Page 10 of Fierce-Hyde

“I do,” Raina said. “But I know you’re worked up and that isn’t like you at all, so this guy is getting under your skin.”

“Yeah. And if that wasn’t bad enough, I don’t know how he knows my name. I even asked him, but he didn’t answer. Then he got on the elevator and went up. Which means he’s in Fierce Engineering right now.”

“That’s why you’re calling,” Raina said. “Start describing him to me. I’m going to walk around and see if I can figure out who it is.”

“Dark hair,” she said. “Bright blue eyes. I mean so clear you might think it’s this beautiful lake you can see your reflection in.”

“Geez, Tori, why don’t you give me a better description?”

“Don’t be cute. His eyes stand out more than anything. He’s gorgeous which he probably knows and that is why he acts like a dick.”

“You don’t swear very often,” Raina said.

“I don’t, which should tell youheworks me up.”

“You don’t say,” Raina said sarcastically. “What’s he wearing? I just went by the conference rooms on my floor andthey were all open with no one in them. I’m going to do a sweep of the third floor and check out there.”

“A silver oxford shirt with navy stripes in it. He had nice jeans on and brown sneaker-type shoes.”

“You got a really good look at him,” Raina said, laughing.

There was silence for about ten seconds. “Are you still there, Raina?”

“Yeah,” Raina said. “I pretty much ran back to my office. I know who you’re talking about.”

“Who?” she asked. “You didn’t make it to the third floor. Not in that short of time.”

“I didn’t need to,” Raina said. “I walked by an office and saw him.”

“Who is it?” she asked urgently. “Do you know? I mean can you find out if it’s a client?”

“It’s not a client,” Raina said. “It’s a new engineer here.”

She groaned. “You’re kidding me? He’s in this building. I don’t understand how he got my name unless he saw me another time and asked someone else?”

“I’m sure he asked Ryder,” Raina said softly.

It was the tone of voice. “And why is that?”

“It’s Hyde.”

“Hyde,” she said. “The new engineer that was hired a couple of months ago. The guy that was best friends with Ryder in high school and they went to college together?”

She’d heard Hyde was a lot like Ryder back then.

Bryon was right.

Hyde was a fuckboy.

Grrrr.

This just made things worse.

Or maybe not.

She had no relationship with the guy.

Though it would make it hard since she wasn’t going to give up seeing her best friend two floors above her.
