Оглавление“You have a two o’clock with Butch Ferinni, says he wants to put a pool in his backyard. Says he tired of ‘sweating his ass off all summer.’”
“Hope they don’t find any bodies when the dig up his backyard.”
“Louie!” Ava scolded. “Butch loves you!”
“I know,” Louie smiled warmly at his old friend. “Thanks, Ava.”
“For what, Louie?”
“Oh, just about everything I guess—setting my schedule each day, opening my office in the morning, trying to put a nice spin on everything. You’re a wonderful friend; you make my life here tolerable.”
The face of the modest secretary turned instantly red.
“Why don’t you take Friday off? You’ve been putting in a lot of hours lately.”
A huge smile exploded on Ava’s face. She clasped her hands together, her thin body wiggled in excitement. “Oh thank you! My sister is coming in from Milwaukee, that would be perfect! What a nice surprise, thank you so much Louie!”
“Thank you, Ava.”
As an excited Ava exited the room, Louie’s office line lit up. “Yes, what is it?”
“Mr. Montrose just arrived and would like to go over a few things with you in the board room.”
“Be right there.”
