Cori gasped as she felt her right heel snap mid step, sending her head first into the office from the hallway. The papers and files she had been carrying went flying and fluttered around her making an even larger spectacle than she already had. Se clenched her eyes shut as she felt the breeze high on her thighs, 'how lovely..my skirt is up up round my waist too, way to add insult to injury', she tugged her skirt down quickly before getting to her knees and starting to gather her papers. As she looked up and around for her things her breath caught and she held in a groan, an unbelievably cute man was gathering up sheaves of paper, and he was most definitely a witness to her pantie choice today judging from the small smile curving his lips. She put her head down and continued gather and stacking papers. Entirely too soon there were no more to gather and a hand in her field of vision that went with a soft voice laced with laughter. "I think that's all of them, let me help you up." She looked up to meet his gaze as she took his hand and stood with his help, careful of her broken shoe. " What did you trip over by the way?"
"My high heel broke..." She put a hand against the wall and took off said offending footwear, with both heels dangling from her hand she straightened and then bent to pick up her papers, adding the ones he had collected to her pile, "Thank you." She lifted her papers and was about to escape to her office.
"No problem, um also do you happen to know when Corinthia Solinidias will be in?"
Cori bit back another groan, "Yes, why do you ask?"
"I am from TechSci Inc. to work with her on the new project 'smart homes'." He smiled earnestly.
She closed her eyes and muttered softly, "Of course you are..." she shook herself and regained her composure, "Well come with me then." She lead him to her office while she pondered her luck, before deciding if she thought about it any longer that she would probably need professional help. "So you are the project manager over at TechSci?" She made conversation as she opened her door and toed the jam into place to keep it open, she put her papers carefully on her desk and dropped her shoes onto the shoe shelf by her door disgustedly and then opened the blinds and the window.
"As of this morning, the previous manager was found to be doing a few less than legal things, I was in a different project that was near completion so they transferred me to this position and my assistant took over the old one, quite the pay raise and change in scenery for me." He looked around her office curiously, noting the art work that graced the walls, including quite a few pictures of tattoos, the large cherry wood desk that she was now standing behind with two computers, it was all together very modern, and looked more like it belonged in an art gallery or private home than the office he was now standing in. "So...Mrs. Solinidias will be back soon?" He wasn't sure what to make of the woman in front of him, her expression was cynical her clothes modern business casual, and her hair a tumble of controlled waves, slightly at odds with the tattoos gracing her legs and the lacy black thong he had caught a glimpse of when she had spilled into the reception office and her skirt had ended up around her waist.
Cori smiled and offered a hand, "Ms. Corinthia Solinidias, but as we will be working together for the foreseeable future, you may call me Cori like everyone else does."
