something to Lexi, and Tessa guessed that Lexi would tell him off and be fired on the spot. Of course, she would love to be the fly on the wall when Lexi did lay in on him. If anything, it would be entertaining.
    “When would you be available to start?”
    “I could start today as long as you don’t mind me taking a little bit longer lunch. Prior commitment with my sister Willa that I can’t get out of. Wouldn’t be the first time I left her sitting in a restaurant waiting for me, but when we spoke this morning, she warned me it was going to be my last.” Lexi laughed.
    Wow. She is high energy and not on the quiet side. I only hope she can shut up long enough to actually process something. There was only one way to find out. Give her a chance. Tessa didn’t like to judge a book by its cover. She only hoped she didn’t regret what she was about to say. “Okay then. Consider yourself hired on a temporary basis. If all works out maybe, and I stress maybe, there will be a full-time permanent position for you.” Tessa wanted to dangle a carrot in front of her. She didn’t have time to continue training new people to do the job and she couldn’t continue trying to do it all herself either.
    “That sounds like a plan I can handle. I never seem to be at one place too long. Not that I have an issue with commitment or anything, but I guess I get bored easily. You know, sitting looking at a computer all day, not talking to anyone. I mean really, I would need to triple my caffeine intake just to make it to noon.”
    Any more caffeine and you probably won’t ever be able to sit still. Tessa decided not to show her the coffee station as she showed her around the building.
    “I suggest sticking to our floor as much as possible. The executives prefer their privacy on the top floor and get a bit testy if disturbed.” Or should I say the one and only one left does.
    “Bet they’re crotchety old guys too. Don’t worry, I will stay as far away as I can. I can’t stand being around dry and boring people anyway. Life is too short.”
    Tessa had to agree, but the one in charge was anything but old and boring. Hot and sexy would be a better description. She still hadn’t been able to shake off the kiss from the other day. How could a man so damn strong and powerful kiss her so gently that she felt the tingling all the way to her toes? Whatever it is, I can’t let it happen again. If I do, I’m not sure I will be able to stop.
    She felt herself blush slightly. Tessa was a grown woman, trying to show Lexi around, and here she was getting all hot and bothered thinking of the boss. How was it that the one in charge of HR was the one who should be written up for improper behavior with her superior?
    Once they were back in the HR department, she set Lexi up at the same desk she had Zoey use the day before. The one difference was Lexi pulled out her iPhone and put on her earphones. Thankfully there wasn’t anyone else in the department to hear her singing along with the music.
    Tessa shook her head and went back to her office where she hoped to accomplish something before the day was done.
    That wish vanished as the phone rang. And my day just keeps getting better.
    “Tessa, I need to see you in my office now,” Dean demanded. She had been avoiding him ever since their lunch date. After his phone call with Dax yesterday he knew he had to loop her back in and get a feel for what was going on. She had been too quiet. That couldn’t be a good sign. He wasn’t sure what he was going to use as the excuse to get her in front of him, but he would figure it out when he saw her. Tessa was very talented at her little game of loyalty to Poly-Shyn. He was going to make her regret the day she decided to team up with Dax. You picked the wrong person, Tessa. I don’t fall for anyone, under any circumstances.
    Dean understood how a man like Dax Marshall thought; it wasn’t much different from him. There was no doubt in his mind Dax was going
