This is not what I had planned

Josie has always been a "good girl". She has a decent job, that pays well, a nice comforting house, a working car, and a great attitude and personality. She works at Park Industries, in downtown Los Angeles. She works as a reporter alongside her friend, MG.

" Dammit! This is the second time this week I slept through my alarm!" Josie exclaims as she gets up from her bed, head still spinning, and rushes to change into her work attire. She chooses to wear simple black slacks with a white button down blouse tucked into said pants. Once she changes, puts on make up, and finds her keys, she is barely on time to the building.

"Okay, let's hope the elevator isn't full or anything." Josie mumbles to herself as she walks into the building. As she walks in, she sees someone walking into an empty elevator, and on instinct, jogs to the elevator and yells-

" Hold it! Hold it!" She doesn't see anything, but her destination- the elevator. Luckily, the person repeatedly pushes the button to open the door, letting Josie run in.

" Thank god! I could literally kiss you right now!" Josie says as she makes her way in the elevator of Park Industries.

" Is that so?" CEO of the company, Penelope Park states flirtatiously.

When Josie takes her first look at Penelope, not knowing who she is, she melts. From her low white stilettos, to her green orbs, and short raven hair, Josie is mesmerized.

" Uhhhm n-no, I mean yes- I-i mean that y-you are attractive a-and-" Right as Josie was rambling, the elevator door dings, signaling their exit. On the same floor.

" Hmmm good to know" Penelope nods slowly, taking in the new information.

" Whatever, I was just..." Josie says thinking of an excuse. Her hypnotizing green eyes are distracting Josie from getting a single thought completed.

" I was just in the moment of thanks and what not" Josie finishes.

" Saying 'whatever' to the CEO of the company isn't quite the language you should use"

Penelope says raising her eyebrows. Josie's eyes went wide. The CEO? She just became a flustered mess for the CEO? Not only that, but Penelope Park was openly flirting with her. A little flirt back wouldn't cause anything. Right?

" Openly flirting with your employees also isn't the way you should talk either." Josie snarks back.

" Touche miss...?" Penelope elaborates to hopefully get Josie"s name

" Saltzman"

" Can I at least get your first name?" She asks

" Hmmmm, I'll think about it Penelope" Josie says emphasizing on 'Penelope'.

They walk together, bantering (they are really flirting, but they don't know), when MG waves Josie over to her desk.

" Josie! Over here, there's an emergency meeting right now!" MG says walking over.

" Hey, Ms. Park" Hey says extending his hand

" Hey Milton, how you doing?" Penelope responds shaking his hand.

" Good, I was calling Josie to tell her that there's a meeting right now about some new headlines. Since Josie is a reporter, she might not want to miss it."
