Chapter 10

“Heather.” Simon’s eyes narrowed on her. “In my office.”

Her heart started pounding like crazy. She had only just stepped into her small office to begin making early morning phone calls to confirm staff attendance at a meeting later today.

“What’s this about?” she asked, her voice shaking.

But it was too late. Simon had already turned around and vanished from sight.

She set her handbag on her desk and inhaled a deep breath. After last night, her nerves were fried. And having to meet Simon in his office—presumably alone—was the last thing she wanted to do.

Heather headed into Simon’s office, trying her best to ignore her sweaty palms and racing heart. Yesterday was a mistake they had both agreed to get over. Put aside for the greater good. Her reputation. His career. Those were the things that mattered right now. Not whether Simon had spent all night thinking about her like she had been thinking about him.

He pulled out two chairs in front of his desk and gestured for her to sit across from him. “Have a seat. I’ve got some news. Things to discuss.”

Swallowing hard, she forced herself to shut the door behind her and walk over to him without showing the panic that was rising in her. She sat down and crossed her legs, trying to look professional and project a confidence she didn’t feel.

“What news?” she asked.

He sat down and leaned back in his chair. Simon was so tall that even when he leaned back his legs were practically brushing against hers. “First of all, I hope the driver got your son to school on time.”

Her stomach fluttered. Her boss was sitting to close to her that it made her body respond before she could even think. “Yes,” she said. “Thank you for sending the driver this morning. It was very kind of you.” After I was such a bitch last night. She didn’t bother saying that part out loud.

“No problem. It was my pleasure,” he said.

Her cheeks warmed when he said the word pleasure, so she tore her gaze away from him to stare at her hands. What was wrong with her? If she didn’t get it together quickly she was liable to make a complete fool of herself. “You wanted to discuss some news?”

“Right.” He crossed his arms. “I have a couple of things to go over with you. First things first: this is delicate, but I’ll be informing one of the board members about yesterday’s...events.”

Her mouth went dry. “What?”

He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “It’s Dover policy. If colleagues do something...sexual in nature, they have to report it.”

“Report it?” She practically choked on her words. “You mean like, every single time staff at Dover sleeps together they have to give some kind of detailed report?”

“Well, no. Not every single time. Didn’t you read the handbook? It was very clear,” Simon replied. “We just have to report any kind of romantic relationship—”

“We’re not in a relationship,” she said, cutting him off.

Simon blinked. “No. We’re definitely not.” He sighed.
