Chapter Eight

The next morning, Sophie marched into Dennis’s office, dropped a bound folder on his desk and pounded it with her forefinger, while her boss watched on with mild amusement.

“Is something wrong?” he asked.

Folding her arms against her breasts, Sophie stared at him. “Wrong? Have you read this thing?”

“Not yet. All I know is that Ben decided the company needed to save money by changing insurance carriers.” He pointed to the folder. “And this is what we have now.”

“This is a crock of you-know-what. It’s outrageous. As soon as the employees see all the medical procedures being dropped from their coverage, they’re going to riot. Ben must have been out of his mind when he decided to go with this provider.”

“Health insurance is in turmoil these days and I think there was a lot of lobbying going on by this company to get Robinson Tech’s business,” Dennis told her. “And your brother was in a cut-and-save mood.”

Sophie snorted. “You know, when a flood of employees show up here to protest, I’m going to send them straight upstairs to Ben’s office. He’ll be in a different mood then.”

Dennis shook his head. “Give your brother a break. He’s just become a new father. He has a lot on his mind.”

Sophie’s expression suddenly softened. “Yes, little Lacey is adorable. I’ve never seen my big brother so enamored with anyone or anything. He behaves as though he’s the first man to ever have a daughter.”

“It is a special event when a child comes into your life. You’ll learn when it happens to you, Sophie.”

Becoming a mother was never going to happen to her unless she connected with the right man. And right now she was trying to decide how she could extricate herself from this mess she’d made with Thom. Perhaps she should just write FOOL across her forehead in big letters, take her lumps, and get it over with. But Valentine’s Day was less than a week away and she’d gotten a text from Thom this morning hinting that he was already making big plans for the evening.

More wrestling or monster action movies? The mere thought of it made her sick.

“Okay, Dennis, I’ll send notices out to all our employees about the change in insurance. Just get ready to hear plenty of howling.”

She picked up the folder and left her boss’s office. As she walked back to her desk, she spotted Mason. This morning he was wearing black slacks and a plum colored dress shirt that emphasized the faint bronze mix in his brown hair. As she watched him move toward her, she was amazed that it had taken her so long to really see what an attractive man he was. If she’d not been so busy developing such a thoughtless crush on Thom, she might have taken more notice of Mason. And never gotten herself into the embarrassing situation she was in now.

She walked over to meet him. “Good morning, Mason,” she greeted with a wide smile. “I hope you’re not here in my department to complain.
