"Dr. Rayne is a big boy, I'm certain he can managed to take care of himself
quite adequately." She wasn't about to let the other woman intimidate her.
In fact, the people who could do that were very few and far between.
Julia's lips quirked as she crossed her arms casually "And you, Miss Owens,
are supposed to be a big girl."
She looked at how she had pawned a responsibility off on Kat and wondered,
maybe, just maybe, if this woman would actually consider using her school
kids in a similar manner. Tell them to do something when the task was
supposed to be done by an adult, just so she could stay plastered to Derek's
side. She didn't know why but she had expected more from the woman.
Her blue eyes flashed coolly and her shoulders stiffened. She had to force
herself to relax, knowing full well Derek could tell at a single glance when
she had been on the brink of losing her temper at any given time.
When she looked back into the woman's eyes it was with detached and even
aloof humor. If she thought Julia had been a guard dog before, she hadn't
seen nothing yet.
"Should I just give over the responsibility to Kat for the next computer as
well?" she said quietly and pointedly, a dark eyebrow raised.
