"Hard work matters, but choosing the right thing to work hard on. That's what's really important."
Walter towered over Minnie, their height difference adding to his allure.
He looked down at her with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, capturing the moment with an intensity that was hard to look away from.
Life could be so unfair. Some people would spend their whole lives searching for that perfect someone and would never find them. For a lucky few, just one look was all it took to fall head over heels Walter was definitely one of the lucky ones.
His drop-dead gorgeous looks had Minnie head over heels, and she could practically feel the magnetic pull of his charm.
"M-Mr. Walter Gordon." Her words tripped over themselves, her heart racing like it had never raced
before.
Walter usually played it cool with her, only giving her the time of day when she practically threw herself at him. Even then, his replies were short and formal, keeping her at arm's length. On this day, strangely, he seemed like a different person.....
Minnie held her hand to her chest, barely containing her excitement. Had he finally seen how much she cared?
What if he found out she was actually Julia, the girl he had been crushing on for ages? Would that blow
his mind?
Then, in a flash...
"Ms. Kast, is there something else you need?" Walter's gaze snapped back to his usual, unapproachable
CEO self.
The change was so quick that Minnie wondered if she had been imagining things. Still, she was sure of it Walter had been flirting with her!
He must have remembered they were at the office and that flirting here was not the best idea. That had
to be it!
With a newfound resolve, Minnie realized she had accomplished what she had come for. It was time to make a graceful exit. "No, that's about it. I'll head back to my desk."
Her face lit up with a dazzling smile, and with a slight nod, she gracefully exited the office. However, Minnie did not head back to the secretarial pool. Instead, she veered off at the corner, slipping into the restroom.
Backed against the stall door, she took out her phone and made a call.
"You know you're playing with fire, calling me now, right?" The voice on the line was scratchy, altered by some kind of voice encryption. Still, the annoyance was unmistakable.
Minnie, however, was used to this kind of reception and did not let it faze her. "I just had to share the

news with you first!"
The person on the other end let out a weary sigh. "Alright, spill it. What's the big news?"
Minnie was practically bouncing with glee, but she muffled her squeal, remembering she was in a public place. "Guess what? Walter actually flirted with me today! Can you believe it? He's never given me the time of day, and then-bam! Out of the blue!" The voice came back, icy and sharp, "When things seem off, they usually are. Be careful."
Minnie shrugged it off. "I know, I know. That's why I'm checking in with you.
"What am I, a walking encyclopedia? You always come to me with your problems." The voice was teasing, but Minnie's reply was dead serious. "You always have the answers, no matter how tough the question. So, come on, spill it. Is there trouble for Walter and Evangeline?"
