Some Like It Ruthless (A Temporary Engagement) - Plot & Excerpts
She turned off her cell, holed herself up in her office. She’d forgotten how it felt to be unreachable, how freeing it was.The offices were deserted Sunday evening and she wandered around, seeing what reality was, remembering Caldwell’s glory days. Saw utilitarian industrial carpet, remembered cool marble. Saw walls painted a stark gray, remembered great art and rich foliage. This was bootstraps, this was survival. No room for luxuries. No room for a sore heart, no room for petty pride.Maggie remembered when her office was right next to her father’s, remembered how Ginny had always worked downstairs.Not an owner, an employee.The company had always been Maggie’s future, always been Maggie’s inheritance, because she’d chosen it, because it called to her.She would do anything to save it. Even do it all alone.When Maggie finally left for the night, she found Cole parked behind her car, sitting in his truck, talking on his cell. He saw her and pushed his door open, shoved his phone into his pocket.He stayed behind the open door, using it as cover.
