We parted ways, and I was headed back to the office minutes later. Laura had a full schedule. I didn’t want to interrupt her routine. My afternoon was packed with conference calls and meetings. Grandfather attended in person. Mr. Giles spoke to him afterward. He could express his grievances if he needed to. I wasn’t interested in contributing to the conversation. I finished up an hour later. It was almost six o’clock when I headed to Laura’s office. She was still working, so I stood near the door not wanting to interrupt. It took a minute for her to glance in my direction.
My girlfriend was sassy sweet. I’ll please her any way she wanted later. “May I come in?”
Laura relaxed in her chair and crossed her legs. “Yes, please,” her voice was a tempting tease.
I closed the door and maintained a respectful distance, but her eyes swept over my tie and dress shirt. There was a spark in her eyes when she lowered them to my crotch.
I warned her, “Don’t be naughty.”
“I won’t,” she cooed. What can I do for you, Mr. Andrews?” her question sounded dirty.
Laura’s sultry gaze was a turn on too, but I didn’t react. “Cameron won’t be a problem from here on out.”
She sighed, “Are you sure?”
“Yes. I asked your father for a favor.”
She groaned, “Why?”
“It was necessary. He spoke to Winston Crane on my behalf. Cameron was promoted this afternoon.”
The shocked expression on Laura’s face was damn cute. I smiled and explained what happened at the sports bar. “Cameron wanted to thank you.”
“It wasn’t my doing,” she relaxed in her chair. “He earned his promotion. I’m glad it worked out for him.”
“Thanks for trusting me,” I winked to see her blush. “Miss Reynolds, why are you still working?”
“It’s my normal routine. I’m getting back to it.”
“Understandable. Should I order dinner for you?” My question prompted her to blush more.
“No. I plan to leave in a few minutes.”
My eyes locked on hers and then lowered to her silk blouse. Laura was a beautiful distraction since I walked into her office, but I relaxed in a chair to give her my full attention. “How was your day?”
“Productive, but I was so worried,” Laura leaned forward to turn off her computer screen and her little bounce was for my pleasure.
“You don’t have to stress anymore and stop being a damn tease,” my response happened with a low growl when she stood up to gather her things. Laura moved gracefully around her office and shot a defiant look in my direction. She could work long hours if she wanted but not this evening.
“I’ll see you soon,” I left the chair and went to the door.
“Your place or mine?” her seductive question was a tease.
I glanced over my shoulder, “I’m not the CEO after hours. You can decide.”
“I want you at my place in thirty minutes.”
Laura’s sassy demand was a turn on, but I opened the door before my restraint faded.
“Oh, one more thing,” Laura walked around her desk and was inches away when she continued in a sultry whisper. “Keep on the suit. I like it.”
Laura walked past me and sashayed down the hall. I watched her leave because the view was too damn good to resist. Laura winked at me as the elevator doors closed. My girlfriend was naughtier than ever.
