"Hello Ms. I'm Jayson Lodge." The man says.
"So, you're the stranger my father has been talking about." I say
He laughs, "Well, I suppose. He actually told me to bring you this stack of papers. He didn't give me any instructions so I am hoping you know what to do with these."
"Yes, of course. I am in charge of keeping all of the spreadsheets and the business information in order. I just have to insert all of the information on these papers in to a spreadsheet, nothing too hard," I say, "Daddy tells me that you a Harvard attendee."
"That, I am." He says, "I am a junior at Harvard. I am majoring in Journalism. I also take all of my classes online, I have come to find our that it is much easier that way."
He is very easy on the eyes. He's tall, he has dark brown hair, a caramel brown skin tone, and green eyes. He also has on wrinkle free khaki's, squeaky clean black dress shoes, a white t-shirt, and a maroon cardigan. There's just something about him that I can't quite put my finger on. Nonetheless, he is nothing short from intriguing.
"Fascinating, I've always dreamt of having a husband that is smarter then me. Pretty hard to top if I say so myself," I giggle.
"Are you suggesting that I be your husband?" He questions.
"If you play your cards right that may be something I consider." I say
"You're a bold one, I like that. But I'm not so sure I could even consider being your husband without knowing your name," He says
"Oh, yes. I am Alycia Norman. Daughter of Ronald and Linda Norman. I turn 19 in just a few short days, and I just graduated high school yesterday."
"Interesting, any plans for college?"
"Actually, yes, I plan on going to New York University in the fall." I say
"How about I take you out for lunch, that way we can learn more about each other and you can get back to your work?" He asks
"Sounds good to me,"
"Okay great, how about tomorrow morning? I'll pick you up at 11:30?"
"It's a date," I smile.
"Take my number," He says
I hand him my phone and he puts his number in. After that he leaves my office and I text Loren.
- My office, NOW
After that, a fast breathing, Loren, rushes in to my office and starts rambling.
"I ran as fast as I could when I seen your text. They really need to invest in elevators in this place you know? Those stairs take a toll on me every time. Also I ran into that new Jayson guy and he is very easy on the eyes. I likey." She says all too fast but I still catch every word.
"Oh yes, I'm aware. That's why I texted you. So, Jayson came into my office to give me papers from my dad and we got to talking and we were talking for a few minutes and next thing I know, I agreed to go on a lunch date tomorrow," I say
"Wow, that was quick. But okay, I'm feeling the vibe a little grown man action after you've finally entered your grown man life," She says
"Grown man life?" I laugh, "I suppose, tonight I need you to stay over and we need to start digging, I need more info on this guy."
"Yay, our detective time just like the old days," She says overly excited, "Okay let's skip lunch today so we can leave early and head straight to your house."
After that she leaves my office and the rest of the day goes by fairly quickly. At the end of our work day, we go to my car and go straight to my house.
"Okay, first step. Find his social media's." She says
I go on every social media account I have, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. I don't find him on any.
"Loren, he wasn't found on any social media," I say
