Chapter Fifteen

“Why don’t you take a shower and change into something else? I have to run downstairs and talk to Nana and brief Melanie on what I need her to take care of for me. I came straight up to make sure you were okay.”

This man knew exactly what to say and when to say it. The fact that he made me his priority after he had one of the worst days of his life was impressive—and heartwarming. I could easily get accustomed to a man treating me like that—especially a rich one.

“I appreciate that so much. However, I am fine. My concern is for you. Why don’t you go shower and change? You can tell me what you need Melanie to know, and I’ll brief her. As for Nana, I am sure she understands you want to get comfortable before you come down.”

“Where have you been all my life?” he joked.

“Possibly waiting for you,” I joked back. Actually, I was only half joking, because I was half serious.

“Girl, you better stop talking like that. That kind of talk will get you another ring on your finger, and this time it will mean something.”

This man is about to get it.

“Go on to your room before you start something.” I playfully slapped him on the shoulder. “What about dinner? Have you eaten?”

“I’m not really that hungry. This day has totally drained me. I would be handling it a lot worse if you were not here. Melanie and my entire staff should really thank you for my good mood.”

“I don’t think Melanie will be thanking me for anything,” I mumbled.

“What do you mean?”

“She is really concerned about who I am to you, and has made it very clear that she is the queen bee around here and the soon to be Mrs. Carson. I think the only reason she is not more concerned than she is, is the fact that I am married. If it were not for that, I think she would have already found a way to get rid of me by now.”

“Melanie is delusional. She is also very intimidated by any woman I have over for company. I am not a fool—I know she wants me. However, what I feel for her is like what one feels for a little sister. She is good at what she does executively, and that is as far as it will ever go.”

“Speaking of company, why do you have so many female items in this bathroom?”

“To be honest, I bought all these things for the woman I was engaged to. I just never got rid of them because I knew one day the right woman would come along and appreciate my acts of kindness. I got rid of the things that she used and wore, and kept what was untouched.”

“I see. Well, you have splendid taste, sir.”

“I do the best I can.”

“Whatever. You know you are the boss,” I said, flashing my best smile. “So . . . boss, what are your instructions
