“Oh, stop being so melodramatic. We’re going to do just fine.”
He stared at her for a moment, then groaned, throwing his head back. “Shelley, Shelley, Shelley. You’ve got to toughen up, girl. You cringe at the sight of blood. Metaphorically speaking. You can’t go for the throat, regardless. You’re not ready, willing and able to wage all-out war on everyone and everything that gets in your way.” His penetrating gaze stung. “And I am.” He sat back, looking infuriatingly pleased with himself. “You’d better leave this to me.”
She had to bite her tongue for a moment, and even count to ten. She didn’t want to start screeching at him. That would be embarrassing, especially with Jason McLaughlin sitting across the room, watching every move they made.
“You go ahead and give advice to the B group,” she said at last. “You are the highest ranking officer from Allman Industries. You have a right to manage us all you want. But as for our group, for the next four days, I’m the boss. You’re going to do what I say, Rafe Allman.”
He looked at her with heavily lidded eyes. “Is this some kind of payback?”
“Payback!” She rolled her eyes. “You are such an infuriating man. You really think it’s all about you, don’t you?”
“Well, isn’t it?”
She stared at him for a long moment. He really meant it.
“You know, you’re right. This is payback.” She leaned forward again, speaking earnestly. “It’s payback for the time you put green food coloring in the shampoo while Jodie and I were swimming and we ended up with green hair—and green faces and green hands.”
His eyebrows knit together as he recalled the incident. “I must admit, I hadn’t thought that through very well when I did it.” Still, he grinned. “But you two sure did look funny.”
She wasn’t going to concede that. She wasn’t going to concede anything to him anymore.
