Two hours later, she doesn’t knock, just barges in with the bouquet of pink lilies and purple irises I sent. She sets them in the middle of my desk, on top of everything and right in front of me. Her thinned eyes carry enough spite it causes my skin to hurt. She storms back out and my amusement turns into a chuckle. I should’ve thought the flower thing through.

The next to enter my office isn’t the blonde bombshell I was hoping for. Instead, I’m greeted by the arrogant smile of Zach.

“Someone sent you beautiful flowers.” His laugh is flavored with sarcasm. “Thought you were dead set on Z?” He throws his thumb over his shoulder toward the door.

I tip my chin to the vase. “They’re hers.”

“The point is to give them to her. Not admire them yourself, you narcissistic dickhead.” He smirks like a smug ass.

I lift a brow and blow out a breath.

Realization registers in his peanut brain. “She gave them back?” he sputters with a belly laugh, shaking his head and slapping his leg. “What the hell have you done that caused her to give back the flowers? Must’ve been something big.”

“She’s just leery of me,” I answer honestly, moving to the table.

Zach spreads out a set of blueprints. “Do you blame her?”

“She’ll come around.”

“Or you’ll find another interest,” he says casually. “You’ve been celibate for too long trying to prove a hopeless point. Your dick will go in search for something to dip into soon.”

I snap a glower at him and then tap the table to change the course of the subject. “Provident?”

He shakes his head. “I was propositioned with Mid-City last week. Estimation of renovation completed in eight months. They want to gut the entire building down to its studs and revamp. There’s no security, burglary, or fire. Figured I’d let you take a peek before it hits the desks of everyone else. You’d be contracted through me. Oh, and fair warning. The architect is a prickly bastard, vain and just a plain asshole.”

I don’t mind assholes. “Start date?”

“We roll in two weeks from Monday.”

“My crew wouldn’t begin for another few months. They’d get a floor done every two to three days, depending on the design,” I think out loud.

“If you don’t think you can do it, I can always go to Edgerdale Alarms.”

Jesus, he’s being a smug shithead.

“I need to get with the PMs.” I slap his shoulder. “Give me until tomorrow afternoon to give you a definite answer.”

He rolls up the set of prints and grabs the one I’m excited for. Spreading them down, we begin to go over the details when there’s a light tap on the door. Zoey carries four large Styrofoam containers and sets them on the opposite side of the table without casting a glance to us. She disappears into my closet and returns with two bottles of water.

“I included salad too. Do you need anything else?” When she finally looks at me there’s a whirlwind of perturbation.

I grin in an attempt to ease her.
