Lexi Thompson stood outside the gleaming glass doors of the James Corporation, her heart racing with excitement and nerves. She had landed the job as secretary to the CEO, Ethan James, and she was determined to make a good impression.
As she took a deep breath and pushed through the doors, Lexi was immediately struck by the sleek and modern décor of the reception area. The walls were adorned with elegant artwork, and the furniture was stylish and comfortable. A friendly-looking receptionist greeted her from behind a large desk.
"Hi there! You must be Lexi, our new secretary. Welcome to the James Corporation!"
Lexi smiled and shook the receptionist's hand. "Thanks! I'm excited to be here."
The receptionist nodded and handed Lexi a folder filled with paperwork and information. "Here's your welcome packet. It's got all the information you need to get started. Mr. James is expecting you at 10 am, so you've got a few minutes to get settled before your meeting with him."
Lexi took the folder and began to flip through its contents. As she did, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the sheer scale of the James Corporation. The company was a global leader in its field, and Lexi felt honored to be a part of it.
After a few minutes of reviewing the welcome packet, Lexi made her way to the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. As the doors opened, she was greeted by a stunning view of the city skyline.
Ethan James's office was located at the far end of the hall, and Lexi could feel her heart pounding in her chest as she approached the door. She took a deep breath, smoothed out her dress, and knocked on the door.
"Come in," a deep voice called out from the other side of the door.
Lexi pushed open the door and stepped inside. Ethan James looked up from the papers on his desk, and their eyes met for the first time.
Lexi felt a jolt of electricity run through her body as she met Ethan's gaze. He was even more handsome than she had expected, with piercing blue eyes and chiseled features. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the tension between them palpable.
Then, Ethan smiled and stood up, extending his hand. "Lexi, welcome to the James Corporation. I'm Ethan James."
Lexi shook his hand, feeling a spark of attraction as their palms touched. "It's nice to meet you, Mr. James," she said, trying to sound professional.
Ethan nodded and gestured to a chair in front of his desk. "Please, call me Ethan. We're going to be working closely together, and I want us to be comfortable with each other."
Lexi nodded and sat down in the chair, feeling a sense of excitement and nervousness as she began her new job.
