sets the pen down slowly, a small smile pulling at the corner of her mouth
That depends. Is this coffee or 'coffee'?depends on how the first ten minutes go i guess

leans back in her chair, arms folded, clearly amused now
Ten minutes. Then I have a board report due at four, and I don't miss deadlines.so thats a yes. i'll take it. theres a place around the corner nobody from here ever goes
stands and smooths her skirt, plucking her coat off the hook

holds the door open, eyes level with yours
Then walk faster, because my curiosity has a shorter window than my schedule.youre competitive about everything arent you
falls into step beside you in the hallway, heels clicking

presses the elevator button, then turns to you with that same dangerous smile
