It was 8:34am. She rushed into the office cradling her work and holding holding her coffee tightly between her chin and the ring binder. She attempted to open the door single handedly. She succeeded. Just.
She battled her way through the hoards of high heels and high egos to eventually get onto the home stretch of reaching her office. As she approached it, a tall silhouette of a man blocked her path, he took her by surprise and before she could even adjust her gaze, the man bumped straight into her, her Starbucks laté exploded all down the front of her new white blouse as she also dropped mountain of work.
"Shit I'm so sorry" said the unfamiliar face.
Without even looking up she barked "do you even realise who I -"
Their eyes caught one another as they both reached for the ring binder. His hand brushed hers in an attempt to rescue the laté soaked work. She got a better look of the tall, dark and handsome stranger who 5 minutes ago ruined her blouse. She suddenly no longer cared for the blouse.
She stuttered "it was an accident, don't wor-"
"Let me make it up to you, this evening?" He bravely proclaimed.
"What do you have in mind?" She replied.
"You'll just have to wait and see, meet me in the lobby at 7" he said, the corners of his mouth slightly raising.
She straightened herself up whilst beginning to walk away "7, lobby, got it"
As she got closer to her office the thought dawned on her, she never even got his name , as she began to turn around on her heel she said "I never even got your name"
The man had disappeared.
