It occurred to her that she could talk about her stress to Cabot and at the same time take the first step toward her goal of seduction.

He nodded, a font of wisdom in a navy blazer. “You’ve lost so many jobs, you expect to lose this one. But don’t worry. I’m going to give you great references.”

“And brake shoes.” Self-confidence was all very well, but it didn’t pay the rent.

His brow furrowed. “What?”

“And tires.” But the job, the brake shoes and the tires were putting less stress on her at the present time than Cabot himself. She needed to get him into a loverly mood. Arouse him. Steer the conversation in a different direction…if she could just figure out where the oars were.
