Chapter Twenty-Six: Smooth Operator
EJ walks into his office and sees Kate sitting in the chair behind his desk. "I wish I could say I was surprised to see you, but I know too well the gall you possess. What are you doing here, Kate?" Kate pretends to look surprised. "Why, I'm here for work, of course!" EJ throws his head back and laughs. "Kate, you think you still work here? Why would I continue to work with a woman who had her son try to kill me so she could take over my company?" Kate rolls her eyes. "Don't tell me you're swallowing that tripe." At that moment there's a knock on EJ's office door. A uniformed officer comes in and walks up to Kate. "You're Kate Roberts, correct?" She looks at him suspiciously. "Who wants to know?" The officer shows her the paper he is holding in his hand. "I have a warrant for your arrest, Ms. Roberts," he tells her, putting her arms behind her back, placing on the cuffs. "EJ? EJ! Do something!" EJ comes and stands before her. "Of course, darling, where are my manners?" With that he puts his hands on each of her elbows and leans in to kiss her on the cheek. "Have a pleasant time, sweetheart," he whispers to her, then leans back on his desk so as to have a better view of the officer as he takes Kate away.
EJ looks up from his desk when he hears a knock on his door. "In," he calls out, and sees Sami standing in the doorway. Immediately he smiles and gets out of his chair, walking over to her. He leans in to kiss her but she turns slightly so that he only gets the upturned corner of her mouth. He laughs. "Now, dear, you're not going to pretend to be miffed with me about going to see Lucas, are you?" He gets on his coat as she replies, "Well, you know EJ, this was supposed to be my show." He turns her around so that she's facing him and gently grabs the lapels of her coat, pulling her towards him. "Sweetheart, remember, now, we already determined that I'm in charge here," he stoops down so he can look her in the face without her having to look up, "I only let you play at it because you're so devilishly cute when you're being devious." Sami tries to look indignant but fails miserably. "Now, my dear, why don't we go to lunch? I'm suddenly very hungry."
When they get in the elevator EJ puts his arm around Sami's waist and casually lets his hand roam downwards. "My God," he thinks to himself, "she doesn't have anything on under that skirt." Sami is easily able to ascertain his thoughts and looks over at him with an almost evil smile. Before she knows what's happening, EJ has pressed the stop button on the elevator and has her shoved up the elevator wall, swinging her legs over his shoulders. As he nibbles his way up her inner thigh, Sami throws her arms behind her and arches her back, pushing off the elevator wall, bringing her in direct contact with EJ's face.
Security Guard #1 sits in the camera room, his eyes gazing over the screens, when something on camera in elevator 2 catches his attention. He hears the door to the camera room open and Security Guard #2 walks in. "Hey, elevator 2 seems to be stuck. I think we need to call maintenance." SG #1 chuckles and shakes his head. "I don't think that elevator is broken." He motions to the screen slightly with his chin and the other security guard comes over to take a look. "Now," SG#1 says, "unless I miss my guess, that's our boss Mr. Wells there, although I couldn't say for certain since his face is completely covered by that nice woman's skirt." SG#2 blushes slightly and clears his throat. "So, um, should we do something?" "Yeah," SG#1 says with a smile, "pull up a chair and watch!"
