Mona rested her head against the padded wall and said
nothing. Rex eyed her for a second then moved about the small confine. He
loosened his tie.
“Anxious to be off the clock, are you?”
“I am,” he said flatly. Aimee’s insistent calls put Rex
on edge or else he would never have suggested avoiding the crowded lobby by
hopping on the freight elevator. “I do have a personal life, you know?”
“Right, I almost forgot about your paranoid
girlfriend.”
Rex glared at her.
“I noticed how often your cell phone buzzed,” Mona
explained.
Rex liked his job and the handsome salary. Mona was an
excellent employer, so he didn’t want any misunderstanding to jeopardize career
opportunities. “Aimee and I agreed to talk after the meeting and we ran a half
hour over. She just worries.”
“Worries?” Mona echoed.
“She gets upset if I don’t call.” He jammed his hands
in his pockets. “Aimee can be a little overbearing.” (Overbearing was a kind
way to describe her.)
“She’s been blowing up your phone for over an hour.”
“I’ve cancelled two of our planned events because I
had to work late.” he said defensively. Rex leaned back against the railing on
the opposite side. “Besides, she’s apprehensive about the undivided attention I
give to this job now that she knows about you and me.”
Mona’s gaze settled on him. “You told your girlfriend
about our one-night stand?” She huffed, “That was brave of you.”
The Elevator Ride - Part 3 will be posted Wednesday. Thanks for reading!
