Her name was Emily.
She was friendly, intelligent, and surprisingly humble.
That immediately made the situation more complicated.
I didn’t dislike her.
In fact, I liked her.
During lunch, she admitted that she was nervous.
“This is a big opportunity for me,” she said.
“I hope I can learn everything quickly.”
“You will,” I told her.
She smiled.
“My offer was really generous, too. I honestly wasn’t expecting it.”
I paused.
“How generous?”
She looked embarrassed.
“I probably shouldn’t say.”
