Ben From Accounting: Office Gentlemen, #1

By Sophie Stern

I'm not supposed to get involved with people at work. It's a bad idea, and everyone knows it. There's an unwritten rule at Blossom Falls about dating: don't. Don't get involved with people you work with. Don't fall for people you have to see every day.

Then Alice walks through the doors, and I throw everything I've ever believed in out the window.

She's sweet.

She's shy.

She has no idea what's good for her.

And I'm going to make her mine.

Chapter One

Alice

Iforgot my panties .

Seriously, it’s the first day of work, and that’s my problem? Most girls might forget their ID and have trouble filling out their paperwork. Maybe they’ll forget their boss’ last name and look stupid during a meeting.

Me, though?

I forgot my panties.

Somehow, I was in such a rush that it slipped my mind until now.

Now that I’m standing in front of the 10-story building.

Now that I’m getting ready to walk through those doors, every little rush of wind tingles against my skin, and I realize that I’m in over my head.

Who am I kidding? Thinking I’m good enough for the likes of Blossom Falls is a huge mistake. I’m making a mistake. I’m just some 23-year-old kid, fresh out of school. I don’t have work experience. I don’t even have my own car. Why did I think it was a good idea to apply to work at the biggest software company in the city?

What do I even know about marketing?

I should leave.

I should turn around, flag a taxi, and head back to my tiny, overpriced apartment. That would be the smart thing to do. That would be the wise choice. Not everyone can make it in the business world, after all. Things here are cutthroat and dire. Things are rough. My friends will understand. They won’t judge me. Hell, they might even float me a little cash for rent.

You can’t depend on other people forever.

It’s true.

Even as I stare at the building, I know I’m not going to leave. I’m not going to turn around. I’m not going to quit. I’m going to do this. I have to do it.

Mom and Dad have always told me I could do anything, be anything. Now is my time to prove that they’re right. It all starts with this first step. People are walking by me, pushing and shoving and hurrying. I’m sure everyone thinks I’m crazy. They probably all think I’m nuts: just some crazy woman who works in the mail room or something, but I’m not.

Nope.

I’m the new marketing associate and I’m going to be incredible.

I’m going to be great.

I can
