AU: Modern Office Romance | Human Characters
The elevator ride to the 50th floor of the Genesis Tower was usually the longest forty seconds of Nikki Vance's life. Today, February 14th, it felt like an eternity in purgatory.
Pressure everywhere she turned. Making her regret why on earth she was single!
Every other woman in the building was walking around with a bouquet of roses, a box of chocolates, or a smug smile that said, I have reservations at 8:00. Nikki, on the other hand, was holding a lukewarm soy latte, a stack of mergers and acquisitions files, and a dry cleaning bag containing a charcoal grey suit that cost more than an entire college tuition.
She was the Executive Assistant to Adonis, the CEO of Genesis Corp. The "Ice King." The man who allegedly fired an intern once for breathing too loudly during a board meeting.
Nikki stepped off the elevator and marched to her desk, which was strategically placed right outside his double glass doors like a guard dog's kennel.
