Page 141 of Falling For The Boss

I know you hoped for a different outcome

I won’t say I told you so

But…

Kara: You can sure be a bitch

Go ahead

Know your fingers are itching

I’ll give you a free pass this one time

Mia: TOLD YOU SO!

Ah… that feels better

SO…MUCH…BETTER

Kara: – Glad I can help you out

Mia: Had a hunch you’d be making this call

So I got a head start

Wear something extra pretty,

and sexy Sunday to Melissa’s birthday party.

I invited Grant

Almost like a test drive

No pressure

Unless there are sparks

Then press away

Who is better than me?

Apparently, no one.

Unlike Mia’s other matchups that ended in disaster, I instantly liked Grant. He looked even better in real life than in the pictures. He was charming, easy to talk with, and awesome with my niece and nephew. He was observant and had me in stitches when he imitated my sister’s PTA pals.

I planned on sleeping over at Mia’s house after dinner and taking the train to work in the morning. Instead, I shared an Uber with Grant on Sunday night. Unlike Jonathan, Grant didn’t hesitate to kiss me goodbye. Or make actual plans for Tuesday night.

Although, sparks were flying between Grant and me, I caved like a house of cards on Thursday morning when Jonathan asked me over the phone from Brussels what my sister and I were up to on Friday night.

“Hey you,” I said, as I made my way over to where Jonathan sat at the bar, nursing a scotch. “Have you been here long?”

His eyes twinkled. “Just long enough to get the owner to want to order four cases of your hot and spicy tequila.”

I liked how he referred to the liquor as mine.

“Excellent. My work is done.”

“Every time I see Ralph, he wants the inside scoop on our new stuff. So I tried your pitch on him. Operations will have a purchase order first thing Monday morning. I wouldn’t be surprised if he slipped into his office and logged on to our site. He was that excited.”
