caught his eye. Picking it up, he glanced through the contents, his hangover quickly forgotten.
    The folder was filled with Abby Branson’s notes and ideas for reworking the Blake Foods diet desserts line. When his driver took her home the night before, she must have forgotten it. Her ideas were good. Very good. What had she said the night before? Oh yes.
    “Amazing, even.”
    Just like her.
    Pulling his phone out of his suit pocket, he pressed the shortcut key to call Martha’s direct line.
    “This is Martha.”
    “I need you to schedule a meeting with the diet desserts project team.”
    “Good morning to you, too,” Martha responded.
    “I’m not in the mood for pleasantries.”
    “Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Or maybe just alone in bed. I take it your dinner with Abby Branson didn’t go so well. Is this where I should say I told you so?”
    “For once, will you just do as I ask without all the commentary?”
    “What’s the fun in that?”
    If Martha wasn’t the best executive assistant that money could buy, he might consider reprimanding her. Instead, he chose to ignore her cheeky remark. “Also, I need you to schedule a one-on-one with Abby Branson prior to the team meeting.”
    With his last directive, Stephen hung up the phone.

    A bby glanced nervously at the clock on her computer. It was almost time for her meeting with Stephen and the anticipation was killing her. She wondered why he asked to meet with her so early – and in private. Maybe he wanted to apologize for passing out on her couch or set some ground rules about their relationship, like how they should act in front of the other staff. Or maybe he wanted to kiss her again...
    Although last night hadn’t ended the way she would have preferred, knowing that Stephen was attracted to her made her so giddy that she couldn’t sleep. Granted, he was pretty drunk when he showed up at her place with food and an amazing apology. But he had revealed a sweet, sensitive, and very sexy side of himself, a side that made him seem more like the man of her dreams.
    Who knew that underneath that smooth, polished, and very handsome exterior was a man who was passionate about her curves?
    While she was looking for his phone in his jacket pocket, she accidently elbowed him in the stomach with an “Omph!”. He had stirred just enough to grope her in all the right places, and it was pretty clear that he was trying to pick up where they had left off. But Abby could tell that his performance would be compromised, which wouldn’t have been good for either of them. To her regret, she ended up calling his driver to help him home.
    Still, the memory of last night made her smile. Ever since the meeting request appeared in her email inbox that morning, she had been looking forward to this meeting and was glad that she had unknowingly dressed up for the occasion.
    Her navy blue faux wrap dress was simple, but sexy, and used small details to conceal her trouble spots. The Lois Carlyle special selection gathered attractively around Abby’s full breasts and nipped in her waist, effectively creating the illusion of an hourglass figure. The color of the dress was the perfect complement to the pink undertones of Abby’s creamy skin. Instead of pulling her hair into a businesslike bun, she had purposely left her blonde waves down, just the way Stephen seemed to like it.
    The meeting reminder popped up on her computer screen, signaling that it was time to head upstairs to his penthouse office. After applying a fresh coat of lip gloss to ensure that her lips were pink, plump and kissable, she strode confidently from her office and toward the elevator bay.
    The top floor of the Blake Foods building had a full-time security guard and reception desk. Nobody got through to Mr. Blake without an appointment. Luckily, Abby had one so she was quickly ushered past the gatekeepers to Martha’s desk, where she was greeted warmly by the older woman.
    “Abby! How
