It was late October and there was a buzz around the office today. Everyone was talking about the young woman in the lobby, especially the guys. She was supposed to be transferring in from one of our other offices. I happened to walk by our CIO's office and there she was. I smiled at her and she smiled back. She had an incredible smile, it would light up an entire room. There was something very different about her. She was wearing a flower pattern outfit, I believe the correct term was a skort (part shorts/part skirt). She was tall, mostly legs with shoulder-length brown hair. By looking at her, she could have passed for a multitude of nationalities. She looked exotic, like she was a mixture of Asian and Caucasian. One of my friends asked me, "Isn't she beautiful?". I quickly remarked that I thought she was ok, not wanting to reveal what I really thought. He shot me a quizzical look to let me know he didn't believe me. As I walked away, I couldn't help feel that there was something familiar about her and I was certain that I had seen her before.
Later that day, I saw her with Patrick, who was the assistant to the CIO and was transferring to another area. I asked about her. He told me that her name is Sharon and she would be taking his place. He also added that she was taken and was engaged to someone high up. I kept thinking about her and how beautiful she was and thought to myself, it’s too bad she is taken.
