Refuel

Chapter 20

“Is it that obvious?”

“Pretty much every day, I get an alert about a sighting of you two.” Tisha bent down to

smell the flowers. I groaned already, feeling sick to my stomach that people would hound me like

they did the other night at the restaurant.

“You shouldn’t listen to gossip, Tisha,” I cautioned.

“Normally, I don’t, but I’m a huge fan of Kash’s.” She sat in the chair in front of my

desk, and I pushed the glass vase of roses to the corner of the desk. I dropped my briefcase to the

floor and made sure not to drop my tea and bagel. Landing in my chair, I sighed, feeling

exhausted from the night before and wondering how long it’d take to clean out all the flowers.

“Can you call the shelter on Third Avenue to see if they’d like flowers?”

“You’re not keeping them?” Tisha questioned.

“You can take some if you want. I’ll take the vase home later today. Everything else can

be donated.”

“He likes you,” Tisha stated.

“I like him too even though we started under unusual circumstances,” I replied.

“Well, I see more than like, but we can save that for another day,” Tisha joked.

“Funny, but we have a full plate of details to go through. Let me log into my computer.”

Typing in my password, I found the file for the charity drive with Pierce and CD

Enterprises as co-sponsors.

“So, we have how many invites sent out?” I asked.

“My list has four hundred. This doesn’t include fan tickets,” Tisha said.

“Do you think we should cut down the personal invites?”

“I think the more the better. Most likely, people won’t show up, and maybe put RSVP as

another check off,” Tisha explained.

I pulled the file folder with all the details out of my briefcase.
