What was it about this woman that made me lose my cool? I put on my boss face. "Anyway, Ms. Gomez, why don't you come with me and we can get started?"

The idea to meet with all the new hires had been a spur of the moment inspiration. I needed to capture Mae's attention, and if I wasn't singling her out, how could she argue? The downside was that I would have to have one on ones with at least six other new employees, but really, that wasn't that big of a downside. The reason I didn't make an effort to get to know most people until they'd been with the company for at least six months was that we saw the highest turnover in that time span. It was all about the worth of the investment.

Getting one conversation with Mae's undivided attention was completely worth adding the other six.

I didn't have to turn around to know she was following me. Besides the quiet thump of her thick heeled shoes following me, that was the kind of person Mae was, by her own admission. She stuck to the rules, she followed the plan, she rarely stepped outside her expectations. But when she did...

I had to stop thinking about those kinds of things while wearing a suit. Someone might think I was hosting the Russian Circus in my pants.

I sent a notification for the valet to bring my car around as Mae and I entered the elevator. We were alone.

"Are we going to your office?" Mae asked.

"No."

She fidgeted a moment before asking, "Are we going to a conference room?"

"No." I was enjoying her discomfort. That was unkind of me, wasn't it? But I'd been off balance and uncomfortable for over two months because of her. She could handle the next ten minutes.

"Do you want to tell me where we're going?" Her voice was breathy with exasperation.

"Not particularly." I had to hold back a laugh. My anger was fading as I took back control of the situation. I would have my answers sooner or later. I would also have her, sooner or later. Of the two, if I had to choose which to have first, it would be Mae. Answers could come after.

Her discomfort was rapidly morphing to irritation. Red was creeping up the sides of her cheeks and her eyes were sparking. Damn if that didn't make me want to push her buttons even more.

"Mr. Dahl." Her tone was all broken glass and iron bars as the elevator door opened. "I will have no qualms about filing a suit for sexual harassment, if need be."

She was like an angry kitten, all blonde fluff and tiny claws. I suspected she wouldn't find that image as amusing as I did, so I kept it to myself. "I assure you, your honor is safe with me."

She raised one eyebrow. "My honor can take a jump. But am I safe with you?"

That was the question of the day, wasn't it? As curious as I was
