Chapter Ten

Ann tried not to laugh when the twenty-something cafeteria worker showed her to a table in a remote corner. Who had a reserved seat in a medical building’s cafeteria? Apparently, the doctor who owned the whole place did, which shouldn’t have surprised her. She was also told her “date” had taken the liberty of ordering lunch for both of them.

Thinking about what kind of person would do all that, Ann frowned as she sat at the non-descript table waiting for him to appear. If the man thought he was going to treat Georgia Bates so cavalierly, Dr. Brentwood Colombo, too-rich-for-his-own-good plastic surgeon, would need to hire a proctologist to remove Georgia’s foot from his handsome butt after she’d kicked it.

After ten minutes went by, another cute cafeteria worker brought a basket of crackers to the table along with a tray containing two gourmet salads. Ann highly doubted the healthy greens with sprinkles of goat cheese and almonds had been assembled in the kitchen of a place sporting laminate table tops and plastic seats.

Moments later, a carafe of tea with mint leaves was delivered, along with two glasses full of chipped ice.

Having been raised to be polite, Ann ignored the salad and instead opened a package of crackers to nibble. It would stave off her hunger enough until her now very late date showed up. Luckily, she didn’t have anything in her mouth when the man finally appeared in the cafeteria doorway. All it had taken was one look to completely understand why Georgia had nicknamed him Hollywood.

Females swarmed him with welcoming smiles and happy chatter. Some even offered hugs which he returned in kind with no holding back. Their reactions were understandable given the way he looked. Slightly taller than most women, Brentwood Colombo wore a custom fitted suit that matched his still nearly black hair color. He had gray temples instead of Cal’s striking silver ones, but the drabness just created a contrast for his clear skin and clearer eyes. The man was clean shaven with a polished white smile that shone all the way across the room.

In all ways, he was sinfully handsome, but his allure was more than that. He seemed to genuinely take an interest in every woman who spoke to him. He asked questions, laughed at teasing, and gave each and every one of them a caring smile.

In short… the man was the polar opposite of Georgia Bates.

If Trudy and Jellica could see what she was seeing, they’d be just as astounded as she was that their cranky pants friend had enticed this incredible looking man into asking her out. Ann shook her head to dislodge her shock. The last thing she needed was to be less than confident about fostering the man’s relationship to Georgia. But for the first time since this idea had occurred to her, she did wonder if she was in over her head.

So was Georgia if she really liked him… which could explain her friend’s determination to run the other way.
