Chapter 126
“I’ve taken the liberty of organizing your calendar for the rest of the week,” he said, showing me his tablet. “You have a department meeting tomorrow at 10, a budget review at 2, and a check–in with Michelle on Friday about the Thompson project.”
“Impressive,” I admitted. “What about today?”
“Clear except for a 4:30 call with HR about your benefits package.”
“Perfect. After that call, I’d like you to set up a team meeting for tomorrow afternoon. I need to assemble a group for the Thompson project.”
“Any specific people in mind?”
I rattled off a list of names from different departments, digital, creative, analytics, and PR, that I wanted on my team. Dylan’s fingers flew across his tablet as he took notes.
“And I’ll need access to the executive marketing servers,” I added.
“Already requested.” He smiled. “It should be set up by tomorrow morning.”
“You’re good at this,” I said, genuinely impressed.
“That’s the idea.” He stood, adjusting his impeccably tailored blazer. “Anything else before I head down to prepare for the team meeting?”
“That’s all for now. I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”
After Dylan left, I returned to the Thompson brief, jotting down ideas for their new brand positioning. The work absorbed me completely until my phone buzzed with a calendar notification for the HR call.
The call was brief and straightforward, updating my benefits package to reflect my new position. After hanging up, I returned to my notes, determined to get a rough concept outline before leaving.
I worked steadily for another hour, lost in the creative process. The office gradually quieted as people filtered out for the day. I was sketching a potential logo redesign when I felt a presence at my door.
Looking up, I saw Alexander leaning against the doorframe, his tie loosened and jacket draped over one arm. He’d rolled up his shirt sleeves, exposing muscular forearms that reminded me of how easily he’d lifted me against him during our honeymoon.
“Working late already, Mrs. Carter?” he asked, his voice low and rich.
“I was just wrapping up,” I said, setting down my pen. “Lost track of time.”
