Chapter 60

• As Lisa neared the conference room, she tried to calm her breathing and slowed to a walk. Soft light shone from beneath the closed door. He was definitely in there, waiting for her. She honestly didn’t know she felt so anxious about seeing every time but Mason tingled her senses every damn time and that in all was enough to get her crazy with excitement. Carefully, she attempted to smooth her hair and clothing while tidying the bundle of documents in her arms. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door.
• “Come in.” she walked into the warmly lit space. The conference room was huge; one wall was filled with floor-to-ceiling windows that gave a beautiful view of the cityscape from eighteen stories up. Dusk darkened the sky outside, and skyscrapers speckled the horizon with their lighted windows. In the center of the room stood a large heavy conference table, and facing her from the head of the table was Mason.
• He sat there, suit jacket hanging on the chair behind him, tie loosened, crisp white shirtsleeves rolled up to his elbows, and chin resting on his steepled fingers. His eyes were boring into hers, but said nothing.
