"Eve," Kit spoke softly and I turned to see him looking at me, just like I knew he was.
He was about to speak but a lady came walking up behind him, clonking her heels on the hard flooring.
"Kit," she spoke gently and placed her hand on his upper arm before walking past him and taking me in.
She was an older lady, dressed very smartly in a brown pencil skirt and white blouse.
"Eve," she said exasperated as if she'd been waiting a lifetime to meet me.
I nodded and smiled at her nervously.
There I stood, awkward as hell, while both Kit and this lady stared at me. I glanced around at the other members of staff rushing from one place to another. You wouldn't have thought that this was a top-secret underground security firm, but just an everyday office. Looking up at the sheer height of the building, from here I could see all of the way to the top floor. As if a huge hole had been left bare during the making of this masterpiece. I could see each floor, and each level had a wrap-around balcony stretching the outer wall. From where I stood I could see people walking on each level through the glass walls. I gulped and heard people approaching from behind.
"Late again, Jesse." The lady with Kit said as the bare-chested man approached us with a huge smirk on his face.
Glancing at Kit, I saw him rolling his eyes.
"Did you forget to put a shirt on again after your workout?"
"I thought I'd give you all a treat," Jesse winked.
He had a strong Londoners accent and I tried not to stare at him. It made Kit's lips lift slightly at the edges, and I couldn't work out if he liked this guy or not. I couldn't help but stare at him, Jesse was incredibly well built and good looking.
Not like Kit, though.
I had to close my eyes to rid myself of those thoughts. I also looked away from Jesse and back to the lady with Kit, wondering who she was.
Jesse pointed at me, "She your Mrs?" he asked Kit.
"No," I said quickly and Jesse looked back at me.
"Yeah," Kit answered, a serious look on his face as he stood with his arms crossed, staring at me.
"That's a shame," Jesse said, and it brought Kit's eyes back onto him.
"She's also your boss, so watch your mouth," the lady beside Kit then said, smiling at me.
Boss?
Jesse looked at me again, taking in my full body as if that mattered.
"This is his daughter?"
They both nodded and Jesse shook his head in disbelief. He wasn't the only one in disbelief, and as he came forward and offered me his hand I stood, dumbfounded.
"It's good to finally meet you," he said.
I shook his hand, noticing how his body flexed as he extended his hand. He had a large duffel bag hanging from his shoulder and he moved it further around his body so that it couldn't swing forward into me.
"You too," I answered.
"Let's move this meeting into the meeting room shall we?" the lady asked, "Whilst we wait for the others to arrive."
The others?
I stared at Kit as he waited for me to start walking along with them. I was so confused. Before I could question him the lady directing us to a room came towards me and walked beside me.
"Miss Johnson, I'm Tricia—"
