Page 45 of The Attraction File

I tried my best to smile. Be cool and relaxed like he always was, but the way I leaned back felt stiff and uncomfortable.

He laughed and pointed at me. “You know something, Evaleen?”

I sat up straight preparing myself for the worst. Maybe Jacob told Edgar that I was making too many mistakes. Or worse, that he found my Attraction file.

Of God, that was it. He probably had a good laugh handing around the Attraction file to everyone after the meeting. Just waiting for me to run off. Why did I have to be such a coward?

Next chance I get, I’m going to burn that thing.

“You are too funny, Evaleen.”

He had seen the file. They were all laughing at me. No wonder Edgar was torturing me and making me do the interviews. He had something on me.

I tried to laugh but it came out robotic.

He was halfway out the door when I yelled, “Edgar, please. Just tell me what Mr. Mimir said.”

Edgar glanced back with surprise on his features as if my desire to know was the that last thing he thought I would want.

“Oh, it’s just all the executives have to go to London next week to deal with issues there.”

I was confused again. What did that have to do with me and the interviews?

“He mentioned that would be the perfect time for us to deal with the hiring. Even interview a few candidates over there. Looks like we are going to be spending a lot of time together. Who knows, we may even get to know one another a little better.” Edgar winked at me just before he shut the door.

I’d rather be a laughing stock right now than to have Edgar get to know me.
