Liv rolled her eyes.Of course, not. It’s mostly a boys’ club anyway.
“He’s completely dedicated to his work,” Marissa said. “I always try to beat him into the office in the morning, and I never do.”
“Wow.”
“I’m done for the day,” Marissa said. “Do you want to walk out with me?”
“No,” Liv answered. “I’m trying to finish up this new video I’m working on. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Liv put on her headphones and lost herself in her work.
A little while later, she felt a tap on her shoulder and looked up to see Senator Sterling standing in front of her. She slid off her headphones.
“Do you want something to eat?” he asked.
She looked at her watch. It was 9:30. “I didn’t realize it was so late.”
He smiled. “I ordered some takeout. I have plenty,” he said.
Her stomach rumbled at the thought of food.
“Ok,” she said, following him over to the food. “Thank you.”
She started to walk back to her desk.
“Sit with me,” he said.
She sat across from him and set down her food. She glanced around the room noticing that they were alone, and all the doors were shut. It didn’t feel weird until this moment.
They ate in silence.
“I’m sorry I struck you out,” she said.
He leaned his head back and laughed.
“I was wondering if you were going to go easy on me on that last pitch,” he said.
“Nope,” she said, with a smirk.
“I would have done the same thing,” he said. “I’m glad however you didn’t kill Senator Collinsworth with a fastball.”
“I figured I didn’t want to go down in history that way,” Liv answered, between bites. “She is a national treasure.”
“That she is,” Will said. “Something we agree on.”
They continued eating in silence.
“We’ve really gotten off to a bad start,” he said.
“You could say that...” she agreed.
“So, tell me about yourself,” he said. “Harvard Law Review?”
She let out a laugh. “So, you’ve read up on me?”
“Well, I hired you, so I’d hope so.”
She smiled. “You didn’t know about my athletic career.”
