cash even more.
“You'll have it for me today bro?”
Adam nodded emphatically, “Consider
it done.”
By lunchtime Dominique found that
she was more than capable with keeping up with the large volume of incoming
file requests, and unless they were marked urgent, she was allowed until five
the following day to get the files pulled, checked and placed in the properbin . So far, none were marked urgent and she found herself more than caught up
by one o'clock. While sitting at her desk, her computer chimed notifying her of
an incoming email, this one was marked urgent. Dominique smiled when she opened
the e-mail and read the message.
From the desk of Adam Caruso ,
File clerks have to eat too.
Please allow me to help you with that and take you to lunch, my treat.
Dominique was hungry and it was
lunchtime. Well it’s certainly better than eating alone, she thought to
herself as she replied back.
Dear Adam,
Don’t need help with the eating
part, but would be more than willing to accept your offer to pay part. It being
my first day and all.
Dominique.
Five minutes later Adam was leaning
against the doorway of Dominique's office.
“You ready to go?” He said smiling
as he stood aside and let her lead the way.
Jonathan Caruso sat at his desk
with the door open, he was about to head to a lunch meeting when he saw his son
Adam and Dominique walk by. He moved hastily from behind his desk while he
called out to his son. Adam stopped in his tracks, turned and faced his father.
“What's up dad? Was about to head
out to lunch,” he said glancing at Dominique who stood patiently waiting.
“Yeah, I need to talk to you for a
minute son.”
“Well can it wait until after lunch
dad?”
“No it can't son, I’m gonna need
you to come into my office. Dominique?” He said as he made his way towards her,
hand out stretched.
“Yes sir, nice to meet you,” she
said giving him a firm hand shake.
“Dominique I hate to do this to you
but I’m going to have to steal your lunch partner away from you but if you need
any suggestions of where to go, I’m sure Molly will be more than happy to help
you out. Again, I apologize but I have a pressing matter that cannot wait.”
“No need to explain sir I
understand completely.”
“I knew you would, thank you.” And
with that he took his son by the arm and closed the door behind them.
Well that wasn’t awkward, thought Dominique as she headed towards Molly's desk. Molly was more than happy
to accept Dominique's invitation to lunch as not many employees took the time
to befriend her. Over lunch Dominique couldn’t help but ask Molly what she knew
about Adam and his brother Brandon. Molly was more than happy to divulge as
much information as she could. Although she told Dominique it was just
office gossip, she explained that Adam was the golden child of Jonathan and Muriel
Caruso, and that Brandon was obviously the black sheep of the family. He was
always getting into trouble but his dad always got him out of it either with
money or clout. When she asked Molly if Adam was married, Molly let out a
giggle.
“What’s so funny?” Dominique asked,
“Is he gay? Is that why you’re laughing? It would certainly explain his
impeccable good looks and sense of style,” Dominique said shaking her head.
“Adam, gay? No, of course
not.” Molly could not stop giggling.
“Alright, so he's not gay, is he
married?”
“No, it’s nothing like that she
said giggle down to a smile. I was laughing because this is the kind of stuff
that friends talk about Dominique and since I'm seriously lagging in that
department, it made me happy that’s all,” she said to Dominique.
“Well you have one now Molly,” said
Dominique, glad because she too felt like she made a new friend.
Molly smiled again as she told her
everything she knew about Adam. By the time their lunch hour was over,
Dominique had found out quite a bit about him. Although he was bit of a flirt,
as far as Molly
