Chapter Twenty

Jackson

My smile widens. Damn she was sexy. What she just did was straight from my fantasies. I’m not even sure she realizes how incredibly sexy she is. Hell, walking in and seeing her standing at my stove cooking supper for us was a sexy as hell sight.

Working was getting way out of hand, so much so that I fired Rachael today. Because I fired her, I had to go and get someone to change the locks and recode the system. I need someone there that I can trust. Rachael went and scheduled four patients at the same time, but didn’t tell me and I left to go to lunch with Shannon and they were at the office waiting. This of course set a sour note with them, rightfully so. They had no clue that suddenly Rachael didn’t know how to do her job. It was one hell of a mess, but I’m hopefully going to start working it out here soon. Part of me is just glad I didn’t have her schedule Sebastian’s surgery, Lord knows what she would have done with that.

Firing her was a nightmare all in its own. Hiring her had been a rush decision, but she worked out well. Worked hard and proved herself, but then her actions as of lately. I just don’t understand.

Walking out into the reception area, Rachael was gathering her stuff. It was now or never and frankly, I couldn’t handle another day like today or hell the past month. I’ve given her enough chances to work out whatever she was going through and get back to business as usual, but it didn’t seem to be happening. So, I was left with no choice.

“Ms. Clark, I need to speak with you.”

“Yes, Dr. Williams,” she smiled sweetly, but I could see the anger in her eyes.

“Ms. Clark,” I stated walking further into the room. “I’ve given you far too many chances to get out of whatever funk you’ve been in. Frankly after today’s stunt I can’t keep giving you those chances. I’m going to need your keys. Today was your last day.”

“What!” She yells. “You can’t fire me!”

Staying calm even though I wanted to scream right back, “I can and I have. You’re fired. Now again, I need your keys.”

She starts laughing. “You’re funny Jackson. I’ll see you tomorrow.” She turns and starts walking out the door.

“No, you won’t. You’re fired. Now you can either give me my keys back or you will be charged for the cost of replacing the locks,” I started to get angry.

“You’re firing me because of her,” she hissed. “She feels threatened by me and she should.”

I raise an eyebrow at this statement. “No. I’m firing you today for the inability to complete your job in an efficient and productive manner. You’re ignoring office rules and in the end have cost me two clients. That is what I’m firing you for and that is why you need to give me your keys and get out of my office.
