a good time. Look around you. The place is swarming with hot guys. If you’re going to hang out with me tonight you have to pick up the pace so let’s go.” Linda said as she handed Isabel her glass. “Now follow my lead.”
    She watched as Linda licked her wrist, sprinkled some salt, threw her head back taking the shot and bit into a lime. “Well, here goes nothing.” Isabel shrugged and mimicked Linda’s lead. She squinted her eyes and sucked in her cheeks from the sour taste of the lime causing Linda to burst into laughter.
    “That’s more like it rookie. A few more of these and you’ll be pulling me to the dance floor.” She laughs and orders another round. “Speaking of hot guys, there goes our boss.” Linda said as she bumped her shoulder to Isabel. She noticed Isabel tense and instantly turn towards the door. Linda was right. Their little Isabel had developed a crush on Luke.
    Luke hadn’t spotted them yet. Isabel tried not to stare but she couldn’t help herself. Especially since she was excited he was there. She hadn’t expected Luke to show up to the same bar his staff was always occupying during weekends. She took quick glimpses from the corner of her eye and noticed the way his arm was wrapped around the tall leggy blonde he’d walked in with. She wore a skin tight black mini skirt with a white tank top revealing her voluptuous breasts. A few, including Matt approached Luke to greet him. The blonde had a smug look on her face knowing many recognized the man she had walked in with. Isabel’s heart fluttered as she caught Luke’s surprised look when he saw her. She flashed him a quick smile and turned her attention back to Linda. She couldn’t help but feel a tang disappointed. She didn’t want to feel jealous but couldn’t help it. It was for these exact inappropriate reasons she had to overcome her attraction towards him because he could never be hers.
    “Why am I not surprised? ” Linda shook her head. “That whore finally got her paws on Luke.” She looked at the blonde with disgust.
    “You know her?”
    “That’s Stacey.” Linda said in a sickened voice. “She used to work at B. Pentagon in the mailing room. Making occasional bullshit excuses coming to the top floor, just to flirt with Luke. Rumor has it, she quit the second she figured Luke wasn’t going to sleep with one of his own employees. Can you believe her?” Linda said with a disgusted laugh. “People kill to get into that company and she quit to bone the V.P.”
    “You really don’t like her huh?” Isabel noticed Linda’s instant change of mood.
    “No I don’t. She got me in trouble with Luke’s father , our CEO. He had specifically ordered some editorial prints from me saying it was urgent. I worked on it all night and the next morning. Handed it to her when she came collecting the mail, I made it crystal clear it was vital and needed to be sent out certified. Leave it to that brainless bimbo to misplace the file. I had another rough draft copy but by the time I realized Mr. Brady Senior hadn’t received it, it was too late. We lost the potential client and I was called into Luke’s office having to explain myself. I always wondered if it was intentional on her part or if she really is as that careless.” Linda sighed. “Any ways we’re here to have some fun not talk about that little whit.” Linda immediately changed her mood and placed her bright smile back on. She liked Isabel and didn’t want to bore her with a sob story and had promised her an entertaining night. And when Linda promised, she delivered. “Let’s get drunk and dance.” She wiggled her hips.
    Luke hadn’t expected to see her there. He’d become completely oblivious to the woman next to him as he watched Linda hand Isabel a shot and nudge her to drink. She lo oked good he noticed. Really good. The way that dress hugged her body was causing a reaction below the belt he didn’t want to acknowledge. And he was right; she definitely
