Morning comes, and weâre off to our own corners. Sheâs finishing the mural, and Iâm in my office. But I want to sit in the lobby and watch her work all day. She gets the cutest thing happening when sheâs focused-she purses her lips and makes the slightest expressions that tell me when she likes something or when she wants to change it. Iâm not sure if she even knows that she does it. I sigh at the memory of her sweet facial tics.
Ray knocks and walks in, closing the door behind herself. âGood morning, Mr. Rhodes.â Her face is stiff and set, like her gray dress which is ironed to perfection. Tall black heels make her tower over me at my seat.
âGood morning, Ray.â
She looks at me but doesnât speak.
âWill you be joining me today?â
âI need to know whatâs going on.â
âYou mean that thing I said about Britney? I wasnât serious about getting back with her. I was just-
âI know. You were pissed, because you thought Valerie had slept with Noah. And I know youâre not pissed anymore, because you came into the lobby with your hand on her ass, so no, this is not about Britney.â
I frown. âWhat is it then?â
âI am worried about the grand opening.â
âOh. Well, weâre nearing completion, just some superficial tweaks-

âOf course. This project is already nearing budget, and if we go over, your parents will never let you takeover Rhodes Resorts. Never in a hundred years would they approve such a thing. What are you doing?â
âMy job,â Iâm getting tired of her questions. âWhat are you doing, Ray?â
âMy job,â she snaps, âYou told me when you hired me to help you stay on the straight and narrow for the duration of this project. You told me to stop you from making dumbass decisions, and until now, we have been a team. But instead of being on the straight and narrow, youâve gone way off course at the last minute, and I donât know how to stop you. How the hell do you expect me to do my job, when you donât include me on anything? You donât tell me anything-I had to find out about it all secondhand from the staff, like Iâm some kind ofâ¦â
âEmployee?â I ask. âDonât forget, Ray, thatâs what you are.â
âAnd you are running yourself into the ground over that woman.â
My face drops and my blood pressure rises, âWhat did you say?â
âIf you werenât infatuated with Valerie, a girl youâve known less than a month let me remind you, then you wouldnât be making all of her last minute changes and throwing everything into chaos right before the grand opening. You would be as laser focused as I am on getting you the keys to the kingdom. But instead, that damn hippie has
