She reached under the ribbon and pulled the tag attached to the collar. “Seems Winnie has a date tonight.” She laughed.
“Yes, she does and I don’t want her getting frisky with Simon, so you’ll need to chaperone.”
“Simon has been around a little longer. What am I talking about? I don’t believe I’m arranging a play date—”
“A dinner date, thank you.”
“A dinner date for a dog.” She looked at the cute little bundle trying to kiss her. “Stop that. Okay, okay…seems Winnie is anxious about her date. Pick us up at six thirty.”
“See you tonight.”
“Bye.” She hung up and stared at the cute, petite dog. “I’m not sure why Sean sent you.” Winnie barked. “Is that so? You are so cute.” The little dog barked again. “Oh, and it seems you know it too. What am I going to do with you?” Winnie licked her face. “Okay, so if you’re going to be here, there are a few rules you need to know. No boys, unless I approve. Definitely no sleepovers and, if you get into my closet, you’re gone. I don’t care how cute you are. And no jumping on clients. Understand?” Winnie barked again followed by a smile.
Antonio walked in and laughed at Kyla talking to the dog. “You look very comfortable. Who sent the dog?”
“A friend.”
“Was it the same friend that sent all the other stuff too?”
“What stuff
?”
“Come with me.” She got up with the dog in her arms and followed him.
“What’s all this?”
“It came with that thing you’re holding,” Antonio replied pointing to the dog.
“Winnie, her name is Winnie.” Kyla instantly became defensive and protective of her little charge. She sorted through all the goodies, smiling at Sean’s thoughtfulness. “How am I going to get all of this home?”
“According to the note, you don’t.”
“What?” she questioned her assistant of more than five years.
“This note says, these are the things, the dog—”
“Winnie.”
“Winnie, will need when she’s here.”
“Okay, so make a list of everything here for me, so I can duplicate it for home. Thank you Antonio.”
“You’re welcome, but that thing is your responsibility.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah.”
“No, I’m serious. The note says, the only person allowed to take care of it, is you.”
“Let me see that.” She snatched the note out of his hand and read it. “He’s got some nerve.” She laughed.
“Who?”
“A friend.”
Chapter 32
“I DON’T KNOW WHO THIS new friend is, but I like him,” Antonio commented. He walked in with a couple of bags from Dean and Deluca and placed them on the chair in front of Kyla’s desk. He also placed a small bouquet of white lilacs on her desk.
