was. It was obvious he felt a genuine affection for this woman on the other end of the line, and it bothered the hell out of her. It shouldn’t have, but it did. She was supposed to be over him, exacting her plan of revenge, but here she was sitting in his office, seething with envy over this mystery woman. Chastity imagined she’d be a gorgeous blonde, or a fiery redhead with big boobs.
    “I’m sure whatever you wear will look great.” He laughed that deep, throaty, wonderful laugh of his. “I look forward to it, sweet pea. I’ll see you then. Love you.” He waited for a brief moment before hanging up.
    “I’m sorry, where were we?” Sebastian seemed to be in a much better mood, but it put Chastity out of sorts. Whoever this mysterious Robin was, it sounded serious.
    There was nothing she hated more than a cheater and if Sebastian was currently in a serious relationship, then this would put a wrench in her plans.
    “Girlfriend?” She could have punched herself for asking that question. “Sorry. It’s none of my business.”
    Her curiosity seemed to amuse him, his eyes twinkling. “It was my kid sister, why?”
    A wave of relief so great swept through her, that she literally slumped in her chair before righting herself. “Just making conversation.”
    Hurriedly she glanced at her notes. “Uh, we were talking about contributory liability and how much of it was the client’s fault.”
    “Are you okay?” he asked.
    “What? Oh, I’m fine.”
    “You were frowning.”
    Chastity shrugged. “I was just thinking.”

    “About what? Your little lunch date?” The derisive note in his voice made her sit up taller and pay attention.
    “No, actually I wasn’t, not that it’s any of your business.”
    “Ah, so it’s okay for you to quiz me, but I’m not allowed the same privilege?”
    Her face grew warm. He had a point, but she wasn’t about to let him turn this thing back on her. “I shouldn’t have asked.”
    “You said you were just making conversation. So let’s talk.”
    “But you didn’t call me in here to make conversation. You called me to your office to work, not talk.”
    A smile touched his sexy lips. “Yes, so I did. I’m sorry, but I have to ask. Why the sudden transformation? I hardly recognize you.”
    “I don’t see what my appearance has to do with anything,” she said, not wanting to veer down this road.
    “At the risk of starting an argument, I think it does. Along with this new look has come a new attitude and I’m not sure I like it very much.”
    Because I’m not fawning all over you , she wanted to ask. “The look or the attitude?”
    “The attitude I can definitely do without. The look…” His gaze slowly slid over her curves as if he had x-ray vision. “I like very much.”
    Chastity squirmed in her seat. Had someone turned up the heat in the building? He wasn’t supposed to have this affect on her still. Damn the man. “Good for you, but really, as long as I’m getting my work done, what does my attitude matter?”
    “Oh, I think it matters a great deal. What happened to the sweet woman who always had a smile on her face? By the way, I haven’t seen those adorable dimples of yours in over a week.”
    Adorable dimples? It surprised her that he’d noticed anything about her before this makeover. She wasn’t about to let him charm her back to the doormat she used to be. “I didn’t realize smiling was a requirement around here.”
    “No, it’s not, but it’s nice to see.”
    Chastity gave him her biggest smile. “Better?”
    “Something tells me you didn’t mean it.”

    “You wanted me to smile. You didn’t say that I had to be sincere.”
    Sebastian threw his head back and laughed. “Perhaps you’re the one who should have the law degree. You’d kill them in court. Okay, you win.
    It occurs to me that as long as you’ve been working here, I don’t know much about you.”
