"Olivia, I'm not sure if that's what I want."
"Dinner and drinks with Doris? I know, I should have just asked her to foot our bill without the pleasure of her company, right? I just thought I'd try to be nice. Practice makes perfect, right?" Olivia said, sparing Natalia a quick glance and a sheepish smile before returning her attention to the folder in her hand. She absently chewed on the tip of the pen in her hand.
Natalia let out a long suffering sigh. She knew Olivia knew what she was referring to. "That's not what I meant."
"You don't want a hearing for Rafe?" Olivia looked up from the folder again, giving Natalia a confused look.
"No, of course I want that."
Olivia shook her head, feigning innocence. "Then you've lost me. I'm not sure what you're talking about, Natalia."
"Don't... you... It was the way you did it, Olivia!" Natalia said finally. "It was... unethical."
Olivia closed the folder and sighed inwardly. She knew that Natalia would have a problem with her method but the opportunity had presented itself and it was just too good to pass up. "Would you have let her buy us dinner and drinks?" she asked gently.
Natalia paused. "Yeah..." she said after a moment's consideration.
"So how's that different from asking her to make a few calls for the possibility of an early parole for your son?" Olivia pressed on, hoping that Natalia would see it her way. "We're not asking her to do a bad thing, Natalia. And if you recall, Doris Wolfe's press conference played a big part in getting Rafe convicted. This is her a chance to right things."
Olivia's reasoning made complete sense. Deflated, Natalia fell silent and sat herself down across from Olivia, who gave her a reassuring smile before flipping the folder open again. Olivia looked so serious and beautiful in her gunmetal grey pants suit.
To be honest, she had been amazed at how deftly Olivia had turned the tables on Doris Wolfe. She was brilliant. Beautiful, confident, sexy, brilliant Olivia. How could anyone who had been with her ever let her go? Natalia's hand itched to brush an errant lock of chestnut brown hair away from Olivia's eyes. Then her eyes dropped to full lips, which were playing with a very... lucky... pen...
Oh my God, what am I thinking?
Olivia looked up when Natalia pushed herself off the chair abruptly as though it had scalded her. "What's wrong, Nat -"
"I just remembered, I forgot to do something really important," Natalia said, hoping that Olivia would not notice that her cheeks were flaming from her bad, bad thoughts. She quickly let herself out of Olivia's office and almost ran to the bathroom.
What was wrong with her!
