Journey

My first day on my new assignment wasn’t as bad as I expected.

I wasn’t entirely on board with the change in my responsibilities, mostly because I disagreed with letting Wayne get away with blackmailing me, but I didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would. Granted, I didn’t do much of anything besides listen to Nick talk about the vast array of charities that Primal Instincts, LLC, supported and the various fundraisers they’d put together over the years to raise money. Evidently, that would be my responsibility in this role—I was, in theory, an event planner.

It pained me to think of the degrees I’d earned and the fact they were going by the wayside, even if it was temporary. I’d only just begun to enjoy my role as a project manager, and now I was forced to do something different because Creed had put his foot down.

I had to admit the man’s manipulations weren’t easy to deal with. And no amount of fantastic orgasms were going to make it so.

I mean, it might help. Might make it tolerable.

Oh, who was I kidding? I could survive on the euphoria of epic orgasms regardless of my job.

Although Nick wanted to meet with his entire team to outline the shift in responsibility, today turned out to be a bad day for organizing one. I waited around for as long as I could, hoping to see Hawk, Garrison, or Creed pass by my office. It didn’t take me long to figure out that Hawk and Garrison didn’t spend much time on the seventh floor. For the most part, Creed, Nick, and Duke occupied the space, but Creed had been in and out of meetings all day, and Duke … well, Duke was being his regular corncob-up-the-ass self. Since I would rather talk to the hardwood floors in my apartment than try to have a conversation with him, I decided to slip out a few minutes early.

I packed up my things and took my time as I trekked through the building. Unfortunately, I didn’t encounter any of them, although I took the elevator to the main floor, hoping to force a chance meeting. Through the atrium, past the cafeteria. No Creed or Hawk or Garrison. Past the coffee shop, into the employee lobby.

Nope.

“Good night, Journey,” Kurt called out as I passed his security desk. “Congratulations on the promotion.”

I waved and smiled. “It’s temporary, but thanks.”

Not wanting to risk having to explain the circumstances around the temporary project, I kept my eyes on the exit. I was inches from hitting the security bar that would release the door when a man stepped in front of me.

“Here. Let me get that for you.”

His approach was a little too aggressive, but I paused and waited for him to open the door.

“Thanks.”

“You’re more than welcome.” He walked outside with me. “My name’s John.”

“Nice to meet you,” I replied, frowning when I realized he was walking with me.

I slowed my stride, not keen on him following me to my car.
