It's March and she's returning to live in Toulouse, France, where the weather right now is not too cold and not too hot. The architecture is different from the USA, she misses that. The building of the company keeps the architecture she likes, it's an eight floor building, the first two floors are where the chefs work on the menu, the third floor is human resource, fourth lawyers, fifth and sixth are where "the fairies" work, is the group of people who makes the design comes true, they work on everything depending on the project, from fabrics to flowers, everything related to decoration, and the last floor is the design team and her office.

She misses her country, food, people and language, she doesn't like the fact that many women in the USA have families, she felt different there, at least women her age; another reason to come back fast is to celebrate the anniversary, it's in a few days.

Today Catherine Andino comes back after her master's in the USA, she lives in France Toulouse, she has her own catering company named "Experience", she's just turned 40.

After arriving to Toulouse, she just went directly to the company with luggage in hand to see how things were, she's excited and she's been dreaming about this moment. Apart from that, she doesn't want to be alone in the flat and pass to the process of "getting used" to things again.

After passing the doors she saw one of the girls, judging her age she might be new she thought.

"Oh god...what happened to her?"

The girl looked neat and clean but for a quite big scratch on her legging, it seemed the girl hasn't noticed it, but it's unacceptable to Catherine.

She approached the girl.

"Excuse me" the girl turned around.

Cat notices her big, beautiful blue eyes that contrasts with her reddish hair and the cute freckles.

"Come with me" Catherine takes her hand and goes to the bathroom, after locking the door she said -you need to take that off. Pointing at her legs.

"Excuse me?" The girl was red confused. It was the first time meeting this woman and how can she ask to get undressed.

Catherine understood the misunderstanding. She opened her luggage to looked for a pair of black leggings; she is not someone who wears skirts or dresses but when she does, she must wear leggings.

"You can take this, yours have a scratch, I won't look" Cat turns her head.

This kind of thing can't happen in my company she thought.

The girl wasn't sure about it, but she has this meeting and she can't attend it looking like that; she shyly took them off and changed in the same spot.

I didn't mean to look at her legs, but that mole looked pretty.

First meeting

Today I have this meeting for the service we have this Saturday, my team has been preparing for these two months but today is the last presentation to make sure everyone knows what to do and where to be. I can't mess it up, I just have 2 months working here, so it means I must prove myself to them.

"Excuse me"

Someone says to me and when I turn around, I see this beautiful woman, so cool but her hair is... interesting... messy, it looks good.

She just takes my hand and takes me to the toilet, I mean, what is she thinking, and she told me to take my leggings off, everything happens so fast that I'm confused, I'm sure my face shows how embarrassed I am.

She opens her luggage, and I can't believe my eyes, she has some nice underwear, but she hasn't realised I can see that, or she just doesn't care.
