Chapter 6

Thursday night, Xander was working late in his office. He was tired, irritated by a lack of progress on certain cases, his brothers were looking at him strangely and he hadn’t seen Autumn all day today. He realized at this moment how much just the sight of her helped him get through the day. When she passed by his office or he saw her in the kitchen or a conference room, it made him feel good. He might not be able to hold her in his arms, but her smile warmed his heart.

Xander tossed the paper to the side of his desk, rubbing his forehead wearily. He was irritated with a client he’d met with earlier in the day who was demanding everything from her husband. The husband had supported his client for the past twenty years, giving her just about anything she wanted. The woman had a huge house on Lake Shore Drive, spent her days shopping and eating in the best restaurants with her friends, throwing elaborate parties, not many of which were for her husband’s business connections. Hell, she walked around with a five thousand dollar purse on her wrist and two thousand dollar shoes.

Her husband had cheated, which Xander didn’t condone, but now the woman wanted everything in the settlement. But it wasn’t in Xander’s nature to be unfair. In this case, he suspected that the woman was either having an affair, or didn’t even care that her husband had cheated on her. In his opinion, she was only using this as an excuse to divorce him and take him for everything.

He was leaning back in his chair, trying to figure out how to convince his client to leave her husband with at least one set of clothes and a few bucks in his bank account when he heard a noise. It was late enough that the office should be cleared out. There were always the superstar lawyers that were trying to impress by staying later than the boss, but this was going too far, he thought. Everyone needed balance in their lives and staying in the office working until ten o’clock at night was ridiculous.

Getting up, he followed the sounds, finally locating the late nighter in the copy room. And in this particular case, he didn’t mind the person working late. Not one little bit.

Leaning against the metal door frame of the copy room, he watched with fascination as Autumn walked barefoot from the copier to the work counter, collating charts and graphs. He had no idea what case she was working on or what system she was going to try and convince the four of them to buy into next. All he cared about was watching her, fascinated by her cute toes that curled up against her calf as she tried to relax the muscles in her legs.

She was shorter than he’d thought. It shouldn’t have been such a surprise, since she always wore three inch heels to give everyone a false sense of her actual height.
