Mitchell sat at his mahogany desk his eyes flitting from the paper strewn across his desk up to the monitor, his mind working through the information rapidly. His office was tastefully decorated, his diplomas on one wall and a photo facing out of his parents and sister were the only 'personal' touches.
At forty, he was one of the youngest men to become CEO of a major regional bank, and the youngest in this bank's history, and also the first that was not a blood relation to the ownership group. He had held the job for a month now, and the changes were beginning, ever so slowly. The key to making changes in a conservative work atmosphere was to do it slowly, despite what Nikolai Machiavelli said in his famous book of 'do all evil at once.'
His eyes floated up as movement occurred across the spacious office. His assistant, a matronly figure named Margaret Oxenford, stopped directly before his desk, "Excuse me, Mr. Hembree."
He looked up at her, then locked the screen on his computer, giving her his full attention. Interruptions from her were rare, and when they occurred they were always important. "What may I do for you Mrs. Oxenford?"
"Sir, I regretfully must inform you that I have to tender my resignation, effective two weeks from today."
He posture belied the 'regretfully' and Mitchell leaned back while he considered it. During the silence she said, "I have also emailed a copy of my notice to you and to Human Resources."
Nodding Mitchell replied, "Thank you. We will do what we can to have someone in place for you to help transition them as soon as possible."
As she turned and left, Mitchell put that issue aside and returned to what he was working on before. After finishing perusing the report and related data, he fired off a series of emails with what needed to be done.
As the lunch hour approached, he walked through one of the floors of the bank, as was his tradition. He wanted each of the employees to know who he was, and that he was an approachable leader. He was walking through Risk when he said hello to the admin assistant for the area. As she looked up at his greeting she blushed prettily. Mitchell kept going, but he kept an eye on her.
She had dark hair, black or a very dark brown. She had dark brown eyes and a vaguely oriental aspect to her eyes, much like if she were a second generation Anglo/Japanese mix. She was nothing short of gorgeous, and from what he could see over and then around the reception desk, she was fit. "An excellent combination," he muttered to himself.
