Excerpt
Alina’s steps were quick. Her orders would be up in a few minutes. And she wasn’t going to serve up food that had dried out under the warmer. She wouldn’t want to eat food that had been sitting too long and she wouldn’t do that to someone else.
With “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” playing in the background, Alina approached the table by the big windows overlooking the busy sidewalk. The man had his head down as he read the menu. It gave her a moment to study him. His hair was dark and cut short. Every strand appeared to be in place. He wore a dark suit. It looked expensive.
“Excuse me,” she said. “You asked for me.”
When he lifted his head, his gaze met hers. Her heart jolted in recognition. She would know those brown eyes anywhere. They were the same ones she’d stared into that very morning in the lobby of her building.
His dark brows drew together as unspoken questions flashed in his eyes. Apparently, she wasn’t the only one to remember their run-in. But why had he followed her here? Was he some sort of stalker? Worry sent her pulse racing.
“You. You’re the woman from the building this morning.” He set aside the menu.
“And you’re the man who stood there eavesdropping.”
“I did not. I was politely waiting to ask a question.”
“If you say so. Still, you could have cleared your throat or said something.” The man’s gaze grew darker. Good. Let him be angry. She didn’t like to be spied upon and she didn’t have time to waste. “I have to get back to work.”
“But where is Alan?”
“It’s Alina. And I’m standing right here, but not for much longer.” Her brain said to turn around and walk away, but her feet refused to move.
“Wait.” Confusion showed in his eyes. “That can’t be right.” He reached in his pocket and withdrew a slip of paper. “I’m looking for Al or Alan Martin. He’s the building manager at the Stirling Apartments on Holly Lane.”
“I’m the building manager.”
The man stared at her for a moment as though trying to figure out if he believed her or not. “Can I ask you a question?”
She shrugged. “You can but it doesn’t mean I’ll answer.”
A smile lit up his face, making him downright gorgeous. The breath hitched in her lungs. For a second, she forgot she’d been irritated with him. She took a moment to really notice him. He was wearing a charcoal gray suit with a brilliant blue dress shirt sans the tie. The top button was undone, revealing a silver chain around his neck. Interesting. Perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to give him another chance.
