Chapter Eight

Jada

Early the next morning, my doorbell woke me up. Groggy, my hair still a mess, I stumbled to the door, rubbing my eyes, wondering who the hell was coming to see me at this hour without notice.

I was not expecting to open the door to find a jungle greeting me. Behind the jungle was an older woman, wearing a uniform that said, ‘Voley’s Flowers.’

“Jada Lincoln?” the woman said, reading from a card.

I nodded dumbly, the riot of color and sweet perfumed scents finally waking me up fully.

“Who are they from?” I asked.

“There’s a card,” she said, pushing a little electronic screen towards me. “I need you to sign here.”

I scribbled my signature and wrestled with the giant bush of flowers as she passed it over to me.

“Thanks,” I said, as a knowing feeling sunk inside me.

I juggled the vase as I walked back into my apartment and set them down on the counter, going to make myself a cup of coffee. I needed to brace myself before looking at that card. I didn’t know what to expect, but my stomach was clenched tight and I needed a minute to gather my thoughts.

As I waited for the coffee to brew, I looked at the time — 11:45 — I hadn’t even set an alarm today since I knew I wasn’t going into work. And I had slept right through my 6:30 alarm. I was usually up by then whether I had a work assignment or not, but turns out that I was super-tired. I guess working for Ivan Vetrov and trying to figure him out at the same time had drained me more than I thought. Let's not forget the sleepless nights, I laid in bed wondering if I’d ever get over the fact that he was hot as hell.

I rolled my eyes. I wasn’t stupid enough to let looks deceive me again.

Ever since I walked out yesterday, he’d been finding his way into my thoughts at the most ridiculous moments. I wasn’t sure if I’d go back to work. Ivan Vetrov didn’t know what he wanted. Or maybe he did. He was just too much of an asshole to admit that he needed more help than he cared to admit. I kind of felt sorry him. Based on my research, his work had started piling up on him right around the time he split from his ex-wife. I wasn’t even sure if he was married. My findings had been very sketchy. In either case, at one point, he had a significant other.

Finally, the coffee was finished, and I prepared my mug, sipping it slowly, still eying the bouquet like a swarm of tarantulas might crawl out of it at any minute.

I plucked the card from between the blooms and unfolded it slowly, holding my breath.

I need you. No one else will do. Come back when you’re ready.

— I. V.

My boss — my sexy, demanding, infuriating boss — had sent me the most gorgeous bouquet I’d ever seen. I tried, but I couldn’t stop smiling.
