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.
“Forlegallady 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.
“You were there?”
“Yeah, I was helping him pick a good assistant,” Adrien says.
“No, Goldie is out for a dentist appointment, and he was bored, so he crashed my interviews,” I tell Theo.
He snorts as he starts to shuffle some papers on his desk.
“But I do like her, and I was hoping for some legal advice before I try to woo her,” I admit.
“Woo her?” Theo asks with a disgusted look on his face. “Yeah, I think you’ll be safe from any legal trouble if you go around talking like that.”
Adrien snorts, and I feel my face heat with embarrassment. We met in college and became fast friends. When we graduated, we moved to Los Angeles and eventually were all able to start up our businesses in the same building. Now, we can pop in on each other whenever we want. We also have a standing dinner every Thursday night.
Out of the three of us, I’m the worst with the ladies. I’m the dorky nerd, whereas Adrien is tall, dark, and handsome. He’s so charming, and that’s part of what makes him so great at his job in advertising.
Theo is the bad boy, the grumpy loner who is mysterious. Women see him and want to fix him, make him smile, and bring him out of his shell. I doubt that will ever happen, and if it does, then I know that it will have been Clara who did it. She’s the beauty to his beast, but he would never admit to being into her. Instead, they snap back and forth at each other, trading barbs and jabs constantly.
