"All right. Now, how about that workout?”
Zoey pinched my abs. “Why does that sound like you’re talking dirty to me?”
I pulled her even closer to me. “Because I am. This is foreplay, babe. Just foreplay.”
Chapter Twenty-Five
Zoey
On Monday morning,Colton and I went together to Browning’s office. He was on the fourth floor. Colton knocked at the open door.
Browning immediately rose to his feet. I guessed he was probably in his sixties but looked very fit.
"Colton, what brings you by? Oh, and you're Zoey, aren't you?" he asked.
I smiled. "Yes."
"It's great to meet you. I've heard a lot of things about you. So many, in fact, that I wasn't even sure you were real," he joked. “Colton is now actually responding to our requests and emails. Thank you."
"I just pointed out some tips and tricks," I said.
“Don’t downplay your work,” Colton replied.
“I’m not, but it’s give-and-take. I share techniques with my clients, but if they aren't open to it, then it’s all for naught." I clapped my hands together. "All right, well, I know you've got things to talk about. I'll see myself up to my office.”
"You know, Zoey, you should stay," Browning said. "I'd like to hear more about your work."
"Browning, I actually stopped by to ask about that email," Colton said.
Browning darted his gaze to Colton. I sat up straighter, rolling my shoulders, putting up my guard. Something was off.
"Listen, Colton, why don't we agree on a meeting time?"
"If something's wrong, I want to know now," Colton said.
"Well, all right." Browning ran a hand through his hair. "Fine, fine, then let's talk about it now. Take a seat. You know what? Both of you, actually. Maybe Zoey will be able to help with the issue at hand."
