even an issue.”
    “So…
we’re in agreement?”
    “I have no
clue,” I say sincerely, only because I really have no idea what
he’s getting at. “But if what you’re trying to say
is that what we had was amazing, but that it is over and done with,
then I’m in full agreement.”
    Matt stands up.
“Then we can put that in the past and never think about it
again?”
    “It’s
already gone from my mind,” I say with resolve.
    “Good,”
Matt says emphatically, although his face still carries a touch of
worry.
    Or is that regret?
    I don’t want
there to be any animosity between my boss and me, and while yeah…
I’m still going to continue to think about that amazing night
because—BEST SEX EVER—it was never meant to be anything
more than a one-night stand, and our time has indeed passed.
    “Thanks for
the apology, Matt, and I’m really looking forward to working
for you.”
    He gives me a smile,
and his two dimples pop out. “Yeah, me too.”
    When he walks out
and the door closes behind him, I let my forehead thunk down
on my desk and groan.
    It’s so weird
that I know what my boss looks like naked.

“Personally, I
suggest you keep your lips sealed and let me do the talking,”
Lorraine growls at me as we walk toward Matt’s office. She
still hasn’t forgiven me for asking about my missed paychecks,
convinced I’m trying to sabotage her.
    Perhaps the greatest
thing about this new employment with Connover and Crown is that
Lorraine is no longer the boss of me. I mean… sure, she has
supervisory authority over me on some of the cases, but Matt is my
boss, and she can no longer threaten to fire me every other day. It
makes me want to just stop in my tracks, put my thumbs in my ears,
stick my tongue out while waggling my fingers at her, and say,
“Neener, neener, neener”.
    Childish, I know,
which is why that particular fantasy will just reside in my head.
Along with all my hot fantasies of my night with my boss, Number 134.
    Matt quickly waves
us into his office and motions us over to a large worktable that
takes up one corner of his office. We take a seat and wait for him to
finish his phone call. I busy myself flipping through a few files but
when I take a peek up every now and then, I catch Lorraine staring
hungrily at Matt.
    I wish I could tell
her about my night with him and mock her with my “neener,
neener, neener” move. That would knock that lustful gaze right
off her face.
    Oh well.
    When Matt hangs up
and stands up from his desk, Lorraine’s head snaps down to a
file in front of her, and she hastily opens it up. I mentally roll my
eyes over her pathetic attempt to cover up the fact she was checking
him out. Matt seems oblivious though, as he walks over and takes a
seat between the two of us.
    “Okay, so I
want to go through your entire case list, figure out if you’re
comfortable handling them on your own, or if you need help, and sort
of set a review schedule so I can stay in the loop with things.”
    I nod at Matt in
understanding, but Lorraine just can’t help herself. She does
that little maneuver where she reaches out to touch his arm and says,
“I have a good handle on my cases, Matt. I don’t think
you need to waste your time with them. I mean… I’ve been
practicing for twelve years now.”
    Nope… I can’t
help the smug satisfaction I get when he pulls his arm away from her
touch.
    I could have told
her that Matt is definitely all business when he’s inside this
building. It’s equally as satisfying when Lorraine’s face
goes red when he says, “I appreciate that, Lorraine, but I have
my fingers in all the cases in this firm. I like to know what’s
going on and ensure the cases are being worked well. And while you’ll
be reporting to Bill, I want to use today for me to get familiar with
what you have.”
    With that, Matt
starts having Lorraine go through each case where she gives him a
summary, he gives a few recommendations if necessary, and they move
on to the
