even more. “I hope he’s a hunk. We could use some eye candy in this place.”
Tamara picked up Matthew’s name plate and pushed it into the bin beside the desk. Kendra pushed aside the feeling she experienced at seeing how easy it was that someone who worked for the company was pushed aside for the fresh new face. You spend years with someone every day and in the blink of an eye, you don’t matter to them anymore. That was why she chose never to be with anyone else…not for the long term anyway.
“It may be a woman,” Kendra called out after her. Tamara either didn’t hear or didn’t want to hear because she didn’t turn around as she made her way over to the gathering of staffers chatting at their office manager Helena’s desk.
Please…be a woman. An old…and married woman. There had only been one good looking man in the company and he’d been let go with the others.
Now, she only had to worry about Tamara shaking her ass in those ridiculous outfits she concocts every morning.
Kendra turned back to her computer and got back to her ever flowing inbox. The new starter email had appeared in her inbox just as Tamara left.
Thank God Tamara hadn’t seen that!
She clicked it open and minimised the window. This office was like a women’s bathroom.
No secret was sacred.

Kendra closed the email with a sigh. Perfect, just perfect. He was male. And just knowing her luck, he would be drop dead sexy to boot.

When Kendra clocked off for the end of the week later that day, she walked past the empty offices along the wall with a feeling of dread. As usual, she was the last one to leave at 7pm. Her hours were supposed to be from 8.30am until 5pm but she was always leaving later. It was the reason her last relationship ended so abruptly. He had wanted someone who could make the lunch dates and the dinner reservations he set up. That was how Caleb had met his now fiancée Adora. Kendra had been late, well, actually, she’d never shown up because Matthew needed help with some paperwork for a meeting in the morning. Two weeks later, Caleb had moved out of their Pyrmont apartment and she’d had to move in with her ex brother-in-law. She still loved Jack with all her heart. He had become her brother in all senses of the word the day he married Nicki and now even after the divorce, she still adored him. Nicki hadn’t even offered to let her stay until she got her feet on the ground again. Nor had her other sister Laney. Although, to be fair, Laney was always looking for the next sugar daddy. She didn’t have a permanent residence. Currently, she was keeping a lonely millionaire company while his skanky wife ten years his junior was off in the Hamptons enjoying as many young men as she could. Laney blossomed early and she’d never looked back whereas Nicki was the prude of the family. It was the reason her marriage broke up after only two years. Jack had been a patient man but after a year of no sex with no reason at all, he had had enough. Kendra didn’t blame the man. It had been just four weeks since she last had a one night stand and she was already itching for another to tide her over.
Kendra’s phone buzzed with a text message. Pulling it from her bag, she saw it was from Jack who was in a bar near her work.
J: Come and save me from boredom. The boys have abandoned me.
Usually, she hated text messages because everyone seemed to have lost the ability to form a single word but with Jack, he actually spelled his words out and spoke English.
K: Coming. Be there in ten.
She locked the front door to the office and clicked the down
