Effie's POV:

        It's been about a week since Mr. Silas said I was hired. I can't believe I got the job, considering I only have one main experience. I am supposed to start working tomorrow, so hopefully I can make a good impression whilst working. I'm walking down the street when all of a sudden someone grabs my wrist and pulls me into a very sketchy allyway. No one was around to see it, it being midnight in New York city. People are in clubs, partying or drinking, hooking up with strangers. That sort of thing. A wave of panic washes over me and I don't know what to do. I see the silhouette of a tall figure, but can't seem to get a face. The person seems to be male, but I can't make it out. I finally hear this person speak and I automatically know who it is...Mr. Silas. Why would he do this to me in the middle of nowhere and in the middle of the night? I finally speak and say," What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I say cutting him off from his sentence. He steps into the little light that is there and it seems he is....drunk. Why the fuck is my boss drunk? Isn't he supposed to be a role model for his other employees? I know adults drink, but why is he here, holding my wrist at 12 o'clock in the morning? Mr. Silas begins to speak and slurs out," You are not supposed to talk to me like that, are you now Ms. Aldine?" He has a smirk on his face, which makes my legs weak. I stutter out," S-sorry sir. How did you know I was here though?" He takes a long stare into my eyes, as if searching for something, and while he continues to stare he says," My name is Ezra, call me Ezra NOW!" I am beginning to get scared, so I speak the word,"Ezra." He releases my wrist, and starts backing me into a wall. He looks down into my eyes, begins to bring his hand up to my neck, then uses his other hand to pin my hands above my head. There is a sparkle in his green eyes as he leans down, then-

        BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP! My stupid alarm interrupted my- OH MY GOD! What the hell was that?! I should not be thinking of my boss like that. It is so inappropriate. I shut my alarm off, then step out of bed and head to my bathroom. In about 10 minutes, I finish my shower, blow dry my hair, and decide to put it in a braid that falls over my shoulder. I color my lips in red, then do my usual eyeliner. I walk to my little closet and pull out a red dress that meets mid-thigh and put a black blazer on top of it. I wear my black heels and am ready for the day. I begin my walk to my new job. It is only about a 15 minute walk, which is amazing considering I don't have a car.

        I have finally arrived at the office, and I am not sure how I should act after that dream. I just met Mr. Silas. I greet the kind lady at the reception area, and I have learned her name. Her name is Cindy or Mrs. Harrison. She is awfully kind, and once again helps me to find the elevators. This place is huge. I reach the 46th floor and see the doors of which I need to get through. I walk up to the gaurds by the door and tell them I am here to ask Mr. Silas about where I am supposed to go. I hear something coming from his office, then all of a sudden a girl walks out. She definitely doesn't work here. Her blonde hair is messy. Her pink lipstick is smudged. She is dressed like a stripper. The main thing that stands out to me is the big smirk on her face. I know exactly what happened in there. I suck it up and release the breath I have been holding. The gaurds let me through and there I see Mr. Silas carefully buttoning up his black button down. His hair isn't disheveled, it is perfect as if it had not been touched. I pause a moment hesitating with what I should say, then finally sputter out the words," Mr. Silas, what happened in here just now?" I realize what I have just done. Just starting to work here, being nosey towards the boss, and having inappropriate dreams with him in them. He looks up to me with hooded eyes, and stares. Just stares.

Ezra's POV:

        Allison just left my office. She is one hell of a needy girl. She comes here for one thing and one thing only. My touch and for my pleasure. I hear the sound of heels again, I know who it is already. Ms. Aldine. I know she just saw Allison walk out of my office. Ms. Aldine should know by now that Allison is a slut, I mean look at her. I roll my eyes and continue to fiddle with the buttons on my shirt. Ms. Aldine is just standing there a few feet away from me. After a long moment of silence she says something that got me surprised," Mr. Silas, what happened in here just now?" I look up towards her just enough to see her. I stare into her eyes. Those eyes of hers. Blue like the ocean. What am I thinking? I let out a breath and speak," That was Allison, my old friend." She doesn't seem to buy it, but nods anyways.

       After Ms. Aldine's questions, I at last led her to her office, of which is only down the hall from mine. She walks into her new office and looks amazed. A glint in her eyes and a smile on her face say it all. It's as if she has never seen something so big. She turns to me and says," Thank you Mr. Silas!" I stare towards her and try and figure her out for a moment. She is a mystery waiting to be solved by me. If only she was easy. I look into her eyes and give her one last piece of information before she starts on her work," Call me Ezra, Ms. Aldine."
