I jerk in my seat, spilling my coffee down my blouse. “Shit—shoot. No one.” I hurry and click out of the job site. “I was reading my horoscope.”
Theo looks scrumptious in a fitted black suit. Unlike his usual attire, he isn’t wearing a tie. The top button of his shirt is open, exposing a sliver of his chest. He takes a closer step. “And what did it say?”
“What did what say?”
“Your horoscope.”
Oh, yeah. “You know, the typical. Today’s a great day to be a go-getter. Don’t ignore that intuition about a friend. Avoid cheap Chinese food at all costs.” Trust me, that should be in everyone’s daily reading.
“And the asshole part?”
“Oh,” I wave at him, “just calling the reading an asshole. I mean, if you don’t eat Chinese food from a hole in the wall, is it really Chinese food?”
And there’s the look I swear I’ve been seeing. The spark I want to deny but can’t. I cross my legs, and his eyes fall to my lap. I ignore it and straighten. “Did you need coffee? Your agenda?”
“I hear you submitted a change of address with HR.”
“What?” I look up at him, bewildered that he already knows this information. Especially since I submitted the request less than an hour ago. “Wow, your HR is really on top of things. Did they also report the color underwear I’m wearing today?”
He blinks, and his jaw tightens. “My agenda and coffee.” He turns and disappears into his office.
Okay then.
Theo
I shut my office door and sit at my desk, tossing the file on top. I grab my phone and press the extension I need. “IT, this is Jason.”
“Jason. Theo Monroe. I need you to put a site block on the computer for Fay Evans.”
“Like stop them from getting on social media?”
“No. Any site related to job search engines. If she tries to use it, I want it blocked.”
“Oh, okay, I can do that. I’ll configure her network to reject anything concerning those IP addresses.”
“Good.” I go to hang up but stop. “Actually, is there a way to reconfigure her search so our company website comes up instead?” I smirk.
“No doubt. On it.”
Fay
I’m closing my computer for the day when Kyle approaches my desk.
“Hey.”
“Hey yourself.”
He stops in front of me. “Looks like you’re done for the day. Any chance you wanna join—”
“She’s working late,” Theo spits out as he storms past us and disappears into his office.
“Or not.” Kyle shoves his hands in his pocket. “Maybe we should try for a weekend—”
“Miss Evans, in my office now!”
I roll my eyes at Theo’s booming voice. “I’m sorry. Raincheck?”
“Yeah, sure.”
