Chapter Ten

Jack

I took the longest, coldest shower of my life, then got dressed and headed to the office.

But before I made my way through the famous wrought iron Murphy gates, I stopped at the same café I met Grace at for our meeting that was interrupted by Jane Pawsten and the vet.

She was sitting at her desk, not bothering to look up from the computer when I approached and sat a Styrofoam cup of tea in front of her.

“I promised you a cuppa that I never got to finish making,” I whispered, leaning in so only she could hear and not any of the gossiping employees.

No acknowledgment from the strong-willed girl, but I accepted that. A challenge never stopped me before.

Tapping on her chair, I headed into my office where Connor was perched on the corner of my desk.

I scowled, glancing at my watch. The last person I wanted to see was my smirking brother. “We aren’t supposed to meet for another hour.”

He laughed as I breezed past him, hanging my suit jacket on the leather wingback chair.

“I’m not here on business-business, but I think we both know that.”

I had a feeling a certain blonde former assistant may have done some talking. But I feigned innocence and shook my head. “Not sure what you mean.”

He stood up, crossing his arms over his chest. “You know exactly what I mean. I’m talking about you spending the evening with your assistant who also happens to be Sean’s best mate. By the shifty look in your eyes, I’m guessing the drinks at the pub turned into something more. Especially since the barista at the café told me she saw you right before me this morning. The only reason you’d be in the neighborhood that early and not at work is if you never went home.”

I swore under my breath. I knew I should have just gone home or to SuperMacs down the road. But I just had to be a gentleman. And I couldn’t fight the feeling that I wanted to see Grace again that morning before work with something more than just banter.

“So is she the one?” Connor asked, his voice raising slightly with elation.

I shook my head. “The one? Are you mad? She’s my assistant. We barely know each other.”

He held up a finger. “Technically you’ve known each other since we were kids, so she’d be a perfect match. Board wouldn’t even question a proposal, and by the way she looks at you, there’s a thin line between wanting to fight you and wanting to feck your brains out.”

I scowled at his brash choice of words. He didn’t know anything about Grace’s and my relationship. She wasn’t just one of these birds I’d take home from the pubs for a quick shag.

Though I didn’t know what she was either and that’s what had my stomach twisting in knots.

“There is nothing going on between us. I walked her home from the pub because she was a bit knackered. And I don’t know what the hell you’re getting at talking about her as the one.
