Luca’s sharp jaw ticced. “Just another day.”
Without another word, Luca walked away from me into his executive elevator, where I couldn’t follow even if I wanted to.
An email appeared in my inbox at the end of the workday. Since it was from my boss, I decided not to ignore it.
From:[email protected]
Saoirse,
Please come to my office first thing in the morning. Security will have an elevator card for you.
Yours,
Luca
What the hell could this be about? I couldn’t even begin to fathom why he’d need to summon me to his office so formally. It was annoying he was making me wait until tomorrow to find out.
From:[email protected]
Luca,
I’d call you the king of edging, but that wouldn’t be accurate since I know you’re into immediate gratification.
I’ll be there in the morning, sir. Bells will cost you extra.
Sincerely,
Your Inconvenient Hookup, Saoirse
A minute later, another email popped into my inbox.
From:[email protected]
Saoirse,
It would be most appreciated if you stopped referring to yourself that way, especially through company email.
To your first point, I’m a man who is flexible in the way I get things done. Sometimes, it’s slow and deliberate. Other times, it’s fast and repeated.
We can discuss all this in the morning.
Yours,
Luca
Chapter Nine
Saoirse
TheexecutivefloorofRossi was intimidating the moment I stepped out of the elevator. A beautiful chrome-and-leather motorcycle was mounted to the burnt-red wall beneath Rossi’s insignia. To its left was a glass-and-chrome reception desk, which was empty. That made sense, though. Most employees didn’t start arriving for another hour.
I strode past the empty desk, swiveling my head left and right. The offices up here were all glass, so it was easy to see most were still unoccupied. The glowing light coming from the corner acted as a beacon. I didn’t know for a fact it was Luca’s office, but I could take a wild guess.
