East Lobby

Angelina POV “Have a great weekend! Don’t party to hard.” Angelina said with a cringe that could be felt in anyone’s stomach. Yet to her demise she didn’t care or know it was cringy. It was how she was, goofy. She adjusted her white blouse and burgundy skirt then sat back down in her chair while the rest of employees of MIRAGE corp. leave to go home from the work day. Everyone in this office building dressed in luxurious type clothes. The men looked sharp and stoic and the ladies looked sexy and well kept. She liked how this world was more black and white than her pack life back home. *These people get me hot n bothered* said her wolf Adeline. - Dear Gods, you’re going to make me lose it. Hold yourself together- I said back to her in my head. To think this little hussy raises my body temperature when she senses the humans as they walk through our lobby. *Oh come on it’s been forever since you’ve been on a date. You’re safe now. Plus a human might treat you so much better than what we left behind at the pack house* -Shut up Addy, you have no idea what could be lurking around. Sure we left, but- I get cut off before I could even finish. *But nothing Angelina! That’s behind us*. I roll my eyes and shove her back when I get a whiff of an interesting scent. I’m drawn from spacing out of my computer screen when a shadow is hovering over my desk and my gaze meets the most gorgeous pair of sky blue eyes I’ve ever seen in my life. My eyes widen “M-mr. Miller!” I stutter out, “to what do I owe the pleasure of your presence here sir?” I begin to rise from my seat, but before I can do so he raises his hand up to stop me. “Please stay seated” his is deep voice with a commanding New York accent to it makes me melt inside and basically driving my wolf wild *let me get a taste of that scrum-diddly-umptious man* -shut up!- I push her to the back of my mind. I adjust myself back into my seat not breaking his gaze. A soft smile rest on my face. “Ahm, well you’re the first face everyone in the building meets and I had to see for myself who it would be.” He said in a gentle way. My face lights up at the praise, “well I wouldn’t want to let this company down sir. We’ve all got a part to place.” “That we do miss…” he trails off I probably had stupid look on my face before I caught on. “Oh, Russo! Angelina.. Russo. Yep that’s my name..” I trail off with a nervous smile and laugh. *you sure blew that* Adeline commented to my ridiculous response. He smiles a dazzling smile back to me “beautiful, very fitting for a young lady such as yourself. I must thank you.” I smile and nod back, he backs away from my desk as soon as his phone rings. Looking down at the screen to see who is call “I have to take this, I’ll see you around Ms. Russo.” “See ya sir…” but his back was already turned and he walked away talking on the phone. *how bad do you think your royal-cringe ness screwed up what could have been?*-you know what I don’t need your comments miss. Can kiss shifting this weekend goodbye!- I retort back.
