Bella had seen him many times before. She had met him again and again in the lift of her apartment building, usually while he was on the phone. He was always well-dressed and had his briefcase with him. He always seemed to set the tone in the conversations Bella overheard. That had always made her very curious. "Does he talk like that to everyone? He certainly wouldn't do that to me! I would always have an answer ready," she always thought to herself. But when Bella turned 18 and started her first internship, she quickly realised that she would get an answer to this question sooner than she would have thought.
