“I see your point.” He stopped and thought for a while. “Alright. Amy, you and Susan can draw up a plan to put this new idea in motion.”
Susan smiled relieved. The feedbacks she’d been getting weren’t very promising. “That was a sensible idea.”
“We’ll take one step at a time and make sure staff will be involved in all levels.” Amy added.
When the meeting finished, Amy left the room carrying her laptop. She walked the hallways towards the stair case and she almost bumped into Juan.
“Amy.” He held her shoulders to keep her from falling. “Be careful.” He eyed her with a serious countenance.
Amy startled and looked up at him. “Oh, sorry.” She smiled politely and stepped unperceptively back.
After the night of the exhibition he had been acting a little oddly. Amy didn’t know what to attribute it to and didn’t want to risk asking. But he directed her too long stares, talked little and didn’t seem quite the carefree, flirty young man he used to be.
Juan stepped back too. “How’s everything?” He clasped his hands behind his back.
“Not bad.” A scratchy feeling of discomfort invaded her for no apparent reason. “And you?”
“Going.” His eyes didn’t meet hers and he was glancing around.
“Fine.” She waited for him to say something, but he didn’t. “Ok.” She saw him looking through her. “I have to go back to my office.”
He showed a plastic smile. “I also have to go back to work.”
“See you.” She said and started walking.
He nodded his head briefly and went his way.
His change of behaviour felt a trifle weird. As she came to her office, she immersed herself in work and forgot all about it.
Later that evening, Amy and Mark were in the sauna relaxing after a busy day. Both were naked. Mark was sitting, leaning on the wooden wall and Amy was encased between his legs, leaning on his chest. He had her wrapped in his arms. They had been like this for a long while, just enjoying each other’s company. A hot languor seized their bodies and they sighed with lazy pleasure.
“I ran into Juan when I left the meeting this afternoon.” She murmured casually.
“Really.” Mark’s head was resting on the wooden wall. His hands caressed her arm tenderly
She rolled her head and looked up at him. “He was acting a little strange.”
“How so?” He was more interested in the warm dripping of her skin than in Torres.
“He seemed rather...aloof, to be precise.” She cradled herself more cosily against his muscular chest.
Obviously, Mark hadn’t told Amy about the conversation he had with Torres the day he saw Torres in her office. She’d certainly tell him off if she came to know that Mark had practically told Torres to keep away from her. Ms Independent would ride again, no doubt.
“Well, he’s been busy these days.” Mark answered evasively. He lowered his head and started scraping his lips along her face and held her tighter.
She stopped talking to savour his tenderness. Her head fell back, giving him more to caress. He just did that. “I only thought it remarkable.” She continued.
He slowly removed her hair to caress the nape of her neck. “I wouldn’t worry if I were you.”
He nibbled the curve between her neck and her shoulder, causing her to shiver.
“Understood, boss.” She said teasingly.
“What would staff management suggest us do now?” He followed her playful tone.”
She breathed out a chuckle. “Every hard-working individual should relax at the end of a long day.”
“Now that’s a valuable hint.” His hand went up from her arm to her shoulder caressingly.
