Excerpt
Iâm browsing through emails on my phone as I ride the elevator down to the lobby. It halts on the third floor, and I back up to let more people on. I donât lift my head up as the elevator starts again, but suddenly Iâm hit with the sound of laughter.
Itâs innocent, young, and vibrant. Iâm intrigued, so I shift my body to get a better view of her. My eyes find the young girl in the front by the doors. I watch her from the side and notice sheâs on her phone. Sheâs smiling wide and laughing with whomever sheâs speaking to on the phone. The doors slide open, and I walk around a few people to exit, except the girl doesnât move and I crash right into the back of her, pushing us both out of the elevator before the doors close. Instinctively, I wrap my free arm around her waist to catch her from face planting the floor. Her back is pressed against my chest and for a moment, I donât want to let go.
Her phone isnât as lucky. It slips out of her hand and lands on the lobby floor.
âShit,â she curses and my arm frees her to bend down and grab it off the floor.
âIâm so sorry,â I begin apologizing as I step back. My eyes wonder to her bare legs and up her tone thighs to a pair of black workout shorts. Sheâs wearing a baggy sweatshirt as if sheâd been running or working out. I can smell the fresh sweat on her, but it doesnât turn me off. In fact, it does the exact opposite.
âThatâs okay.â Her voice cracks as she turns around, and I finally get a good look at her. âOh, Mr. Leighton,â she says surprised, and I immediately curse the bad luck that brings me to my new internâCasey West.
âMiss West?â I finally say as she stares up at me in silence. âI thought you werenât coming until Saturday?â
âHide your disappointment, Mr. Leighton.â The corners of her mouth perk up into a cocky smile. âI was just picking up the paperwork and doing all the background check questions.â Her witty personality is spot on just like the last time.
Everyone that works or interns at Leighton Enterprises goes through an extensive background check for security reasons. All of the files are confidential, and only journalists reporting on the stories can know the exclusive information.
âAh, yes. Of course, the paperwork.â
Paul failed to mention sheâd be here todayâ¦
She continues eyeing me, and I wonder if she feels the electricity between us as much as I do.
âWell, Iâll see you Saturday, Mr. Leighton,â she says as she is seductively smiling up at me. She quickly turns around and begins walking toward the lobby doors.
I put my phone in my pocket and shake the thoughts of Casey out of my head. This is crazy. I canât think of her like that. Sheâs my goddamn intern.
