He accepted her hand and shook it firmly. "Oh, I know exactly who you are," he assured her, though he realized how that could sound menacing on the day of a performance review, so he added, "I'm familiar with everyone who reports to me, even if I don't interact with them every day." For most of the people he was reviewing today, he had only met with them a handful of times. They had made introductions when he took over here, and might have attended a few meetings together, but his responsibilities were too varied for him to be involved in their work more than that.<br/><br/>Alex took his seat once more, and gestured for her to take the seat opposite him. While it was true he had known her name and knew a bit about the work she had been doing, he had forgotten that Makayla Evans was the one he had found himself thinking about after their first meeting. He was normally quite good at controlling his imagination, but something about her had given him all sorts of ideas during that first meeting. He hadn't been able to stop himself from thinking about her, tied up and teased until she could take no more.<br/><br/>"I went through your file this morning," he said, forcing himself not to think about the memories and ideas she seemed to conjure. "But the purpose of this evaluation is to look at the things this file can't tell me. Why don't you start by telling me what you think your biggest weakness is?" He always liked to start by putting the pressure on the other person, in a way they might not be ready for. It helped reveal who he was truly dealing with.
