Noah stood on the front porch of the Montgomery home and sighed. He checked his phone again hoping to see a response from Lily, but so far, she was suspiciously silent. He’d driven by the guesthouse first, but her car wasn’t there. Now he was more than a little nervous about this spur-of-the-moment invitation to lunch from William.

Letting out a long breath, he straightened and rang the bell. He knew he was just being overly apprehensive; after all, this wasn’t the first time he’d been invited to the house.

But it was the first time he’d been invited since he started secretly sleeping with William’s granddaughter.

I’m so screwed.

“Noah!” William said brightly as he opened the door. “Glad you could make it! Come on in!” He clapped Noah on the shoulder as he entered. “I appreciate you indulging me a bit today. After being out of the office for most of the week, I was feeling a little out of the loop.”

“I hope everything’s okay,” Noah said as they walked toward the kitchen. “I heard you were dealing with a difficult client in Raleigh.”

William chuckled before walking over to the refrigerator. “There was no difficult client,” he admitted. “I had to have a mildly invasive medical procedure done. Of course, I don’t want that getting out around the office, but I know I can trust you to keep that to yourself.”

All he could do was nod.

“Can I get you a drink? Water? Sweet tea? Soda? Beer?”

“Um…a soda. Please.” Glancing around, he wondered if he should take a seat at the kitchen table or the massive island and waited to take his cues from William.

“Let’s go inside and chat,” William said before leading him into the family room. “Obviously I didn’t want anyone to know about my little health crisis, so I instructed Sara to tell anyone who asked that I was in Raleigh dealing with a client.” He took a sip of his tea. “How are things going for you? Are you able to keep up with all your clients and the ones my sons put you in charge of?”

He nodded. “It’s kept me very busy, but everything’s under control. I had a few lengthy calls with a couple of them, but I was able to put everyone’s minds at ease.” Then he laughed softly. “But I’ll be glad when the guys get back and I can pass all those files back to them.”

“I can imagine.” William paused a moment. “I really appreciate you coming over today. I wanted the chance to speak with you without the usual prying eyes around the office.”

“O-kay…”

“This health issue of mine has got me thinking,” he began after a moment. “I wasn’t interested in retiring, and I’m still not, but I believe I’m going to be less present in the office moving forward. Over the last several years, I’ve talked to my sons a bit about how things would look if and when I ever retired. Jason would take over for me; that’s already been decided.”

“Really?” Noah asked, surprise lacing his voice.
