Her stomach dropped as the elevator lifted and the numbers above the door rose. She smoothed her black skirt and forced herself to think about being an administrative assistant. Answering phones, filing, and...answering phones. Exactly what she was born to do.
The silver doors opened, and she stalked out into another lobby. This one was smaller, but decorated in much the same way. The woman behind the desk reminded her of a bull frog. Large round eyes set wide, a double chin, and a frown that went from one side of her face to the other. A silver name plate revealed her to be Darlene.
For a split second, Madison panicked. What was the assistant still doing here? Carrie made it sound like the woman, Darlene apparently, was going to quit first thing. But her worries fled when Darlene motioned for Madison to pass. “Mr. Jameson wants to speak with you right away.”
Darlene must be sticking around to train the next employee. A rush of excitement shot through Madison. That could be her.
She straightened her spine and walked past the desk and entered the office. Huge windows took up the entire east wall, and a fantastic view of the town spread forth. The rest of the spacious office held filing cabinets, an expensive mahogany desk, and some leather chairs. The man behind the desk was much younger than she had imagined the CEO of a large company would be, probably only a year or two her senior. His stormy grey eyes focused on her, and then narrowed.
“You’re late.” A scowl formed on his face and he stood, his gaze traveling over her. He wore a tie and a white dress shirt, which showed off his muscular physique. His jet black hair was neatly styled, probably some kind of corporate cut.
Confidence, she reminded herself.
Madison crossed the room and extended her hand. “I’m sorry, Mr. Jameson, I was not aware Carrie had set up—”
“And what are you wearing? You look like you’re going to a business meeting.” His scowl deepened, which she thought wasn’t possible.
“I uh—”
“Never mind. You’ll do.” He grabbed a briefcase from the floor and strode across the room, past her, and out the door, which he left open.
Madison stared after him. What happened? You’ll do? What did that mean?
He stuck his head back into the office. “You want the job, or what?”
Her pulse raced. She got the job! “Yes, sir!”
