CEO engaged

He started to laugh. “I think the place might very well combust if an animated film plays on the big screen,” he laughed. I smiled. “Walk over to that side and see

So I told myself to pull myself together and stop thinking about men - one more than the other - and get back to work. I had selected at least forty applications, twelve of which received preferential treatment since they were already working for GQ and I thought it would be best to hire from within before the two men waltzed through the door.
