Huntington figured she was about to be sick. At least she decided to believe the flutter in her stomach was the result of nausea rather than butterflies. This was the man with whom she would have dinner that night. This unbelievably gorgeous guy held her professional—and mental—fate in his hands. Maybe she could get out of it. No, she couldn’t, considering he was the man who was finally going to seal this deal and get her on another project. She was going to go, and she was going to be professional, and most importantly, she was not going to stare. Staring at him would certainly indicate an interest that wasn’t there. Okay, so maybe there was an interest there. But that was natural, right? It wasn’t like she was going to act on it. She couldn’t after the lesson life had taught her.
Gina warned soberly. “I’ve known Kevin for a long time. I have never seen him not get something he wanted especially in the area of females. Still, he’s just as serious about his work as you are about yours. To Kevin, one doesn’t necessarily rule out the other. Mixing business with pleasure is an art form with the man.”

Surely, he wouldn’t try to…” She paused searching for a good way to phrase it then added, “get involved with me while the deal is still on the table.” Huntington halted altogether. “What am I saying? This is the genius who just dumped a Senior Inspector.”
“You’re too hung up on this Nicky thing,” Gina told her.
“Which reminds me,” Hunny narrowed her eyes at Gina. “When you’re at the banquet tonight, remember to talk about Nicky as much as possible. Carter shouldn’t acknowledge the rumors or even the relationship in public. He should be debonair and cavalier whenever asked anything about it. However, you have free reign to say anything you want about the situation and the woman. Be as catty as you want to be, but be subtle. Drop hints if you have to. Did I just say that?”
“Don’t worry,” Gina soothed, “Your ethics are still intact. You’re just doing your job. Besides, it won’t require me to say much. Anyone who knows Nicky knows she’s…”
