There was a knock on Marcheline’s office door just minutes after Jim left. She assumed it was him. Maybe he had forgotten something. “Come in,” she called from a seated position at her desk. She felt warmed by their lovemaking and wouldn’t have minded seeing Jim for a few more minutes. She’d tell him how she had to hurry and get back to work, but secretly, she would enjoy an excuse to spend more time with him.

“It’s me, Ma’am,” Rande called back.

“Oh,'' she said. “Only you, huh?”

“Oh, only me,” Rande teased. “Happy to see you, too.”

“Get in here,” Marcheline replied as Rande stepped through the door.

“Did you enjoy your… Um, what should we call it? Meeting… With young Mr. Bennett?” he asked. “That boy looked all hot and bothered when he left here. What is he, twenty now? Soon you’ll be able to drink together.”

“Is that all you came here to say, old man?” Marcheline asked her friend with a laugh. “Because I really need to get back to work. This place won’t run itself.”

“Yep. Pretty much,” Rande replied as they both chuckled. “But you have a phone call. The guy has been holding for quite some time. Stacy referred it back to me since she knew you were… Shall we say, otherwise occupied.”

“Couldn’t she have taken a message?” Marcheline asked. “Isn’t that why we have a receptionist, anyway?”

“She could have, but I see where she’s coming from. This sounded important. It’s a guy named Bill Henderson, calling from Chicago.”

“Chicago?” Marcheline’s breathing suddenly became shallow as she tried not to panic. There were any number of reasons that a man from Chicago could have been calling related to the business. But that didn’t stop her from fearing the worst.

“Did he say what he wants? To place an order? Or arrange for event space?”

“No. I got on the line and told him he might hold a while, but he said he wanted to wait. I asked him what this was in regard to.”

“And?”

“He wouldn’t tell me a thing,” Rande explained. “He insisted on speaking only to you.”
