Who’s the liar?
So I’ll see you Saturday night?
I’d better not
I don’t know what the fuck his problem is or where he gets off trying to tell me what to do. I’m fucking over him, to be honest.
If he cares so much, why doesn’t he just do something about it?
I shake my head, annoyed as Rock walks in and I drop my phone.
He’s a cool boss, but I still don’t want it to seem like I’m not working hard.
“Hey, Rock,” I say.
He gives me a chin lift. “You good?”
I nod. “Hey, I’ve been thinking…you know how much busier we’re getting and we’re now offering haul trailers for hire? Cash mentioned that we may look at putting another person on to help.”
“Probably a good idea,” he replies, looking around the messy office.
I swallow hard. I don’t want to sound ungrateful, but I know that I’m quickly outgrowing parts of this job. I need something more mind stimulating.
“If someone can help with the day-to-day office duties, it means I can get the financial stuff better organized, take over all the invoices, and work more closely with Jas at the club.”
He gives me a look. “You’re not happy here?”
I frown. “I’m very happy here, but I’m swamped, Rock.” I wave my arm around the desk.
“I’ve no issue with hiring someone. You and Jas work it out between yourselves. I can put out a job posting. Long as you’re not leavin’ for good.”
I give him a genuine smile. I like Rock. He’s kind, even though he is dark and mysterious. He’s not a total asshole like some of the brothers, namely one, nor does he treat me like I’m stupid. Which is refreshing.
“I’m not leaving for good, Rock. I promise. You’ve been good to me, and I appreciate that you let me get on with things without being overbearing or undermining.”
He gives me a chin lift. “Glad to hear it. Amazin’ what you can learn in the joint.”
“Right?” I don’t really know what to say. I don’t know a lot about why Rock was locked up for a year, but it was a minor charge, nothing bad like killing someone. He may look exactly like Jett, but he’s harder somehow.
“Gave me a reason to get on the straight and narrow. Don’t need to feel like a bird in a cage, so if you wanna fly, you can. Just come back, got me?”
I give him a grateful smile. “Thanks, Rock.”
He leans on the doorframe. “You got any cute friends?”
I laugh. “What’s wrong with me?”
I’m kidding, of course. Rock is gorgeous, just like Jett, but I’m not attracted to him in that way.
“You’re Tag’s girl.”
I open my mouth in shock, but no words come out. I shake my head and take a breath.
Before I can say anything, he buts in. “Or…not.”
“Not,” I say. “I’m not Tag’s anything. He’s an asshole, if you must know.”
“What did he do now?”
