Two days later Max looked up from the report on his desk and smiled, "Julie, this is excellent work. I'm very impressed with what you've come up with. Some of these ideas are pure genius. Well done!"

"Thanks, Max. Like I said, I just need enough time and you'll never be disappointed with my work."

Max smiled and rolled up his shirt sleeves to reveal his muscular forearms. "Sorry, I lost it the other day. I'm used to working with idiots so I get stressed out at times. I can see now I don't have to worry when it comes to you. It's a huge weight off my shoulders. Thank you."

"It's nothing, forget about it. So, what do you want me to prioritize going forward?" Julie smiled back and tried not to stare at his well toned arms.

"Julie, I need you to get your bags packed. We'll be working out of the client's office in Brussels for the next 4 weeks. We leave tomorrow."

"What? You expect me to drop everything to go to Brussels just like that? No warning, nothing. I take it this is some kind of bad joke." Julie glared and tried to control her temper.

"Not at all, calm down will you, Julie. What difference does it make? Work here or work over there, it's all the same."

Julie gritted her teeth and knew this was one argument she wasn't going to win. "Ok then, you win, I'm not happy about this but I'll go along with it. In future I expect more notice, ok?"

"Sure, no problem, they sprung it on me this morning, I didn't see it coming either. I would normally never do this, seriously. I'm not as bad as you think I am. Look, I'm flying over there tonight for a meeting but we already have the booking confirmations for your flight and hotel room. I told them to get you a room at the back overlooking the gardens, I thought you'd like that. I'm at the front, I can't sleep if it's too quiet, the traffic noise helps put me to sleep." Max handed Julie the tickets and watched her wide eyed expression as she noticed the booking was for the best hotel in Brussels.

"Oh, thanks, that was kind of you. I'll see you tomorrow in Brussels in that case." Julie hurried back to her desk. She couldn't make her mind up about Max, she found him extremely annoying but at the same time there was a part of him that could be considerate and thoughtful when she least expected it, plus he really appreciated all her hard work. And she still wondered what he'd look like without a shirt.

To be honest she was missing nothing by leaving London for a few weeks. She had planned to meet her online friend but FastDriver hadn't replied to her in weeks. He had mentioned he would be on the road a lot but so what? He could still stay in touch. She missed their playful banter, he could be very funny and his messages always made her smile.
