... She simply ignored him, working with him as she had been forced to, but never more than that. Still, it was almost over. He hadn't managed to get close to her, but he had certainly got his revenge for that last night. He grinned even as his biceps screamed in protest. The delicate approach hadn't worked so perhaps he should turn up the heat a little. A seduction? ---------------------------------------- Denver - March 6, 1993 Alicia sighed. Yet another shipment of flowers. This time, it was Tiger-Lilies. If a man insisted on sending *her* boatloads of flowers a day, there was no way in hell that she would have them all taken to the Children's Hospital downtown. But apparently, the boss couldn't take the man's guts.. Adrienne zoomed through the outer room with her normal speed. Her voice floated back to Alicia from her office. "What is it today?" "Tiger-Lilies." "Really?" Adrienne's interested face popped around the door frame. "My God, he finally figured out my favorite flower.. Ok, hand them over.." The Lilies looked good sitting on the coffee table, she decided. Abruptly turning on her heel, she returned back to her drafting table to work on her newest design. Suddenly there were a couple of knocks on her open door. Adrienne looked up frowning. Alicia was grinning like a jackass at her. "Garett Rate to see you." Adrienne rolled her eyes. Wonderful... Garett appeared to lean casually against the frame. Good pose, thought Adrienne cynically. He gave her one of his million-dollar smiles that had absolutely no effect on her, of course. The weird flipping in her stomach was entirely due to her missed lunch. |
