I searched for the Colson file, but it wasn’t under Documents. Even after scouring Kate’s emails, I still couldn’t find it. I took a sip of lukewarm coffee before lifting my phone.
A knock at the door made me pause.
Whoever it was didn’t wait. They barged in.
Instantly irritating.
I looked up.
She was new.
The apprenticeship Kate had mentioned.
Cream camisole. White lace bra. Tight black skirt. Killer black heels.
Her blonde hair was twisted and pinned high like a golden crown of glory.
Professional. Sexy. Somehow both.
My eyes lingered too long on her breasts before I forced them away.
“Kate asked me to hand this in and remind you that the digital file is saved under the Greystone merger. Did you need a fresh coffee?” Her voice was soft. Lyrical.
It soothed something in me. Calmed the noise.
I took the file from her, but my cheeks were warm.
“And you are?”
“Iris Dalton, sir.”
Sir.
Innocent and filthy—all in one breath.
What was I thinking? She was as young as my son.
I winced at the thought.
“No coffee,” I said—curt, final—flipping open the file.
I was on the verge of a divorce, my son had no direction in life, and this merger had to go smoothly.
The last thing I needed was a sexual harassment case from someone half my age.
The door clicked shut.
I looked up.
She was gone.
I emailed Kate and asked for a copy of her job application.
No harm in finding out more about the new recruit.
