The BMW wasn’t behind her, she concluded after she turned off the main road. It was almost the end of January and the bitter icy winds were a testimony to the fact that winter was far from over.
She’d never been to his office, and it struck her that he’d never invited her. She’d called to make sure he was in the building before making her way there.
The barrier was opened by the security guard who gave her a nod of recognition as he directed her to a parking area designated for the executives of the company. She felt a mixture of surprise and pleasure when her door was opened and she saw him standing there.
"Hey."
"Hey yourself." Taking her hand, he brought it to his lips. "To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"I just wanted to see you."
Tucking her hand through his arm, he led the way toward the building and the towering glass doors which opened to admit them. "You saw me this morning."
She had to stop and take in the impressive reception area with the blue and gray decor. Receptionists manned the area, busy with phones and computers.
"Very nice." She murmured.
"I agree." With a nod at the woman passing by, he led the way to a private elevator and punched the button.
"I was just-" She didn’t get further than that as she found herself pushed up against the wall and her mouth crushed beneath his. He managed to end the kiss, timing it perfectly just as the doors slid smoothly open.
"I need a minute." She whispered hoarsely, one hand going to her mouth.
"I need several." He said with a grin as he took her hand in his. "I’m in pain here."
"You should’ve thought about that before you jumped me."
"Natural reflex. I love jumping you." He guided her toward his office where a sleek and very attractive older woman was talking on the phone. "Give me a minute, please. Ms. Bledsoe, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"This is my assistant, Constance."
"Nice to meet you in person. We spoke over the phone."
"We did." The woman turned her sharp light green eyes to Brady. "I’ve moved your one p.m. to two and arranged for the parties to come here."
"I have no idea what I’d do without you."
"Hopefully, you never have to find out. I sent to the kitchen for tea and sandwiches. It’s on the table by the window.”
“Thanks, Constance."
With a nod, the woman went back to her conversation.
"I should get myself an assistant." Macayla murmured as they went into his office. "And wow!" They stepped into his office.
It had the same teal and gray as the rest of the building, but the large room screamed elegance with a huge fireplace tucked into one corner. The desk was an old-fashioned antique gleaming in the lights coming from the floor to ceiling window that offered a stunning view of the city.
"You like it?" Taking her coat, he went to hang it on the coat tree by the window.
"I love it. It's not too much, elegant yet cozy at the same time."
"I should give you the tour. Shall we?" Taking her hand, he led her over to the sofa. "What brings you to my neck of the woods?"
"A girl can’t drop in and see her man?" She watched as he poured the tea and handed her the cup.
"My girl doesn’t just up and come for a visit and her man has to wonder because she’s never done it before."
"Which begs the question. Why have I never been invited here?"
