One minute Emily was trying to process that Mr Redwood and Daliah were a couple and the next she was getting laughed at by Daliah once more. After a brief silence Emily had gathered enough courage to ask her about what she had seen. As it turned out Blake and Daliah had known each other for almost ten years, she was six years older than he, happily married and had two children none of it was with Blake.

Once that was cleared up things went smoothly, the two women got along so well anyone would have thought they were former acquaintances. Dalia quickly explaining to Emily that she had hired her as her temporary assistant  but once she got Sam back Emily would either be working for Blake or running a small department.

After a nice weekend off Emily was excited to start her Monday in less of a rush. The first day of the week was similar to Friday, Emily scheduled, planned and occasionally fetched Daliah coffee. Mr Redwood was nowhere in sight, but as she had been told Daliah ran most of the operations while he handled the partners and investments. His charm, according to her boss, only worked when face to face.

Emily's alarm went off at five to noon, her reminder to pick up the new recruits and bring them to Mr Redwood flashed on her screen.

"Miss St- Daliah, I am going to go meet the new interns down at the lobby. Do you need anything else ma'am?" She asked poking her head into her boss's office. Daliah who was on the phone shook her head and waved her out before returning to the call.

Downstairs  a group of four young men stood waiting in the lobby. She gave them a smile as the receptionist handed her a folder with their information and slipped a piece of paper to one of the guys she had been talking too. Emily pretended not to notice and held back grin.

"Hey, you guys must be the new interns, right?" She asked turning to face the 4 men before her.

"Yeah, I'm Enrique Jiménez." A tall Hispanic boy greeted as he shook her hand.

"I'm Eian James." Eian like Enrique was tall, but his dark skin and green  eyes made Emily slightly weak in the knees.

"Elijah Jung." Emily took him in he was the shortest of the group, but his strong jawline and slight Asian features made him a sight to behold.

"I'm Evan Johnson, who might you be beautiful lady?" Evan was definitely a flirt. Blond hair, blue eyes and a well defined physique that was clearly visible under his fitted shirt made Emily forget about Eian.

"I'm Emily, Miss Stone's personal assistant. I am here to bring you to Mr Redwood, from there he will be giving you your assignments."  Emily stated, it was hard to concentrate with four very attractive men standing by her, but she managed to not stutter and sound professional. She couldn't wait to tell Claire about her new coworkers.

"Lead the way, pretty lady." Evan teased making her blush, the other three noticed but said nothing as they followed to the elevator.

"Hey I just realized we all have the same initials!" Elijah exclaimed as the elevator closed. The group turned to look at him, clearly confused by his outburst.

"Elijah J, Eian J, Enrique J, Evan J." He replied pointing to each person as he spoke.

"And Emily J." Emily added raising her hand to point at herself.

"We're EJ to the fifth power." Eian announced. They all turned to look at him a serious look on their face.

"Dude, way to kill the mood. We are the  EJ  crew." Enrique corrected before anyone else could object to their new group name the elevator doors opened. The boys stood in awe as Emily stepped out after them. The view from the twelfth floor was amazing, the place was decorated much like the lobby only the furniture was a gray instead of black adding more light to the floor.

"Ok guys, you can drool later. Mr Redwood is a very impatient man and does not have time to wait for us." Emily stated as she herded the men down the hall. She couldn't blame them though the place was amazing.
Sam was already sitting outside the office, happily typing away when they approached.

"Hey, Em. This them?"

She nodded and he buzzed them in wishing them all good luck on their first day. Emily was feeling nervous as well, this would be the first time since she ran away from him on Friday that she would be facing the man that signed her paycheck.

" Gentlemen, welcome, here have a seat." Blake greeted as they entered, a large smile plastered on his face made him look even more attractive. They made their way to a table when he interrupted.

"Miss Jones, you may leave I will have Sam call you when we are done." He dismissed. With a smile she turned to the door the disappointment in her eyes visible to all the men, yet none of them mentioned anything. There is no need to be sad, you already have a job. She told herself as she pushed the cafeteria button on the elevator. She had time to kill, and it was lunch time she might as well make the best of it.
