“Of course not, Mr. Lopez.”
“What’s your name?”
“Patrick.”
“Congratulations, Patrick. You’ve been promoted.”
His brows jump. “What?”
“Go find Ryder outside and tell him I want you working on the Lake Aurora project.”

My plan to work on the Founder’s house goes beyond jealousy or my need to impress Dahlia.
It has everything to do withme.

“Probably after New Year’s.” My lips curl.
His brows rise. “You want to keep the decorations up for another six weeks? Why?”
