Chapter Four

Two weeks zoomed along so quickly, Juliana could not credit their passing. Sarabeth was gone, off to new adventures with her James. What would John say if he knew his old assistant’s “family emergency” the day she’d arrived from New York had been a booty call in the building across the way with her fiancé? What passion they had. It was hard not to be envious, but they were too nice not to love.

They were such a loving couple, always holding hands and standing close together. They’d had her over to dinner once, and she and Sarabeth had met James for a late lunch another day. Even though they clearly adored one another, they somehow didn’t make her feel like a third wheel. And living in a hotel—having worked such long hours she hadn’t had a chance to find an apartment yet—she felt so isolated, their friendship was a bright spot in her life.

Another new, and surprising, friend was John’s mother. Sarabeth had towed Juliana along to coffee with them one day, and Mrs. Felix had spent the whole hour asking her questions about herself, really taking an interest. A little overwhelmed, Sarabeth assured her it was just her way. She’d done the same with her the first time they met.

John, the man who’d practically ravished her in the elevator her first day, who’d taken her shopping and bought her french fries, was her boss. Nothing more and nothing less. She’d lapsed into calling him Mr. Felix again, and he’d not corrected her, calling her Miss Mackay in return. Sarabeth had looked from one to the other a few times and seemed about to say something then turned away. Smart cookie!

Formality was all that kept her from throwing herself in his lap. John Felix’s rare smiles brightened any room he was in, and his quiet humor broke the tension in many of the meetings that filled his days. He was everything she’d dreamed of as a mentor. His ability to see all aspects of a deal in an instant gave him the advantage over most who came up against him and helped his business partners to succeed right along with him. He also gave credit where it was due, and if he presented an idea of hers at a meeting, he let everyone present know who came up with it. Everything good she’d heard about him was true.

And he could kiss. Not that it would ever happen again.

In a few weeks, they’d be closing the deal for their first operation in a small Middle Eastern country she’d only ever seen on the map, and he’d shown her his process every step of the way. Luckily, Sarabeth had been there, too, providing a buffer between them, but no longer.

Next late night in the office, it would be the two of them alone. But why should it matter? John Felix had kissed her once then said it never happened. He’d forgotten about it, she was sure. If he wanted someone in his bed, he could just lift a finger or make a call.
