Duty Calls
The Billionaire of New York City
"Ah, Miss Owens. Great you could come, please come in."
I stood up and walked through the door which Mr.Carter was holding open for me.
"Please take a seat."
I did.
"So if you do get this job there will be late night tasks. So to see if you are qualified I called you."
A little blindsided I questioned him.
"What kind of tasks will I be doing exactly?"
"Well a variety. Tonight I want you to put all of these 56 letters" he gestured to a stack of papers on his desk "into envelopes and write the addresses given and go drop them off at the downtown post office."
"Okay. Should I get to it then?"
"That would be wise." He gave me a cold stare. And briskly walked out of his office. Brushing off his mood towards me I picked up the letters along with the envelopes and sat down at an extra desk.
It was 9:27 when I had 15 letters left. Mr.Carter had not been seen till he first left.
9:35
Searching the room for stamps, I walked to his desk and opened the top drawer.
"What are you doing?"
I quickly jumped in my place with the drawer still open.
"Oh. I was- I was trying to find stamps for the letters."
"They're in your desk. Middle drawer." And with that he turned around and left again.
At 10:26 I had finally finished with letters. Their stamps stamped and addresses written. I went to the coat hangar and grabbed my jacket. I started to put it on when I felt someone behind me.
"Here. Let me help you." I peered over my shoulder and could see his perfect sculpted face. Up close. Every detail. His eyes met mine. He gave me a warm smile.
"Thank you. I was just about to drop these letters off."
"Oh yes of course. After, you may return home. You did well tonight. Thank you."
He gave me another warm smile and walked to his desk and started typing away on his computer.
I grabbed the letters and walked out the door.

By the time I got home it was 11:03. I switched into something more comfortable and got a glass of water. I snuggled myself in my bed covers and visioned Mr. Carter. And with that image I fell into a deep sleep.

I will probably make these longer once I know I got an audience. No matter how big or small. Thanks!
