She came up with a big smile on her face. What she said almost made me shit my pants.<\/p>\n
If you had to pick one person in this company to be a serial killer, who would it be?<\/p>\n
I’d been in the middle of a work-related conversation with two other people when she came out of nowhere, and now they were looking at me with these smiles, and I’m wondering–do they know? <\/p>\n
Like if this were a movie, she said. Who in this office would you peg to be a serial killer?<\/p>\n
Was it a question or a thinly-veiled accusation? <\/p>\n
I told her I would pick her because who the fuck asks a question like that, but I’m mostly wondering if the rumors about her are true. Can she see things?<\/p>\n
Later when we were all heading out to lunch, I asked if we were carpooling to the restaurant, and she said, “Why, you got a body in the trunk?”<\/p>\n
She said it with a flirtatious smirk. Again, that sudden, numbing feeling in my stomach. Is she fucking with me? <\/p>\n
I watched her all through lunch, with a table of twelve between us, seeing her in a completely different light. There was something about her. She’d somehow made me feel like she’d seen me naked. And she wasn’t scared. I wasn’t used to women looking me in the eyes like that, so boldly with no fear. I liked it. It pissed me off. She struck fear in me. I’d never felt so fascinated. I couldn’t eat. Why had I never noticed it in her before. I vowed to keep an eye on her. Find out what it was about her that made me feel this way, a man always in control, to feel exposed inside his own skin. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
