Sheri let out a high-pitched noise and shot up on her feet again She was crazy even picturing so like that Sure, she’d be Dean’s little fixation, till he got bored, like he did with all the other wo-door frequency Dean Cooper definitely had a high rate of turnover when it came to his lovers
Why the hell would she even think of putting herself through that?
If she had any sense, she’d be walking right out of there Just take the elevator down to the lobby and then exit the building, catch a cab, and go straight home And just say, screw this shit of a job!
But she didn’t do that of course Instead, she thought, pull yourself together, Sheri Dean is your boss An aggravating, devilized soul of a boss Damn you, Dean!
Feeling much better for some reason, she resumed with her preparations for the trip as she’d wasted too much time already
Working in the e tech corporation, she knew she alalked a fine line Act too friendly or pretty and get perceived as a slut or an airhead Seeet labeled as a bitch It was a no-win situation and she’d never have luory of the other males in the company But that was then
They’d always had a unique rapport, if not overly intimate but at least, a positive interplay Other feuys occasionally for drinks after work, but Sheri was never invited along She told herself again and again that it wasn’t because they didn’t like her, but that they perceived her as Dean’s team or property and they didn’t want to mess around with that
It didn’t help that Dean see to her even in issues to do with other e reason to find fault with her work The others, however, were constantly getting their heads bitten off for some minor nitpick or the other by their no-nonsense CEO
In record time, Sheri had the private jet, hotel reservations, and all necessary travel documents and corporate files ready They would only need to s and then they could leave
Luckily, she always had a wheelie case already packed for such times as these It took mere minutes to dash up to her apart, rejoining Dean in the backseat She tried not to blush thinking about the last tioodness the presence of the driver upfront was there to diffuse any tension in the atmosphere
That wasn’t to say anything had changed between theht then, which suited Sheri just fine Now, all she had to worry about would be the days ahead, stuck with hi the business trip
Chapter 4
A few ht the car to a stop on the tarlanced over at Sheri, who had her laptop open on her lap and was busy typing away He had to admit, she’d set therossed, he took the chance to study her openly
She was lovely in her pluh neck with a large bow tied primly, while her hair orn in a knot on top of her head All that was lasses, and she’d have that sexy librarian look down pat
He liked it, even though he could tell she’d deliberately reverted to her more staid outfits He scanned her naturally pretty face, her cute button nose, soft full lips, and sweetly curved cheekbones and chin She really had no clue, had she, how hot she appeared, no matter if she had a sack on?
“Kindly stop staring athis way as she shut her laptop He smirked darkly, just as she rounded on hi brown eyes
He leaned towards her remorselessly “Some women would actually feel flattered for the attention”
“Not me I’d be happier if you sied the words whilst bestowing a deferential so aboard, Mr Cooper?”
Dean hid his aht frown “There’s a bit , Miss Wilson Not sure which I take more exception to – the sass or the attitude”
He could see her lips slightly twitch Ah, an almost-smile It was the first he’d see of the kind in the past week Then, she sighed heavily “We could squander the day picking apart whatever objections youmy character But I’m sure you have more productive plans”
