undo the next button on my gray silk blouse. Okay, I’m ready. After taking a
deep breath, I head out of my office to meet Mrs. Leila Williams, ignoring
“Your Love is King” humming gently from inside my desk.
Leila looks much better. More than better—she’s very attractive. There’s a

shiny. She’s dressed in a pale pink blouse and white
