Paul retreats and Christian and Ana discuss doing a photo shoot for Kate’s article the next day. Paul, the son of the owner of Clayton’s, comes into the store and gives Ana a rather intense hug which immediately puts Christian off.

They exchange some friendly banter, yet Ana tries to remain professional despite being totally disarmed by Christian.

He says he is in town on business and needs a few things (cable ties, duct tape, rope, etc). Later in the week, Ana goes to her part-time job at a hardware store called Clayton’s and is surprised when Christian walks in. We meet Ana and Kate’s friend, Jose Rodriguez, who is a photographer and has a crush on Ana (though she is not interested in him in that way at all). The interview ends, and Christian sees Ana out to the elevators where they part ways.Īna feels embarrassed and foolish in the way she conducted the interview, and she is also rather smitten with Christian but ignores her feelings. He even turns the tables and starts asking Ana questions about herself, and we get a slight sense of a flirty attraction between the two. We learn a few things about Christian: He is a control freak, and he is adopted, and he is not gay (apparently many people think he is because he is never seen with women despite his good looks and status).

The interview is rather awkward with Ana being rather nervous and Christian being very intense and arrogant with his responses. Ana reluctantly heads to Seattle to conduct the interview and is caught off guard when she comes face-to-face with the handsome 27-year-old billionaire CEO. However, she comes down with the flu and gets Ana to go to Seattle to do the interview in her place. She is scheduled to interview the “enigmatic CEO of Grey Enterprises Holdings, Inc,” Christian Grey, who is a benefactor of the university and will hand out the diplomas at graduation. They are both on the cusp of graduating from WSU, where Kate is a journalist for the college paper. Anastasia (Ana) Steele is a 22-year-old college student living in Vancouver, Washington with her wealthy best friend/roommate, Katherine (Kate) Kavanagh.
