As soon as Shane arrived downstairs, he noticed the lovely young woman sitting across from his secretary. She appeared calm and collected, casually adjusting her dark, long hair with a black tie.
Shane was struck by her beauty but quickly tried to hide his reaction. He turned to his secretary, avoiding eye contact with the woman, and asked, "Who's here to see me?"
The secretary gestured towards the woman and said, "Here she is, sir."
The young woman immediately stood up and greeted him with a polite smile. "Good morning, sir. My name is Julie Andres."
Shane nodded, trying to appear unaffected. "Ah, Miss Julie Andres. You're the new recruit in Human Resources, right?"
"Yes, sir," she replied warmly, her posture straight and professional.
Shane glanced at her briefly, still trying to control his feelings. "Okay, Miss Julie. Let's head to my office for a quick interview," he said, turning away quickly and heading to his office.
