Chapter Thirteen

We’re never going to be able

to say no to him again, are we?

~ Julien & Priest

JULIEN STEPPED OUT of the bustling Chicago street Wednesday afternoon and into the elegant marble lobby of the building that housed Mitchell & Madison. He’d called ahead of time to check if Priest was back from his morning in court, and then Julien had suggested he swing by with lunch.

After their weekend up at the Bianchis’, the two of them had realized it was going to take some stealthy planning to pull off any kind of surprise engagement for someone as curious as Robbie. So they’d decided their best course of action was to only talk about it away from the house, where inquisitive ears might overhear.

Julien got in the elevator and punched the button for Priest’s floor, and as he leaned up against the back wall, several other people got on including…

“Julien. Hello,” Logan Mitchell said.

“Bonjour. How are you?” Julien asked.

“Good. Good. Just getting back from a lunch meeting. You?”

Julien held up the black bag with his name on it. “Just going to one.”

“I’d never usually be jealous of Priest, but I’ve got to say, having lunch delivered from your restaurant makes me a little green.”

Julien grinned. “I find that feeding him keeps him agreeable.”

“I’ll have to remember that,” Logan said, and slipped a hand into his pocket. “He said you guys had a good time up at the Bianchis’ this weekend.”

“We did. Robbie’s family is exactly as you’d imagine them to be.”

“So, loud, excitable, and all talking a mile a minute?”

Julien started to laugh, thinking of Robbie’s sisters. “Exactly like that. They’re wonderful. It was really quite remarkable to see.”

“I’m sure.” Logan chuckled. “And you made it back in one piece. I was a little worried we’d be down a partner after this.”

“Oui. We survived. We even managed to win over his parents.”

As the elevator hit the floor and the doors slid open, Julien stepped out.

“I have no problem seeing that with you,” Logan said. “But Priest? I would be lying if I didn’t say I was slightly concerned.”

Julien walked with Logan toward the receptionist, and when she looked up, Logan said, “Any calls, Tiffany?”

“No,” she said with a winning smile. “But Sherry’s looking for you.”

“Got it. If you see her before I do, can you let her know I’m back?”

“Will do,” she said, and then turned her eyes toward Julien. “Mr. Priestley said you can head straight back, as long as you brought food.”

Logan glanced over his shoulder at Julien, who held the bag up. “I don’t know about this jovial side of Priest. Him making wisecracks just doesn’t seem right.”

Julien followed Logan down the hall past the clear walls of the conference room. “He’s happy.”

“Exactly. It’s disturbing,” Logan said, and when they reached the doors that led into Logan’s office, he stopped with his hand on the door handle. “Have a good lunch, and if he happens to leave any leftovers…”

“He never does,” Julien said, and waved as Logan disappeared inside his office and called out, “It was worth a try.
