Sure,”
Dana said. “So, how is the business coming along?” she
asked. Steven smiled as he poured the coffee into two mugs and then
walked back into the living room.
    “ Pretty
damn great, thanks to you,” he grinned as he handed her one
mug. “I mean, where did you ever find Julie? She has literally
been my golden goose,” he added as he sat down next to her.
    “ Oh,
I know all about her golden eggs,” Dana replied smiling.
“Matter of fact, I have her and this other guy at the office
rocking waves in real estate. I am surprised they have never
considered moving to a bigger realty,” she added. Steven smiled
at her.
    “ I
think she feels at home with you,” he confessed.
    “ Well,
I like to think that I am a good enough boss,” she laughed.
    “ She
wouldn’t even consider working with me so I guess you are doing
a great job so far,” Steven said with a smile. Dana looked at
him and raised an eyebrow.
    “ Work
with you? Or work for you, mister?” she asked. Steven looked at
her and laughed.
    “ I
wouldn’t feel right having her as a subordinate. Besides, she
is far too talented,” he said. “And I have a strong
policy against being a little more than friendly with my staff,”
he added with a smile. Dana looked at him and laughed.
    “ Look
at you being so modest about everything,” she joked. “If
someone heard you, they would think that there is nothing more
between you and Julie except for the usual working thing,” she
said. Steven looked at her and smiled.
    “ What
can I say? I try,” he teased. Dana smiled at him and then took
a sip before she leaned back against the couch.
    “ So,
Steven. When are you planning on making an honest woman of Julie?”
Steven smiled and took a sip of his coffee.
    “ Actually,
sooner than you think,” he told her. Dana’s eyes grew
wide.
    “ Wait,
are you serious?” she asked in a whisper. Steven nodded and
smiled. “Holy shit!” Dana shrieked. Steven shook his head
and pressed his index finger to his lips.
    “ Not
too loud. You’ll wake her up,” Steven whispered.
    “ Oh
relax. That pill still has a few hours to do its damage,” Dana
said with a smile. “So, who else knows?” Steven shook his
head.
    “ I’ve
been looking to have a sit down with Meg for a long time, but she has
been on quite the busy streak for the last few weeks. So I guess
right now, you are the only person who does know,” he said. He
rose an eyebrow at her. “I hope I can trust you to keep it
between us,” he said. Dana smiled and nodded.
    “ Of
course. I wouldn’t ever dream of ruining your surprise,”
she promised. “But I have to admit, I am a little jealous.”
    “ What
do you mean?” he asked.
    “ Well,
I knew you first. And my employee has to bag the hot Brit on my
watch,” Dana said smiling.
    “ Are
you trying to do an impression of some Kardashian?” Steven
asked.
    “ Actually,
yeah. But I haven’t decided which one,” she joked. Steven
laughed.
    “ Maybe
you and I were never really meant to be, my love. Your lover would
have gutted me with his bare hands,” he said in a theatrical
voice. Dana laughed and shook her head.
    “ You
are crazy,” she giggled as she picked up her bag. “I need
to go back to the office. But when she wakes up, let her know I’ll
come by to check on her later,” she said standing up. Steven
looked at her and smiled.
    “ Thanks
for calling me. I don’t understand why she likes pushing
herself so much,” he said.
    “ That
is the one mystery we will never be able to solve,” she said as
she walked to the door. Steven smiled at her as he walked her to the
door. “Trust me. Don’t rack your brain too much. This one
time, she had a stomach bug but she had to close a deal,” she
started.
    “ Don’t
tell me she still went to work,” Steven groaned.
    “ I
think your girlfriend is the reason we have so many tissue rolls in
open houses,” Dana said as she walked out. Steven laughed and
closed the door before he walked
