They were finally at the hallway, and the door was already open—the cold night air to welcome the man into its freezing arms. She just had to kick him out now. Never mind what ghastly critters could crawl inside as the man continued to stall—what mattered right now was that the she’d get some peace and quiet.
“I’m looking forward to working with you Miss Lizzie.” The man stretched his hand out for her to take, a respectful gesture. Politeness prompted Elizabeth to hold it and shake his hand for a few moments—he held her gently, as if she was a lady that was to be treasured perhaps. She simply gave him a curt nod.
“Thank you Mister Lewis, I am looking forward for our professional relationship as well.”
