How they met

[blindingtrust]

This wasn't going to be like a cheesy movie. It was just the sort of thing that happened one day. Carol was moving out west because she got a new job and her father needed her. Ivy would miss the older woman who didn't bat an eye at anything that happened in the Gotham City District Attorney's office.

Of course Ivy was just the Assistant District Attorney. It was a big deal for her but a highly stressful job. She had tried to let Carol talk her into switching to tea but every murder case that she had to cope with that should have chilled her blood had her going straight for the coffee like a life line.

Today she was going to be meeting her newest secretary. This was going to be an adventure at least. She smoothed her suit jacket out slightly as she stepped off the elevator and the heels of her shoes made a delightfully soft clicking sound as she made her way down to her office and went in to start getting ready for the work day.

Whoever they were sending her way should be here soon enough. She faintly recalled that this man used to work with the Austin police department. She hoped they didn't have a heavy Texan accent. That would be a pity.

"I have a binder that has the menus for all of my favorite places to get food from. They have directions and there should be a map. My last secretary needed it to figure out the best places for coffee. I take my coffee black. I don't smoke and I would request that you don't smoke near my office, my nose and eyes are sensitive to the smoke."

She hates the smell of cigars too. Not that she expects him to be smoking them. "I go in a reserve alphabetical order. It doesn't make sense to most but I do it for ease of access to some of the more colorful cases."

"Not to worry, then. I'll make sure it's all set up then. And I don't smoke, but my first boss smoked like a chimney, so I always ask."

"Good. I don't like the smell of people smoking," she said in a level voice. Then considered everything.

"It's good to have you on board. I hope we'll work well together, sadly I can't do this all on my own. I'll need you to stay sharp since I ah, tend to get caught up in my work before anything else. Sometimes you may need to remind me to eat. My doctor gets very annoyed when I forget to take care of my nutritional needs."
