"No fraternization with the bosses" was rule number one. No matter how cute he was, I couldn't risk my job. I wouldn't jeopardize my one chance to escape my life by dating my boss.
He was watching me. Not only was I the youngest secretary on the third floor, but Mr. Hendrix was the only man under forty in company management. I thought about his looksthe way that one lock of hair curled over his forehead, his aquiline profile, those broad shouldersand then I shut down that train of thought.
He really was a nice guy. Why can't I find a guy like him to whisk me away from my sucky life?
No man had ever shown me tenderness. Not one. Life with my father was hard fists and harsh words. Men outside the family either ignored me or showed unwanted attention with catcalls and roaming hands.
Occasionally, I had heard of a girl here hitting the jackpot and her boss marrying her, but most of the time the boss had his fun, and the girl got fired. That would not be me. Not this girl. No way.
