Amanda stepped out of the elevator and walked through the open plan office, greeting a few former colleagues here and there. She walked to the far end and entered the anteroom adjoining her husband’s office. “Afternoon” She was brightly greeted by a new secretary. Amanda regarded her for a moment. Pretty face, framed by dark auburn coloured hair. Green eyes. Natural tan. Top couple of buttons undone to display generous cleavage. She felt like she was looking at a young version of herself.
Amanda smiled widely “Hi, you must be George’s new secretary?”
“Yes, I’m Ginger, nice to meet you” She responded with a smile.
“I’m Amanda, George’s wife. Is he free?”
Amanda couldn’t help but notice Ginger’s face drop and her demeanor darken at the mention of her relationship “Mr. Anderson is actually with a client right now, he shouldn’t be long if you’d like to wait”.
“Thank you” Amanda smiled as she sat down on the couch, facing Ginger, and crossed her legs.
Ginger busied herself with some documents, conspicuously avoiding eye contact with Amanda. Amanda stared at her intently.
“I used to be in your position, you know? I was George’s secretary, that’s how I met him.”
