Was this hers?
“It’s an assistant position, and your girl seemed more than qualified for that job,” he assures me, and I sigh as I set the resume on the pile.
“Maybe I should get Theo’s opinion on all of this,” I murmur, and Adrien barks out a laugh.
“Get Theo’s opinion on what? Dating? Winning over a woman? Because I can assure you that you don’t want his advice on either of those things. I mean, you’ve seen him with Clara, right?” He asks me, and I huff out a laugh.
“Yeah, I’ve seen him with Clara. I think his eye is still twitching from that damn chair she put in his office.”
“I know. I’m surprised that he’s kept it in there.”
“A bet’s a bet, I guess,” I say, and he nods. “I meant I should get his advice on dating a coworker. Someone who works for me. Maybe there’s some form I can have her sign that will protect me in case things go bad.”
Part of me wonders if this is way too premature. I just met this girl, barely spoke a handful of words to her, and already I’m imagining a life that revolves solely around her. That’s crazy.
Is it, though? My subconscious asks.
I’ve always thrown myself into projects and passions. I guess that my passions have just always been business and technology. I’ve never been interested in dating or having a girlfriend. I was always too busy with school and then making my business the best it could be.
I succeed in that now, so maybe it’s time for me to focus on settling down a bit. This… Nichole, I think as I read her name off of the resume before me, hoping that it’s the right one, well, she just might be the one for me.
“Let’s go see Theo then,” Adrien says, clapping his hands as he stands and starts to stride out of the room.
I sigh as I push to my feet and follow after him. We head into the elevator and hit the button for the top floor. As soon as the doors open to Theo’s law firm, we head past all of the desks and cubicles to the hallway that leads back to his office.
Clara, his assistant, is sitting at her desk just outside of his office, a tired look on her face.
“Hey, Clara. How’s it going?” Adrien asks her as we approach.
“Boring. We just finished a case, and he’s been taking it easy ever since,” she tells us.
“I literally just took on three new clients today!” Theo yells from his office, and she rolls her eyes.
“Yeah, boring ones,” she whispers to us. “My eyes are glazing over just thinking about them.”
“They’re not boring,” Theo says as he stops in his doorway and glowers at her.
“Yes, they are,” she mouths to us.
“I think that I’ll take a long lunch,” she says to Theo, and before he can respond, she’s grabbing her purse and phone and heading off down the hallway.
“And you wanted to come to Theo for lady advice,” Adrien says with a chuckle.
“For legal lady advice,” I stress.
“Oh, God. What did you do?” Theo asks with a pained expression.
“He hired the love of his life,” Adrien informs him.
Theo just sighs as he turns and heads back into his office. We follow after him and drop down in the seats across from his desk.
“You found a new assistant then?” He asks me, and I nod.
“Yeah, Nichole… something… I think.”
“You think? You don’t even know her last name, but she’s the love of your life?” He questions, and I shrug.
“You had to be there,” Adrien tells him.
