Gabrielle wanted to blurt that she didn’t have time to chit-chat Her job was on the line here, and she was close to being rude to this very distracting – and very good looking – co-worker

“I work for Mr Bronson,” she finally said reluctantly, and his eyes widened

“Ah The new PA,” he said, with a nod of understanding and ured it out yet, but he has a special filing systeure out the pattern, but I’ll explain it to you so it’s easier”

He took the folders from her before she could protest, and Gabrielle took a split second to notice he wore a watch just like Adauy was probably rich Whatever She was getting frantic now and could do nothing but scurry after him as he walked purposely ahead

“I’m Scott,” he threw over his shoulder “And you are?”

“Gabrielle I really don’t want to be a bother…”

“No bother,” he said, and went straight into the copy rooht folders, while pointing it all out to Gabrielle Each file had numbers at the top, and the ones with even numbers went into folder A, while the odd-numbered files went into folder B The numbers that ended in zero were sent into folder C The D files were the ones that had asterisks at the top Picking it up fast, Gabrielle set the file with number 100 into the C folder It was the last one, and she heaved a big sigh of relief to see it all took just minutes

She looked up at Scott with a grateful sreat help Thanks”

He broke into an answering grin, which made Gabrielle note how fine he was Not that she had tiht’s episode with Adam, she didn’t really trust her instincts or her horht Scott looked hot, it didn’t really do anything for her, not the way Ada just with his presence

A presence he soon bestowed the the last of the faxes, with Scott standing by ot them done properly He could probably tell she was new at this, but she was good with s She liked Scott’s friendliness and really thought nothing of it, so she was shocked when Adalare as he took in the scene

“Well, this is cozy,” he said frohtly as if she’d been caught doing so The look on Adam’s face sent chills down her back

“You were taking so long I ran out of patience, thinking you were lost I didn’t expect to find you flirting,” Adam stated in a caustic tone Gabrielle opened herto her coht bearound”

“The copy litch and since it was er than expected, causing the undue delay,” said Scott, lying smoothly in what Gabrielle kneas her defense She’d rather have just told Ada Even though Adam looked less than impressed

“If you’re done wasting ti your tasks,” he said to Gabrielle “You really need to pick up the pace – that is if you’re serious about keeping your job here”

He spun round and stalked off without another word, again not giving Gabrielle a chance to even speak She glanced at Scott, who gave a sement and perplexity “Looks like Adam’s a lot harder on you than he normally is But hey, don’t take it to heart”

Gabrielle just sighed, then cocked her head to the side “You guys are on a first name basis?”

“What? No,” Scott joked “Well, only when he’s out of earshot But then I could possibly get aith anything, since I’m virtually indispensable around here”

“Modesty isn’t your strong point, is it?” Gabrielle said while shaking her head with a smile

“So I’ve been told” They’d been walking to the section where the filing cabinets were Once there, he turned to her with that sa, then seee his mind

Instead, he gave her a char wink and left her there with a s back A sined hi her with that silly smile thanks to Scott
