"No, have her start tomorrow," Ethan replied, a satisfied grin tugging at his lips.
Once Margie sent the notice, he didn't waste a second. He headed straight for the racetrack.

"Back with us, Ethan? Hey, snap out of it!" One of his friends clapped him on the shoulder. "You've been zoning out all day, but something's definitely got you grinning." Ethan only smiled mysteriously. "You wouldn't understand!" Norton had been drinking nonstop all night. Even when the dinner finally wound down, he still had not heard a single word from Yvonne. One by one, the guests filtered away from the table until only Norton sat there, stiff- backed and stubborn. Leif stood nearby, looking completely at a loss.
Norton was past tipsy, and Leif stepped in, trying to steady him.
"Get your hands off me!" Norton snapped, shaking Leif off with a fierce glare.
"Lettake you home," said Leif, his voice patient.
"I don't want you takinghome!" Norton barked, the anger flashing in his eyes. "I want Yvonne to cget me." All his assistant had done was help Yvonne review a résumé, and she had insisted on thanking that man with a dinner. Meanwhile, he, Norton Burke, had bent over backward for her-and had she ever once really shown she cared? Leif blinked at the hostility but figured it was better to do as Norton said.

Norton growled, staring at the screen like he could make her appear by sheer will.

"I'm drunk. Cpickup," he said, slurring the words slightly.
"Not happening. I'm going to bed," she shot back, and hung up without missing a beat. Norton, that childish ve mant he had the nerve to try and sabotage her job behind her back, and now he thought she would cto get him home? Keep dreaming.
Yvonne lounged on the couch, a bowl of fruit in her lap, flipping through TV channels while absentmindedly popping grapes into her mouth. Back at the restaurant, Norton glared at the phone, his face darkening like a thundercloud.
"She actually hung up on me!" he growled, tossing the phone onto the table with aloud clatter.
