      Who Does He Think He's Fooling? - Laurie Baxter

      Tricks of the Trade

      Maybe I need to clarify, people. Nine a.m. staff meeting means nine a.m. Eastern Standard Time. Jessica smirked as she paced in front of the still-filling rows of chairs in the conference room.

      Uh, Ms. Falco, we’re actually on Daylight Saving Time as of three weeks ago, offered Ted from accounting, who was too new to know better.

      Jessica folded her arms across her perfectly tailored suit jacket and stared at him for a good full minute. Given his dark skin, it was a little harder to see that he was blushing, but the sweating was obvious.

      Amy took the opportunity to slide into a seat in the back corner, unnoticed, she hoped. She pulled her red curls into a ponytail as she furtively glanced around, looking for—oh, good, there was Tom, sitting safely on the other side of the room and three rows in front of her. Given that ACME Office Amusements employed only a few dozen full-time staff in their central New Jersey headquarters, she’d be hard-pressed to hide from him for long, but she was damn well going to stretch it out as much as possible. Maybe if she avoided him long enough, he’d completely forget about last night’s humiliating events.

      As Jessica tapped her fingers on her arm and waited for the last of the stragglers, Tom turned to look over his shoulder. Amy whirled to face the wall. Good job, Abraham! He’ll never guess it’s you.

      This was not her fault. She did not ask him to casually suggest they change the entire nature of their relationship over beer and Buffalo wings last night. Or, okay, in fairness, the suggestion was merely implied. But, really, how else would you characterize it when your office pal and best buddy of over a year suddenly and out of absolutely nowhere asks you out on a date?

      She rested her head against the wall with a slight thunk. Oh, who was she kidding? She wasn’t upset about Tom asking her out; she was upset about the way she’d responded. But it wasn’t her fault! He’d caught her off guard! And she truly had thought yesterday was April Fools’ Day. So, really, laughing and congratulating him on his hilarious joke was a perfectly reasonable response.

      Oh God, she was never going to be able to face him again. Which was unfortunate since now, after a year of secretly pining for him and suppressing those feelings for what she assumed was the greater good, it turned out the feelings might be mutual after all. Or not. Maybe it was just a whim. Or a dare, even. No real way to tell without talking to Tom about it. Which was definitely not going to happen because that would involve facing him. She wondered if she could sneak out to cry in the ladies’ room without anyone noticing.

      Don’t you agree, Amy? came a soft voice, just beside her. Crap. Amy pasted on a smile and turned as slowly as possible, mentally calculating which was more likely to be the answer Jessica wanted and which was likely to be a trap.

      ***

      This was torture. Tom shifted anxiously in his seat.

      Y-yes? ventured Amy.

      Jessica raised her brow and stared.

      Amy might have rejected him, but Tom still couldn’t watch the boss toy with the woman he cared about like this. She was still his friend. Possibly. Actually, he really wasn’t sure what he and Amy were to each other after last night’s complete and utter humiliation, but even so, he wondered if he should ask a question or create a diversion of some kind. It would
