Chapter 22

Chelsea

The next week flew by so quickly I could hardly believe it. Between my work in the tech department and my duties working with the executives, it was like I blinked and it was Friday.

Other than a few check-ins here and there, along with our rides home, I didn’t even see that much of Bryce. He seemed just as busy as I’d been, and he was apparently respecting my decision to try to keep things somewhat professional.

At least, as professional as a fake engagement could be.

I strode into the office feeling confident. After saying my hellos to the staff, I entered my office and took a seat at my desk. My office was in an elevated position, next to Walsh’s and Becca’s. From where I sat, I had a full view of the entire tech department.

Dozens of employees were busy at work, typing up code and answering phones and having meetings. As I sat and watched, I wondered if I was really the girl for the job, if I’d really be able to run this entire department all by myself.

Baby steps, I repeated in my mind. Don’t get ahead of yourself, Chelsea—that’s the easiest way to stumble.

I turned to my computer and prepared to get started on the morning’s emails. Since becoming the liaison to the executives, more and more tech department employees had been coming to me for questions and concerns.

It had occurred to me that this wasn’t an accident—I figured if Bryce wanted to see if I were CTO material, he’d start me off by having me be the go-to employee for the department. So far I was keeping my head above water. But it was hard work, and it was different than the software development I was used to.

Just as I pressed the power button, however, a knock sounded from my office door. A quick glance revealed that it was Bess. She waved through the glass, as if I wouldn’t be able to see her. I gestured for her to come in.

“Hey!” she said in her usual extremely energetic voice. “Morning!”

Bess plopped into the chair across from me.

“Go ahead,” I said with a smile. “Get comfortable.”

“Don’t mind if I do,” she said, sitting back.

A few beats of silence passed as she regarded me with an extremely expectant expression.

“What?” I asked.

“What do you mean ‘what’? I want to know how things are going with you and the man upstairs. And I don’t mean in the religious sense.”

My eyes went wide. “Are you crazy?” I said, bouncing up from my seat and rushing over to the office door and locking it. “You’re seriously talking about that at the office?”

“Don’t be so paranoid,” said Bess. “These offices are sound tight. You could murder someone in here, and no one would notice.”

“That’s…morbid,” I said with a smirk. “But seriously, that’s not really the kind of secret I want getting out. I probably shouldn’t have even told you.”

“Why wouldn’t you tell your best friend that you’re getting fake-married?” she said. “You honestly think that you could keep something this exciting to yourself?”

She was right.
