Chapter Twelve

“Seems like you’ve got a suitor.” Liam’s humorless laugh reverberates throughout my office as he saunters inside, carelessly throwing his jacket onto one of my chairs before flinging himself onto another one. His eyes twinkle with curiosity.

“Is that so?" My gaze flickers up from my laptop, eyebrows raised.

“Cole is sitting in the waiting area,” he says, his eyebrow slowly wandering up. Around lunchtime, Peggy let me know he was here for me, her eyes full of unspoken questions burning a hole into the side of my head. To her credit, she didn’t pry. On the way to the kitchen, I told Cole, in no uncertain terms, to leave. Then again, considering our last conversation, what did I expect to happen?

“According to Peggy, he insists on ‘doing the wooing in person now’,” he says, using his fingers for air quotes as the corners of his mouth twitch into a nosy smile. “What’s up with that?”

I sigh and sink deeper into my chair, hiding my face in my hands as I feel heat rising into my cheeks. “I can’t believe he’s still sitting there. I told him to leave three hours ago.”

“That guy is persistent,” he remarks and lets out a whistle. “I respect that.”

“I know.” I scowl. “He’s a menace.” The look Liam shoots me tells me that he doesn’t believe me.

“And he’s so damn nice,” he adds, a note of surprise in his voice. “Holding elevator doors open, greeting everyone coming and leaving. Weren’t Hystoria members supposed to be assholes?”

I have no answer to that, so I only shrug. “He’s so nice that Peggy even offered him a coffee.” I can’t help but chuckle.

“I hope he declined,” I say and sit back up.

“He didn’t, but he smiled through the pain, as she slurped her green tea.” Liam shakes his head as he laughs, and I have to grin. “When I saw him, I was about to let hands fly for what he did to you, but I figured Peggy’s coffee is punishment enough. For now, at least.”

Peggy is the poorest coffee brewer in the office. I don’t know how, but that lady even manages to screw up an espresso on a completely automatic coffee machine. This doesn’t bother her, however, since she only drinks tea.

“Speaking of tea, how was the kiss?” Liam leans over my table to watch me up close, his eyes twinkling with curiosity. “Spill!”

“Wow, that was quite a stretch,” I tease him. Minutes after Cole left my house, I sent Liam a voice message, which was less about the details of the kiss and more about me trying to sort my thoughts aloud. I promised to fill him in the next time we saw each other, so I am not surprised that he couldn’t even wait a day. Gossip queen.

“It was quick.” I clear my throat. “Then it was painful for him, probably.” I shrug.

Liam’s jaw drops. “What?” he almost shouts, amusement showing in the wrinkles forming around his eyes.

“I slapped him,” I say sheepishly and look down shyly.
