And then … then he had materialized out of nowhere. That was how much my predicament needed Rosie’s immediate attention. I somehow dropped the bomb before we ever sat down. My plan had been to grab Rosie and plop down on the upholstered wooden armchairs that served as a waiting sitting area for visiting clients, which were usually unoccupied this early in the morning. Both our offices were relatively close together, so the moment I had entered the building located in the heart of Manhattan, in the vicinity of Central Park, I had gone straight to her office.
We were standing at the far end of the hallway of the eleventh floor of the InTech headquarters. Lips parted, I stared at my friend for a long moment. Good morning!” she said brightly before her attention returned to my face. He’s right there.” Her head peeked around me very quickly. I watched her dark curls bounce with the motion, an expression of disbelief marring her otherwise soft features. Rosie-my best friend and colleague in InTech, the New York City–based engineering consulting company, where we had met and worked-slowly nodded her head. “Is he really there? Can you see him? Or did someone spike my coffee without me noticing?” “Rosie …” I trailed off, the word leaving me in a whisper. I opened my mouth and then snapped it closed again. “I’ll do it if you need someone that badly,” the deep voice came again.Įyes growing wide, I lifted my head. That would at least explain what was happening.
Looking down at my coffee, I squinted my eyes, trying to search for any signs of noxious substances floating around. Words I had never-not even in my wildest dreams, and trust me, I had a vivid imagination-conceived of hearing from that deep and rich tone reached my ears.
