“You’re welcome.”
“Mr. Dawson is in his office if you want to – hi, Amy.”
The smile dropped from Mark’s face. He turned and gave Amy a stiff nod. “Hello, Amy.”
“Mark,” Amy said coolly.
There was an awkward silence that Jane hurried to fill. “Mr. Dawson is in his office, and the Board is scheduled to call in,” she checked her watch, “three minutes.”
Mark and Amy continued to stare at each other. Jane had an idea that they had completely forgotten she was there.
“Amy?” She said. “The meeting?”
“What?” Amy tore her gaze from Mark.
“The meeting with the Board,” Jane said. “It’s starting in a couple of minutes.”
“Right, of course.” Amy hesitated, and Mark made a small gesture toward Luke’s office.
“After you.”
“Thanks.”
She walked toward Luke’s office, and Mark’s gaze dropped to her ass. When he realized Jane was watching him, his cheeks turned red, and he hurried after Amy.

“Jane? Can you scan and email these documents to Kyla?” Luke asked.
Jane took the documents without looking at him. “Do you need me to pick up lunch for you?”
“No, I’m having lunch with Mark,” Luke said.
She turned to leave, and he frowned. “Jane, wait.”
“What is it, Mr. Dawson?” she asked without turning.
He moved around his desk to slip his arm around her waist. “What’s wrong?”
“Now isn’t the appropriate time to talk about it.”
He kissed the nape of her neck. He liked it when Jane wore her hair down, but there were benefits when she wore it up.
“Please don’t do that,” she said.
“Come to lunch with me,” he said.
“You’re having lunch with Mark.”
“He’ll understand if I bail.”
She made an angry little noise, and he turned her around, curving his arm around her waist again when she tried to step away. She gave him a furious look and pushed at his chest. “Let me go.”
“Come to lunch with me,” he repeated.
“I can’t.” She gave him a look of frustration. “I don’t want special treatment from you.”
“I can take my assistant for lunch, Jane. I had lunch with Elaine once or twice a month.”
