‘Technically speaking, you were.” I look her over. “But I apologize if I made you feel bad while working for me.”
“Can you remember to tap into the bastard you used to be when it’s necessary this weekend?”
“I’ll try my best.” I step closer. “You should leave now if you don’t want to have angry sex.”
“What about regular sex?”
“I’m open to that, too.” I glance at the bedroom. “Is that what you want?”
She looks as if she’s considering the idea, but then she slips out the front door.

“Did you know that your fiancé is on the cover of December’sGQ: Business Edition?” Taryn steps into my office the following morning.
“Yes, I’m well aware, Taryn.” I refresh the employee schedule onscreen and put on my reading glasses.
“He looks sexy as hell on it.” She shuts the door. “I still can’t believe you managed to keep his real identity a secret from us for so long.”
“It’s a holiday miracle.” I let out a sigh.“I’m super busy getting the estate ready for the upcoming holiday week, so please hold off on whatever else you want to say, unless it’s ‘I’ll happily help you.’”
“I’ll happily help you!”
“Really?”
“Yeah.” She nods, plopping into the chair across from me. “Now that I’ve done that, I really need you to spill some tea on your fiancé’s dick. I want to know how thick it is, how long it is, and where all the veins are. Serve my thirst with every drop.”

Emergency! Emergency! Emergency!
My second business cell blares in the middle of the night. Only three people have the number, and they all vowed not to call me this week, so it must be a desperate telemarketer.
I roll over in bed, trying to shut it off, but it’s a FaceTime call from Mindy.
Worried, I sit up and hit the lamp before answering.
“What’s going on?”
“Sir, I know it’s the holidays, but I’ve come across something rather disturbing and I need to know how you want me to handle it.”
“Okay.” I get out of bed and carry my laptop to the balcony. “Give me the employee’s name and tell me what they’ve done.”
“It’s not an employee. It’s your ex-girlfriend, Amy.”
“She’s not a relevant part of my life anymore.”
“I don’t think she got that memo.” She holds up a press release. “This is one of thirty that are scheduled to be published, and they’ve given your company until midnight to comment.”
“How is this an ‘emergency,’ Mindy?”
