“Well, maybe we should celebrate by making all your dreams come true.” He raised his eyebrow at me.
“I was hoping you’d say that.”
He leaned down and placed a soft kiss against my lips. His fingers ran down my back, stopping at the arch as he pulled me against him. And in an instant I knew that we were okay. All the tension seemed to evaporate when his tongue parted my lips and a low moan escaped from his. He really was the man of my dreams. My naughty, sinful dreams.
Chapter Fifty-Nine
Bee
As I stepped off the elevator, Jenkins stepped on with a box full of his personal belongings.
“Jenkins, I’m sor…”
“Save it, Bridget. You didn’t like the idea anyway. Not that what happened was my fault. That piece of shit is throwing the blame on me. He was the one that made the call. He’s the one that should get the can, not me. That old son of a bitch. I’ll show him.”
“I hope you do.”
Jenkins laughed. “Later, Bridget.” The elevator doors closed behind him.
I meant what I said. I didn’t get along with Jenkins, but I was sorry that he had gotten fired. This whole mess was Mr. Ellington’s fault. Jenkins shouldn’t have been the one to take the blame. But at the same time, there was a little pep in my step. Because his job was going to be mine. And if I needed to remind Mr. Ellington I had what it took, I had a whole speech prepared.
I pulled my coat off and laid it across the back of my chair. I rubbed my hands together to help warm them. Mr. Ellington’s office door was closed. I wasn’t sure when the best time to talk to him would be. Maybe first thing. But he had just fired Jenkins. Maybe he was in a firing kind of mood.
My thought process was disturbed when something lightly touched my shoulder, making me jump.
Kendra laughed. “Geez, a little amped up, huh?”
“Yeah. I was just trying to decide if I should go talk to him. I saw Jenkins on the way out.”
“You missed the show. He threw a stapler at Mr. Ellington’s head. It was hilarious.”
“Really? Wow, I can’t picture Jenkins doing that at all.”
“People do crazy stuff when they get fired.”
“They do.” I pulled my chair out and sat down.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you going to go talk to him?”
“I think maybe I should wait till a little later. He might be in a bad mood if he just got hit with a stapler.”
“He dodged it.”
“Still.” I shrugged my shoulders. I could feel myself wimping out.
“Don’t give him more time to find a replacement for Jenkins. Show him it’s you. No, tell him it’s you. Bring back Kick Ass Bee for a few minutes.”
“Okay.” My heart was starting to beat really fast. I was so nervous. “You’re right.” I stood up from my chair. “I’ll do it now.”
“Attagirl.”
I smoothed down my skirt before knocking on Mr. Ellington’s door. You got this, Bee.
“Come in,” Mr. Ellington’s gruff voice sounded through the door.
I took a deep breath and opened up the door. “Can I speak to you for a second?”
He gestured for me to come into the room. “Close the door behind you, Bridget.”
