“And?”

“A couple of Mr. Statham’s top advisors just booked quite a few of the ones on your list for the next few weekends. I think it’s because the shareholders are really happy.”

“How many out of the eight locations are booked with Statham executives?”

“Six out of eight.”

Fuck it. I’m going to tell him.

“Thank you, Tillie.” I left my office and walked to the executive building, taking the elevator straight up to Jonathan’s floor.

As I approached his door, I heard Hayley’s voice.

“You better talk to her and fix whatever it is,” she said. “Claire loves you and you know it.”

“Goodbye, Hayley.” He sounded annoyed.

“I love you, too.” She opened the door and walked right into me.

I looked her up and down, loving the way her grey and navy-blue dress complemented her eyes and hugged her curves today.

She blushed as I held the door open, and I almost leaned down to kiss her, but I held back.

Closing the door, I walked over and took a seat at Jonathan’s desk.

Start with the work, then tell him about Hayley. Start with the work, then tell him about Hayley.

You just want a chance to show him that you can be good enough for her, and you ARE good enough for her.

“So...” I cleared my throat. “About the Meyer’s account. I was thinking we could investigate their backgrounds a little more before we fully commit. What do you think?”

He didn’t answer. Instead, he stared at me long and hard. Then he leaned back in his chair and placed a stack of printed emails in front of me.

“Jonathan?” I asked. “What do you think about what I said about the Meyer’s account?”

“I think I want to ask you something else.”

“Okay,” I said. “I’m listening.”

“Are you fucking my little sister?”

“What?” I was caught completely off-guard. What are you—”

“It’s a yes or no question. Are. You. Fucking. My. Little. Sister?”

“It’s—It’s not like that.”

“Yes or no.”

I sighed. “No, not—”

“Yet? You plan on fucking my little sister?”

“Jonathan, man...It’s not what you think it is.”

“For your sake, I would hope not.” He narrowed his eyes at me. “When the fuck were you going to tell me about this shit? Or were you just going to keep pretending that the man I was looking for, wasn’t you?”

“I wanted to tell you weeks ago, but I knew how you would react to this...What I have with Hayley is nothing like what I’ve had with any of the women in the past. It’s still new, and we’re still working on it, so if you would just listen to me, I would appreciate it.” I was talking a mile a minute. “I’ve had feelings for Hayley for a long time, and she wasn’t lying about climbing through my window when she was younger. That’s how we became close. We stayed in contact for years without saying much to you about it, but—” I stopped.
