In the Stepnov Furniture display room, Leigh Van Dolph tried to refuse the invitation of the sprawling walnut bed and couldn't. She had to rest, even for a moment, so she sat on the bed. She kicked off her heels and tossed her heavy briefcase onto the bed and unbuttoned her suit jacket.
She studied the run in her panty hose. It represented a futile day trying to catch the manager of the luxurious Amoteh Resort.
One look at her wristwatch told her that at six o'clock in the evening, Mikhail was probably dining. Clients were always more receptive after a meal, and she studied the furniture showroom that had wandered into as she waited to catch him. The clean style of the walnut bed was heavily made, the wood smoothed to perfection, and matched the other pieces.
The promotion advertisement on the dresser had said that the Stepnov furniture was sturdy and made to last.
