Any particular reason you just forwarded me someone’s resume? I texted Leigh.

I was stuck in this boring meeting with the board again, recording it secretly on my phone so that Jack could listen to all of it later. I’d opened my emails on my phone to check, and saw that Leigh had forwarded me someone’s resume.

The person seemed fairly qualified for a position as a personal assistant or minor administrative position. Bill—currently working as our receptionist, according to the resume. But that didn’t explain why Leigh would send this to me. She didn’t actually think I should promote this guy to an executive position, did she?

I received a reply almost immediately. You need a new secretary.

Why do I need a new secretary?

Because Rebecca has a crush on you and that will only lead to trouble. Put her in a junior executive position and have her oversee whichever of the employee projects you want to go with. You want her feelings to ensure loyalty, not cause awkwardness.

If Leigh had noticed that Rebecca was attracted to me, then I was sure others had as well. There was no way I wanted Jack’s reputation damaged because I was too charismatic for my own good. I appreciated Leigh’s suggestion.

Although, I couldn’t help but wonder…

So you’re not jealous and replacing her so she’s out of the way, hmm?

I received a reply a minute later: Why would I bother being jealous?

She had a point. Leigh was gorgeous, sexy, and confident. Between her and Rebecca—at least in my opinion with my personal tastes—it was no contest. Leigh had no reason whatsoever to be jealous of Rebecca. Besides, I wasn’t going to sleep with my secretary.

But weirdly, there was a part of me that wanted her to care enough to be jealous. Because I’d be jealous if—

Okay, no, that was dangerous territory. I definitely didn’t care if other men wanted Leigh, or if Leigh wanted other men. She was just another fling at the end of the day. A smoking hot and witty fling who was actually educated, someone I could hold a conversation with, but she wasn’t special.

All right, yes, she was special. She could keep up with me. She was funny and educated. She was exactly what I wanted in bed and was submissive, eager, and up for anything. She let me collar her and toy with her.

That didn’t mean that I was going to let myself feel anything for her beyond attraction. Especially not any kind of jealousy. Leigh wasn’t mine and I shouldn’t want her to be. I just had to keep reminding myself of that. I hadn’t been tempted by any of the other women I’d had affairs with over the years, why should Leigh be any different?

The meeting wrapped up and I took the opportunity to grab David Weston, the company lawyer. “Hey, David, I was hoping that I could get some advice from you on what to do with my uncle’s estate? The personal things, I mean. I don’t necessarily want to keep them.
