Women on top

4. This Adam guy

It's been a little more than a year since I came here, I still live with Eve and Luke, Cassie comes often to visit me, and I've kept my promise to call my mom daily as soon as I wake up. The constant flirting with Dave in the office it's over, I've heard he is in Abudabi now.

I finish my breakfast, and put my shoes on, Luke it's in college, he will graduate this semester, and Eve is still sleeping. I get my keys and drive the short ride to Evans&Co, I walk past the door and greet everyone on my way to my office, I throw my purse on my chair and take a binder to get back to my work team. At the end of last year the preliminary test of the project ended up well so now I just had to work on a scale model before traveling to Seattle and making it happen. I open the doors of the lab and find Jack spinning on his chair, I roll my eyes at him and take my seat. Today Mr. Evans was sending my work team, since I've been working alone with Jack for the last three months. 

- Morning Boss - Jack says handing me a cup of coffee

- Morning Jack - I say giving him the binder with the list of names written in the first pages, as soon as he opens it, the double doors swing open and Mr. Evans himself walks through them with 3 people behind him, Jack and I stand up and welcome them to our work station.

- Hi, dear. -he says patting my shoulder and giving me a small smile, I've grown fond of Mr. Evans, or Smith as he asked me to call him, this year, his being my mentor and like a father figure all this time, always watching my back and giving me advise not only for work, but for everything else in my life.- These are the new members of your work team, Amy Greens, inustrial designer from Brown, Paul Williams, former Project leader, and Adam Walker, Architecht. - At the mention of her name, Amy gave me a small nod and smile, her red hair birght under the dim light of the lab, Paul gave me a playful wink, and this Adam guy just crossed his arms and stared at me from head to toe.

- It's nice to meet you all, I'm Riley Jhonson, I'll be your team leader for this project, and I hope we all get along to get the best results. - I said awkwardly smiling, this Adam guy was glaring at me all the time he made me instantly uncomfortable. but as Mr Evans told me, they were all trained and carefully selected for this job, so I put my awkwardness aside and stretched my arm to greet them all.

- It's really great to be here, I was dying to get this job- Amy said when I shook her hand, she seemed bouncy and full of energy, like a red haired version of Cassie.

- I hope you enjoy it here- I shortly replied and moved on to Paul, he held my hand and gave it a small kiss, - Oh, what a gentleman - I said and did a little bow in front of him, he cracked a smile, he looked like a cool uncle and with great manners. 

- So you are the boss, huh? - Oh, this Adam guy again, ignore him, my subconscious said, I shook his hand and looked straight in his eyes, there was not even a tiny bit of respect there.

- Yes, I am - I politely said, with his hand still in mine, it was weird he wasn't shaking it nor letting me go.

- Well, I've always been a fan of women on top - he rudely said, winked his eye at me and finally let go of my hand. Mr Evans chukled looking our word exchange, and excused himself after giving me a soft kiss on my forehead and assuring me this was the best workers he could find. I sighed and proceed to explain everyone our work plan for the next month and assigning them chores to get done with our scale model. Paul listened and nodded carefully to my speech, Amy made short comments and ideas of the arrangement of the chores and asked questions of the due date, and Adam just sat ther with his legs wide open and his arms crossed over his chest.

It was almost 5 p.m , Amy and I were cutting cardboards and wood plates for the base of the model, Paul and Jack worked on computers in the internal and external appereance of the building, and Adam started working on the electronical details of the model ocasionally glaring at me from the other side of the big table and talking with Paul and Jack. The goal was to show them how the machinery will actually work when the real building is made.
