The Barefoot Groom: Bachelor Billionaire Romance (A Last Play Companion) (20 page)

Luke’s mouth returned to its grim state as he took a step away and nodded his head at the nurse. “Thanks. I’ll check it out.”

Without glancing at Taylin again, he pivoted and entered the room. She flinched as the door shut in her face and was annoyed how her stomach tumbled at the lingering scent of his cologne.

She stared at the door, tempted to follow him into the room. The man needed a lesson in Southern manners from her mama—or maybe her daddy.

“Don’t feel bad,” the nurse said with a laugh. “I reckon he’s just shy.”

Taylin held back an eye roll. “I’m sure that’s it.” She waved goodbye and marched toward the nursery.

New Guy wasn’t that hot. Sure, his eyes were gorgeous. And boy did he fill out his scrubs nicely. But Taylin wasn’t really into surly males. She liked men who were…happy.

Taking a seat at her workstation, she noticed a flyer on top of her clipboard. The picture on the notice made her heart flutter like she was in V-fib.

Say hello to Luke McKay, Mitchel Creek’s newest CRNA, Friday, September 23, from seven until eight-thirty in the dining room.

A yellow sticky was stuck on the bottom of the paper. It was a note to Taylin from her manager, Margaret.

Taylin, thank you for agreeing to help me out with the employee bulletin board. I’d like to feature Luke as the newest member of our team. I’ve attached a list of suggested questions you can use to interview him, or you can come up with some of your own. It would be nice if you could get it done before the open house.

Great. Just before leaving for Hawaii, Margaret had cornered Taylin and asked her to take charge of a bulletin board, which would feature the employees on the women’s floor to help promote camaraderie between the staff members. Since Taylin wanted to transfer from well-baby nursery into the newborn intensive care unit, she hadn’t dared to say no. Plus, Margaret was very supportive of Taylin’s desire to go abroad for a year with the Vital First Breath program. She’d promised Taylin her full support if she got accepted.

Taylin read through some of the questions and sighed. Where on earth had her manager gotten these questions? She did not want to ask a good-looking, grumpy man if he could be any fictional character who would he choose, or what super power would he like to have? Whatever happened to simple questions like where did you grow up or what is your favorite food?

Knowing she needed to focus on her charting before she was called in for another delivery, she turned the flyer over and picked up her paperwork on Ryan’s baby girl. Interviewing Luke McKay would have to wait for another day.
