CHAPTER FOURTEEN

The next week of work had me busting it. I worked on that proposal for the Greenville Hospital System and I finally presented it to my boss on Friday. He was totally impressed. He loved the way I was able to integrate the reasons for switching to MedSoft, not just for the physician’s offices, but for the main hospital and all the other affiliated hospitals as well. He told me he wanted me to accompany him to Greenville the week after next to help pitch to deal to the hospital administration.

I was super psyched when I got home from work. I was still staying at Pearce’s because there was an issue with getting the security gate installed at my carriage house. Pearce begged me to move in with him and though it was tempting, I said no.

I walked in with my arms full and he was already home. He helped me unload, as I had made a quick stop at the grocery store on the way home.

As soon as everything was put away, I told him the news about my proposal.

“Well, this calls for a celebration! Where would you like to go?”

“You pick.” I was never comfortable choosing a restaurant.

“Do you have anything going on this weekend?” he asked.

“We’re supposed to start that concealed weapons class.”

“I’ll get that changed. Go pack a weekend bag. You won’t need much. Bring one dress and the rest casual.”

He walked out of the room with a big grin on his face that left me wondering what he was up to.

Thirty minutes later we were in his car, headed up the interstate, but he wouldn’t give a clue as to where. When we took the airport exit, I began to get suspicious.

“Are we flying somewhere?”

He just looked at me and gave me one of his sexy smiles.

Then he threw me off because he didn’t pull into the main airport entrance, but kept driving. When he finally turned off Airport Road, I had no idea where he was. I knew we were at the airport, but we were on the backside of it. Then we went through a big gate and he showed his ID. They asked for mine and I took out my driver’s license. After a couple of minutes, we were allowed to proceed. He drove around until we came to one of those huge hangars. There was a small jet sitting out in front of it. A man ran out to meet us and Pearce got out of the car and came around to help me out.

“Dr. Middleton, it’s good to see you sir.”

“Hi Jerry. Thanks for coming on such short notice. This is Alexia.”

“Hello Ma’am.”

I shook his hand and Pearce guided me toward the jet.

“Are you serious? Is this your plane?”

“No, it’s the Middleton Enterprise G5.”

“What’s a G5?”

“A Gulfstream 5. It’s a jet Alexia.”

“I know that Pearce.”

“It’s just the type of jet sweetheart.”

“Oh.” I just realized that I said that a lot when I was with him. I needed to find a new word for ‘Oh.
