news.  As I told you before, the partners vote on whom to choose. 
Use the information you learn and the skills you acquire in everything you do
over the next five years.  Be sure to volunteer for every project when a notice
goes out that extra help is needed.  Come in to the office early and stay late
often.  It’s not that you will have no life.  It is important to have some sort
of outlet.  Just make sure that work is your primary focus.  These things will
get you noticed and these things will get you nominated for partner.  I know
you can do this Sarah.”
                He was so sincere I was a bit
taken aback.  I could see that he really wanted this for me but I was confused
as to why.  Usually when you care deeply for someone you have a vested interest
in whatever they do and you want them to succeed.  I was just an intern turned
associate, a smart one I might add, but an associate nonetheless with whom he
had amazing sexual chemistry.  Why did he care if I actually made partner?  I
didn’t have time to dwell on that, I had three huge files waiting for me.
                “Shall I get started on
these?”
                He said yes and told me what
needed to be done.
                “I am going to need the
results by next Friday for the first two folders and results the following
Tuesday for the third folder.  We will be discussing all three files at the
meeting with Jameson the following day, that Wednesday before we leave.  We
need analysis and figures telling us where Jameson Industries stands
financially.  We need to know how solid their portfolio is.  They want to grow
and we are going to give them the best advice to do so.  The three folders you
are going to be working on contain information on three of their most recent
investments.  We need to make sure they are making sound decisions.  Compile
the data so we can go over it at the next couple of meetings.  We will combine
your findings with everyone else’s findings on their other investments, and
hopefully have a productive meeting with them in a couple of weeks.”
                “When are we leaving?”
                “Oh, I’m sorry.  I didn’t have
your calendar updated.  We leave two weeks from this Friday.  We are taking a
morning flight and all of your bags will be packed for you.  You don’t have to
worry about that.  We also are going to a charity event for autism the night before
we leave.  I take it you purchased an evening gown on your day of shopping?”
                “Yes.”
                “Good.  I usually am unable to
attend because I am in the States, so I just send a check.  This time, since I
am here, we are going.”
                We?  Did he mean everybody
from the office?   He must have read the confused look on my face because he
answered my question without me having to ask it.
                “Everyone from the office is
invited, and most will attend.  It’s a night for everyone to have a nice
evening out and support charity at the same time.  Samira will make sure you
get an invitation.”
                I wondered if we would be
going together.  I didn’t want to ask because I didn’t want to seem
presumptuous.  Joshua didn’t mention anything more so I decided to just wait
and see.
                “I should get back to my
office and leave you to your work.”  He held my gaze and looked like he wanted
to say something to me.  Can you tell how much I want to be with you?   I
waited, but nothing came and he got up and walked out of my office.
                I pushed aside my feelings of
disappointment of not being asked to attend the charity event with him.  Maybe
it was a group thing and everyone goes together in a caravan.  Who knows?  
It was time to focus on work.           
                I felt a little over my head
but I knew
