I sit at my desk and continue typing. If this didn't get finished, I was for sure fired. This was our biggest client of the year. He was willing to help Xell come up with a new computer software, at a dirt cheap price.
"Psst! Amber!" I look up from my desk and see Gracie in the doorway holding a Manila folder and her cell phone. I sit up and listen as my heels make their way to the door.
"I'm busy Gracie-"
"Shh shh!" I roll my eyes and lean up against the glass. Looking out into the other offices, I see the new guy. Ooh look at you Mr.Business. He's chatting with the boss, and setting up his office.

"I didn't see a ring..." Gracie says tracing her red lips with her tongue. She grinned and left my office, leaving me alone to think.
