Chapter Thirteen

Call him.

No!

Talia twirled in her office chair. The same argument rewound in her head all day. Since she’d left Tomas’s house, she hadn’t been able to find her Prada sunglasses, and she wanted to call and ask if he’d found them, but knowing him he’d think she’d purposely left them there as an excuse to get back in touch.

Groaning, she buried her head in her hands. Enough already!

She had work to do and had skipped lunch to prepare for a meeting with Jay and others on the executive team but hadn’t made much headway. If she grabbed a snack from the vending machine, she could appease her empty stomach and spend the next thirty minutes or so preparing for the meeting.

She rose from the chair and walked across her office, running through the checklist of items she had to complete before the end of the day. She opened the door but pulled up short when she saw Tomas standing on the other side, smiling and talking to her secretary at her desk. Their cozy little tête-à-tête fueled her anger at him.

“What are you doing here?”

Lillian jumped guiltily to her feet. “I was about to call and let you know you have a visitor.”

Talia’s lips tightened and she folded her arms over her chest. “I said, what are you doing here?”

She shot daggers at Tomas and knew she was being a bitch, but damn him for looking so delicious without even trying, with a rough ponytail, wearing a pair of distressed jeans and another T-shirt that he knew good and well was too small when he bought it. No other man she knew managed to look so good with such little effort.

“I came to talk to you, if it’s not too much to ask,” he said.

She wanted to slap the smirk off his face.

“About what?”

“Would you like me to discuss it in front of Lillian?”

The way he said her secretary’s name sounded intimate, as if they’d known each other for a long time. Her gaze bounced between them, noting Lillian’s flushed cheeks and how she couldn’t meet her gaze.

“Hold my calls.”

Talia stalked back into her office and expected him to follow, but of course he did so on his own time. She could hear him outside talking to Lillian in a low voice and they laughed again, infuriating her more. He finally came in, shut the door, and walked over to her desk like he had nowhere to go and nothing to do and expected the same of her.

“So this is where you work.” He surveyed the room.

“Make it fast. I have a lot of work to do.” She sat down and crossed her legs.

He reached into the pocket of his jeans and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. Her sunglasses. Holding them up, he asked, “Look familiar?”

She straightened in the chair. “Where did you find them?”

“Where you put them, under the table in the kitchen.”

“I did not put them there. They must have fallen out of my purse when I put it on the table.
