Another last minute meeting. He shoved his phone into his pocket as he rounded the corner. He slowed a bit when he saw the woman sitting at the desk outside his office. He felt his heart rate increase and put on his poker face. He knew what she would have been told about him, so it was time to get to work.

*Oh, this will be fun, he* thought. He sat at his desk and started going through emails.His new assistant put a cup of coffee in front of him. He looked up at her.
“Black right?” she asked.
