At first, her words are just a jumble, but finally she starts making sense and I swallow my chuckle.“How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are? No, just who the hell do you think I am?” She’s reached me at this point and I am thankful for the desk that stands between us. “Do you really think that I am going to just sit around and spend company money? Seriously?” It takes me a moment to realize what she’s referring to and another minute more to realize that she’s waiting for an answer.“I guess you’ve been down to accounting.” I turn away to hide my smile. “Victoria, as my secretary you will be running a lot of errands, and there may be times when I need you to entertain people, clients for example, by taking them to lunch. There may be dinners that I need you to attend, and judging by the suit you wore yesterday, you’ll need to buy appropriate attire.” The shade of red she turns at that comment can only be described as tomato. “I would never ask you to spend your own money on that when your job with me is temporary.”
