Chapter 4
“Excuse me, Mr. Bennett, I don’t mean to pry, but did you get lucky recently?” She looked at him and then broke into a fit of laughter. “Sorry Russell, I haven’t seen you look this relaxed, ever.”
“Ha, ha, ha, Denise, no, I didn’t do what you suggested. I feel good about things. That does happen sometimes, you know.”
“I know, and I also know that I haven’t seen you look this way for the past three years. I’m aware that you had a date—I mean, an appointment, with that hunky doctor Peter. If I didn’t know they don’t do that anymore, I’d guess he made a house call, or maybe a few. Spill it, boss. Don’t make me dig for answers.”
Russell loved his assistant. She was personable and they were a good match in the wit department. He also knew that she cared about him beyond the job, but he would never put himself out there and ask her for help with something as trivial as a colonoscopy. Especially since he now had Peter to help him.
