Chapter 8

The following Monday after her Washington, D.C., trip, Megan was back at work and glad to be doing something to keep her mind off of her fantasy life. She needed to concentrate on her own normal life for a change. She had a million things to do before she headed to Hilton Head that summer to work on the project for the Fabulous Living Channel. She also needed to get her mind off of Steven.

She sipped on a cup of coffee Lucy had made for her. It was storming that morning and no one wanted to make a Starbucks run in the rain.

It had to be the dancing, Megan thought to herself as she took another sip. It had been a while since she’d had that much fun with a man, but Steven was just the wrong man at the right time. While she enjoyed the kiss—among other things—they shared in the car, she didn’t want to get her emotions involved, only to be disappointed later. She was glad she was able to leave that Sunday morning to fly back home. Steven had arranged for her to fly first-class back to Atlanta.

Megan continued sipping on her coffee as it surprisingly calmed her nerves. She asked Lucy to refill her cup before her meeting. Chelsea was stopping by to finalize plans for her daughter’s bedroom, but Megan knew she really wanted the play-by-play of her Washington weekend.

Chelsea arrived promptly at ten for their meeting. She sashayed into Megan’s office wearing a pink Chanel suit. Her diamond earrings and matching tennis bracelet seemed as if they would be too much for someone to wear at ten in the morning. However, it was normal for her. Chelsea believed in being ready for any type of occasion at a moment’s notice. The sleeveless dress under her suit jacket could easily be a cocktail dress. Her wristlet that she always kept in her bigger purse could easily double for an evening bag.

Chelsea sat in one of the leather wingback chairs in front of Megan’s glass desk and shook her head in disapproval at Megan. “What is up with that white peasant-type blouse? That should be in the bag going to the Salvation Army. I’m sure some young college girl could make use of it.” Chelsea rested her Prada bag on Megan’s desk.

“Good morning to you, too, sunshine. Can I get you some coffee?” Megan asked with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

“No. Hot water, please. I have herbal tea bags in my purse,” Chelsea stated, taking one of them out and setting it on the desk.

Megan buzzed Lucy to bring a cup of hot water for Chelsea and more coffee for her. If the next hour is going to be like this, I may need more than just coffee.

“I love everything you did to Madison’s room. I had Julie put the comforter set on this weekend, and it’s simply charming. She’s going to adore it when she comes home from Vanderbilt this summer.
