“If it eases your mind at all, that lunch place is perfectly legit. He eats there at least twice a week. They usually deliver it, but he probably didn’t order it in enough time,” I assured him, getting up. “Melody, stay here. I’m running to the PR department.”
“You are?” She peered up at me.
“Yes. Harvey was in Mr Black’s office earlier this morning, and I plan to beat him up until he tells me what he knows about this weirdness.” I adjusted the waistband of my skirt and marched towards the doors, only to have Daniel beat me and hold it open for me. “Ah, thank you!”
I made my way down to the PR department and let myself into the hubbub with my key card. It was always slightly chaotic in here with all the different teams working together in a way that was both opposing and cohesive. Combined with the endless ringing of phones, I honestly pitied anyone who had to work with such noise.
I couldn’t do it.
“Ah, Chloe!”
I turned at my name and smiled. Louie Alberts, the department’s heartthrob, had one hand raised in greeting. “Louie. How are you?”
He beamed his signature thousand-watt smile at me. “I’m better for seeing you. What brings you to our humble department?”
Ah, good.
We were flirting.
Well,hewas flirting.
“I’m here to see Mr Park. Is he around?”
Louie smacked his lips. “In his office, I believe. And here I thought you’d finally come down to see me to tell me you’ll have dinner with me.”
“Mr Alberts, stop flirting with women who aren’t good enough for you,” Harvey said, walking into the main office. “Miss St. James, stop distracting my staff.”
“You little—” I started towards Harvey, but Louie laughed.
“Sir, I believe you’re mistaken. Miss St. James is far too good for me,” he said humbly, pressing his hand to his chest.
At least we agreed on something.
Womanisers weren’t my type.
“We’ll agree to disagree.”
“You,” I said, grabbing Harvey’s lapel. “Come with me.”
“Miss St. James, what will people say if they see you dragging me around so seductively?” Harvey gasped.
“He’s my cousin!” I reminded everyone, yanking him into his office. “Hi, Shanna.”
“Hi, Chloe,” his secretary said. “Is he bullying you again?”
“It’s not bullying when I always beat him,” I quipped. “I’m borrowing him for five minutes.”
“Shanna, help,” Harvey whimpered, reaching a hand out towards her.
“Whatever it is, I’m sure you’ve done something to deserve it, sir,” Shanna said, turning her attention back to the files she was sorting.
Heh.
I knew I liked her.
I shoved Harvey into his office and closed the door behind us. “Tell me. What did you do to him?”
He adjusted his jacket, frowning at me. “What do you mean?”
