I got the hint. "Is there something coming up? Do I need to travel?"
Ron nodded. "Yeah, you'll be out for a couple of days."
Great. I hadn't heard about any new projects, so this had to be a last-minute thing.

"Where to? What's the job?" I asked, needing the scoop
"Uh... we'll figure that out later," he said, looking all mysterious, which was not helpful at all.
I could tell he wasn't in the mood to share more, so I just nodded and got back to work. If this was coming from management, I'd better get all my stuff sorted and be ready for anything.
I didn't get a break until around ten-thirty, Grabbing my cup, I made a beeline for the break room. Just as I reached the door, I heard two girls inside gossiping over their tea..
"Mr. Hart just keeps getting hotter. Those cargo pants he's rocking today make his legs look like they go on forever."
"Are you serious? I think you're just totally obsessed with Mr. Hart. Weren't you crushing on Mr. Shane, like, last week?"
"Yeah, I thought Mr. Shane was decent, but now that Mt. Hart's here..." She let out a dramatic sigh. "Mr. Shane looks like a total knock-off next to him."
I had to stifle a laugh. These girls didn't hold back.
"From now on, Mr. Hart is my one and only! No one else stands a chance!" she declared just as I walked
1. in.
They turned and smiled at me. "Ms. Kay, tea or coffee?"
I held up my cup. "I've got it. Thanks."
I made myself a cup of coffee and joined them at the table. "So, you've got a thing for our chief engineer, huh?"
"Yeah, Mr. Hart is just so handsome, and I heard he used to be in the military," one of the girls said, totally comfortable chatting with me.
"He's definitely got the physique for it," I replied with a smirk, taking a sip of my coffee.
Hearing that, they practically lit up. "Ms. Kay, since you and Mr. Hart are both execs, can you find out if he's got a girlfriend?"
I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing
"Sure, I'll see what I can do," I said, playing along.
"Thank you!" The girl beamed,
1 took another sip of my coffee and then, feeling a bit mischievous, said, "I'm not sure if he has a girlfriend, but I think he might be living with a girl" +25 BONUS

"What?" Her face fell like a deflated balloon.
Satisfied with the little drama I'd caused, I got up to leave with my coffee. But she wasn't letting me off
I the hook that easily.
"Wait! How do you know? Did you see them together? Or did he tell you?"
Seeing her so determined, I decided to drop a bigger bombshell. "I... saw it."
Her face completely dropped, but she wasn't ready to give up just yet. "Have you seen his girlfriend? What does she look like? Is she super pretty?"
Man, Hayden sure had his own little fan club. But hey, he's mine, and I've got to put an end to this.
I gave her a small smile. "I haven't seen her."
She looked confused, so I raised my hand and pointed to my neck. "But this morning, I saw something on
him."
The girl froze, her mouth hanging open. I flashed her a grin and turned to leave.
Just as I reached the door, I heard her gasp, "A hickey?
I smirked to myself and strolled out of the break room, heading straight for Hayden's office. I knocked lightly on the door. "Come in!"
Hayden's voice carried through, and when I walked in, he was busy,typing away at his computer.
He glanced up and saw me. "Ms. Kay, have a seat."
Playing the part, huh? I liked it.
But I wasn't about to play along. Instead of sitting, I walked around his desk and stood behind him. Hayden hesitated, looking up at me, clearly wondering what I was up to.
I focused on his Adam's apple, leaned in, and gently bit down before giving it a teasing little suck.
