Silent Treatment (2011)
“He was a meticulous worker and never left for the evening without tying up as many loose ends as possible. He buzzed his secretary and turned on a mental stopwatch. In six seconds she was in his office.
“Yes, Mr. Loomis?”
Brenda was fabulous—smart, organized, loyal, and an absolute knockout. She was a legacy to him from Burt Dreiser, now the president and CEO of the company. Kevin suspected she and Dreiser had something going outside the office. But it really didn’t matter. Dreiser had bumped h...im up to the corner office over a number of others who had more seniority and, in some cases, more qualifications than he did.
