*Flashback*
Things had a way of just working out. Brooke became Ethan's personal assistant, or secretary, whichever one Ethan deemed fit to make her for the day.
At first, she felt uncomfortable with having her office in his, so he created a desk outside of his office, just for her. He also gave her a private pass to use his reserved elevator, so she wouldn't have to see the others at the company.
"You only need to see me, don't you?" He told her, when Brooke informed him that the interns were going out for drinks.
Brooke nodded, her eyes trained on his hand which rested on her waist. Lately, the CEO had been helping her get accustomed to the job, but at the same time he had been getting close to her while he did that.
'This is normal, it's perfectly normal.' she would tell herself whenever Ethan stood behind her to instruct her on what to do. He would have a hand pointing at the screen and the other rested on her waist.
