Catching up on the analysis I'd missed in my absence seemed like a never-ending project. Usually, I entered values daily to keep it from getting to be too much for me to do in one sitting.

I'd never had a greater appreciation for that system but trying to get caught up meant that it felt like the rest of my job duties just fell by the wayside in the meantime. But I also knew that Jasper depended on those numbers, a quick check and balance to be sure that his people were managing funds appropriately without him having to take the time to do it himself. Being the only person he trusted with the task had always been flattering and one of the achievements in my life I felt truly proud to own.

Even if it wasn't the career path I'd ever seen for myself, I was good at it. I defied all those people who said I'd end up a cleaning lady for the rest of my life if I tried to reach too far. Like mother, like daughter, like there was something shameful about her job.

I just didn't have a domestic bone in my body. I couldn't cook, and my cleaning tended to leave a trail of dirt behind.

I couldn't handle it. It had been something Connor complained about constantly, even if we had a housekeeper. I wasn't a slob; I picked up after myself. I just didn't scrub the shower or clean the kitchen I didn't use.

Lino seemed to find it endearing, never complaining once when he had to cook every night or order in if he didn't feel like it. He'd known who I was when he married me, so committing to that woman and then complaining about those things would have been ridiculous.

Why marry someone you wanted to change?

When the door to the offices shoved open, I didn't even glance up from the files opened on my computer. "I'll be with you in just a moment," I said politely, noting down the numbers on my spreadsheet before turning my eyes up to the man who glared down at me.

I knew who he was, and I knew exactly why he could have been so angry—though how he'd found out was beyond me. "What can I do for you, Sir?" I asked, standing up from behind my desk to be level with the man. If nothing else, I hated when a man towered over me with anger in his eyes, but I swallowed down my moment of panic.

"I need to speak to Jasper Rowe, immediately," Jim Clarke hissed at me, leaning forward to grip the edge of my desk so that we were eye level. I forced a bitchy smile to my face, glancing around him to look at the closed door of Jasper's office. As if I didn't know exactly what his schedule dictated for the hour.

"I'm afraid that won't be possible. Mr. Rowe is with a client." I took my seat, picking up my highlighter and turning back to my analysis.
