The outraged secretary chased Connor McKay through the narrow corridor. “Ms. Carey is in conference.” The woman’s voice rose with indignation. “She is not to be disturbed under any circumstances!” Connor merely ignored her and proceeded along the hall until he came to a door bearing the nameplate of Courtney Carey. He stopped in front of it. “Sir, you cannot see Ms. Carey without an appointment,” the secretary snapped as he fastened his hand around the doorknob. She caught up to him and reached out her arm, as if to physically restrain him. Connor decided he admired her tenacious dedication to her boss’s schedule. It was a good quality for a staff member to have, and he’d keep it in mind should he ever acquire a staff to command. “You can’t go in there! ” the woman reiterated sternly. Connor flashed a grin. “Watch me.” He turned the knob, pushed open the door and stepped into the office.
