BOOK 6: C1

"Hello, I'm your new assistant," the girl said. Her voice was soft-spoken yet authoritative. She smiled sweetly as she walked towards him. He had met her at work just this morning for an interview to fill in for an absent colleague on maternity leave. As it turned out he would be interviewing several applicants but none were as attractive or intelligent as this particular young woman who sat across from him now. "I'm here today because my friend is taking care of her sick child and won't be able to come into the office."

She paused before adding, "Do you need anything else? Coffee?"

Isaac nodded absently as he studied her face. Tall and slim, with straight black hair that fell halfway down her back; her skin was pale with large dark eyes set above high cheekbones. He could see why she'd caught his interest even though her figure did not match the other girls who came to his company looking for employment every day. This one however stood apart.
