My day didn’t get any better. No less than three other men in the department came to talk to me about picking Heidi over them. From what I gathered, they didn’t believe that a woman could accurately do a man’s job. When the last guy flat-out told me that, it took all my energy not to punch him in the teeth.
“That’ll do,” I said, my voice short and irritated. “Heidi is perfectly capable of being a lead engineer and more. You should get used to the idea. Now, get out of my office.”
I spent the rest of the day in silence and solitude. I knew that I had been short with everyone because they were talking about Heidi. But I also felt the general attitude was reprehensible. Morgan could handle all of Wright Construction just as well, if not better, than Jensen. There was no reason to say otherwise about Heidi.
Before I realized it, the time had flown by, and suddenly, I was well past the end of the day. I rubbed my tired eyes and stood from my desk. Today had been exhausting. As I was about to shut my computer down, one last email came through.
Ryan Copeland.
I laughed. I hadn’t heard that name in a while. I opened the email from probably my best golfing friend and read the contents.
You know you want to.
I scrolled down and saw what he meant. I frowned and then contemplated. Hmm…maybe he’s right.
I pulled out my phone and shot Heidi a text message.
Go away with me this weekend.
A ding sounded from down the hallway, and I found Heidi herself walking toward me. She looked just as worn down from the day as I did.
“I didn’t know you were still here,” I said.
“I didn’t know you were still here either.” She held up her phone as she wandered into my office. “What’s this about?”
The floor was eerily empty when I closed the door behind her. “Do you want to go?”
She leaned backward against my desk. Her pencil skirt slid up her thighs, and I couldn’t help my gaze from shifting there.
“Landon, we should talk about this. You know it’s a bad idea for us to be seen together. What you did earlier…”
“Yes?” I asked, stepping up to her. I was close enough to touch her, but I didn’t.
“It was not smart.”
“Is anyone else here tonight?”
“No,” she told me. “Everyone left an hour ago. I was still filling out paperwork and figuring out everything I needed for the new job.”
“Good,” I told her. Then, I brought my lips down on top of hers.
“Landon, I said, after work,” she groaned into my mouth. But she didn’t stop me.
“This is after work.”
“I meant—fuck,” she said as she felt my dick press up against her.
“Go away with me this weekend.” My hands trailed down to her ass, and I greedily grabbed it. I loved her ass.
“Landon…”
“I want to celebrate your promotion.”
“Oh, Landon.”
“Say yes.”
I slowly eased her skirt up her legs once more, and she gasped slightly.
