‘I’ll be in the kitchen if you need me.’ Nodding at her friend as she left the room, Lisa turned back to Mitch, staring at him, her face a flat ...ask giving away none of what she was feeling inside. Leaning forward, his elbows on his knees Mitch cleared his throat in the silence and then started to explain. ‘Lisa…..I’m so sorry I hurt you. You’re right…..I’m a shit….I’m sorry.’ Starting to get up Lisa replied, ‘Fine you’re sorry, you’ve apologised….now go.’ Mitch stood, grabbing her arm,. I dropped the phone and my purse. As soon as it hit the floor, my purse exploded, items scattering everywhere. ‘Son of a bitch!’ I muttered. Like I really needed this today. An amused Southern voice drawled, ‘Need some help?’ I arched my eyebrows and prepared myself to give a frosty ‘get the hell(o) kitty away from me.’ until I looked up into a pair of green eyes. I was mesmerized by the secrets that he held in his eyes and his mischievous smile. ‘Miss….can I help you?’ He bent down so that. I'm Jennifer and I would be happy toassist you," she said to me."Thank you," I said back. "I would like to try these on." Of course," Jennifer said and led Alexia and I to the dressing rooms.Jennifer took our Frederick's bags and Alexis and I went into the room. I was just about to try on a dress when Alexis said she would be rightback. Alexis came back in with one of the Frederick's bags."I told Jennifer what we would need," She pulled out the nude paddedgirdle and had me put it on. Alexis. Big egos are the easiest hurt. If he tries to get into my panties I?ll have to disappoint him. I may not manage to stay diplomatic. If that happens then I?ll be soon looking for another job.??Let?s hope then that his ego is the only big thing on him while the two of you have a private moment?, Scarletts friend remarked, patting her on the shoulder. ?And that his ego doesn?t bounce or throb while he presents it.? They both laughed so hard they nearly spilled their wine.It was the last evening.
