“They’re not just videos. He makes his own background music too. And he does pranks sometimes,” Rowan informs us.
“Well, he certainly sounds like someone who has a fan base,” Nova says. “I wonder if he’d do a collab with Vision Tech?”
I laugh. “Is that all you think about? The company?”
She smiles a little sheepishly and hunkers lower in her chair.
I glance at her. “You still haven’t told me if you ate lunch, Nova.”
“What iswitheveryone today? You and Henry keep bothering me about food. I ate, okay?”
I frown. “Henry?”
This guy is sniffing around her at lunch too?
“Oh, speaking of Henry,” Nova’s eyes flutter open, “I’m going to offer him a permanent position at Vision Tech.”
“No.”
“No?”
“I don’t like him,” I mutter, gripping the steering wheel like it’s Henry’s head.
“Why not? He’s an excellent contributor, always goes to work on time and he—”
“Is brilliant enough to work somewhere else. Send him to Yoon Technologies. We have contacts there, right?”
“Why would we give one of our best workers to the competition?” Nova frowns. “Are you feeling alright?”
“I’m fine.”
“He sounds jealous to me,” Rowan says.
I whip around and give the kid a blistering stare. “Zip it or no TenTwo for you.”
He makes a face.
Nova studies me. “Are you jealous of Henry? Why?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not jealous.” I slow the car down in front of her apartment.
Nova doesn’t budge from her seat. “Do you really not want him at Vision Tech?”
I recognize the tone of her voice. She’s in full ‘executive assistant’ mode. Whatever I say next will be followed to a T.
Emotions roil in my gut and I struggle to separate my feelings from the business at hand.
Nova blinks, her expression unchanging.
I sigh. “If you like him then… I’ll trust your judgement.”
She breaks out into a smile and, even though I basically green-lit that kid bothering her for the foreseeable future, it feels worth it.
Just then, Nova’s phone rings.
She glances down and an annoyed look crosses her face. Tucking the phone toward herself, she reaches for the door. “Thanks for the ride. I’ll see you tomorrow. See you, Rowan!”
“Bye!”
