On Company Time

Jimmy's job in customer service is just a paycheck, in his eyes. His boss Debbie wishes he were more of a "people person" and more enthusiastic about coming to work. To improve his skills, she schedules him to attend a two-day, out-of-town workshop Jimmy's already dreading. Then he discovers Scott Raines will be tagging along. Jimmy's had a fierce crush on Scott, who works in sales, since his first day at the office. The man is gorgeous and funny and so damn intimidating, Jimmy hasn't yet screwed up the courage to ask him out. Maybe the workshop will provide the perfect opportunity to remedy that. They'll travel together, share a hotel room, and who knows where things may lead? Johnny might yet get to make his move. Unless Scott makes one first.

Chapter 9

Kenny has an ingratiating grin and a nervous way of running his hand through his hair whenever he laughs.Ignoring my comment,he claps his hands togetherand says,a bit too happily,“Y’all ready to have some fun?”

I groan.Shoot me now.

At first I’m afraid Mr.Focht will go around the room and ask us all to introduce ourselves.But no;he spends a good fifteen minutes telling us about himself,and another fifteen laying out his lesson plan for the workshop.When he finally clicks off the overhead light and starts to scroll through a colorful PowerPoint presentation,I fold my arms across my desk,put my head down,and watch Scott through hooded eyes.

He glances at me before turning his attention to the screen.“Sit up,Jimmy,”he whispers.
