It's 6:00 am Monday morning. I just got to the office, and I haven't seen Lennox or my car since Saturday. After leaving my Silver Creek house, I returned to my condo to see Vivian off to the airport. She told me I was being absurd and unfair. Even after I explained everything about Ellis and the Serra Estate. It took every ounce of my self control not to tell her my secret just to bring her to my side. But she doesn't know my history with Lennox or what she means to me. And at the end of the day, my secret isn't just mine alone. It's hers, too.

Lennox returned to my house on Sunday, but I wasn't there. I pulled up the feed and watched her walk around the place. It was clear she knew she had messed up. In my master, she sat on the edge of the bed and cried before curling up in its center and falling asleep. It took every ounce of strength I had not to drive back before she got up, but I had to stand my ground on this. She left that morning with no note, not even a text, and I know she left intentionally before I got back. If she wants to hide and keep secrets, that's fine, but all she'll ever be is a club girl.

I wanted to make sure I was in before her today. While I don't plan on firing her, I'm still determining how I want to proceed. I can't keep playing this game. I need someone in the position she currently occupies at work, but it can't continue to be her. Pulling out my phone, I call Christopher. He answers on the first ring. "Good Morning, Mason. What can I do for you today?"

I swear he's always borderline condescending, and it pisses me off, but he's good at his job, so I let it slide. "I need you in my office as soon as you get in. We need to discuss relocating Lennox."

I hear him sigh on the other end, and I can't help but clench my jaw in annoyance. I know I've filtered through too many EAs, but at least I'm not firing her like the others. "Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes."

As soon as I hang up the phone, Lennox enters her office. My door is closed and locked, and I don't miss how she takes a second to notice before making her way to her desk. The door to my office is typically closed and locked, but Lennox has yet to experience that since she's worked here. I've intentionally left it open because of her, and now it's closed because of her.

She looks fucking edible. I would expect nothing less. She's dressed to kill, and I hate it because she knew I'd play this card. It's the back-and-forth we've played since day one. Walking this fine line between all-in and fuck off. I hate feeling like she's bested me in that regard.
