CHAPTER 17

ROB HAD BEATEN ME TO WORK for a change and was behind closed doors when I arrived on Monday and so I printed out his emails and posted some updates on my blog while I waited for him to come out. I was still riding the high from my night with Nicholas and while I completed my morning tasks, I replayed the events of the date in my mind, from the glass of wine at the bar, to sitting across from each other at our cozy table in the corner where we talked about everything from my favorite books to his favorite music. And last but certainly not least were the hours spent rolling around in my bed after dinner and the next morning where we collaborated on his Penny Lane remix. Then he showered at my place before heading into work on Sunday.

At about 10:30, Rob’s office door finally opened and I heard a female laughing before Rob walked out with a tall, pretty girl who looked to be about my age with straight auburn hair that fell past her shoulders.

Rob smiled and approached my desk. “And this is Kimberly, my loyal assistant. Kimberly, meet Daneen, the newest member of the squad.”

I smiled into her amber eyes. “Hi there. Welcome to the group!”

She gave me a tight smile, her upper lip disappearing into her gums. “Nice to meet you.”

“Kim was my assistant at T & F before I came here,” Rob said.

“Feels like forever,” I joked.

Looking at Rob, Daneen said, “I’m sure.”

Giving me a crisp nod, Rob said, “Well, Kim’s invaluable. No one else can multi-task like her.”

I knew he was making a jab about my blog and shook my head at him. “Rob’s a great boss. You’ll see.”

Daneen glanced at me dismissively and turned back to Rob. “Should we go find Nicholas?”

Rob nodded. “Yeah. He should be here by now. Kim, can you make a reservation for five at A Voce? 12:30?”

“Sure,” I said, reaching for the Zagat guide on my desk.

“Thanks. We’ll be in Nicholas’ office,” Rob said.

“Okay. See you guys later,” I said.

With a toss of her hair, Daneen said, “Thanks” before walking away with Rob.

After I made the reservation at A Voce, I chewed on my pen, accessing my initial impression of Daneen. I had a sour taste in my mouth I couldn’t swallow down. I scratched my head and let out a deep exhale. I didn’t like her.

After I finished printing and filing Rob’s emails, I went to make copies of some letters. When I got back to my desk, there were sounds coming from Rob’s office, most notably an irritating female laugh. Imitating it, I muttered, “ahahahahaha” and snorted. And then I heard the muffled sounds of Nicholas’ deep voice. I stood up and walked to Rob’s door. “Sorry to interrupt.”

“No worries,” Rob said.

“You’re all set for A Voce at 12:30.” I could have called Rob with the information, but I was dying to see Nicholas. I looked over at him and smiled.
