Krista nearly jumped out of seat when she heard the announcement. Though, it had been directed toward her, Krista hated the loud noise.
She pushed some of her long brown hair back, jumping had made it fall out of place. Her heart was racing when Krista put her hand on the mouse and pressed 'sleep mode' on her computer. She then stood up and proceeded to walk down to the observation deck.
Well, more like speed walking, when the commander asked for something you were there on the double, or not at all. Krista didn't like that, but pushed her glasses up and took a deep calmly breath.
It's just the captain.
Clip clop, clip clop, her heels sounded as she walked down the hall, listening to the sound was actually driving her mad but...
THE captain, the one she had...admired for a full that she had been working there. She didn't dare say she loved him. She barely knew the man.
That's not true. She knew many things about him, about his incident that forced him to have prostetic legs and arms. That he was a very determined and concentraited man, and also, like most powerful men. He had a soft side, not that she had seen most of it. Though she knew he had one. Or he wouldn't be so angry over the loss of officers like Jenkins.
Krista finally made it to the door of the observation deck. She smoothed her tan skirt that barely went down to her knees, and straightened her white shirt and suit-like jacket. She swiped her pass key into the electronic lock, when it opened, she walked through the door and saluted,
"Secretary Smith, reporting for duty Captain." Just seeing him made Krista blush, but she managed to keep a straight face while looking him in the eyes. She was good at looking proffesional at least.
