The Protege chapter 4

... Cynthia. What was the job opportunity? What..."

"You won't believe it!" She cut in. "I have an interview with the fucking Yankees!"

"What?" My heart raced with excitement.

"I can't believe it! I no sooner let the words out of my mouth that I was more interested in marketing than finance, when she grabbed my hand and silenced me. Then her eye's went big and she said, "I was just talking with a friend from the Yankees yesterday." I told her, I loved the Yankees and she asked if I would be interested in working for them. I screamed, hell yes. The next thing I knew she was dialing the phone. She spoke to their VP of Marketing and got me an interview Tuesday for an entry level slot in fan relations!"

"Holy crap Stacey, that's amazing! She knows everyone! Are you excited? You'll do great. Talk about dream jobs!" I decided I better tone it down or she might get a little overwhelmed by it all.

"Excited, terrified, ecstatic, shitting my pants. I'm off the rails Lecia." She said stressed.

As we continued to talk, I found myself mesmerized by her face. She had on black headphones that contrasted with her burgundy hair and made her all the more cute.

I was so glad we video chatted. It is so much more personal than talking on the phone. I felt so much more connected.

When the conversation turned to my career, it was a relief to vent all the anxiety and excitement I had been going through, while seeing her face and the genuine happiness that I was living my dream. As the conversation turned to Cynthia, I was overcome by the urge to come clean about my relationship with my new boss.

"Stacey, something has developed between Cynthia and me that I need to share with you. I hope this won't affect anything between us or you won't think any less of me, but..." I hesitated.

"You two are pursuing a personal relationship." She said with a knowing grin.

"Is it that obvious?" I asked relieved she was at least smiling.

"Honestly, I just thought you were ...
