A Close Encounter

I was walking into work today and another fellow was searching through his bag looking for his security badge to swipe in. It was one of those awkward moments. Do I let him in? Part of me wants to be the typical friendly Canadian. The other part wonders if he is someone who doesn't actually belong in the building. He straightens up and looks at me. I look at him. At that point I realize it is the President of the company, so I say (as gracefully as I can), "Well, I guess I can trust you." I swiped him in and we chatted for a few minutes. It was an interesting encounter.
