Her buzzer sounded "Aet out of this place before I go insane Let’s head out for soetic voice through her speaker

"I’m on my way out Give me five minutes to finish this email for Mr Anderson and then I’m all yours"

Amy came out of her office and Tom threw his arm around her waist as they headed for the elevators The door ca doards her in ould seem like an intimate moment to an observer, which hat Lucas saw as he stepped through the open doors

"What’s going on here Aotten this is a place of business? I’one a feeeks and you think you can parade your boyfriends in and out of here? What if I’d been a customer?" The barely suppressed ire in his voice surprised A so his new boss couldn’t see He could instantly tell the boss was jealous Well, this is certainly interesting he thought to himself He decided to have a little bit of fun, "Hello Mr Anderson, Ms Harper and I were just stepping out on our lunch break We already set the phones and will be back in one hour" With that he pulled her into the elevator and they were gone

Before Lucas had ti hiry

He al her back up to the offices Only years of tightlywhere he was What he really wanted to do was pitch Tom out of aand haul Amy into his arms He’d avoided her as et over his infatuation but the way she looked at him didn’t help He could see it was a s for hi his for her

He sat there stewing the entire hour they were gone, not getting any work done He just paced fro impatiently

"You know you let hi our lunch hour

"I couldn’t resist He had such a sour expression on his face at seeing you locked in the arms of hting her attraction to Lucas from the moment she’d met him She kneanted her but she also kneas a really bad idea to get involved with her boss She wasn’t one of those women who slept her way to the top She wasn’t even close to being one of those corporate barracuda wo hard so that one day she could provide a stable ho a child into the world without first ive that child the best possible ho out on me you know I had no idea the boss was hot for your body," Tom continued

"He isn’t hot for my body," she said "He just likes to be in control of everything, including his e you who you can date as well," she said, starting to see some of the huetting over the attraction soon enough and she in no anted To and made her breath hitch each ti, I can already tell I’ over drae hilass Poorthat piece ofa shot"

Tom had successfully pulled her out of herto have to put up with Lucas’s bad ot back but for the reat lunch

They finished up and then walked back to the office,sure not to touch Amy felt no need to press her luck any further that day She didn’t want to lose her job because the boss thought she was the office floozy

Before she could even sit down she was getting buzzed into Lucas’s office "Ms Harper, can you please step in here? We have a lot of things to go over this afternoon and because of your extended lunch we’re behind," his voice snapped over the interco her peaceful day was officially over She gathered her laptop up and headed for the door that connected their offices She did gruh as she’d made sure she didn’t take an extended lunch and had in fact been back about ten minutes sooner than she needed to

Lucas didn’t look up as she walked into the room She silently crossed the floor and sat down on the opposite side of the desk from him They sat there for several an to squirm which ticked her off evenin the principal’s office because she’d been caught necking on campus?
