Maxine was almost at her door before she noticed Derek. She was so surprised that she came to a sudden halt. She hadn’t even noticed that he had been staring at her before he apologised.
"My sincerest apologies for staring Miss Chambers, but you look beautiful."
His words seemed to be spoken before he thought them through and were obviously sincere, which shocked her.
"I brought you the portfolio you requested, and I would like to apologize for my earlier behavior."
She blinked; the wine was obviously befuddling her head more than she’d realised. She looked down at the file that he held out to her.
”The portfolio?”
She echoed.
”Oh yes, of course ..”
She reached to take the file from Derek and ran a cursory glance over the carefully compiled series of papers put into her hands.
”I’m sorry, could you …?”
She handed him her key card which he graciously used to open her door for her.
”Thank you,”
She told him, catching sight of the chair near the ice machine as she walked past him.
”You weren’t sitting there all evening, were you?”[//I]
She asked him turning as she crossed the threshold.
”That really is above and beyond the call of duty”
She praised softly.
”Oh, but do step in for a moment. I won’t keep you long, you must be exhausted by now …”
She waved him into her room and indicated he take one of the plush chairs whilst she lowered herself to the end of the bed, placing the portfolio on it before kicking off the heels she wore.
”I believe I may have had a little too much wine to do this justice tonight,”
She confessed.
”But I will attend to it first thing tomorrow.”
She flicked through the pages giving a slight nod.
”It seems very impressive and will make my job so much easier, thank you.”
She stood up then and offered hesitantly.
”You must be eager to get off duty, but could I offer you a drink; tea, coffee, something from the bar?”
She gave him an uncharacteristically impish smile before adding;
”I have it on good authority that this room is well stocked…”
