She was pissed and he deserved to know that. She didn’t return Jena’s call either. She wasn’t entirely sure that she wanted to work on that particular project yet. The way she figured it, that one order wasn’t going to make or break her $10,000 goal. She could afford to take a pass if she didn’t want to work any closer to Jena than she had to. Unfortunately Xander had other plans. He kept emailing her ideas for her proposal to secure the order, including forwarded emails right from Jena’s email account. She didn’t respond to either. She half-expected Xander to show up on her doorstep that Monday, like he always did, coffee in hand and something up his sleeve to get her even more out of her comfort zone. But Monday came and went without much contact, which unsettled her more than she cared to admit. Worse, Monday was the first day that she didn’t get a text counting down the day to their weekend. She was nervous as she drove Kari to the restaurant that afternoon, figuring she would run into him, thinking maybe he had opted to work Monday to free up his schedule for the weekend.
