sleeping woman instantly.  “What happened?  Why don’t you have to work?” Laci asked, rubbing her eyes to clear them from the fog of sleep. 
     
    “My boss called and said that he’d received my resignation and that I didn’t need to fulfill my two weeks notice.”
     
    The confused expression on her sister’s face cleared and she smiled brightly.  “Well in that case, let’s get moving. ”  Throwing off the blanket Victoria had put over her legs the previous night, she stood up and bounced to the bathroom.  “ I don’t have classes until tomorrow.  I think you need a whole new wardrobe for your fantastic new job.”
     
    Victoria laughed.  “I don’t have the money for a new wardrobe, but maybe a few more nice suits.”
     
    “No way,” Laci said, popping her head back through the doorway of the bedroom.  She’d almost made it to the bathroom to shower when she’d heard her sister’s comment .  “You’re going to step out in style if I have to push you ye lling and screaming.  And jeans!   You’re going to buy a pair of jeans .   You don’t own any but I’m betting you’ll look fabulous in them.  With your legs, how can you not? ” she said, ignoring Victoria ’s skeptical look. 
     
    Laci rushed into the shower and was ready in record time.  She had some clothes in Victoria ’s apartment since she was there so often so she just pulled on a clean outfit and they were off for a day on the town .  They spent a leisurely morning sipping coffee, getting their nails done then spending the day at the mall.  Laci convinced Victoria to buy one pair of jeans and several more casual sweaters for site seeing in all the different places she would be traveling to over the next year.  Victoria also bought two new suits , one in a soft yellow and another in a creamy green that brought out the green in her eyes.  She liked the more feminine shades instead of her usual black and navy blue. 
     
    Victoria also called Margie and told her that she had been released from giving two weeks notice so she was free to start immediately. 
     
    “That’s great news,” Margie exclaimed.  “Can you come in for a travel briefing on Friday?  Mr. Attracelli will be going over the schedule for the next few months and briefing the team on the issues they’ll be researching in each city .”
     
    “I’ll be there,” Victoria replied.  They discussed the details and a few minutes later, Victoria smiled at Laci.  “Well, that’s that, I guess.”
     
    “You’ve just committed yourself to a whole year of world traveling,” Laci sighed.  “I’ll miss you but I’m very excited fo r you.  And with a gorgeous man like Tommy too!  Wow.  You really have it all now.   You need to get some sexy new clothes to wow that man. ”
     
    Victoria shook her head immediately.  “No way am I getting involved with Thomas Attracelli.  He’s my boss and that’s all.  There should never be anything between co-workers, much less a manager and a subordinate.”
     
    Laci deflated.  “Why do you always have to play by the books?  Just once, I’d like to see you do something daring and against the rules.” 
     
    “Rules are in place for a reason.  I like rules.  I like knowing what is expected.  It keeps me sane,” she laughed. 
     
     
    Chapter 5
     
    The next three months went by in a blur for Victoria .   The team traveled a lot and worked long hours.  There were times she wasn’t sure which city she was in.  She never complained though.  She loved the work and got to see some of the sights although it was usually in the early mornings on the way to the office or the night lights as she traveled from the office to their hotel. 
     
    The first two weeks, Thomas’s team was in Seattle , Washington where she got an afternoon off and traveled to the skyscraper to enjoy the view .  Then a month in Chicago with one weekend off.  Even though they didn’t have much time off, Thomas took the
