"Uh, I'll run along now, Mr. Huston, so you can take your call," Jennifer said brightly, disappointed to the core but damned if she would give the other girl the satisfaction of showing it. "I'll try to have some of my better students here for you to interview by the end of the week, and I certainly look forward to dropping by and monitoring their progress with you from time to time. Good day."

Jennifer shot the secretary a triumphant look as she said the part about dropping by. The tall blonde was careful to swing her hips in a way that was both ladylike and sensuous as she left the office and closed the door behind her.

CHAPTER TWO

Patrick Huston's anger toward Mary Kelly, his red-haired secretary, had all but vanished ten minutes later when he got off the phone with New York. Stevenson was the vice-president in charge of advertising for a big company, and Huston had him eating out of his hand when he clicked off the speaker phone and grinned at Mary.

"Hot damn, lady, this calls for a drink!" the handsome agency owner shouted gleefully, rubbing his hands together with excitement. "If I get Stevenson's soft drink outfit in our pocket in this town, I can kiss a lot of these chicken shit local accounts good-bye! We'll be rollin', baby, rollin'!"

Mary smiled warily at her boss. She finished with the notes on the conversation as it had gone on and put her pad and pencil down. She knew he was happy about the way the call had gone, but she didn't know how angry he still was.

Pat Huston smiled confidently and took off his suit coat. He loosened his tie and joined Mary on the couch. It amused him to think about what he was about to do, fucking Mary on the exact spot he would have fucked the other girl, the luscious blonde, if Mary hadn't interrupted them with the phone call.
