“Hi, Miss Delaney!”

“Are you back from vacation?”

“We missed you, Miss Delaney.”

Henry walks up to me as I’m waiting for the elevator. He gives me a shy smile which I return.

“Hi, Henry, how have you been?”

“Good.” He meets my eyes. “It’s good to see you.”

I nod.

“Hey, babe.” Courtney, the intern, slips an arm around Henry’s arm.

My eyes bulge.

Henry rubs the back of his neck. “Did I mention? I got a new girlfriend.”

“Henry, that’s great.”

“Thanks.” He eyes me. “Uh, I already spoke to Mr. Harrison but, there are no hard feelings with us, right?”

“None at all. I’m happy for you.” I dip my head.

He smiles and gets into the elevator with me, squeezing his girlfriend’s hand. I am genuinely happy for Henry. He’s a nice guy and he’s going places. I’m glad that Adam was able to set his feelings aside and find a way to keep Henry at Vision Tech. He’s going to be an asset for the company. I can feel it.

As I walk into the office on the top floor, I feel energy surging through my veins. My heels click in time to my quickening heart. The lights are bright. The employees are shining. It’s like stepping into a magical world.

“Miss Delaney!” Rochelle shoots to her feet and aims a big grin at me.

I greet her with a nod. “Where’s Adam?”

“Mr. Harrison is in a meeting right now. They’re trying to decide if he should continue to participate in the inventor’s competition since he’s running Vision Tech now.”

“What?” My jaw drops.

Rochelle checks her computer. “He should be finished soon.”

I start to charge down the hallway when I remember that I don’t have a right to step into that meeting.

I’m no longer working at Vision Tech.

The dissatisfaction returns.

I wait in Adam’s office, which used to bemyold office, and pout until the door opens.

Adam steps in, looking like a GQ model in a button-down shirt and dark slacks. He traded his flannel and jeans to fit into office attire. And though he looks tasty enough to lick, I prefer him in his cowboy boots and casual clothes.

“Nova.” A brilliant smile spreads across his face and lights up his eyes.

I shoot out of the chair and approach him.

The light in his eyes putters out when he sees my fierce expression. “Uh-oh. What did I do?”

“Why didn’t you tell me you were thinking of withdrawing from the competition?” I demand.

“Oh, it’s that?”
