Так получилось, что книга ко мне попала в тяжелый эмоциональный кризис и многое мне дала. Написано актуально, тут многих полезных вещей, никакого злоу...

“Diagnostics?”
“I was their youngest mechanic, so I wasn’t afraid of the new scan tools.”
“You dive right in?” Tasha was liking Alex more and more as the interview went on.
“I dive right in.”
“When can you start?”
Alex grinned. “Can you give me a few days to unpack?”
“Absolutely.”
Both women came to their feet.
“Then, I’m in,” Alex said.
Tasha shook her hand, excited at the prospect of another female mechanic in the company. “Welcome aboard.”
Alex left, but a few minutes later, Tasha was still smiling when Matt came through the door.
“What?” he asked.
“What?” she returned, forcibly dampening her exhilaration at the sight of him.
She couldn’t do this. She wouldn’t do this. They had an employer-employee relationship, not a man-woman relationship.
“You’re smiling,” he said.
“I’m happy.”
“About what?”
“I love my job.”
“Is that all?”
“You don’t think I love my job?” She did love it. And she had a feeling she’d love it even more with Alex around.
“I was hoping you were happy to see me.”
“Matt.” She put a warning in her voice.
“Are we going to just ignore it?”
She quickly closed the door to make sure nobody could overhear. “Yes, we’re going to ignore it.”
“By it, I mean our kiss.”
She folded her arms over her chest and gave him a glare. “I know what you mean.”
“Just checking,” he said, looking dejected.
“Stop.” She wasn’t going to be emotionally manipulated.
“I’m not going to pretend. I miss you.”
“There’s nothing to miss. I’m right here.”
“Prepared to talk work and only work.”
“Yes.”
He was silent for a moment. “Fine. Okay. I’ll take it.”
“Good.” She knew with absolute certainty that it was for the best.
He squared his shoulders. “Who was that leaving?”
“That was Alex Dumont. She’s our new mechanic.”
Matt’s brows went up. “We have a new mechanic?”
“You knew I was hiring one.”
“But...”
Tasha couldn’t help an inward sigh. She’d seen this reaction before. “But...she’s a woman.”
“That’s not what I was going to say. I was surprised, is all.”
“That she was light on testosterone?”
“You keep putting words in my mouth.”
“Well, you keep putting expressions in your eyes.”
He opened his mouth, but then he seemed to think better of whatever he’d planned to say.
“What?” she asked before she could stop herself.
“Nothing.” He took a backward step. “I’m backing off. This is me backing off.”
“From who I hire?”
Matt focused in on her eyes. His eyes smoldered, and she felt desire arc between them.
“I can feel it from here,” he said, as if he was reading her mind.
