“Don’t you know by now we do everything overboard?”

She giggled. “I do.” She walked into the kitchen. “See, you could cook for days in here, Wyatt.”

“I see that.”

She walked to the living room. “And there are three TVs in here, so you two don’t have to fight over what to watch.”

Jason yanked the phone from his friend. “Too bad we can’t be there tonight.”

“I know.” She frowned. “But I checked in early for the conference and it looks amazing. I’m going to make sure by the time I leave here everyone knows how epic our launch is going to be.”

“That’s our girl,” Wyatt called over Jason’s shoulder. “We have complete confidence in you.”

She grinned. “I guess by tomorrow night I’ll be too tired to miss you. And then I’ll be home the next day.”

“And in your own bed.” Jason winked.

“With both of you?” she teased.

“Did you have other boyfriends in mind?”

She laughed, falling back onto the bed. She

loved them—her two boyfriends. It was perfect what they had.

Kayla held a cup of coffee as she walked into the first seminar of the day. The room was crowded. The only seats left were the ones in the front row. She walked down a long aisle, before finding a place front and center.

She smiled at the man next to her. He was texting someone and didn’t notice.

She wondered what Wyatt and Jason were doing at the office now. Vickie was probably getting their coffee ready and prepping the staff for a board meeting.

She had checked in with Austin before leaving the hotel this morning. He was running things for her while she was in New York.

The lights dimmed and Kayla focused on the speaker. She turned her phone to silent.

“Good morning and welcome to New York.” His voice was clear on the speakers.

The audience clapped lightly as if they were on a golf course.

“Global marketing is something I have been speaking about for over twenty years. And wow, has it changed,” he continued.

Kayla listened, but the more he spoke, the more her mind wandered. She tried to follow him as he walked back and forth across the audience. She tried to take mental notes of his assessment of the global climate on marketing. She zeroed in on the mouthpiece he used. She watched his multi-media presentation. But no matter what she did, her mind always traveled to the same place. It was unavoidable. She might be a global force in marketing, but she also knew she was a woman in love. All she could think about was Wyatt and Jason.

By the time the conference ended for the day Kayla wandered to the conference lobby.

“Hey, you going out for drinks tonight?” She recognized one of the girls from the working lunch session she attended.

“No. I think I’m going to order room service and watch a movie,” she answered.

“You should come with us. The theme party at the bar is the Love Boat.”

“Oh?” Kayla didn’t know how to say politely that she wasn’t interested in mandatory fun. It was a requirement she was glad didn’t exist at Miller-Wentmore Global. “I’m afraid I didn’t bring my cruise ship wardrobe.”

The girl laughed. “I don’t think we dress up, just the bartenders and wait staff. It will be fun. My parents loved that show.”

“Thanks, really. But I’m tired and it’s my last night in New York. I think I’m going to get some rest before I fly back after the conference tomorrow.”

The girl shrugged. “Ok. But if you change your mind I’ll be there.”
