Chapter 13

Olivia

Nerves raced through my insides as I got out of my car and stood in the busy parking garage outside of the skyscraper Luke rented their floor from. I dropped my keys three times as my hands shook.

"Get it together," I mumbled under my breath and stood up as Jeremy stopped beside the car.

"You all right?" He gave me a warm smile. "I'm Jeremy. We met-"

"I remember." I pulled the strap to my bag over my shoulder and moved up beside him. "How are you?"

"I'm great. You?" He glanced over at me and pointed to my bag. "That thing is unzipped. Looks like a tragedy waiting to happen."

I chuckled and paused outside the door to the building as the wind picked up and blew my hair all over the place.

"Damn." I walked in behind him and set my bag down on the floor beside me as I tried to tame my hair. "Why am I nervous?"

"It's a new job and a whole new group of people to impress?" He picked up my bag and handed it to me. "You're going to do great. Luke will take good care of you, and when he's out of the office, his brother, Caden, is a great coach and mentor."

"Yeah. They're both great guys." I walked to the elevator and reached for the button on the wall, hating how badly my hands were still twitching.

"I'm not sure they're both great guys." He laughed. "Caden is, but Luke is a shark. You should make sure to remember that. If it's not good for him, we aren't doing it."

I was a little surprised by Jeremy's openness, but maybe something had happened with him and Luke that left him a little more ballsy than anyone else might have been when talking about their boss.

"How long have you worked for them, and how did you start?" I moved into the elevator and held the door open as people piled in around us.

"I went to NYU with Caden. We've been friends since we were eighteen." He tilted his head a little, but his expression didn't change. Did he know about us? About me?

"Oh nice. I've been with Luke since my junior year. I had no clue he had a brother. Sad. I realize." I got out of the elevator and walked down the hall, trying hard not to let it be too obvious that I was scanning the name plates on the doors, looking for Caden.

"I'm not surprised, actually. Luke is a private man." He shrugged and stopped. "The coffee bar is right there, and the restrooms there. They have you in an office right across from me so that I can help out if Luke or Caden are out of the office for the day."

"That sounds great. I'll drop my stuff off and grab a cup-"

"Olivia, right?" A pretty petite woman with a tight dress and dark hair pulled into a bun stopped in front of us. "I'm Annie. I'm Caden's secretary, and I'll be yours as well.
