Chapter 36

I checked the time and realized it was still early but there was nothing more that demanded my attention at the office. I was looking forward to going home and enjoying a quiet night. Not that it was anything different from how I spent every other night. But tonight, I had a date with a new documentary about an archeological dig a hundred years ago. I was a nerd and I didn’t care.

I turned off my computer and got to my feet. “Hello?” I heard Mae’s voice call out. A second later, she appeared in the doorway.

“Hi,” I said.

“Leaving?” she asked.

“I was thinking about cutting out for the day. What brings you by?”

“I just wanted to finalize the plans for Monday,” she said.

“Ah, the big field trip. Have a seat.”

She sat down, dropping her purse on the floor and crossing one leg over the other. In the skirt she was wearing, I could see a long expanse of leg. She was wearing red pumps that were sexy and daring and extremely enticing.

“Did you work out the details with your director?” she asked.

I nodded. “I did. I’ve decided it is in the best interest of the museum and the students to close the museum for the duration of their visit.”

“Really? Isn’t that going to cost you a lot of money?”

I shrugged. “It’s only a few hours. Like you said, we are shaping the young minds of the future. I want to make sure I am doing my part to make sure future civilizations remember us and our ancestors.”

“Are you claiming the Egyptians as your ancestors?” she said with a laugh.

I shrugged. “It could be true. We all had to come from somewhere. Our parents and their parents and you get the idea.”

Her pretty laugh warmed my heart. “I think I’ll claim Cleopatra from my great to the hundredth power grandmother.”

I threw my head back and laughed. “Of course, you would.”

“Thank you for doing this,” she said. “I know it isn’t really your thing. And you certainly don’t owe me anything.”

“I want to do this.”

“Even if it’s a favor to me?” she questioned.

“Yes. I don’t see it as a favor to you. It’s for the school.”

She slowly nodded. “I know you are mad at me. You have every right to be. Kind of.”

“Why would I be mad at you?”

“Because I bought that statue. I know you wanted it and I bought it.”

I smirked. “Because you were mad at me.”

She pulled a face. “I was.”

“As in past tense? Are you not mad at me anymore?”

“Oh no, I’m still pissed, but maybe not as pissed.”

I laughed. “Got it. But that is a good step forward. I’ll take it. And I’ll work hard to make sure I never make you mad again.”

She let out a very unladylike snort. “I don’t think you should say things you can’t promise.”

“I’ll try not to make you angry,” I corrected.

“I look forward to seeing that. I think you should also try to sell me an oceanfront property in Arizona.
