hadn’t seen her since yesterday. Dash admired her outfit. She wore a tailored navy-and-white-striped shirtdress with a beige belt clenching her waist and a pair of pointy beige sling-back pumps. Her hair was tucked behind her ears and her lips were stained with reddish-orange lipstick.
I wonder if her lips taste as good as they look was the first thing that popped into his mind. Dash exhaled and said, “I just finished sketching three variations of a suit for the new line. I was on a roll and didn’t want to break the momentum by stopping to eat.”
“I know what you mean. It’s hard to stop when the ideas are flowing.”
Lark went over to the coffeemaker, popped a tiny pod of hazelnut-flavored coffee in the machine, put her mug underneath the spout and waited for the liquid to brew. Once the steaming hot coffee filled her cup, she went over to where Dash was sitting and took a seat beside him.
“I’d love to see what you’re working on. I’ve also sketched a couple of dresses that I want to include in the collection.”
“I’ll show you my sketches if you show me yours,” Dash said with a flirtatious smile.
“Deal... So how’s your first week going? I’ve been meaning to stop by your office all week, but I’ve been putting out fires left and right.”
Dash studied her face as she spoke. He noticed a frown line creasing her brow. “Is there anything I can help with?”
She took a sip of coffee and then said, “Not really.”
“You seem stressed. What’s the matter?” he asked with concern in his voice.
“One of my suppliers is going out of business. I just got the word this morning. I’ve worked with this company for years and love their craftsmanship. I’ve spent all day on the phone trying to find a replacement, but none of the companies I’ve talked with so far can deliver the goods in time for production of the new line.”
“What type of supplier are you looking for?”
“A textile mill, but not just any factory. I need one capable of producing a custom line of silk fabrics. I’ve designed new patterns that will help us stand out from the rest.”
