“Is everything okay?” Valerie asks when she sees me zooming by her.
“I’m not as organized as I’d like this morning,” I say over my shoulder.
With my device in hand, I make my way to the conference room.
Arianne is still laughing her head off.
Sounds like Rhys and her are hitting it off. Good.
I enter without knocking.
Rhys stands up, a huge grin stretched across his face, malice twinkling bright in his eyes.
What is he up to?
Then, it all seems to happen in slow motion.
Arianne pivots on her chair, ready to get up, but freezes.
The warm smile on her gorgeous face dissipates, replaced by sheer confusion.
I’m dumbfounded.
I squint, certain I’m seeing things.
She mirrors my bewildered expression.
Ari is Arianne?
Whoa!
I didn’t put two and two together.
“Well, well, well,” I say, when I recover.
She stands up.
She’s wearing another suit of armor. This three-piece suit is navy-blue with white pinstripes. I catch a glimpse of her pencil skirt that hits her below the knee.
I swear I’m going to develop a fetish.
Just like last time, the look is strait-laced.
What are you hiding underneath that armor?
She’s staring at me.
I lift an expectant eyebrow.
She tilts her head back as if to take a better look at me.
“You?!” she says.
“Yes, me.”
“Nooooo…”
My grin widens in amusement. “Yeeees…” I mimic her.
