At one time, Hunter would’ve detested the idea of having a PA. A progressive, class warfare activist in college, he’d spent years railing against everything the ‘white collar elites’ stood for, including the trappings of the power like a personal assistant at their beck and call. However, several years hence, with Hunter firmly ensconced as a hard-hitting investigative journalist, a PA proved to be a godsend for him. It was in no small part due to how good Selene was at her job. 

So, as she entered his office, Hunter straightened a little in his chair. He met her gaze and mentally steeled himself for what he had to say. He didn’t like the idea of admonishing her when she was so good at her job, nor for what was an obvious mistake. The mistake in question sat on Hunter’s desk - a box of soft pink with a ribbon around it. Lingerie, expensive and classy. Hunter had looked earlier, out of curiosity, and he couldn’t deny how he liked it, both objectively and with the thought of Selene in it. Still, he had to restrain such thoughts for the conversation to be had. 

“Thanks for stepping in, I know you’re very busy right now,” Hunter began, eyes assuredly on her. “This got delivered to me earlier. It has my name on it, and I can only assume it’s for you, but the labels got mixed or something.” He could’ve left his explanation there, but on instinct, Hunter added “Either that or I’ve suddenly developed a taste for wearing the kind of underwear I normally like on a woman.” A smirk followed the words, an attempt to lighten the mood.
