Chapter 22

Cora

Things were going so much better than last week. I was still learning the ropes, but I felt like I had found my groove.

I rarely saw Rogan. He was either in his office on the phone or going out to the railyard. I didn’t think he was purposely avoiding me, and I wasn’t really trying to avoid him, but we weren’t going out of our way to see each other either.

I stared out the window, thinking about everything. I thought about the business. I thought about going out to the graveyard to visit my dad, even if the headstone wasn’t up yet. Mostly, I thought about Rogan and that night. I didn’t want to think about it, which was probably why I was thinking about it so much.

I tried to remember when I had so thoroughly enjoyed a sexual encounter. Being with Rogan had been different. It had been hot and fiery. Everything I felt seemed to be heightened. I tried to tell myself it was the situation. My nerves were raw and that was why it had been so much more intense with him.

I could tell myself that was all I wanted, but it wasn’t accurate. It was him. Something about him just hit me differently. I slowly turned in my chair and looked at the notes I had been jotting down before I got lost in the daydream. I picked up the yellow pad and walked down the hall to Beau’s office, which was in the opposite direction of Rogan’s.

“Got a minute?” I asked, popping my head in his office.

“Always,” he said with a friendly smile. “Have a seat.”

I took a seat and realized how much easier life was when I wasn’t wearing a skirt. I didn’t have to worry about flashing anyone or keeping my legs crossed or closed together. Last night, I’d spent a ridiculous amount of time doing some online shopping to get more pant suits, pushing the skirts and dresses to the back of the closet.

“How are you?” I asked.

He smiled. “I’m good. What’s going on?”

“I wanted to run something by you and get your opinion on it.”

“Sure, what is it?”

“Last week, Rogan made it very clear that the guys that worked at the railyards were really the backbone of the business.”

He chuckled. “That’s true, and Rogan has a particular fondness for the job since it is where he started.”

“I was thinking they need to be recognized. We give the managers an extra paid day off every month and we are always buying donuts for the staff. We have a breakroom stocked with coffee and water and so on. What are we doing for the guys breaking their backs to keep things moving?”

He looked thoughtful. “Well, they are given performance reviews every six months with the possibility of a wage increase when office staff only get reviews on a yearly basis.”

That was not exactly what I had in mind. “I’d like to treat them to lunch once a month.”

“Treat who?”

“The yard guys, and women, of course.
