Page 46 of Getting Down to Business

When she left, she looked around before sneaking into Grayson’s office and shutting the door behind her.

She let out a little squeal.

“I got the job!”

“Awesome. I knew it would be you. You were the best choice. You should have seen the other clowns they led in and out of here.” She laughed as he came closer and bent to kiss her.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m happy for you, so I’m kissing you in celebration.”

“We’re working.”

“Not at the moment. I’m on break.”

“We can’t do this at work.”

“We can’t even kiss behind a closed door? Come on. I did get you that nice job. I kind of think you owe me.” He smiled.

“I’m pretty sure those are the exact words they used on that sexual harassment video they made us all watch.”

“You’re accusing me of stealing my lines?”

She laughed.

“If you’re not going to play nice, get out of my office.”

She gave him a big kiss and opened the door.

“Thank you for believing in me,” she said.

“Thank you for believing in me too.”

She knew he wasn’t talking about work. He was talking about trusting him not to get attached. So far, he was living up to his end of the bargain. Maybe she could have her cake and eat it too.

It was Friday and she had gotten a promotion.

Life was good.
