on the closest bar stool and smoothed out the sides of his slick, silver hair.
His hair wasn't completely silver only along the sides of his head. Even though his hair had greyed, he still had a full head of hair. The salt and pepper crown was just long enough to style back. The silver made his blue eyes shine like two floating diamonds in a Caribbean sea.
His dark shirt was not quite buttoned up to the top. The man was very fit. She could see the definition of his muscular chest at the base of where his collarbone met. There was a clear line of I need to see more of what is under that shirt.
Thank goodness Steve came out before she had to say hello. Steve shook his hand.
"Nice to finally meet you, man. It's nice to put a face to the voice." Steve pat him on the arm just as their hand shake ended. "Let me introduce you to everyone."
"The pleasure is all mine." Redford dipped his head in Gingers direction. She felt like his eyes cast an invisible line in her direction. She didn't need to know what kind of bait he had, she would let him catch her with a piece of stale bread.
"This is my wife and partner in everything Jasinda."
Jasinda came out of the kitchen and tucked herself under the arm of her husband. She extended her hand to greet him. Jasinda looked over at Ginger and she didn't need to be a rocket scientist or a psychic to know what was going through her head.
Ginger stood up and made sure that her legs were steady before she started to walk. She made a careful effort so that she stood tall with her shoulders back with her breast leading the way. She rubbed her sticky lips together glad that she took the extra minute to coat them.
She imagined herself walking like she was on stage in the middle of one of the Victoria's Secret fashion shows. She hoped that she didn't look like she was trying to look sexy, but by damn she was. She prayed that the man did not have a wedding band on his left hand.
"Nice to meet you." Ginger's voice came out like she was answering a party line.
"It is really nice to actually meet you." He shook her hand, but closed her hand between both of his hands and slid them off with a softness that made her want more.
Ginger felt her cheeks flush at his comment. "Oh?"
"Funny, I never actually thought I would never see you again. This is a really nice surprise."
"You two know each other?" Jasinda lit up like a Christmas tree on fire.
"Not that I recall," Ginger said and smiled at him with her eyes pinched together looking at him again trying to see if she missed something.
"I'm sorry, no we don't actually know each other. I know I look different in a suit." He laughed and pulled at the lapel of his blazer.
Ginger laughed nervously wondering what she missed. This guy did not have a face or a body for that matter that she could ever forget.
"I bought you your coffee yesterday at Dunkin' Donuts."
Ginger didn't know what else to say other than thank you to Redford when he told her that it was he whom had seen her debacle in the parking lot the day before. That didn't stop her from thinking about the embarrassing moment non-stop while they went over what he was there for.
Steve and Jasinda explained to him what the status of their business was to date. They explained what they were happy with and what they felt could be improved on. Redford explained the varying things that he could offer them as far as his services went from a basic consult that included a business plan all the way up to being there every step of the way through training new staff and getting them up and running through the first three months after re-launch.
"So Ginger, tell me about what your thoughts are on what you would like to see happen in the kitchen and what experience do you bring to the table?" Redford asked her. His eyes met hers respectfully but as soon as she started talking his eyes lowered down to watch the way her lips moved as she spoke.
