She arrives back at the office 30 min later. He had even been thoughtful enough to have a driver waiting for her to take her back when she was finished eating. Miss Nolan grins as she comes in and hands her a fresh coffee.
“So how did lunch go?”
Eve sips at her coffee, trying to not show her smile. “Are we office gossip now?”
Miss Nolan glances around to see if anyone is watching. “Of course. No one has seen Mr. Burnett this interested in anyone before.”
“Well you can quell rumors by telling them he is helping me with etiquette issues I have so I don’t screw up the upcoming banquet I’m supposed to go to.” She tries to look serious so no one can see the effect he’s having on her.
“Oh.” Miss Nolan’s face falls. “Well that would explain it.”
“Explain what?” She lifts a brow in question.
“Lately he’s been in the habit of walking past here several times a day to glance in your office window.” Seeing Eve’s confusion, she smiles. “You didn’t know?”
“No.” She waves away the next question she knows is coming. “And no we did nothing more than talk at lunch today.”
Miss Nolan holds her hands up in defeat. “Ok. I get it. I’ll spread the news along.”
“Thanks.” Eve closes the office door behind her and sags against it.
“Here are the files you asked for, Fox.” She steps into Fox’s office and lays the files on her desk. She narrows her eyes in suspicion, seeing the grin Fox is giving her. “What?”
“So how did your lunch date go?” Fox waves her to the chair across from her.
“You too?” Her shoulders sag, flopping into the chair.
Fox laughs, steepling her fingers in front of her. “Rumors abound. So tell me what’s really happening.”
“I don’t really know.” She slides lower in the chair, frustration showing. “We’ve been talking more and teasing but the lunch really was him doing me a favor. I asked him to give me etiquette lessons and lunch was his attempt at getting another one in before he left.”
“I see.” She chuckles again, sending Eve lower in her chair. “Owen doesn’t give favors. So what is he getting out of it?”
Eve snorts. “Answers.” At Fox’s confused look, she sits up straighter and smiles. “He’s getting answers although why he would be so interested in them I couldn’t fathom.”
Interest piqued, Fox leans back and watches Eve squirm. “What kind of questions is he asking?”
A blush creeps up her cheeks. “Um, kind of personal ones.” She sees Fox’s eyebrow shoot up in shock. “But he answers the same questions I do so we’re kind of learning the same thing about each other.”
Both eyebrows go up as Fox digests this. “Darling, I’ve known Owen over 20 yrs and he rarely opens up to me!” She sighs; checking to make sure no one is near her doorway. “Be careful. I don’t want to see either of you hurt. As your friend, let me tell you a few things about Owen. He’s very private for a reason so if you get him to let you see behind his walls, it’s because he trusts you. I know he’s been keeping an eye on you for a long time. He’s the one that brought you to my attention to begin with so I know he’s been seeing how you behave around everyone since he was asked to investigate Bianca. Something you’ve done has gained his trust. Please don’t do anything that might crush that.”
Eve sobers, letting Fox’s words sink in. “I won’t.”
“Also keep in mind that even though he seems very straight laced, he’s not. Inside is a playful little boy dying to get out.” She winks. “Let him have his fun when he can.”
“I think I’ve heard him laugh more in the past few days than I have in the last year.” She shrugs. “I told him earlier today I liked hearing it.”
Fox relaxes, realizing they might be good for each other after all. “Good. He needs someone to let him be himself for a while, even if that person is just a friend.” She reaches out and touches Eve’s hand to comfort her. “Whatever happens just let it come on its own. I want to see you both happy.”
“Thanks.” Eve looks at the clock and frowns. “Is it just me or am I worrying too much? He’s been gone only a few hours and I won’t rest easy til I hear from him.”
“I’m that way every time David flies.” Fox leans back and stares at the wall, her mind wandering over the reason Owen left. “I’m not sure exactly what is going on. I just know that David is very upset and wary right now. Owen can handle himself in most cases and I know they have a code system set up just in case they are being monitored so I wouldn’t worry just yet. Let him have a day or two to settle in. If you haven’t heard from him in that time, let me know and I’ll pump David for information.”
“Thank you.” Eve stands up and pushes her skirt down her legs. “I better get back out there before the rumor mill has us going at it too.” Fox’s laughter follows her out into the hallway.
