E. in the lab and I was making excellent progress with my assigned project. I saw Max Rosenzweig regularly and nothing in his behavior indicated that ...he knew about Lillian and me. I was not planning to enlighten him.In early February Lillian had not called once. I resigned myself to the realization that our evening together had been a fluke, a one-night stand. I was very surprised when one Friday evening in mid-February my phone rang and I recognized Lillian's voice."Rudy?" The way she spoke my. So the rest of the trip went. We were all pleasantly joking around and happy.When we arrived back at the office, we unloaded the car and put our luggage in our respective vehicles. We walked into the building and Okolo split off toward his desk. Ifeoma and I paused together. "Well, I'll see you soon, Nwosu," I said, not knowing quite what to say."Yeah, see you soon, Aduba," she replied reaching her hand out. I shook her hand in a business-like way, but I held it a second longer than I should. He was feeling quite content. Then he heard Friday stomping through the halls. And from the sound of it, she was dragging Arty along with her."Para, darn it, where are you?" He heard her holler."I'm in here, sweet Friday, by the fire. Now, why are you raging?"She made her way to the fire and stood before him, Arty's arm gripped firmly in her little hand. "Look at him! I bit him several times, and do you think I could drink? I had a heck of a time even breaking the skin! Dang it, what kind of. I was feeling very feminine now. Next was the low cutblack control slip, which came to about mid-thigh.I slipped it over my head and the cool silky material fell over mybody. I pulled the hem down and felt the slight compression of thematerial, wrapping me in another layer of silk, satin, and lace. Ipulled my dress out of the closet. I had been torn between my pinksleeveless shift dress with a scoop neck, which had a matching wooljacket, a black and white diagonally striped silk wrap dress.
