"It'll only be for a few weeks. I spoke to Kelly earlier, and she may get here sooner than planned," he said, pulling out his cell-phone. "I can pay you in advance for any additional expenses you think she'll cause you."
How much are weeks of fucking blue balls worth?I sighed, not saying anything.
“Your sister once lived with me for a few weeks when she moved here,” he said. "You didn't have a problem with that."
“She had an entire wing of your house to herself, Jonathan. This isn't the same thing."
"Then add an additional wing to your house."
I gave him a blank stare. Sometimes I had to wait a few seconds to see if he was sarcastic or dead-ass serious, because he was the type of man who would decide to add on an additional wing to his house today and have it built tomorrow.
"Have I ever told you that you have a unique way of threatening people, Jonathan?" I asked.
"I haven't threatened you." He smirked. "Yet."
I rolled my eyes. "She can stay, but please tell her that there will be rules. Lots of rules, especially since I host meetings with my partners on Sundays and my team comes over for prep sessions on Fridays."
“Thank you, Corey.”
"You're not welcome."
He smiled and shook my hand, effectively sealing the worst deal I'd ever made in my life. I would've stood up and walked him to the door, but my cock had been rock hard the moment he asked if Hayley could stay with me, the moment I realized my best friend was fucking me over.
Laughing at my weak handshake, he stood to his feet. “She's insisting on continuing to go by Hayley Smith since she thinks people will treat her differently if they know she’s my sister. I don’t think that’s true at this point, but do you think they would?”
I gave him a blank stare.
“Okay fine. I won’t mention her to anyone except my advisors, then. Everyone knows I have a sister, though.”
“They know she lives on the east coast—supposedly, has never been seen at any of your public events, and she hardly ever comes here. If they were to know that she’s here as an employee, her new life would be instantly miserable because everyone will think she’s your little spy.”
“Don’t they think that about you?”
“They should.” I pulled my drawer open and handed him a folder of reports. “But they don’t. Any other deals you want to force me to do with last minute notice?”
“Well, since my secretary is out sick today and you’re offering, I’d like you to order me some lunch.”
“Get the hell out of my office, Jonathan.”
He laughed and headed for the door. "I do have one last thing, a question."
“I’m listening.”
“Last night, Hayley mentioned that she used to sneak out at night and hang out with you when she was with her last foster family. I know it was long ago, and you left Ohio for college shortly after I did, but do you have any idea what she’s talking about?”
“No.” I shook my head. “I think she’s mixing up her memories, as always. I would’ve thought she was out of that phase by now, though.”
“You and me both.” He held up the folder and stepped into the hallway. “Thanks for helping me out. I’ll see you around whenever.”
I waited until he left the building and leaned back in my chair. There was no way I could handle having Hayley in my house every night. Even without seeing her today, she'd already made me lie to my best friend twice.
What’s worse, was that I knew exactly what she was talking about regarding those late nights, long ago.
She’s not mixing up her memories at all.
