Chapter Eight

The second busiest day of the week was always Friday, when I tried to wrap up as many tasks as possible before the weekend and set my to-do list for the following week. There was a time when it hadn’t mattered so much because I would end up working through the weekend anyway.

But now that I’d decided having a life outside of work was a personal priority, I couldn’t rely on the extra two days for work tasks anymore.

Rhonda had just finished dropping a pile of folders on my desk when the office phone rang. “Of all times,” I grumbled, pulling a pencil from my hair to mark up a series of proofs. I held the receiver between my ear and shoulder. “Sarah Pilsner.”

“Ouch. You don’t sound very happy today. I thought you’d still be floating a little after our fun last night.”

Scott. I sighed. “Not unhappy. Just mind-blowingly busy,” I told him, a note of apology in my voice.

“I won’t keep you long then. But I was wondering why you skipped out on me this morning before breakfast.”

I rolled my eyes. I should have known why he was calling. “I’m sorry. You were sound asleep, and I knew I had a big day ahead of me. I needed an early start.”

“Gotcha. Maybe we can do a weekend date soon. How about a movie tomorrow night?”

“Okay, that could work,” I said, a little pleased and a little uneasy. “Give me a call tomorrow, and we’ll plan it out.” He let me go after that, which was a relief. The proofs weren’t going to check themselves.

Just as I got to the bottom of my pile of work, Rhonda knocked on the door again. I groaned quietly, hoping she wasn’t about to throw more work at me.

“Sorry, I know you’re swamped. I have projections for the Easter campaigns for you to review.”

I reached for the report Rhonda held and scanned through it. “This looks great. And right on the heels of our very successful Valentine’s campaign too. Things are looking better than ever.” I sat back with a sigh, happy to have some good news in the midst of my hectic day. The stress was a result of success, of course, so I wasn’t going to complain. In fact, I wondered again if it was time to think about opening a second office. That was looking more possible all the time.

Rhonda took a seat, looking nervous as she straightened her skirt before clasping her hands in her lap. I wondered what Scott would think of her body language.

“What’s up?” I asked, leaning back and taking off my reading glasses.

“I was thinking. I loved taking the reins on the Valentine’s follow-up, and I think you were pleased with my job. I thought it was fun and interesting.”

“And…” I said, my eyebrows raised slightly as an encouraging grin spread on my face.

“I would love to have a little more responsibility for Easter,” she finished, looking up at me hopefully.

I smiled outright, impressed with her moxie.
