“Was that your sister that brought it?” Harper wanted to know. She smiled curiously. Then she tried to peek into the office. Allison was slightly irritated at this turn of events. She had figured that Harper would just bring the package upstairs when it arrived.
She didn’t know McKenzie was going to get involved or that she’d have a nosy audience wondering what was going on or why she was in Christopher’s office. There was no hiding the fact that she was naked, after all. She was very obviously wrapped in an ugly quilt.
“Blonde girl with glasses?”
“Yeah.”
“Yep, that’s my sister.”
“She seemed...”
“Nice?”
“In a hurry,” Harper said.
“Yeah, she wants to get some coffee from next door,” Allison explained.
“Well,” McKenzie said. Then she just stood there, staring at Allison.
“Well,” Harper echoed McKenzie.
“Do you need something else?” Allison asked the two women. She knew that as soon as Harper and McKenzie walked away, the office was going to be filled with stories. Awesome.
Just so awesome.
“Is Christopher still there?”
“No, he left,” Allison said.
“I didn’t see him leave.”
“Well, he left out of the window,” Allison said.
McKenzie gasped. Harper brought a hand to her mouth in surprise. Okay, so much for fending off gossip. This was definitely going to spread around the office like wildfire. Allison could practically see the headline.
THIS JUST IN. DRAGON BOSS STRIPS NUDE IN FRONT OF STAR EMPLOYEE.
Well, maybe she wasn’t quite a star.
“He’ll be back,” Allison said lamely.
“I’m sure he will,” McKenzie seemed flustered, and she left quickly with Harper following close behind.
Allison was thankful they left promptly so she didn’t have to come up with anything else to say. She took the clothing back into the office, dropped the quilt, and put on the clothes her sister had brought. Apparently, Yvette had a sense of humor because she’d packed a simple pink dress without any bra or panties.
Awesome.
Now Allison got to spend the rest of the day feeling breezy and nervous, and hoping she didn’t walk anywhere with air conditioning. The last thing she needed was for everyone to see her nipples poking through the dress.
Well, except maybe Christopher.
Allison wouldn’t mind that at all.
She shoved her wet clothes into the bag, folded the quilt, and then took one last look around the office. Maybe she should tidy up the clothing Christopher left when he shifted and ran, but she didn’t need to.
She just needed to...
Well, she needed to get back to work.
