Page 107 of His Flash Mate
I glanced back at the pair, and they saw my confusion.
“It’s a huge basket of period supplies and a vase of fresh flowers,” the first woman said.“I hope the supplies don’t go away.I can’t tell you how many times my period has come a day early, and I didn’t have anything with me.”
“Hopefully, no one ruins a good thing by raiding the supplies for any home use,” her friend said.“There’s always someone who thinks it’s a free-for-all and never considers the people who come after them.”
I picked up Konni’s cup and wondered if he knew what kind of expectation he’d set.
“Maybe head it off with a note,” I said.“Something like, for emergency use only, not meant for restocking your personal supply.”
“Do you think that would be okay?”
“Absolutely.I don’t know everyone’s personalities here yet, but like you said, there’s always someone to wreck a good thing.I’ll be adding a similar note to the syrups later.”
They both looked at the syrups with interest.“Are they for everyone to use?”
“Yep.”
I left them to make their own coffee and headed back to our area.
“Who wants to deliver this?”I asked.“I need to make a note for the syrups so everyone knows not to use the last of them and to notify us if they get low.”
“I’m already on top of the sign welcoming everyone to use the syrups,” Bomir said.
“And there’s a whole case of both kinds in that supply cabinet,” Marius said.“We won’t accidentally run out.”
I stood there like an idiot, holding the coffee I really didn’t want to deliver.
Edi popped out of his chair.
“Here.Let me knock on the door for you,” he said.
“No, I want to play the ‘not it’ game.”
“We’re smart enough to know that you’re the only one who will survive going in there right now.He’ll thank you for interrupting and thank us for sending you.”
“She hates me,” I said softly in a last-ditch plea.
“She hates everyone.You happen to get more of it because you’re single and pretty.”
He knocked on the door, opened it without waiting for a reply, and pushed me in with enough force that I had to focus on moving with the momentum or spill the coffee.
But I wasn’t so distracted that I was unaware of Lianna’s position behind Konni’s desk or how her hip was brushing against his arm as she leaned over to point at something on his monitor.
Without looking directly at either of them, I approached his desk.
“Your coffee as requested, Mr.Steele,” Edi said from behind me.“Can I get you anything, Ms.Stonestock?”
“You need to train your assistants better, Drake,” Lianna said, straightening away from him.“And install a lock on the door.”
“They are well-trained, Lianna.And if I had a lock on the door, how would you be able to barge in?”He looked at Edi.“Check into a lock for my door.”His gaze shifted to me as I set the cup on his desk.“Thank you for the coffee, Ms.Elmantas.”
I nodded and left, telling myself I didn’t care how much Lianna rubbed up against him.It wasn’t my business.It would be better for me if she did jump his bones.
My inner sex goddess was pissed, though, because I wanted to be the one to tap that.
I sat at my station and glared at the flowers.
“Maybe empty the water before you throw them,” Marius said softly over the monitor.
