Chapter 10

I’ve made a huge mistake.

Xander didn’t know what he had been thinking when he said he would hire Cynder, but it definitely wasn’t this. Bent over his computer, he clenched his jaw at the sound of her giggling. He wouldn’t look over again at the conference table where she and Wyatt sat. He wouldn’t.

He …

His quick glance revealed that her eyes were on him as well. She smiled. Xander furrowed his brow and went back to the report he had been staring at for the last hour without really seeing it. Just that tiny glance sent his heart careening off some cliff in his chest. Another giggle and the sound of Wyatt’s low voice. Xander had no idea his assistant was so charming. In fact, he’d never heard him speak as much as he had in the past few hours.

It wasn’t just Wyatt who was taken with Cynder. The doctor at the urgent care had been far too hands-on as he fit her with a splint for her thumb, which thankfully was only sprained. The doctor only backed down when Xander pulled him in the hallway, handed him his credit card, and told him that he needed to keep it professional. He must have seen something in Xander’s face, because the doctor silently agreed and took the card to reception, even though Xander knew that probably wasn’t the protocol in those kinds of places.

Once at Obsidian, his staff’s reactions were just as bad. Xander caught several of the men staring or straightening their ties when Cynder walked in. Even Judy seemed enamored, acting like Xander had brought in a new girlfriend rather than a likely unqualified employee for a position that didn’t exist.

Judy brought Cynder coffee and had found a basket of muffins from somewhere when she brought up the paperwork. Now Wyatt was filling out the forms for her since she couldn’t write with the splint on her thumb. At least, that’s what Wyatt was supposed to be doing. With the way he kept running hands through his blond hair and shooting smiles to Cynder, he looked more like he was on a date. Or hoping for one.

He didn’t expect to have to watch Wyatt flirt with her right in front of him. It made sense that the two of them would become close. Xander didn’t know how old Cynder was, but she was much closer in age to Wyatt. And Wyatt could actually ask her on a date if he wanted, since Cynder wasn’t his employee, just a coworker.

The policy of not dating his employees hadn’t hit Xander until after they were in the office. He had only been thinking about seeing Cynder again, seeing her more, seeing her every day. But seeing her every day when he couldn’t have her was a completely different story.

And with her sprained thumb, she could hardly do any administrative work. The doctor said it might be a week before she would have full function or be able to use it without pain.
