CHAPTER 7

Cassie glanced at her smartphone as she finished her first appointment of the day. She had a note to pop in at Thomson Construction unannounced. It was a tactic she used to observe the everyday operations of any new contractors with whom she began working. It was a good way to become aware of how they handled unexpected situations and who took care of the nuts and bolts of the day to day workload. It was exactly what she had just pulled on Bruce Jenson and he had done fairly well answering her questions. She liked Bruce. His firm was much smaller than Thomson Construction, so the projects they usually took on were also a bit diminutive compared to an AeroMetz sized project. But based on how well he had done on their last couple of projects, she had determined that they would work together in the future.

Her overanalyzing mind caused her to pause. Stopping in at Thomson could look like she wanted to see...someone. After her conversation with his mother and that other woman, they might think she did have a personal interest in Trent.

“Or maybe,” she mocked her reflection in the mirror, “like you are doing your job!”

She wouldn’t treat Thomson Construction any differently than she did her other contractors. She needed this project to go well, because it was the type of deal that would allow her to quit taking on a lot of smaller projects and focus on just one or two large ones a year. If she brought this one home as the client wished, it would open all the right doors for her.

Stiffening her back she turned the car in the direction of the large complex that housed Thomson Construction. As she drove, she tried to work mental lists and figure out what else she needed to accomplish before the weekend. They had a baseball game tomorrow, and she had volunteered to supply snacks so she had to stop and pick those up on the way home. She planned to stop down at the attorney’s to file some estate paperwork that was required yearly for the children’s trusts. She wanted to also make one other call, on a potential future client, to drop off a portfolio package and references. She preferred to do those calls in person rather than by mail. Making direct contact left a better impression.

Successfully keeping her mind occupied on anything but the task ahead of her, she pulled into a visitor’s parking space, took a steadying breath of courage and walked to the front door. As she entered, she looked down, digging in her messenger bag to ensure she had the Thomson/AeroMetz file and plowed right into somebody. Big hands shot out to prevent her from falling.

“Oh dear! I am so...”

Her eyes travelled from the cowboy boots, up two long legs clad in jeans, past the white polo shirt and stopped when they met Trent’s amused expression. She felt the heat creep up her neck and suffuse her cheeks.

“Cassie.”
