I squeeze every minute out of my morning that I can before I finally have to leave for the office. My drive is easier than it was yesterday. I’m not worried about my relationship with Kiana, or what the future will hold for us. Things feel like they are finally headed in a positive direction, for once. I don’t even mind the hit that my bank account will take in order to pay Hudson’s debt.

I have what matters, and tonight, she’ll be in my arms again.

“Good morning, Mr. Ward!” Joanna seems more cheerful than normal. Maybe it’s just a reflection of my own view of the world right now.

“Morning.” I take my coffee from her and nod.

“Dan is waiting in your office.” She motions in that direction.

“Thanks.” I sigh.

I know why Dan is waiting in my office. He’s obviously not happy about Jack’s account. I’ll have to deal with it as tactfully as possible.

“Good morning, Dan.” I step into my office and close the door.

“Ten percent!” Dan throws his arms up. “That’s how much money Jack lost when the market opened this morning. Ten percent of his fucking investment!” Dan taps his tablet. “Wait, no—I’m sorry. Now it’s twelve percent!”

“Pennies in the bucket for him, I’m sure.” I sigh and sit down. “We’ll probably have to ride this out for a couple of days before we try to talk some sense into Jack.”

“By then he may be down fifty percent!” Dan throws his arms up again. It’s an exaggeration; at least, I sure as fuck hope it’s an exaggeration.

“We need his money. Ninety percent is better than nothing—fifty percent is better than nothing.” I take a sip of my coffee and put the cup down on my desk.

“I know we do. I just wish he would let us make him some money instead of lose it.” Dan stands up. “Sorry. That’s my vent session for today.”

“I understand.” I give him a nod. “At least you’ve got plenty of other accounts to keep you busy, so you don’t have to spend all day obsessing over Jack’s losses.”

“I’m going to do that regardless,” he mutters as he walks to the door.

Dan doesn’t like losing money. It’s a good philosophy to have when turning a profit for others is how you stay in business. I don’t like it either, but there is a finesse to using other people’s money to keep your company afloat. A lost investor is a lot worse than a few percentage points that aren’t in your favor because the stock market, or the company you’re invested in, took a nosedive.

The relationships are more important than the dollars—sometimes.

With Dan’s morning meltdown out of the way, I turn my attention to the other parts of the business that need my involvement. It’s nothing major, and my mind wanders to Kiana every time I try to focus elsewhere. Home is where I truly want to be, where she is, or at least where she will be later tonight.

“Mr. Ward.” Joanna pushes my door open.
