While rushing down the hallway, Lana fumbled with her notepad, praying for a fresh cup of coffee. She’d never been late for a meeting, but what had happened to her in the lobby still sent her internal clock spinning out of control, losing precious time. Opening the door, she stepped inside, taking a deep breath of relief.
“I’m sorry, Roger. The elevator took forever.” Lana quickly took her seat, giving her full attention to him.
“That’s fine, Lana. Our client is being gracious about your being late,” Roger said kindly, and then turned to the client. “I’d like you to meet Lana Anderson, our CEO. Lana, this is Brett Colton, our newest author.”
Lana turned to offer her hand, and gasped. The client proved to be none other than the mad kisser from the lobby! Her mouth dropped open, her cheeks flushing with heat.
Grinning, Brett reached out, and took her hand in his firm, warm grip.
“Pleased to meet you, Ms. Anderson.” He tilted his head slightly, and gave her a wicked grin. “I have the strangest sensation we’ve met somewhere before.”
Avoiding his gaze, Lana abruptly shut her mouth, speechless for once.
Pulling herself together, she attempted to tug her hand free. “I think I would remember meeting you, sir.” Her sarcasm flew over the heads of the staff’s, and Roger’s.
The coffee cup beside her suddenly shattered! Since it didn’t have any coffee in it, Lana quickly pulled her hand away. After he’d reluctantly released her, Lana focused on picking up the pieces to dispose of them. She then grabbed her notes, fighting to keep her thoughts on them as she ignored his wide grin.
Over the years, the people around the table became used to strange things happening, such as sudden electrical shortages, exploding cups, things falling off tables, and more. They’d stopped questioning why, accepting that it simply couldn’t be explained.
Seeing Roger glance over at Brett with a question in his eyes about her odd behavior, she ground her teeth. Brett shrugged, acting innocent.
Clearing his throat, Roger continued with the meeting, shooting inquiring glances at Lana.
Lana glared at Brett when he snickered, catching her studying him. He’s the most infuriating man I’ve ever met. What an egotistic creep! Steaming with anger, Lana avoided Brett’s gaze for the next thirty minutes until Roger closed the meeting.
