noticed you the second you walked into the office. I don’t take the
time to notice every new employee of the firm, but you stood out. I’ve
always had a thing for girls like you. You’re cute, you’re funny, you’re
animated.
When you talk about things that excite you, you light up the entire
room.Thatfirstday,threeweeksago,youwereallworkedupaboutdelays
onthesubway.
“Icouldhavewalkedherefaster,”yousaid,apologizingtomysecretary
for being late. “It was like being trapped in an elevator. It took twenty

I was sitting at my desk and the door was slightly open. I got up and
walkedovertothetwoofyou.
“You’rethenewclientrelationsmanager?”Isaid.
You looked up at me. Both you and the secretary stopped laughing. I

You work in client services. That means you spend the day on the
phone with my most important clients. You put their mind at ease, you
makesurethey’rehappy,youtellthemwhatwe’redoingforthemandhow
it’s going to make them rich. And they eat it up. You’re a natural at your
job. You have a way of putting powerful men at ease and getting them to
feelexactlywhatyouwantthemtofeel.It’slikeyouwerebornforthejob.
Andit’snotaneasyjob.Thesemenaredemanding.They’reassholes.
They’re used to getting everything they want, exactly when they want it,
andneversayingpleaseorthankyou.
That’s what’s so effective about you. You never give them what they
want.Whentheysaytheywantmorelawyersontheirfile,somethingthat
costs me money, you tell them they can’t have it. And usually that would
lose us the client, but when you say it to them, they just accept it. When
they say they want to speak directly to me, and waste half my afternoon
talking about golf or stock tips in the process, you tell them I’m far too
busyforthem.
You’resexy.You’reinnocent.
Oratleast,youcomeacrossthatway.Butthere’smoretoyouthanthat.
Behind all that sweetness, all that pretty hair and cute outfits and red
lipstick, there’s a power. You’re sure of yourself. You know what you’re
doing.Andyoudon’tcompromise,youdon’tbackdown.It’swhatmakes

Andirresistibletome.
After three weeks of watching you work, I can honestly say I’m
obsessedwithyou.Ithinkaboutyouallthetime.WhenI’matthegymat
five in the morning, pumping iron, I’m thinking about you. When I’m
closing a deal with a rival legal team, billions of dollars at stake, I’m
thinkingofyou.WhenI’mfuckingsomebroadIjustpickedupatthePlaza

Andthat’swhyItookthingstothenextlevel.

I had my chauffeur bring my limo round to the front of the office at

IhadmydriverfollowyouhomethatnightandIsawforthefirsttime
where you lived. It was a sketchy neighborhood and I worried about your
safety. I called my private security firm and had them watch over you.
Nothingyou’devernotice,butitwouldensureyoursafety.
I also learned that you volunteered at a local public school, teaching
leadership skills to inner city kids, and I made sure the program you
worked for received extra funding. And every day, I made sure my driver
wasreadytofollowyoutowhereveryouwentforlunch.
Sometimes you’d go out for a meeting at a restaurant and I’d follow
and get a table near yours. Sometimes you sat at your desk and ate a
sandwich from a brown paper bag. On those days I sat at my desk too. I
could see you from my office and I would sit there and pretend to be
