staff and give someone a bit more responsibility to help her. Her job as an event manager hadn’t been like this. Maybe it had been more pressured for smaller amounts of time, but she could see that the resort was a never-ending machine which needed to be maintained correctly to get the best outcome. Keeping it well-oiled would be an every-day necessity.
    By the end of the day she had a headache, but felt like she had learned a lot. Jordan came by her office just as she was packing up to leave.
    “How did your first day go?”
    “You were in a pile of trouble.”
    “Tell me as much as you can on the way to your car.”
    Megan was impressed that he wasn’t trying to delay her. As much as she’d enjoyed her first day back in a more corporate role, she missed the girls and was looking forward to seeing how they’d fared. She explained about the rosters and a few other things she’d found. Then he ruined it.
    “Maybe we should talk more in depth over a meal or a drink.”
    “I have to get home.”
    “I didn’t mean right this minute. It does sound important, though.”
    Embarrassed at jumping to the wrong conclusion, Megan was contrite. “How about first thing tomorrow morning?”
    “Okay. But a drink might make it sound better, and I doubt that even as the owner I could get away with drinking that early.”
    In spite of herself, Megan laughed. “It wouldn’t be a good look. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
    She left the resort with a view of Jordan in her mirror. Damn it all, she’d wanted to say yes to that drink. Thank goodness she could never meet him after work, since it appeared she had no willpower when Jordan was around.

 
    Chapter Five
     
    When Megan walked into the restaurant first thing the next morning Jordan couldn’t believe how much he’d anticipated seeing her. She was dressed in her usual white shirt but today she had on a black skirt that flirted with her knees as it swung. It made her legs look longer and Megan look taller. The whole look made him hot.
    Back in New York he’d dated models who wore designer dresses and had a make-up regime that defied logic and time. He much preferred Megan’s natural look. Yes, she tried to hide those cute freckles on her nose but she didn’t hide who she was and that was its own enticement.
    She smiled warmly at several guests and chatted with a family before she made her way over to him.
    “Sorry to interrupt your breakfast but Chelsea said you’d be here and to come on through.”
    “I was hoping that you would. I usually have something at my place but I didn’t think you’d want to meet there.”
    Megan blushed, while maintaining her composure.
    “This is just fine.”
    “Would you like something to eat or drink?”
    “I’d love a coffee.”
    Jordan called over one of the waitresses and waited for her to order.
    “How did the girls go yesterday?”
    Megan’s eyebrows shot up. “I thought this was a business meeting?”
    “It is. But I’d hate for them to be miserable, and changing a routine that works is hard for everyone, including you. It wouldn’t be good for any of us if that’s how it was permanently.”
    She looked sceptical. “They were very tired but pleased to hear I would be able to collect them straight after school most days. I hope that was okay to mention?”
    “Of course. I meant it when I said we can work around the afternoons. It would be good to organise a person to cover you if there’s a crises, but I know that you’ll give me my money’s worth.”
    She stiffened a little. “My intention is to do my job to the best of my ability no matter how many hours it takes.”
    He really had to mind what he said about money. Megan seemed to have a huge chip on her shoulders about it and, from what he’d heard, the girls’ father had a lot to do with it.
    “I have no doubts on that score. Abby raved about you and so did some of your clients. Everyone thought you were wasted as a cleaner and I’m inclined to
