The following week, Conrad couldn’t wait to get into Boswell Oil and see Tiffany. He had debated all weekend whether he should call or text her but thought he would be better not to press it. Like Boswell Senior pointed out, Tiffany was going to need time to adjust to the idea of being open to a new relationship.

He brought with him another round of coffee, knowing that at least this time he wouldn’t have to convince her to drink it.

As he entered Tiffany’s office, she raised her hand to make sure he didn’t interrupt.

“That’s right, yes, we’ll be ready to meet your demand by the time you’re rolling out your next line of homes.” There was a long pause, Tiffany looked up and rolled her eyes, then gave him a smirk. She focused back to the call a moment later. “Agreed, it will make your homes fully eco-friendly, which will entice the newer consumer who worries about carbon footprints. All right. Sounds good. I’ll talk to you at the end of the month.”

Tiffany stood from her desk and came around to greet Conrad. “I’ve never been so glad to see a cup of coffee in all my life. She reached out and took the hot drink. “It’s been a long morning.”

“Already?” Conrad questioned, glancing down at his Rolex. “It’s only 8:30 AM.”

“I’ve been here since seven, trying to talk our first solar client into not backing out. He heard that my father took a turn for the worse after the wedding, and he’s threatening to pull out. He’s worried that I won’t be able to handle the company, especially the new division, with Roger away on his honeymoon.”

“When did he leave?” Conrad inquired, leaning against the edge of the desk.

“He should be taking off today. He had to get everything situated with my nephew.”

“Who’s watching him?”

“I am,” Tiffany admitted, taking a sip of her coffee before continuing. “He’s at preschool for most of the day and then with the nanny until I get home for dinner. My mother offered to let him stay with them, but with my dad’s constant shifting in temperament, Roger and I agreed it would be better for Marcus to stay with me. We were busy all day yesterday getting him settled into my apartment so that Roger and Celeste can take off today for St. Barts.”

“Are you up for taking care of a small child? That seems like it could be a lot,” Conrad pointed out.

She shrugged. “He’s my nephew—I like spending time with him. As an added bonus, it probably pleases my parents to no end. They want nothing more than for me to settle down.”

“Why’s that?” Conrad asked with curiosity.

“Because Boswell women have their whole lives planned out from conception. Elite nannies until private prep school. Then socially and economically beneficial marriages for the sole purpose of producing lots of heirs. You wouldn’t believe how furious my dad was when I announced that I had gotten into Harvard on a full-ride scholarship and planned on attending, even if he didn’t approve.
