The Heirs Daughter

Walking to my desk that sits in front of Buford's glass office, setting my stuff down and getting ready for the day. Looking at the day's schedule for calls, meetings, and making sure his time is proficiently spent before he comes in.

Answering a call while I see him get off the elevator to his office, nodding to me. It's another appointment that I have to squeeze in his day cutting lunch short, goes to show how much his clients love him.

He crackles on the intercom for me to come in his office a few minutes later, grabbing up my tablet that has everything linked to his daily schedule."Good morning Mr. Nolan, We have a busy schedule today, it will cut lunch short by twenty minutes, but everything else is on schedule" he never looks up while he is shuffling through papers and talks to me.

"That's fine, I can order in Chinese, I'm expecting an old friend of mine to stop by today, Can you please see him in when he arrives"

Nodding my head "Yes sir, Does your friend have name?"

Buford looks up with a twinkle in his eye "Yes I apologize, his name is Remey Borne, he's an old childhood friend, I haven't seen him since I graduated law school"

Tapping the name away on the tablet I reply "If there is not anything else, I will go get our day started" he smiles at me with a beaming smile and watches me walk out the door.

The rest of the morning passed by at a fast pace, this job requires me to multitask, answering phones, making appointments, research for cases, filing, and nonstop moving. Before I know it, Buford is telling me to order lunch and do not disturb him until the next appointment, he usually makes calls that are unscheduled during this time. His lunch and mine arrive, after giving him his, I head to the break room to eat.

There are a few temps in the room as I sit and eat. One second I'm eating, and the next Gary from down the hall bumps into me on accident and sends me in this weird trance-like state.

It seems like I was in the trance for hours but it was only seconds, I see Gary strolling through the French quarters with a woman late at night, and out of nowhere a bright light flashes.

Gary leaves the women and runs to the flash in the alley, only to see a hooded figure send another flash of light, at another figure running down the alley and hits them, the guy falling down dead.

Gary screams at the hooded figure, he turns around and I can't see his face, only bright eyes in panic as he sees Gary. The hooded figure quickly gains his thoughts and then a bright light flashes again, and there on the ground, hooded figure was gone, Gary lies on the ground eyes staring into nothing, face frozen in shock, Dead.

Quickly gathering the rest of my uneaten lunch and freaking out a bit, I throw it away and glance back at Gary. What was that?!

Walking back to my desk thinking that was so realistic, vivid like my dreams but I remember everything, how? Would this really happen? This can't be real! Why haven't I seen anything like this before after them touching, probably because I don't socialize much with coworkers, or no one gets close enough to touch me except Zaline.

Chalking it up to being sleep deprived and maybe a little too caffeinated, I sit back at my desk. Lunch is over and it's back to work.

I glance at the clock and see it's almost three o'clock, one more hour and I'm done for the day. Deep in thought in my research a few minutes later I hear a deep unfamiliar voice "Hello they're gorgeous"

Looking up I see a man with short-cropped black hair, even stronger jawline than Buford, well-toned and very tan, dressed in a casual blue t-shirt and jeans.

I smiled at him, I freeze before I can say anything. Did it just get hot in here? Whys my tongue not working? Those blue eyes look familiar...

Gathering myself after seeing him smirk with appreciation "Hello, I'm Acadia, Mr. Nolan's assistant, may I help you?"

He still has that smirk which seems to go even deeper and leaving me even more dazed "Hello Acadia, I'm Remey Borne, I'm here to see Buford" still having trouble gathering my thoughts as I process what he says.

"Oh hello. Mr. Nolan is expecting you" I grab the phone intercom and let Buford know that Remey is here to see him, after a quick order I hang up.

"Mr. Nolan will see you now"

He looks at me, then behind me at the glass office, winks at me and says "Thank you gorgeous".
