Life with him was no circus
"Don't worry about a thing," Kathryn rashly reassured her supervisor as the woman was rushed to hospital with pregnancy complications. "I'll look after your job. "
But who, Kathryn soon wondered, would look after her? Reid Darwin, owner and president of Tucson Janitorial Supply, seemed dead set against her, both on the job and in his private life. Understandable, she had to admit, when one fiasco after another only highlighted her incompetence.
Iron Eyes, her roommate nicknamed him. Iron heart, Kathryn amended ruefully. Not at all fair when he was so capable of making her own heart do pratfalls.
