Canyou please come to my office? We have some things to discuss.

Owen North

CEO, North Management

The factI’m sitting with my thighs pressed together while reading this email does not escape me.

Also, I really am going to require those brown contact lenses. Stat.

A thought suddenly comes to me and I’m not sure why it hasn’t already come to me.

If Owen is the CEO, does this meanhe’smy boss?

Also, no, I can’t go to his office.

I have work to do.

And when he says “we have things to discuss”, I’m pretty sure he doesn’t mean work things. I’m pretty sure he means “I’m putting your red thong in my pocket” kind of things, and that isn’t a conversation I should get involved in. Not if I have any hope of keeping my attraction to him under control.

I send him a reply.
