all our retirement money as well as all the extra equipment with them when they skipped the country.” Khan raised a brow at her but she was on a roll. “And what the hell did you come in here full force for? You trying to make the rest of the people here feel afraid? Or is that your plan, to intimidate them enough that they quit? I think you’re going to have your work cut out for you on that score. There hasn’t ever been a more lazy bunch of supervisors working anywhere than the ones here, and they haven’t a clue how this place runs. And they bark and bite all the time. The CSR’s will make or break you.”
    She looked at Reed when she realized what she’d said about biting. She felt the one at her shoulder tingle when he looked back at her. There was something both terrifying and sexy about the way he was staring at her, like she was a Thanksgiving meal and Christmas gifts all in one. She shivered as she turned to Khan again.
    “Are you finished?” She flushed when he asked her. “We came in here together so that we could all look the company over. Walker is a doctor, so you’ll see the least of him. Dylan is a teacher, but will come in from time to time to have a look at some of the rules and make sure they’re up to date. He’s going to be the head of our human resources department. Marc here has a great deal of experience in other fields, such as investigative work, and will assist Dylan when necessary. Sebastian, as well as Reed, have a great deal of knowledge about computers, and are going to see about getting the ones here updated to something in this century. My parents are here because they, for whatever reason, like you.”
    “And you?” He grinned at her and she had a feeling that he was here because he was head honcho. “What do you think you can contribute to this company besides the money and being bossy?”
    “I am the boss.” He pointed to the chair that was next to Reed and asked her to sit. She really didn’t have a choice and they both knew it. She needed this job until she found something else. And she was going to start looking as soon as she had a break.
    “These are the orders taken over the phone for the past ninety days.” She took the papers that Dylan had given her. “I’ve taken the names off to protect the others, but not yours. Can you tell me why you transferred to be a line person and didn’t stay at the phones? You’re very good, as you know. And the best person we have on staff to encourage and get upgrades.”
    “It’s lineman, not person. And you met Robbie I take it?” He nodded. “Then you know. Besides, I love being out of doors no matter the weather. I’ve been working at the same desk for more years than most people stay married. I needed a change.”
    He nodded. “You’re the best this company has. Your sales alone count for over three quarters of what all the others sell. And that’s not all. You handle issues that come up well, too. You’ve been able to save more customers than the others because you’re extremely good at calming the situation and making the customer feel good about the fact that you’ve had to shut him off.”
    She was embarrassed. Kerry squirmed in her seat and her breath caught when a hand landed on her knee. She looked at Reed and he moved it back, slowly running his fingers up her thigh to her hip. Her body burned for more but she turned away, not understanding this at all.
    Kerry looked at Mr. Bowen and had a feeling he knew what his son had just done to her. She looked at Sebastian, who stood up to turn on a computer. She was surprised to see his screen shining on the wall behind him. The cables in this office hadn’t worked since she’d been there.
    “Here is a list of all the people who work here. Most of them are doing well, but we feel they can improve with a bit more training.” He looked at her. “I don’t think they’ve had much more training than a few sheets of paper handed to them, have
