Playing With Fire (Sweet Redemption) - Plot & Excerpts
She was glad when he chose Sub Hub again since she didn’t have to compromise her diet. She was finally starting to relax around Eric a little, and she knew the more contact she had with him, the easier it would get to pretend she felt little more than what she usually felt for coworkers, so she silently planned to eat with him for about a week.They only had to work closely on their project in the beginning as they sorted everything out, but she knew he’d soon spend less and less time in her office and calling her on the phone, and they’d have major contact only when the next phase was reached or if they had to regroup. She felt a sudden sadness at the thought.Still, as much as she wanted to, she knew regular lunches with him would only be trouble, but she convinced herself she was doing them now to help them get to know each other and get familiar and comfortable in order to maximize their compatibility for working together and ultimately, their efficiency. It was all logical. She had blown Liz off for the second day in a row but Liz was understanding, and even sounded conspiratorial in the way she told her to take all the time she needed in getting to know her new coworker.
