“I know. I already bought one. It’s being delivered to the house tonight.”

“You bought one without asking me first?” I narrowed my eye.

“You loved that car. Sometimes, I thought you loved it more than me.” A smirk crossed his lips. “Anyway, you only had the car six months before the accident, so don’t be mad. If anyone should be mad about it, it’s me.”

“Care to explain why?” I cocked my head.

“Because, as I said, you loved that car more than me. So, now I have to go through that torture again.”

A smile fell upon my lips as I laughed.

“Thank you. I don’t believe I loved a car more than you, and if I did, something was seriously wrong.”

“You’ll see later.” He winked.

“I need some coffee. Is there any around here?”

“Are you kidding? Not only do we have coffee, but we also have lattes, expresso, and cappuccino. I didn’t get a chance to show you the kitchen area before. Follow me.”

When we walked into the kitchen area, Jackson and Nathan were there.

“Hey, Charlotte.” Jackson smiled as he kissed my cheek.

“Hey, you.” Nathan kissed my cheek.

“Bro,” Jackson said to Conner, and Conner shot him a look.

“This is your favorite coffee mug.” Conner held it up.

“It’s pretty.” I smiled.

“My Aunt Barb bought it for you for your birthday last year. It’s the only one you use here.”

After Conner brewed me a cup of coffee, he walked me to my office.

“Charlotte! Oh, my God.” A woman jumped up from behind the reception desk.

“This is Olivia.” Conner introduced her to me.

“Hi, Olivia.” I smiled.

“I’m so happy you’re back.” She ran over and hugged me as tears fell down her cheeks. “I’ve missed you so much.”

“I’ll let you two get reacquainted. Whenever you’re ready to leave, let me know,” Conner said.

“I will. Thanks.”

CHAPTER25

Charlotte

Olivia followed me into my office. Setting my purse down, I took a seat behind my desk.

“I wrote down all of your passwords.” She handed me a piece of paper.

“Thank you. I appreciate it. Do you know where the key is to this bottom drawer?”

“It’s locked in my drawer out front. I’ll go grab it.”
