Chapter Fifteen

JULIAN GLANCED OVER when he heard the ding from the elevator. Doreen had come back halfway through the movie, so this must be the cases he ordered for Hayley.

“Mr. Nicholson, your package.”

Julian took the large white envelope from Doreen and handed it to Hayley. “Happy birthday.”

Her brows drew together, then rose. “How did you get the cases here so quickly?”

“I have a standing FedEx account. I asked the company for their closest fulfillment center and got FedEx to pick it up.”

She laughed softly. “You didn’t have to do that. I didn’t mind waiting.”

“I wanted to get it to you on your birthday.” He leaned forward as she opened the envelope. “They aren’t really expensive. You can definitely afford it, so why didn’t you just get it for yourself when you saw the video?”

“My current case works just fine.”

The transparent cover had already yellowed, and the pink metal rim around it had so many scratches that some parts had turned white.

“You really got one for Leanne.”

“Why else did you think I asked?”

“There’s one more in here.” She pulled it out. “Who’s this for?”

“Myself. It looked good.” He took the box from her and put it aside.

She struggled with removing her current case, so Julian took her phone from her and helped her with it.

“Stop,” she said when he tried to scratch the screen protector out. “What are you doing?”

“It comes with a new screen protector.”

“But mine works just fine.”

Julian tipped his head to the side and studied her for a moment. “For someone so rich, you’re pretty frugal.”

“Do you know what my job used to be?”

“You had a job?”

“Kind of. My parents have a budget set aside for philanthropy work. Every month, I go through the tons of letters we receive from people asking for money. All I do is read about how people need money for various reasons, so I always feel bad when I spend frivolously.”

He thought about what she’d said. “But this isn’t spending frivolously. If your screen cracked, you’d have to spend additional money to get it fixed. That’s a lot more expensive than a free screen protector. Besides, this is a gift.”

She pinched her lips. “You’re right.”

He handed Hayley back the phone when he was done with it, then clipped the phone casing onto his bare phone. “Speaking of money, why don’t you send me all the bills you’ve been paying? I’ll get the money transferred to your account.”

“It’s okay.”

“I insist.”

“Perhaps you could write a check for Dale Andrews’ work instead.”

The bioengineer working with him?

“He’s trying to create a smaller version of the system he’s been using with you so more people will be able to benefit from his study.”

Something was wrong with him. Everything Hayley said just made him want to kiss her. “I’ll do that too.” He pushed his wheelchair further back from Hayley so he wouldn’t be tempted to kiss her the way he did in the car. “So, is this how you spend all your birthdays?”

“Sometimes I’d go on vacation with Casas.
