some coffee?”  Gertrude subtly tried to break the
tension, throwing a warning glance in Samantha’s direction.
    “Yes,
please Gertrude, in my office.”  He reached out to grip Samantha’s elbow and
steered her into the office.  The moment the door closed behind him, he threw
his laptop bag down, and pulled her around against him and closed his mouth
over hers, all in one movement. 
    He
groaned as her soft body leaned into his, and he pulled her closer.  His hands
stroked down her back, over her rounded bottom, as if reminding him of her
shape.  His mouth was pure heat on hers, and when his tongue pried her mouth
open, she allowed him in and the passion immediately flowed from the one into
the other.
    Her
hands were not idle either and she caressed his strong arms, his muscled chest
and back, her nails dug into his back when he pulled her even harder against
him, grinding his aroused shaft into her soft body. Suddenly he pushed her away
from him and glared at her.
    “No! 
You will not get away with it so easily! Where have you been the whole week,
and why did you ignore all my phone calls!”
    Her
eyes were still hazed over with their just shared passion, but she looked at
him with a wry smile on her lips.  Slowly shaking her head, she bent to pick up
her own laptop bag that fell out of her hand when he pulled her against him,
then walked towards the couch.
    “Tsk,
tsk, tsk … you are shouting again so early in the morning, Nicolas.  How about,
hi Samantha, how are you today, Samantha?”
    She
dared a quick glance in his direction and realized that he really was still
angry with her.
    “You
really don’t want to antagonize me just know, Samantha.”  He sighed and his
eyes singed her from top to bottom and back up again.  “Why is your hair up?  I
don’t like it.  Take it down.”
    Her
hand rose to the loose knot at the nape of her neck and she gaped at him.  “You
don’t like it?  Take it down?  Since when do you have the right to tell me how
to wear my hair!
    Before
he could answer Gertrude knocked briefly on the door and entered with the tray
of coffee and biscuits.
    “Mmmm
… Gertrude, that smells wonderful.  Thank you.”
    “Gertrude,
please arrange for an early meeting with all the Executives, no excuses please,
then senior managers, them Departments, and so on.  I’d like to introduce
Samantha properly into the business before the end of day.”
    “Oh,
this is going to be a very interesting day!  I can just imagine some of those
old coots’ reaction when you introduce her to them.”
    “Yes,
I can’t wait.  It will be interesting to see how she handles them.  It will
make for some interesting and fun days.”
    “And
how!  There is going to be big changes!  Don’t imagine there will be dull
moments around here ever again.  She has always been a real spitfire and
cheeky, even when she was young.”
    “I
daresay not much have changed then.  Do you think she will survive the first
week, though?”
    “Oh,
for sure.  If nothing else, she’s got spunk.  She’ll hang in there even if it
kills her!”
    Samantha
slammed her fist on the table and glared at them.
    “I’ll
thank the both of you to stop discussing me as if I am not even here!”
    “She’s
got spunk, all right…”
    “Nicolas
Forrester!”
    He
grinned, walked over to his desk and pulled his laptop from his bag and placed
it on the shiny glass surface of his desk.  Gertrude left and closed the door
behind her.  They watched her go before Nicolas turned back to Samantha.
    “I
thought it a good idea as part of the introduction we talk to the staff and
ensure them nothing is about to change. There are rumors that we intend taking
out the old, to bring in the new.”
    “Whatever
gave them that idea?”
    “I
suppose it is a natural reaction, however I believe Elaine had a hand in it. 
She resigned three weeks ago, just walked out … will you do the honors or shall
I?”
    She
frowned up at him, only then
