Inside were some confidential company files, which neither she nor Christopher Wilson were allowed to access under normal circumstances.
Emma Smith did not know about this level of secrecy. She thought secretaries would always help their bosses input computer files, so she immediately agreed.
As she approached the office desk, she encountered difficulty.
This office desk had only one seat - his. If she wanted to enter the files, where should she sit?
Robert Thomson seemed to notice her embarrassment and said quickly, "Come here."
Due to her previous experience with him, Emma realized that Robert had no intention of giving up his seat. She quickly understood that he wanted her to sit on his lap.
Saying nothing more, she tentatively asked, "Robert, should I—"
Before the words had left her mouth, he pulled her onto his lap.
