hope I do,” Ari replied
earnestly.
    A tall, dark-haired man with thin lips
and an aquiline nose passed them, and gave them a thin
smile.
    “Where do I know that man from?” she
asked, pointing to him as he walked away.
    “That’s Damien Xavier. You’ve probably
seen him in the papers; he’s a fairly prominent Senator. My advice
would be to stay away from him. From what I’ve heard, he sucks his
staff dry. Absolute tyrant to work with. Ross is like an angel
compared to him,” Beth replied.
    She smiled and continued on her way to
the meeting room. As Ari followed her in, she was surprised by the
size of the room. It was a lot smaller than she had imagined.
Across the other side, she could see some interns already being
introduced to the President, and she felt as if she might faint. In
person, he was even more handsome.
    “Ross, would you like to introduce your
new interns?” Beth asked as she sidled up to the Chief of
Staff.
    Seconds later, Ari was face-to-face
with the President himself.
    “Nice to meet you, Ari,” he said, once
Ross had introduced her. “I was an intern in the office of the
Chief of Staff myself, many years ago.”
    His voice was deep and masculine, and
Ari felt her cheeks turning pink.
    “Oh,” she said.
    That was all she could muster up the
courage to say, and he regarded her with a twinkle of amusement in
his eyes.
    “I don’t think that’s an appropriate
lipstick that you’re wearing,” Ross hissed from beside her,
thinking that no one else could hear.
    Ari loved lipstick, and had chosen to
wear a red-orange color today. It wasn’t particularly bright or
distracting, so she had assumed that it would be okay.
    “Oh, leave the girl alone,” Remy said,
clapping a hand over Ross’ shoulder. “I like it. Looks very retro,
like a pin-up girl from the fifties.”
    “With all due respect, sir, this isn’t
really the place for pin-up girls,” Ross replied.
    Ari flushed bright red and
wanted to disappear into thin air, and Remy looked at her for a
moment longer before excusing himself and turning away. Despite the
embarrassment, she couldn’t believe that she had actually met
him. Marco will be so
jealous .
    Marco was a friend from college that
she shared her apartment with, and he was already slightly envious
of the fact that she had managed to score the internship. He had
applied, but not been chosen. Still, he was a great friend, and
very supportive of her.
    Several hours later, Ari was
finally heading home. Exhausted from such a long day, she collapsed
into bed almost straight away, wondering if she could really cope
with another ten weeks of this . If I get to
see that sexy President every so often, I think I’ll
manage , she thought, her head full of
thoughts of Remy as she drifted off to sleep.
    ***
    After two weeks, Ari was finally
starting to get used to the internship. She seemed to be Beth’s
favorite, and she was always sent off on tasks that Beth apparently
didn’t trust the other interns with. Right now it was Tuesday
afternoon, and Ari had just returned from a field trip with the
others.
    “Oh, Ari, I need you to go and deliver
these to the President,” Beth said, waving a sheaf of papers at
her.
    “The… the President?”
    “Are you ever going to stop behaving
like a crazy fan-girl whenever anyone mentions him? Yes, the
President. These are very important documents that I’m trusting you
with. I would do it myself but I’m very busy at the
moment.”
    “Shouldn’t I just leave them with his
assistant or secretary?”
    “Normally, yes, but he isn’t near his
office at the moment.”
    Beth gave her directions, and Ari took
the papers and scurried away. On her way to the office where the
President apparently was, she passed Damien Xavier. His thin lips
curled up in a smile when he saw her, but the smile didn’t reach
his cold green eyes. Ari shuddered and turned a corner. When she
arrived at the right door, she came across the President’s two
Secret
