He stood confidently while letting me inspect. "Well?"

With his sharp features, the black suit made him look even colder and unapproachable. The navy tie added an air of mysteriousness and intensity. I gave him a thumbs-up. "It looks great on you!"

I agreed, "Sure."

He was almost at the door when he stopped. He turned back and looked at me. "Eric will drop by later to introduce you to your new editor."

After he left, I went to my desk and dove back into my sketches.
