Stephan glanced at the clock on his desk as he instructed the person to enter, even though he already knew that the only person it could be was Alicia. The disapproving glance she shot his way was enough for him to quickly rise to his feet to grab the tray of food from her hands before he placed it gently down on the table in the center of the room. Gripping her shoulders, he kissed her gently on each cheek, hoping to soften the reprimand that he knew was headed his way. “Stephan, the whole point of you not going to Greece was for you to take a vacation. You have been in this office every day. Now, you either talk to me, or I am going to call Sakis.” With a quick glance at the food, Stephan’s stomach growled as he tried to remember the last time he had eaten. Alicia laughed. “You can eat while you talk, young man.” He filled his plate. After several bites, he started to feel better than he had all day.
