Tender Touch
““Mike is on a short leash, Tavis. Stop worrying. I’ve known him for a long time. Is that why you came down here?” His voice held a note of amusement.
“I could have saved you a trip.”
Tavis tugged at the designer silk tie he wore, even though it hung perfectly. He sat in one of the leather chairs facing Lang’s desk. “Mike is a master schemer, Bill. I don’t trust the man one bit.”
“He can’t do anything without us knowing, now can he? I have the authority, so my signature has to go on any changes ...in our plans. Mike’s okay—just likes to hedge his bets for maximum benefit.” Lang was the picture of ease, sitting back against the soft dark green leather captain’s chair.
“Yeah, maximum benefit for himself.”
“I’ve known Mike a long time, Tavis. He’s not what I’d call a bosom buddy, but we’re worked together on at least six major projects in the department. We understand each other. Besides, if push comes to shove, he’s got as much to lose as I do.”MoreLess
