“Unfortunately, I gotta work late. Beckett dropped this on me last minute.”
“To avoid you going out, huh?”
I shrug. “Nah. It’s my job. You guys get outta here so I can focus. I’m gonna speed through this so I can come out tonight. I’ll just be a little late!”
”You sure? We can help.”
I smile up at the guys. “I’ve already got my system down. You guys go, really.”
They all begrudgingly shuffle out of my office, and I get back to work.
Beckett comes in and looks at me. “Uh, can you just lock up before you leave?”
“Yup.”
“Look, I’m not doing this to be a jerk.”
I shrug as I move through the paperwork. “Ok.”
“Mads…”
“Have a good night, Beckett. I have work to do.”
He sighs, opens his mouth like he’s going to say something, but then closes it. He sighs and shakes his head, heading back out of my office.
Beckett, the forever mystery man. My grouchy boss that I most definitely have developed a crush on.
Chugging the rest of my energy drink, I get back to work to finish this work as fast as I can.
Time flies by and I finally finish around nine at night.
Still pretty good timing, if you ask me.
Grabbing my bag, I quickly change into a cute little outfit; cute pair of black ripped jeans, a lace corset tank top thing, a leather jacket, and black cowboy boots.
I flip my hair upside down and run a large brush through it, giving it some volume, then flip back over. Quick little Smokey eye for makeup in the mirror on my desk, and boom! I’m ready to rock and roll.
Heading outside, I brush the light dusting of snow off my car and start it while I run back to lock up the garage. I make sure the security system is on and head back to my car, rushing to get in from the cold.
I plug the address in to my GPS and head out of the driveway, excited go out and loosen up.
And maybe see a different side of Beckett…

BECKETT
I’m sipping on my beer, enjoying the night, when Connor comes and sits next to me.
“So what’s your deal with Mads?”
I turn and frown. “Who?”
“Madilyn.”
He has a nickname for her? Are they… together?
I shake my head and sip on my beer. “Nothing. She’s my employee.”
