Her assistant gave her a message from Mr. Albertson about an invitation to a team-building retreat. Her manager RSVP’d for her to attend and Cindy sent her the details via email.
Laura would check her BlackBerry later. She continued making breakfast while getting office updates and then finally disconnected.
“She’s calling you on Sunday morning?” Jack looked shocked.
Laura shrugged. “Sometimes we work weekends to catch up. No big deal.”
“And I thought I worked hard.” Jack slipped two pieces of bread into the toaster.
“Were you never on call for a weekend?”
“Well, yeah.”
“See, no difference.” Laura dumped scrambled eggs into a hot skillet.
“So, why the long face?” Jack asked.
She shook her head. “It’s nothing, really.”
“You miss it,” Jack said.
She looked into his eyes. Big mistake. His gaze held understanding. “I’ve been home a week and I’m itching to get back.”
The toast popped up and Jack buttered it. “What do you like most about your job?”
It was a good place to hide. With sales, everything was superficial. Laura didn’t have to make people happy, just meet their business needs by offering a fair contract of service. Her job gave her confidence, a sense of importance. Like she counted for something. “It’s something I do well.”
“Better than making macaroni, I hope.” His blue eyes twinkled.
If he was trying to flirt with her, he might as well give up. “Wait till you try the eggs. Should I call your daughter?”
“She’s not much of a breakfast eater. If you don’t mind, I’ll let her sleep until after I shower.”
“Sounds like a plan.” Laura sat down and focused on her plate.
She grabbed a piece of bacon and bit into it. “Mmm. Gotta love grease.”
Jack’s head was bowed. He really did the whole prayer thing before meals. He looked up at her and smiled.
The strip of bacon hung between her lips. She pushed it in and mumbled, “Sorry.”
He waved her apology aside. “So tell me, what are business solutions?”
“Information system technology, network support, long-range planning, programming help, that sort of thing.” She wiped her greasy fingers on a napkin.
