"You have your meeting with Warner Bros. tomorrow at four," she reminded him.

"Yes, after the meeting. We leave at eight. It will be a night flight." He smiled a little just because the last two words rhymed.

"Right, sir." Her fingers flew across the keyboard, adding the times to her reminder schedule. She hit ENTER to log it and read what she'd typed. She looked back at him. "Anything else, sir?" Her pen cap was still adorably tucked behind her ear.

Isaac noticed the pen tucked behind her ear and made an effort not to smile. "Hmm… breakfast with Mike Pence and that's it for tomorrow!"

She looked back at the computer and typed quickly. She read what was on the screen quickly. "Yes. And of course the meeting."

"Yep!", he said cheerfully. "How's your work going?"

"Uh… Good. It's good," she replied, gesturing to her messy desktop. She noticed her pen sitting beside her keyboard and picked it up. "Crap, where did I put the cap…?" She began to search the desktop.

"Tucked behind your ear!", Isaac laughed.

Robin blinked, confused for a second. Then she brushed her hair behind her ear and knocked the pen cap to the floor. Her eyes widened and she bent over to retrieve it.

Isaac laughed some more. "You're funny!", he said.

Robin sat up, her pen cap clutched in her fingers. She was blushing. "R-Really?" she stammered.

"Of course! You're funny and smart and dedicated! A great assistant!", he exclaimed.

She blushed harder, unused to such compliments. "Thank you, Mr. Whittaker," she replied shyly.

"Of course. Just giving positive feedback when needed." He shrugged it off. Was she blushing?

Robin let out a short breath and put the cap back on her pen. She read a new email and a brief look flickered across her face. "I forgot about that…" she muttered and clicked around before typing again.

"What is it?", he asks. He stands up and comes over to look at it.

She blinked, then showed him a huge spreadsheet. "It's kind of hard to explain…"

"Huh.", he said thinking. It was impressive.

"Yeah…" She clicked on some of the cells and typed in different numbers. Whole sequences added up and she work with those then.

"Are those dates and times?", he asked her.

"Some of them," she replied absently. She transferred part of the chart to a Word document and began to type more below it.

"Wow! You're quite the app smasher!", he said, interested.

She blushed lightly. "It's really nothing… Once you understand it, it's easy."

"Could you teach me? That would be very helpful.", Isaac asked her.

She looked incredibly surprised at his request. "Really?– sir?"
