Sara vividly recalls her initial day at the job, an experience etched in her memory. Little did she anticipate the journey that lay ahead, as she settled into her new desk under the guidance of her predecessor, swiftly absorbing the intricacies of her role. On that inaugural day, as she absorbed the ropes of her new position, Sara demonstrated her quick learning abilities. The older woman, the prior assistant, gauged her comprehension with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Yes, Ma'am," Sara responded with a confident smile, earning praise from her predecessor. "You're a bright young woman. I knew I could trust you to take my position," the older woman commended with a sincere smile, a moment Sara fondly recalls.
The encounter with Mr. Sanders further solidified Sara's standing in the company. Initially met with skepticism, Sara's efficiency and competence eventually won over Mr. Sanders. When he introduced his son, Ethan, who would soon inherit his position, Sara seamlessly transitioned her duties.
"Thank you, Sara. This is my son; he will be taking over my position at the end of this month," Mr. Sanders announced. Sara, maintaining eye contact with the older gentleman, proceeded to brief Ethan on the day's schedule.
As Sara reflects on these memories, she can't help but roll her eyes at the stark contrast between father and son. While Ethan successfully managed the company, his inappropriate behavior in the workplace persisted. Sara often found herself navigating through his flirtatious advances, a challenging aspect of working alongside a good-looking but indiscreet young man.
"Good morning, Mr. Sanders," she greets, entering the room, schedule in hand.
"Well, hello beautiful. I tell you every day, just call me Ethan," he remarks, eyeing the young woman appreciatively and flirtatiously.
Maintaining a serious expression, she responds, "Perhaps I should just read the schedule," swiftly shifting the focus to the task at hand. Undeterred, she proceeds to detail his appointments and meetings, maintaining professionalism despite the inappropriate flirtation.
As the day unfolds, Sara immerses herself in pivotal meetings alongside Mr. Sanders, diligently taking notes and handling various responsibilities. When not engaged in these collaborative sessions, she finds herself back at her desk, navigating through stacks of paperwork with precision.
As the day progresses into evening, Sara glances around the now-deserted office. A sigh escapes her lips, realizing that everyone has already departed for the night. Despite the long day, she's confronted with the lingering workload that demands attention. Contemplating the consequences of leaving it until morning, the risk of her schedule falling behind looms. With a determined resolve, she decides it's more prudent to stay a little later, ensuring the completion of the pending paperwork and maintaining the delicate balance of her responsibilities.
Sara remains immersed in her paperwork until she's interrupted by Ethan approaching her desk, confusion etched on his face.
"Sara, what on earth are you still doing here? Your shift ended at four, and it's five," he queries, his gaze fixed on her.
Surprised, she looks up and admires his blond hair and blue eyes. "Oh, Mr. Sanders? What are you still doing here?" she counters with a hint of curiosity.
"I think I asked you first," he chuckles, reciprocating her admiration. His eyes linger on her green eyes, finding them captivating.
Explaining her extended stay, she holds up the paperwork slightly. "I had some paperwork to finish. I figured it would be best to do it now rather than in the morning and risk falling behind."
Acknowledging her dedication, Ethan discloses his own late-night agenda. "I also have some paperwork and calls to make before leaving. Let me know before you go. I don't want you leaving the building alone. I will walk you to your car," he asserts, walking into his office without waiting for her response.
