quite pleasant to be with and seemed to like her a lot. But most of all she was positively burning to get her hands on his fund.

Chapter 7
    Her arrival back at the office caused a few heads to raise in interest. Not only was Rose wearing a strange and unflattering outfit, she was back far too early…
    It seemed everyone knew about her hot mega account now judging by the number of unpleasant looks she was getting. They were such a nasty jealous lot… not a nice bone in their bodies, not all of them… but most.
    “Porter, got a minute?” Mike demanded.
    She went inside his office. She was still so completely pissed at him, but she could play a great part when she had to.
    “It’s okay Mike. Before you ask, everything went really well. I’ve got him eating out of my hand like you wouldn’t believe. He’s busy this afternoon so that’s why I’m back early. I’m just waiting for the fund transfer and I can start. Should be on it within the hour.”
    “Oh.. well… well done then! I won’t keep you. But Ro, the trouser suit and boots… it’s not a good look.”
    “I know Mike, but it’s all part of the great seduction plan. It’s coming on a treat!”
    He looked a little sceptically at her but thankfully didn’t probe any further for more details.
    She went back to her desk and smiled at Harry.
    “Update me then”
    “No, you update me first! I’m dying to know… What went on today?”
    “Nothing much to tell Harry. We spoke, we had lunch and I’m on the fund as of now. I have to do some initial work this afternoon. Still on for tonight?” There was no way she could discuss what really went on with Marcus… their little challenge, their instant attraction… she was burying all that deeply inside another compartment in her brain, to deal with as and when she needed to. It had nothing to do with how she felt about Harry.
    “Only if you take that dreadful jacket off! I won’t be seen with you wearing it.”
    “Only the jacket Harry? Don’t you want to take more off than that?” She was suddenly in a great fun filled mood. A powerful surge of energy shot through her as she considered what had happened today from a tactical point of view. She had manoeuvred the biggest playboy ever into a corner, playing her game, her way. What a game it was going to be!
    “Now you come to mention it, the trousers and shirt are awful too. Might have to take those off at some point. I don’t want you to ruin my street cred.” As he ran his eyes up and down her rather weird choice of clothing he wondered what she was playing at. She usually looked so beautifully dressed, really chic…
    “Harrison Taylor, you’re so full of compliments aren’t you! But I might just let you do that… now leave me alone for a few hours, I have a massively hot 1.5 to attend to.”
    He sat back in admiration as she worked away silently next to him. Rose could be passionate over her work at times… obsessed, brilliant, dedicated and professional just about summed her up. She was good at her job. The best. Better than him, if he was truly honest. She had an attention to detail that he couldn’t equal and an intuition that was out of this world. He enjoyed watching her work. In fact he just loved everything about her. If only she meant what she had said just now, he would give anything to undress her. He was sure she was just teasing him again. He wanted her so much it physically hurt at times. Three years was a long time to wait for a woman to love you back. He had almost lost hope.

Chapter 8
    It was two and a half hours before she spoke again. He had made her three coffees in between.
    “Okay, that’s it for today. Take a look at it right now Harry. What do you see?”
    He switched his files out and loaded up the new fund. He looked at the bottom of the screen, the fund summary boxes.
    “… let’s see… Current Fund Value… 1.5255 billion… Daily Gain +1.7%.  No way Ro, I don’t believe it, you’ve just made 1.7%?
