plenty hot enough outside. It still blew Christina’s mind that it was the well
into October and it was still as hot as any New York summer day. The sun
was so intense overhead that Christina was starting to sweat under her
blouse. Or maybe that heat had nothing to do with the sun at all. Maybe that
heat was being thrown off by Taylor. Heat that Christina felt straight to her
core.
“I came because I have something that I need to tell you. I thought
you’d be pretty pissed when you heard it, but now I figure you’ll probably
be quite happy about it.”
Taylor eyed Christina skeptically. “I can only imagine what disastrous
news you came as bearer of.”
“My VP, as you know, would like the project done as soon as possible,
so she informed me today that she’s clearing my schedule. She assigned all
my meetings to my other co-workers so that I can be here full time.”
Taylor snorted. She assessed Christina coldly. “Let me guess? Dressed
like that you’re just here to look good and distract the guys, and not to be
helpful.”
Christina shouldn’t have, but she couldn’t help herself. She basically

Taylor reacted so quickly that Christina knew that her first instinct was
correct. It wasn’t just surprise there on her beautiful face. There was
something else. Something in her eyes. A spark of excitement. She blinked
fast though, and it was gone, but the look of surprise still lingered.
“Uh— me neither,” she muttered.
Christina nodded and that was it. In New York, there was such a variety
of all different kinds of people, that it didn’t matter how strange a person
