CHAPTER TEN

Brianna woke early Tuesday morning. It wouldn’t do to keep John waiting. She walked into the kitchen wearing a lime green, hot pink and turquoise splash print skirt and a turquoise shirt. He was dressed in a black suit, light gray shirt and black and gray paisley tie.

“You should do something about your wardrobe,” they said in unison.

“What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?” they said.

They stared at each other. “You could add a little variety,” Brianna said, “a little color. It would make you look friendlier, less stuffy.”

“Stuffy? I run a business not a disco club.”

“Okay.” Brianna shrugged her shoulders. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?”

“A little bright. I think I need sunglasses.” John gestured toward the door.

“I like bright. It makes me happy.” She grinned as she preceded him to the elevator.

“It’s such a gorgeous day. I wish you had a convertible.” Brianna said as she got into the car.

“They’re not safe.”

“Hmm. Don’t you ever want to feel the wind blowing through your hair, enjoy life?”

“Safety is good.” He made sure she fastened her seatbelt before leaving the curb. “I can ‘enjoy life’ and still be safe.”

“What do you do for fun?” Brianna asked.

“I used to love sailing,” he said. “I was interested in photography as a kid.”

“You do realize you’re using the past tense, don’t you?” Brianna said.

“I play golf occasionally.”

“Yes, I know, but that’s just one thing – occasionally.”

“I’ve been busy building a business and running a company for the last… few years.”

“How many years?” she prodded.

“A few.” It was her turn to raise an eyebrow. “All right, quite a few, but you don’t build a successful business overnight.”

“All work and no play makes Johnny a dull boy,” Brianna teased.

“You think I’m dull?” She shrugged her shoulders. “I am not dull!” John stopped for a red light a block from the office.

“I think you’ve got potential, you’ve just forgotten how to play.”

Brianna spent the morning finishing the drawings for the Wildlife project. She was taking them to Mrs. Davis for approval when she ran into John.

“Are those the Wildlife drawings?” he asked. Brianna nodded. “I’ll take them. I want to look them over.”

“They haven’t been approved yet.”

He gave her an amused look. “I believe I have the authority to approve them. As I said before, I’m very impressed with them.”

When she turned to walk back to her desk, several pairs of eyes followed her. Great!

“What was that about?” Carly asked as they were walking to the lounge for lunch.

“He just wanted the drawings I did for the wildlife account.”

“Yeah, he’s always coming down here to get drawings. Did you see the looks on Emily and Liv’s faces? They’re dying to know what’s going on,” Carly said.

“Yeah, I noticed, but that’s all he wanted. I doubt he had an ulterior motive. I can only image what they’ll make out of it. I’m starving. Let’s eat?” Brianna changed the subject.

At four-thirty Miss Davis stopped by her cubicle. “Mr. Sharp wants to see you, Miss Ryan.
