“I’ll definitely let you know,” she tossed back with a lift of one shoulder, prepared to play his game of words. “But I’m warning you, I can be very demanding, and particular.”
“So can I,” he replied with a hint of mockery.
“Fine. I’d love to see how we operate together.”
“I was thinking the same thing. I have no doubt we’re gonna get along just fine.” The room fell quiet as Leon opened a folder and removed the photos that Hadley had emailed to the manufacturer. “I love your line. The designs are stunning. Utterly unique.”
“Thanks,” Kacey replied.
“You really know how to showcase a woman’s best assets.”
“That’s what good design is all about,” she replied, watching Leon as he held up one of the photos and tilted back in his chair.
“I especially love this one…your Sheer Double Dip,” he commented, moving the picture aside to rake Kacey with a look that left no doubt in her mind that he was checking out more than her design credentials.
“It’s the heart of my collection. All about the see-through fabric. Do you have a supplier for it, yet?”
“We’re sourcing it now. Trust me, I’ll get it at your price.”
“Good. Then I guess we’ve got a lot to do,” Kacey tossed out, clearly ready to get started.
“Sounds fine. I’m ready whenever you are,” Leon said, leaning forward.
Kacey slowly unscrewed the cap on her bottle of water while assessing her new collaborator with interest.

In the full five minutes since they’d met, she could already tell that collaborating with him was going to be a challenge. A challenge that she was more than ready to accept.
