"Hi Katie." Anna beamed at her boyfriend's assistant who was at the photocopier when she walked onto the office floor off the elevator.
"Hey, how's it going?" Katie asked, a friendly smile on her face.
"I'm fine, thanks. Do you know if Colin's in yet?" Katie wished she hadn't asked that question, because she didn't know what to say then. There was an awkward silence for a minute before she spoke.
"Um, no. Not yet. But he should be here soon." She looked at her watch then back at Anna. "He should be here before noon like he usually is. But you can go right in to his office and wait if you want. I'm sure he wouldn't mind."
"Sure. Thanks."
Anna's face dropped once Katie answered her question with a no.
