“Yeah, sorry. I’m still a little jet-lagged.”
“Is that all it is?”
“Yes,” he snapped. “Are you going to get me caught up to date on the last week or grill me about my sex life?”
“Non-existent sex life,” Mark said. “Okay, okay,” he held up his hands again at the look on Luke’s face, “we’ll talk work.”

Jane stared at herself in the bathroom mirror. Her lips and cheeks were red, and her hair was mussed up from where Luke had gripped it. She smoothed it down, wincing a little when she touched the bump on the back of her head.
“Calm down,” she said. “Just calm down. You were not about to give your boss a blow job in his office.”
Bullshit.
“I wasn’t!” she said.
“Wasn’t what?”
She whirled around, staring wild-eyed at Amy as the woman entered the bathroom.
“Jane? What’s wrong?”
“Your brother is back.
“I know. I’m on my way to see him.”
“Mark is with him,” Jane said.
A grimace crossed Amy’s face. “I’ll go later. Tell me what’s wrong with you?”
“I…oh my God, Amy.”
“What?” Amy asked in bewilderment.
“I was in Luke’s office and dropped some papers under his desk. I crawled under his desk to get them, and he didn’t see me when he came in. He sat down at his desk and scared the crap out of me, and I hit my head on the desk. I was on my knees, and he was, uh, looking at my head to make sure I wasn’t bleeding. Mark came in, and it looked like I was – was…”
Amy stared at her expectantly.
“Like I was giving him a blowjob,” she finally whispered.
Amy burst into peals of laughter, and Jane scowled at her. “It isn’t funny!”
“It’s hilarious.” Amy laughed harder. “You just can’t see it because you’re too close to the situation.”
“Oh God,” Jane said. “Mark thinks I’m a whore.”
“Who cares what he thinks,” Amy said scornfully.
Like always, whenever the subject of the CFO came up, Amy was immediately tense and moody.
“Hey, Amy? Is there something going on with you and Mark?” Jane asked.
“Of course not,” Amy said. “Why would you think that?”
Jane shrugged. “I know the three of you grew up together, but you don’t seem to like him very much.”
Any’s cheeks reddened, and for a moment, it looked like she would cry.
