Chapter 64: Ascension

When he came into the lobby of the Zexaron building that day, Grayson wore a new black suit and carried a shiny silver briefcase. With a friendly wave, he welcomed in his new employee.

"I'm so excited to start my first day of work," Naomi said affectionately.

"That makes me very pleased." Grayson smiled down on her. "You're about to become a very important asset to our company, you know."

"I'm so very grateful...Mr. Lee," Naomi replied, unsure of what to call her new superior.

"Please, call me Grayson."

Grayson placed a friendly arm around Naomi's waist, slipping it down just far enough to tease her into thinking he wanted to touch her behind, without actually doing it. He led her into one of the elevators above the lobby, and soon they were alone with each other. Grayson pulled a key from his pocket, inserted it into the console, then pressed the button that would have taken them to the ground floor...if they had not already been there.
