CHAPTER ELEVEN

Claire strolled into the office and stopped short. There were several people waiting to be interviewed, but she paused at the sight of Matt greeting one of them. What the hell was he doing there? Her heart skipped a beat as she studied him. Damn him for being so handsome. His dark brown hair had grown longer than usual in the time he’d been convalescing, adding a rakish look to his already devastating handsomeness. He turned toward her, the corners of his mouth lifting when he noticed her. His pale blue eyes burned with a fire she’d never seen before. She gulped back a lump in her throat.

“What’s going on?” she asked, her tone sharper than intended.

“You’re interviewing today. I decided to take a part in the process since I’ll be working closely with the person hired.”

She had a feeling he’d say exactly that. It didn’t make her happy knowing he decided to insinuate himself into the middle of the interviews. He had every right to be there. It was his firm, and she was the lowly legal assistant that helped them run things. She should have realized he’d do something at some point. He’d not been happy when she told him about the interviews, and this was his way of extracting control over it. Of course the jerk could see now too, so why wouldn’t he?

She still couldn’t believe he’d kept that bit of information from her. What if he lied about when it returned? Could she trust him when he kept something so important from her? She wanted to, but she couldn’t bring herself to let go of his betrayal. Claire had trusted him, and he’d abused that gift. It would take a lot for her to forgive him. He was supposed to be better than all the others who’d come before him. It was disconcerting to realize he wasn’t as perfect as she’d thought.

“I don’t need you here.” She stared over his shoulder and counted. There were four individuals waiting for an interview. Three males and one female sat in the reception area. “I told you this is preliminary. The secondary interviews can be conducted by you and Dani.”

“Why bother?” He raised an eyebrow. “I’m here, and we can finish it today. Hire someone we like and call it good.”

She took a deep breath and prayed for patience. “Fine.” He did have a point. It would save time, and Dani would trust their judgment. Claire wondered if Dani knew Matt had regained his sight. Did he keep it from everyone or just her? “I’m supposed to meet Dani for lunch later. I can tell her about our decision when I go.” Then she could ask her how much she’d been aware of Matt’s sight.

“Then let’s get started.”

She shook her head. “Give me five minutes. I have to do a couple of things. Meet me in the conference room.”

What she didn’t say was she needed time to get her bearings. Seeing him in the office had stirred something deep inside of her.
