"Perfect task for me, Miss! I'll get right to it!"
She was out of the office before I could roll my eyes fast enough.
"A part of me feels sorry for her stupidity."
I shook my head, walked over to the speaker on my desk, and clicked the button, knowing it would reach Saint.
"What's the problem, Sweet Blossoming Flower?" he greeted.
"Who the fuck hired that dandelion of a secretary?" I practically hissed.
Saint whistled before replying, "Damn. Did she try to hit on Dimitris or something?"
I actually growled and I could literally hear Saint swallow the lump in his throat.
"Willow, are you‘okay’okay?"
"Fine and dandy," I dryly stated. "I sent that lost soul to the old building. Let the guards interrogate her until she cries and never wants to work in a corporation again."
"She totally pissed you off," Saint acknowledged.
"While we're on a roll, you can tell HR that if they send me one more incompetent secretary, I'll fire every single one of them and take Dubai's offer of a new team with the additional bonus technology they're contributing, free of charge."
"I'll forward the message this instant," he assured me.
"Good," I huffed. "Thanks, Saint."
"Want me to clear Dimitris's remaining schedule?" he inquired, and I was sure the sneaky playboy romantic knew I was fucking pissed.
"Clear his fucking schedule and make sure no one interrupts us. Anyone asks, he's fucking napping."
"Yes, Willow," he assured me. "Should Jayce be on stand-by?"
"To drag Dimitris’s body?" I tossed back.
Saint chuckled. "I know you don't mean that," he reasoned.
"And why not?"
"You wouldn't let Jayce do that," Saint offered. "That's something Neo would do for fun."
Okay. He had a point.
"I'll probably leave early, so I want Jayce nearby seeing as my own bodyguard ain't around."
"Viktor isn't on the property again?" Saint didn't seem pleased about it, but I was already too annoyed to care.
"No," I concluded. "I'm getting back to work."
"Alright," he replied, but quickly added, "Willow?"
"What?"
"If you want to talk or just want a hug, say the word and I'll be there."
I actually paused in pressing the end button to take in his words, the mere softness in his voice taming my short fuse.
"I'll keep that in mind, Saint," I whispered and inhaled deeply through my nose then let it out. "Thank you."
