Fine Specimen

Gia woke up to the sound of her alarm ringing throughout her darkened bedroom. It had been a strange couple of days and she was thankful to get back to work where things would be normal again.

Gia wandered over to the hook hung over her door and slipped her arms into her blue fluffy dressing gown before making her way downstairs.

Gia poured herself some orange juice and popped two pieces of bread into the toaster before grabbing Henry's bowl, filling it with his favourite wet food and a few crunchy treats on top.

One thing that she would always dread is a Monday morning. There are a few reasons as to why Gia never looked forward to a Monday, one being that it was the start of the week and after the weekend she was usually greated with a plethora of emails and letters to sort.

The second being that every Monday morning they would hold a meeting, usually to discuss the week before and to set the goals for the upcoming week ahead. This meeting is usually held by senior staff who have their weekly meeting through higher management.

One thing she could count on was that none of the CEOs or any of the COOs or CFOs would be in attendance in the meeting. Gia had never met any of the Chief Financial Officers or the Chief Operating Officers but she still preferred to have as little as possible to do with the higher management.

Gia sat on the sofa with her orange juice and toast and flicked through the TV networks until she settled on a news broadcast, mindlessly paying attention and she created a list in her mind of what she needed to get done that day.

Gia finished off her breakfast and washed up her dishes in the sink before begrudgingly making her way to get dressed. Gia settled on a figure hugging black pencil skirt with a chunky black belt and a dogtooth patterned top.

Gia applied her usual foundation and mascara and added a red lip before spraying her favourite perfume, Giorgio Armani Sì, before placing her brunette hair into a low loose ponytail.

Gia hurriedly grabbed her purse and keys before slipping on her christian louboutin suola so Kate heels and a long black coat and heading out the door. Gia made her way to the bus stop and waited for the bus as she checked her phone, through any messages she had from the night before.

The bus journey was quiet and didn't take her long to get into the town centre, the trees ever so slightly had a shine on them from the mornings frost. Gia stepped off the bus and popped her earphones in as she made the 10 minute walk to her office.

Gia pulled her ID badge from her purse and scanned the card on the reader before the door opened, allowing her to walk into the lobby and towards the elevator, hoping that the meeting went as quickly and smoothly as it has in the past.

Gia walked into her office and placed her coat on the hook on the back of the door, walking around her desk and sitting in her chair, starting up her computer.

Gia loaded up her emails and the software she would need throughout the day before locking her screen and making her way over to conference room 4. Gia walking in to see one of her more favoured colleagues, Johannas sat with his pink 'Fuckoffee' mug and that signature bored look on his face.

"Hey bitch did I miss anything?" Gia laughed as she pulled up a chair next to Johannas and took his mug from him, taking a sip of his coffee. "No, we haven't started yet. Have you heard the drama between Mary and Beatrice? Apparently Mary slept with Beatrice's husband and...-" Johannas stopped speaking as his eyes locked onto something behind Gia.

Her eyebrows furrowed as she turned in her seat to see those familiar broad shoulders she had gotten used to waltz into the room. Gia placed the coffee mug onto the table next to her, as she straightened up her posture and crossed her left leg behind her right ankle, her hands placed on her lap.

Buckys eyes scanned the room, clocking onto Gia, not so subtly drawing his eyes up and down her body, before he continued to gaze upon every other person. Gia couldn't help the feeling of her stomach dropping and the butterflies going wild as he cleared his throat.

"Ok everyone if I could have your attention please. I won't be here for the entirety of the meeting but I just wanted to inform you all of a new position we have available. We are looking for a supervisor for our insurance department to run their team and to overlook all financial transactions and to convey with other leads of department in the running of clients books and paperwork. This role is only going out internally and application forms will be available in my office, please feel free to pop in with any questions you may have or to pick up a form. The deadline is a week today. Thank you for your attention all, I will leave you to finish your meeting with your supervisors."

Bucky smiles and straightened his suit jacket before walk out of the office and heading out of sight. "As if that fine specimen of a man checked you out! Girl you have some explaining to do."

Gia couldn't help the pink tinge to her cheeks as she tried to pay attention to the supervisors "I don't know what that was about, I have only spoken to him twice I think, Mr Buchanan isn't really the sit in the staffroom and gossip type of CEO."

Johannas nudged Gia and laughed before turning his attention back to the meeting at hand. After the meeting, Gia swung by the staffroom to make herself a coffee before heading back to her office and getting to work with answering her emails and responding to letters from over the weekend.

Gia had spent most of the morning completing these tasks and had decided to pop into Buckys office to collect an application form. Gia straightened out her skirt and moved her hair behind her before softly knocking her knuckles on Buckys office door.

She couldn't hear anything and was about to turn away when a low gruff call sounded out. Gia pulled the handle on the door and pushed it open to reveal Bucky sat at his desk, his tie was missing and the top two buttons were undone revealing his tempting chest peaking through.

Buckys hair was tousled from what looked like stress and he was leaning back on his chair looking delicious. "Miss Kate what can I do for you?" Bucky looked up at Gia and small goosebumps appeared over her arms and a shiver ran done her spine.

"I just wanted to collect an application form" Bucky looked up at her and just simply nods his head before pointing to the stack of forms on the opposite desk the other side of the room.

"If there is anything you are unsure about or if you need any help please don't hesitate to contact me. We both know you have my contact details" Gia turned quickly and hurried from Buckys office, hoping that he didnt notice the blush she was wearing.

Gia got back into the safety of her office and began filling out the paperwork.
