She stepped into the crowded elevator and stood near a young man she hadn't seen before, their height difference immediately being made obvious. The top of his head barely brushed her shoulders. Suddenly the elevator shifted and his elbow caught her in the side, making her jump. She turned her furious gaze down to him and stared at him in silence. A pregnant pause later she spoke up, "Six people have exited the elevator since I got on, it really isn't that crowded, watch where you're going". Although she hadn't said much, her tone had successfully frightened him into submission. He bit his lip nervously, looking down regretfully towards his briefcase, "Sorry, I didn't mean it" he whispered. Great. Now he was making her feel bad. he was so adorable she had just wanted to mess with him but maybe she'd been a little harsh. The elevator dinged and the doors slid open, revealing the lobby. "It's fine. But my advice Mr. Kennedy, try not to be so docile, trust me, you won't survive here", she said, stepping out onto the marble tiles. She had struggled more than many of her seniors had to get where she was. He was just making his way up the ladder. Both leading seemingly stable lives, she was tasked with more than she needed to handle, on the brink of collapse, he was seeking comfort from someone who didn't have any to spare.

I pushed back my glasses and enquired, "Hi, did you call me?" I saw him smirk a little and then averted my gaze to anywhere but him. "Yes, Ms. Findlay. I did call you. I wanted to ask; are you the one who is making these new designs? Giving them finishing touches?", he asked pointing to the paperwork on his table. I didn't know why, but my throat had gone dry. So, I just nodded. He got closer to me and instinctively, I took steps away from him. Soon, he had closed the slightly ajar door and I was trapped between him and the door. We were so close that I could feel his breath near my neck. Slowly, he whispered into my ear, "What did you think, I would have forgotten you, Emerson? Do you think this is all a game?" I gulped. That was enough to confirm that he had definitely recognized me. I fake frowned and stuttered while trying to find the doorknob, "I...uh...I...I don't understand what you are talking about.....I...I...I think I should go." I finally found the doorknob, opened the door and practically ran out but, not before hearing him say, "If this is a game, so be it. Let the games begin." ____________________ Emma had only three goals since she was ten: grow mature, study hard and become independent.
