Attempted

The next day, I head back to the office, where I approach Sandy. "Morgan, Eric from security says he needs to meet you ASAP."

My heart sinks, knowing exactly what's happened. As I do my best to keep my composure, I say "When am I free?"

"Right now actually. In fact, you have about an hour."

"No problem. Tell him he can come to my office now."

"Of course."

Once I'm in my office, I make sure to get my phone out and start recording. We hadn't hired Eric for his legal expertise, and if he attempts to **** me, he's going to have hell to pay. Then again, it may be possible to make a compromise. Soon enough, Eric charges into my office, full of cockiness. He is admittedly attractive for a guy in his mid-forties, with the build of a bear and his confident demeanor.

"Morgan."

"Yes?"

"We need to talk?"

"Then let's talk."

"There was footage of you and a certain employee in the elevator yesterday. Now, I understand it was a strenuous situation and maybe certain things happened that were a bit inappropriate. I've taken the liberty of deleting the footage, but I will also have to explain said missing footage."

"Simple, it was an elevator malfunction."

"I'm not sure you're quite understanding what I'm getting at."

"I understand what **** is Mr. Ross."

Suddenly, his confidence seems to waver. "We-well... I think I may at least deserve some compensation..."

"I appreciate that." I show him my phone, to which his eyes go wide. I pause the recording. "I'm going to cut you some slack, because I admittedly find you attractive. I am willing to organize something over the weekend. You will delete any footage you have of me, and I'll pretend this never happened."

"Yes, Miss Karsada."

"Good. You may leave."

"Th-thank you."

He leaves, allowing me to release a giant grin. Poor guy never knew what hit him.
