The rest of the week passes swiftly, with virtually no hiccups. Brett managed to secure two of the three potential clients from the party and he also brought in a couple of new prospects that he had been talking to of his own accord, so we were both damned busy all week, which I think helped.

I have spent the week acting like the perfect personal assistant and not letting Brett get under my skin for even a second. More than once, I caught him watching me when he thought I wasn’t looking, and I just have to hope he didn’t catch me doing the exact same thing.

By the time I reached my desk this morning, I almost convinced myself I was over Brett, that I no longer even found him attractive. It is a lie of course, but I thought maybe if I tell myself enough, I will start to believe it.

It’s funny to think that this time last week, I was a tongue tied wreck around Brett. I guess a week can make a big difference.

I glance at my watch. It’s half past one and I know I need to leave the office now if I’m to make it to Mr. Connell’s place at two. He called this morning, saying it had been just over a week since Brett took over running the business and he would like to have a meeting with the both of us to see how everything was going. I tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn’t hear of it. So he eventually convinced me by reminding me it was Friday and I would get an early finish this way as I could go home after the meeting. The meeting is being held at Mr. Connell’s home as he’s out of the hospital now.

Pick up the pile of files I have already gathered together and copied, I know Mr. Connell will want them left at his place so he can familiarize himself with the new accounts. I’ve also made myself a couple of pages of notes in case Mr. Connell has any questions about the new clients. I stuff those into my purse and sling it over my shoulder.

Brett has already left, telling me he had a lunch appointment and would meet me there. I pointed out there was nothing in his diary about a lunch appointment and he told me the appointment was to have lunch with his mom. It means he’d already be at the house when I arrive, giving me another reason to make damned sure I’m not late for this.

I wonder fleetingly if they’ll have already discussed the important points before I get there, but I dismiss the idea. Neither of the men would think twice about just telling me I wasn’t needed and risking hurting my feelings. If Mr. Connell wants me there, it’s for a reason.

I call a cab as I go down in the elevator. I go to the street to wait for a taxi and it’s there within five minutes.
