involved her mouth and his cock…
Six o’clock dawned bright and early, and she found herself immersed in work until
the lunch hour. When she entered the small cafeteria downstairs, she bumped into Eddie
the asshole. Remembering what he’d said about her on Friday, she smiled.Frigid bitch,
hmm? Tell that to Gage.
Eddie stammered. “Hi, Hailey. Would you like to share a table?”
She shook her head. “Sorry, Eddie. I’m sitting with Amy and Beth. We frigid bitches
have to stick together. Maybe some other time.”
Hailey reached her friends and saw them looking past her at Eddie.
“What did you say to him?” Amy asked. “He’s still standing there staring after you
in shock.”
“Nothing.” Hailey took a few bites of her salad and smiled. “He’s probably surprised
I called him on being a complete asshole for insulting me the other day. Though I guess
he didn’t really know I was there.”
“Well, you aren’t known for friendliness around the men who work here,” Beth
commented. “Not that I blame you,” she said hastily at Hailey’s questioning look. “But
not all of them are out to seduce you, you know.”
“Trust me. I know. I’m just in the habit of letting people know I don’t screw
around.” She frowned. “Maybe I’ve taken it too far?”
“Maybe,” Amy said, shrugging. “But who cares? Want to hear some real dirt?
Anthony Fletcher is going to propose to Meredith later today. Here at work.”
Glad to hear some good news, and for the change of subject, Hailey and Beth
peppered Amy with questions, and lunch passed by in a blur. While Hailey worked the
rest of the day, she wondered why she hadn’t confided in her friends about Gage. Only
Sydney knew she’d gone to dinner with him. And even that knowledge bothered Hailey
on a strange level.

Perhaps she didn’t want to share him, she thought, though he wasn’t exactly an item
she could keep a secret indefinitely. There was no way in hell she wanted to see him
