I walk into my office with a spring in my step. “Good morning, Jenny.”
“Morning, Henley,” she replies without looking up from her computer. “Vanessa called three times.”
“Tell her I died,” I reply as I walk into my office. I dump my briefcase onto my desk and begin to unpack it.
Jenny walks in and puts my burner phone onto the desk in front of me. “You need to call her.”
“I’m not calling Vanessa.” I throw my phone back into the top drawer. “I told you this already. Take the SIM out of that phone, I don’t need it anymore.”
“Who is she?” she asks again, insistently.
I roll my eyes. “She’s none of your business.”
“She’s all of my business.” She folds her arms and leans onto my desk.
I continue to open my computer.
“I don’t like this,” she says.
I glance up at her. “Like what?”
“This mystery woman you’ve met. Why are you so secretive about her? Who is she?”
“She is a friend.” I widen my eyes. “Jenny, butt out. You are overstepping.”
“I am looking out for your best interest, Henley. How do you know she is not after your money?”
“She is not after my money.” I roll my eyes and open my emails. “Why don’t you get back to work.”
“I want to meet her.”
“No.” I open my first email.
“Do I know her?”
“Go away.”
“I must know her.”
“Why? Because you know everything?”
“About you, yes, I do.”
I point to the door. “Out.”
She scowls and storms out and closes the door behind me. Damn woman.
I really need a new PA.
Chapter 17

Henley’s eyes meet mine across the fire. He winks as he sips his beer before casually looking away. I drop my head to hide my smile.
Two weeks in heaven.
It’s Friday night, and the street is gathered for a bonfire at Antony’s house. Rebecca leans in. “You and Henley seem very loved up,” she whispers.
