Chapter Five

Although he was in at his usual six o’clock, Alex cancelled his Monday morning sales meeting. No point in having it without being mentally present for the third week in a row. His staff would notice, and his credibility would suffer. His success was the direct result of being a focused leader, and he didn’t give a shit about business right now.

He had one thing on his mind, and had since the Friday night at Charli’s when he spotted the blonde he passed earlier on the causeway dancing with her friends. Besides a fresh face and a sculpted body, she had something about her that called to him.

He knew as soon as he saw her dancing. Her friends were all looking around the room to see who was watching them. Not Claire. She danced for herself, no one else. In their short time together, his observation had been confirmed. She knew what she wanted, and wasn’t concerned that others didn’t share her vision.

He knew she was drawn to him, too. But she chose herself over him, and he wouldn’t want it any other way. Although it was driving him crazy, he admired that she’d rather keep a job that moved her closer to her goals than continue a relationship with him. The fact that he could keep her in style while she pursued her writing didn’t seem to cross her mind as being a consideration. He’d never before met a woman, or a man, who didn’t want something from him.

His eyes returned to his monitor, and he read the short email exchange he had with Claire on Saturday for what seemed like the millionth time.

“Dear Mr. Harriman, Thank you for your recent offer of employment. You mentioned a salary increase in addition to immediate availability of benefits. I’ve found the benefit package description in the employee manual you left. That is more than satisfactory. However, I’d like to know the new salary amount so I can compare it to other jobs offers I’ve received. Best regards, Claire Davenport.”

“Dear Claire, We’ll pay you twenty percent more than the best offer you’ve received. Name your salary. Simply inform Human Resources of your requirements upon your return. —Alex.”

“Dear Mr. Harriman, Those terms are acceptable. Whom should I see at Human Resources? Best regards, Claire Davenport.”

“There have been some additional changes at the company since your departure. Anna Brigham is no longer with the company. Please let me know your desired start date, and I’ll inform Andrew Martin, our new HR director, to expect you. —Alex.”

“Thank you. I can start immediately. Best, Claire Davenport.”

“Claire, I’ve emailed Andrew to expect you in his office at eight-thirty on Monday morning. Is that acceptable?”

“Yes, I look forward to beginning work at Harriman Motors once again. Thank you, Claire Davenport.”

Alex had delayed responding to her last email. He wanted to add a personal reply, but hesitated. He interpreted her formality as a signal that she was ready to come back to work, but wanted to maintain a professional distance from him.
