CHAPTER EIGHT

Paige

“Welcome back, Paige!” Jill greets me all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as I walk into the office on Wednesday morning. She’s always so chipper.

I carry my twenty ounce cup of coffee in one hand and my briefcase in the other. “Good morning, Jill,” I say, smiling at her. I continue hustling, heading straight for my office. I’m not in the mood for small talk, and I sure as hell don’t need her to start assuming shit.

Wait. Am I overreacting? What would she assume? As far as anyone knows, I was sick. Jax is the only one who received the candy gram, but he has no clue it’s from me. At least, I hope not.

Once I reach my office, I unlock the door and try not to look over my shoulder toward Jackson’s office. He may or may not be in there, but I don’t want to make any type of eye contact with him just yet. I need to prepare myself... just a little bit longer.

Once I walk in, I’m greeted by a shitload of folders scattered across my desk. Some are in stacks, practically reaching the ceiling... OK, I’m exaggerating a little, but still... this is ridiculous; I’ve only been out two days.

I move the files to the side and then place my bag and coffee down. After that, I plop down into my chair, inhaling deeply. I try not to, but I can’t help but look right into where Jackson’s office is. Lucky for me, he’s not in yet.

I let out a huge sigh of relief as I begin organizing the files on my desk. After a few moments, I log into my overflowing email account. Once it looks somewhat tidy, I take my first sip of coffee. I usually don’t bring in my own, but since I’m desperately trying to avoid people today, I decided to make sure I had some. The less I’m walking around aimlessly in the hallways, the better.

I pick my coffee cup up once more to take another sip, but I’m suddenly thrown off guard.

“Knock, knock...”

I slowly look up from behind my coffee mug. I know that voice. I could make it out in a crowd of thousands of people. That sexy, low voice... It could belong to no one else but Jackson Fierce.

As my eyes meet his, I take a quick gulp of the sip I had just taken and place my cup down onto my desk.

He chuckles nervously and takes two steps inside my office.

“Jackson. Good morning,” I say in a quiet tone.

“Hey, Paige. Feeling better?” He continues walking ‘til he reaches my desk. Damn, he looks good. The fact that no modeling agency has ever asked him to model business suits for them is beyond me. The way they fit on him like a glove makes my mouth water. He takes a seat in the chair opposite from mine and smiles at me.

Fuck, am I drooling?

I quickly put my hand up and pretend to lean my head on it, but I’m low-key wiping the corner of my mouth to check for drool.
