She tugged at her tabard just before striding into SI:7 headquarters. “Official business,” she told the man who moved to block the entrance to Shaw’s office. He glanced over her shoulder, apparently getting confirmation, and then let her in.
“I had a feeling I’d be seeing you today.” Mathias grinned roguishly at her, naturally.
Bjorke scowled in return. “You’d better make sure that… that… tailor does the job I’m paying him for.”
“Are you saying my people don’t do their work?” He sounded more amused than affronted. That smirk soon faded as she sat on his desk and poked him in the chest.
“I’m saying that arrogant bastard thinks I’m not calling the shots.”
“Well, darlin’ he is one of mine.”
“And the last one of yours was spying on me!” She folded her arms over her chest. “You’re only lucky his talents were better put to use to serve my needs.”
Shaw rubbed his hands over his face. Some days, there was no winning with this woman. Hell, most days. “Fine, I’ll have a word with him.”
Bjorke dropped her hands to her thighs. “I had a feeling you’d see it my way,” she grinned at him.
“I heard you weren’t married anymore.” He leaned forward, a twinkle in his eye.
“Mmm. Doesn’t mean I’m available.” She slipped off the desk with a wink. “Contact me when he’s ready to deliver the next report.” And with that, she strode confidently out the door, giving a small nod to the shadowy figure lurking about. “See you next time, Mathias.”
“Not if I see you first,” came the standard response.
