A
nna sat down at her desk, excited but nervous at the same
time. It was her first day at her new job at Fisher Holdings, and
her new coworker Chuck sat down next to her to explain her job
duties. Chuck looked to be in his mid-twenties, around Anna’s age,
and seemed like a really nice guy. Anna was glad to have somebody
her age at the office; at her last job she’d been the youngest by
far. She jotted down some notes, but the job seemed pretty
straightforward—as an Executive Assistant, her role was to support
the CEO, Brian Fisher. This mostly involved setting up his meetings
with clients, making some phone calls on his behalf, and responding
to emails in his inbox.

Chuck went on and explained that he
used to support Brian, but now that Anna was starting, he would be
supporting their CFO. “I asked to be switched,” he
clarified.

“Why did you ask to be
switched?”

“Because Brian is an…,” Chuck stopped
upon seeing the worried look come across Anna’s face. “I mean,
nothing, nothing, you’ll be fine!” Anna still didn’t look
reassured. “You’ll be good,” Chuck said hurriedly, “I’ll be at my
desk if you have any questions.” And he walked off.

Ok, Anna thought to herself, I can do
this. So what if Chuck doesn’t like Brian? That doesn’t necessarily
mean he’ll be terrible to work for.

She started in on a few emails and
phone calls, and was able to get a hold of a few clients and
schedule meetings for Brian. She pulled up Brian’s calendar on her
computer screen, and even though she’d expected him to be busy, she
was shocked to see how booked his schedule was, from early morning
often late into the night.

Is this guy always working? Anna
thought to herself as she looked for a time to squeeze in the
client meetings.

“How’s it going, Anna?” Her manager,
Julie, had come to check in on her. Julie was a friendly, bubbly
woman in her late forties. Anna showed Julie the meetings she’d set
up and her progress in going through Brian’s many unread emails.
“That’s great!” said Julie, “You’re really getting the hang of this
quickly. But you’ll have to confirm the meetings with Brian. You’ve
probably already figured out that he doesn’t open all of his
calendar invitations. You’ll have to try him on his phone. Maybe
email. It’ll be good for you to introduce yourself to him anyway,
get to know each other a little.”

“Yes, sounds good, thanks Julie!” Anna
smiled and picked up the phone. She wasn’t sure why, but she felt a
rush of nerves as she dialed Brian’s number. Maybe it was what
Chuck said earlier. Anna didn’t need to be nervous though, because
Brian didn’t answer. She left a voicemail briefly introducing
herself and mentioning the meetings she set up, then also sent an
email with a similar message, just in case. And then she waited.
She glanced at her phone. She had a few texts from her mom, her
sister, and her best friend, all asking her how her new job was
going. Anna responded. Then she sent a few more emails and made a
few more phone calls to clients.

Before she knew it, it was 4:30, and
still no reply from Brian. Anna looked across the room to where
Chuck sat. He was chatting away happily on the phone. When he hung
up, Anna walked over and explained that she’d tried to contact
Brian but still hadn’t heard back.

“Typical!” Chuck said. “Don’t worry
about it, you’ve done your job, you don’t have to wait around to
talk to him. We get to go home at 5. Brian isn’t one to want to
chat anyway.”

“Can you tell me more about him?” Anna
prodded. She wanted to find out why Chuck didn’t like Brian. Was he
really that bad?

“Oh, well, you know. He’s the CEO of
the company so I guess he just… knows he’s important,” Chuck said,
smirking slightly. “He’s not too much older than us, either. He’s
like, 35. But you’d never know it from talking to him. I was
shocked when I saw him in person for the first time. He only even
comes in the office every few weeks or so and he barely talks to us
when he does. Like I said, he knows he’s important.”

Great, Anna thought as she returned to
her desk and started packing up her stuff to go home. He does sound
like a jerk. But, it’s not like I expected to be friends with the
CEO anyway. It’s a job. And a good, well-paying job too, she
reassured herself.

Just as she was saying goodbye to
Julie, Chuck, and her other coworkers whose names she was still
struggling to learn, a new emailed popped up in her inbox. An email
from Brian, in response to her email that she’d sent introducing
herself and telling him about the meetings.

OK, the email read. Just those two
letters, OK. Wow, Anna laughed to herself as she walked down the
stairs, Chuck was right. Brian sure doesn’t seem like the
friendliest guy ever. “You’ll be fine,” she said aloud to herself,
repeating Chuck’s reassuring words from earlier. “You’ll be
good.”

Anna knew her living situation wasn’t
the most glamorous, but she really didn’t mind it. She’d moved back
in with her parents the previous month after breaking up with her
boyfriend of three years. She had been living with her boyfriend
for the past year, and in that time it had become clear that they
weren’t meant to be together. He was a nice, fun guy and
everything, but something was missing. Romance? Passion, maybe?
Anna wasn’t quite sure exactly what she was looking for, but she
had decided that she should probably take some time to herself to
figure out what she wanted, both from a relationship and from life
in general.

So she’d moved out of their
one-bedroom apartment in the city, quit her sales job that she
hated, and moved back in with her parents, who were still living in
the home she grew up in out in the suburbs. “25 and living with my
parents,” Anna would joke to her close friends, “I must be going
through a quarter life crisis!” But really, she felt a little
relieved at having this chance to start over, in a way, and
discover a new path to a happier life.

When she got home from work, Anna went
on a quick run. It felt great getting outside, especially after
spending the day in the cool, air-conditioned office. Anna breathed
in the warm summer air and happily hummed along to her iPod as she
jogged through her neighborhood. After returning home and taking a
shower, she made dinner for herself and her parents and told them
about her first day.

Later that evening, Anna’s best friend
from high school, Macy, texted to say she was stopping by. Macy
still lived in town, too, but had her own apartment. Anna soon
heard her knock on the door, and let her into the living room,
where they sat on the couch and Macy immediately wanted to hear
everything about Anna’s new job. “Sounds like kind of a jerk,” she
said about Brian after Anna filled her in on Chuck’s opinions and
the two-letter email. “CEO at only 35 though? Wow.” She sat in
thought for a moment. “What does he look like?”

It dawned on Anna that even she didn’t
know what Brian looked like, so they pulled up her laptop and
Googled his name.

Anna and Macy both stared at the
laptop screen, speechless, and then turned toward each other. Macy
was the first to break the silence. “Forget what I said about being
a jerk… he’s HOT!” She burst out laughing and nudged Anna. “Lucky
you! What a sexy CEO!”

Anna giggled but tried to keep a
straight face. “Oh, who cares what he looks like. He’s my boss. And
probably a jerk. And besides, that’s probably just a good photo.”
But she couldn’t quite peel her eyes away from Brian’s picture. He
was muscular but not too big, with smooth, tan skin, dark brown
hair, and the most piercing blue eyes Anna had ever seen. He had
just a hint of a smile on his face, like he had a secret.
“Alright,” Anna finally said, forcing herself to close her browser
window and shut down her laptop. “Enough work talk!” And they moved
onto other topics, mostly discussing Macy’s new boyfriend and
analyzing their last date.

When Macy left, Anna went to bed, very
tired, but also slightly more excited about her new job.

The rest of the week passed by
quickly, and was fairly uneventful. Anna still couldn’t believe how
many emails Brian received and how many meetings filled his
calendar. She couldn’t imagine ever working that many hours. How
did he not get burned out with all those long days?

That Friday afternoon after work, Anna
went to happy hour with Chuck and a few of their other young
coworkers, Susan, Mike, and Carly. Anna could tell from a few
comments that they made that everyone seemed to share Chuck’s
opinion of Brian, that he had a “huge ego” and was
“intense.”
