It was then I noticed Tucker had a small bag in one hand. “I brought you a change of clothes. Your other bag is in my car.”
I kissed him then pointed over to the other side of the room to the large conference table and sofa. “You can either have a seat there or over here.”
He looked at the large leather seats at my desk and then over to the sofas. “I’ll pick the sofa.”
Tucker made his way over to the sofa, and I couldn’t help but watch him as he walked off. Damn, he had a nice ass. A really nice ass.
“Stop staring at my ass. It’s creepy.” He never even turned around to say that to me; he knew that’s where my eyes had strayed.
I chuckled. “You like it.”
“Maybe we could role play. You’re the boss, and I’m your hot assistant you take advantage of with your dominatrix ways.”
I quirked my brow. “You wish.”
He moaned. “Fuck yeah, I do. I’ll look up costumes on the internet while you finish up.”
Laughing, I took a seat in my chair and finished looking at the reports Marge had sent for my once-over and approval.
I SAT BACK on the sofa and watched as Charlie went over paperwork. She frowned, picked up the phone, and dialed a number. Glancing at my watch, I wondered if she knew how late in the day it was. No one would still be here.
“Philip? I need you in my office right now.”
My eyes widened in surprise, and I wasn’t sure if it was from her demanding tone or the fact that this Philip guy was still here.
Ten minutes later, there was a knock on her office door.
“Come in.” Charlie’s voice reminded me of the days when we exchanged jabs. There was a coldness in it that actually made me feel sorry for this Philip dude.
“Ms. Monroe, you’re here late.”
Her eyes narrowed, and I couldn’t help but smirk. The asshole sauntered over to her desk as if he expected something other than what was fixin’ to come out of my girl’s mouth.
“B and G shipping.”
It was all she said as she pointed to the chair and motioned for the guy to take a seat.
“Yes, I’m over that account.”
“You were tasked with helping to get them on a course of sustainability. You’ve recommended an organizational redesign.”
He nodded.
Charlie’s brows lifted. “Is that it?”
The guy shifted uncomfortably in his chair. “Well, no. They have some unclear responsibilities, other issues that are hampering the effectiveness and efficiency of the company, but I think we can get them running smoother with the redesign.”
“What about changes in management? How about changing up their cycles? Where are the diagnostic analysis that you’ve worked up?”
He let out a chuckle. “Ms. Monroe, I know my job. It’s why you pay me what you do. I’m sure you have a lot of accounts you have to look over, and I’m sure you are inundated by the learning curve required to get up to speed on all of the accounts.”
Oh hell. Dude did not just say that.
Charlie flashed this jerk a smile and stood. I could see the way he looked her body over and it made me fist up my hands. Smoothing her dress, Charlie walked around her desk, leaned on it next to this dick and folded her arms over her chest.
Jesus Christ, she looked fucking hot as hell towering over this dick.
“A learning curve?” she asked.
