table. He ordered a cobb salad himself not wanting something heavy at the moment. "Dig in" he asked her taking out a couple of plastic wrapped forked and offering her one.
 
"Thanks." She said as she took the fork and unwrapped it "so what do you do when you aren't stuck here with a mountain of paperwork? Do you go out a lot?" She asked hoping she wasn't getting too personal "or do you just like to stay in and relax?"
 
"I use to," he replied with a disappointing sigh as he unwrapped his fork and stabbed it into his salad and flaked through it, "Before I got promoted I use to get out and go into the mountains on the weekends, but now...." flicking his eyes over at the mountain of paper work in question and gave it a growl, "I haven't done so since. I really miss going out there." Lifting his head up and smiling he asked, "What do you do when you get out of this prison?"
 
"I haven't done too much recently. This job has kept me pretty busy. I really miss going out, dating, sex..." She said pushing her salad around with her fork "it's been way too long."
 
"Sex?" looking at her with a raised eyebrow, "Seems rather odd that you would mention that at work," smiling with a flash of pearl white teeth. Usually people wouldn't mention even the work 'sex' unless they were with people that they knew and whispering in a back room and not to an officer that they barely knew, but I wasn't going to fire her or anything. He desperately wanted something that would break the monotony of having to stare at papers all day, "I find it rather amazing that you would go a long time without sex" eyes looking at her slender fingers and not seeing a ring of any sort. "No man inf your life?"
 
"No, there hasn't been for what seems like forever. I don't know what it is about me that just repels men." She said "I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have brought that up, I guess I'm just a bit... Frustrated." She said blushing "it was inappropriate for me to bring such a thing up."
 
"It's alright" smirking, "Trust me, I know what that's like. I don't think a lot of people, including women, that want to talk to me because i'm now CEO. A lot of people that I use to talk to at the break room now won't come anywhere near me because they think i'll fire them," shaking his head in frustration, "I'm not like that. I'd fiure, now that we pretty much have this place to ourselves for the time being, why not just go ahead and tell me."
