“Ég elska þig, fallega stúlka.”
“What does that mean?” Jesska opened a drawer and grabbed a few personal files, laying them flat into the box.
“I’ll tell you when you get here,” he promised.
“Okay.”
“Are you really all right?”
“Yes. I’m fine. Go back to your meeting,” she said.
“Austri should be there now.”
“He told you?”
“Já, elskan. He told me, but not until just now when he said he was at your building.”
She wrinkled her nose. “I didn’t want him to worry you.”
“We can talk about it when you get here.”
Jesska sighed. “Fine.”
“Can I let you go?”
“Yes,” she said. “’Bye.”
She hung up and glanced around her cube. Empty. Just as she opened a drawer for one last check, her office phone rang, and she answered it. “Jesska Shane.”
“Hey, Jess,” Tiffany, the receptionist said.
“Hi, Tiff.”
“There’s a really hot guy in the lobby for you. He said his name is Austri.”
“Right. He’s here to pick me up.”
“Are you dating him?” she whispered.
“No. He’s... um... a friend, I guess you could say.”
“Cool. Is he taking you to lunch at nine o’clock in the morning?” Tiffany was bubbly, cute, and incredibly nosy.
“I just got fired, Tiff.”
“Shut the front door. You?” she exclaimed.
“Yep. Me.” Jesska glanced around and realized she needed an extra pair of hands to carry it all down. “Can you send him up, please? I need some help getting this stuff down to the car.”
“Of course I can. Hey, if you guys aren’t dating, give him my number, okay?”
“Sure, Tiffany.” She rolled her eyes. “I’ll do that.”
“Thanks, lady. Okay, he’s on his way up.”
“Thanks.” Jesska hung up and went to the elevator bank to await Austri.
