Chapter 10

I wafted the fresh coffee under his nose, hoping that the aroma would wake him up. When that failed, I poked him. "Come on sleeping beauty, time to wake up." He opened one eye, and turned his head to look at the clock.

"It's half five. Why're you getting me up so early?"

"I need to be at the gym by six." I was already wearing my gym kit, and had my bag ready with my work clothes and heels. I sipped my coffee as he struggled up onto his elbows, his face all creased from the pillow, and his messy, dark, curls resembling a birds nest. He took a long slurp of coffee, before swinging his legs out of bed, and padding over to my bathroom. A few minutes later he came out. "Can I borrow your toothbrush?" I nodded, hoping he wouldn't take too long. "Don't worry, I'll just brush my teeth, and I'll be out of your way," he called out as he went back into the bathroom. I made the bed, and gathered up my keys, handbag, and the bag full of clothes to take to work, and waited.

"I can get them brought up to your office, save you lugging them," he said, seeing me laden down like a pack pony.

"Would you? That would be great," I replied, handing him the bag. We went down in the lift, to find Nico waiting outside.

I had a relatively quiet day, the most exciting part being an extended lunch to pay a visit to a beauty salon to get my waxing and mani/pedi done for both Saturday night, and my holiday. I gave the Brazilian wax another go, and was relieved to find it wasn't so painful second time around. After work, I headed over to Guiseppe's salon for a trim and blowdry.

I'd just walked out, feeling fabulous, when I bumped into Paul. "Hello again. How's everything?" he asked, smiling widely.

"Good thanks. How's the search going for our new execs?"

"Identified a few already, and made contact. It hopefully won't take too long. You look like you just had your hair done."

"Yep. Do you like it? I'm going to an awards do on Saturday, so I wanted it freshly cut in case I wear it down."

"I'm sure you'll be the belle of the ball."

"I doubt it. I'm going with a friend, and she's the archetypal long legged blonde with impeccable breeding. I scrub up quite well, but I'm not in her league." I knew Lucy would look amazing, plus she was hoping to meet a nice barrister or corporate, so would no doubt make an effort.

"I don't think you need to worry. By the way, how are things with you and Ivan now? The other morning you both seemed terribly awkward with each other."

"Yeah, we're ok now thanks. I decided to stay at Pearson Hardwick, so sorry to have wasted your time, if you looked for a move for me."

"Not a problem. Just let me know when I need to look, although my guess is, that when the time comes, they'll be looking for you, not the other way round.
