“Mr. Cooper, I think we can work out a better deal than that. We’ve worked together for how many years now? Ten?” Lacy Preston tucked the phone receiver under her ear as she spoke and swiveled her chair so that she could stare out the window behind her desk, although she quickly realized it was too dark to see anything. On the other end of the line, Paul Cooper hemmed and hawed for a few more moments before finally conceding, promising to lock in a lower interest rate for the business loan she was currently brokering. The corners of Lacy’s lips lifted in a pleased smile, but she kept her voice smooth and professional when she responded. “Excellent. I’ll have my assistant watch for the paperwork and we’ll get it signed and returned to you.” She listened a few more moments, laughing lightly as he grumbled good-naturedly. “I know, I know, I do drive a hard bargain. Have a good night, Paul. Always a pleasure doing business with you.” She dropped the receiver into the cradle with a satisfying click, only then allowing herself to jump from her chair and do a victory dance, wiggling her butt and punching the air while whispercheering to herself. She was in the middle of a groovy spin when her office door opened softly and her assistant, Brenda, poked her head in. Lacy stopped mid-spin, her cheeks warming. She cleared her throat, smoothing her hair and straightening her blazer. “Yes, Brenda?” Brenda was biting back a grin, and Lacy knew it was no use to pretend. She felt her professional facade crack into an infectious grin.
