Essence of Desire
“Parker, but Ms. Kincaid isn’t quite ready to see you yet,” Michelle’s perky secretary said smiling.
Royce glanced at his watch. He had been waiting thirty minutes already. Since he hadn’t seen anyone go in or out of Michelle’s office he could only assume she was deliberately making him wait. And he would. Two could play her game.
Michelle’s secretary glanced at the clock on the wall and then at Michelle’s closed office door. “It’s my lunch time and I need to slip out for a moment. Ms. Kincaid knows you’re here and should be out in a little while. She must be tied up with something important.”
Royce only smiled, knowing that was not the case and also knowing her secretary leaving for lunch was a good idea. “No problem, go ahead and take your lunch. I’m fine. I’ll just wait until your boss is free to see me.”
“Thank you.” The young woman then grabbed her purse out the desk drawer and quickly walked out the door, putting the “Out to Lunch” sign in place before leaving.
