sorry, Katy, I didn’t know. I’m also a widower,” he
said with a grimace. “Well, I think your business will definitely be a success
if all your work is as good as what you have shown me here today. Since you
don’t officially have an actual business yet I guess we need to find Shane and
Chloe and work out some details. Then you can get back to your friends. There
will be plenty of time for us to make arrangements for you to come back to
Dallas when we are ready to start ordering things.”
Katy’s breath suddenly caught in her throat. She had not
even thought of what would take place if they liked her work. She would be
coming back to Dallas and working with Ryan. Her heart jumped at the idea. She
would be seeing him again.
Ryan patted her hand and smiled. The gold flecks in his eyes
were jumping out at her. Katy thought she would die on the spot. How can a
simple touch from this man make me feel as if my insides are on fire ? He
was going to be one dangerous man to be around. That was for sure. She would
really have to watch her step when she was around him. Better not let him
see how he gets to me.
He looked into her eyes and smiled that special smile of his
again and said, “I have the feeling that working with you is going to be one
hell of an experience, little lady.”
Katy smiled back. I am sure you’re right , she
thought.
This was the scene the other three walked in on. Shane and
Chloe looked at each other in disbelief. Surely Ryan was not flirting with
their new designer.
Lizzie watched her friend closely. She seems to be very
much at ease with this man . If Katy was nervous, it did not show outwardly. Is she falling for his playboy ways, or is he being genuine in his
obvious attraction to her ? Surely he wouldn’t play with her emotions
if they were to work together. Or would he?
“Ryan, take a look at these ads Lizzie created while we look
over Katy’s designs. We probably need to schedule another meeting to work out
the details. It’s getting late.” Shane reminded his brother. “We were very
satisfied with Liz’s work, by the way.”
Ryan came back to reality and told the couple that Katy’s
designs were right on target for what they wanted. He began talking with Lizzie
about the ads and he too was impressed with them. Shane and Chloe liked Katy’s
work as well. Chloe could not believe her good fortune in finding Lizzie and
Katy right here in her own restaurant. Her little joke about fate might not
have been too far off track.
“I’ll stop by tomorrow, after I speak with my husband, to schedule
a meeting between the three of you and the two of us,” Lizzie said as she
gathered her materials, silently wondering how Rex was going to react to this
new development.
“That sounds good. And, Katy, we need to decide how to
handle your contract, since your business isn’t up and running yet,” Ryan
added. “If you’d like, I can give you some pointers on how to get set up.”
“I will give it some thought and stop by tomorrow with
Lizzie, then, if that’s all right.”
“It’s more than all right,” Ryan said under his breath.
“What was that, bro?” asked Shane with a quizzical look at
his older brother.
“I said that will be fine.” Ryan cleared his throat and
shook hands with both Lizzie and Katy, holding Katy’s just a bit longer.
“Welcome aboard, ladies.”
And as Lizzie and Katy exited the restaurant, Ryan was
shaking his head. I may have just met the woman who will be the
undoing of Ryan O’Grady.
CHAPTER 10
When the two friends returned to the suite, they were so
excited that it was hard for Mari and Angie to get them to stop both talking at
once. When they had finally calmed down, they shared their wonderful news with
the other two, who were visibly elated for them.
“I told you they would love your ideas,” Angie said with a
knowing look, proud of Katy and Lizzie for their determination and hard work.
“And to think I helped this little
