KINSEY

“Kinsey?”

I felt like it wasn’t the first time I’d heard my name, but I didn’t look up, didn’t tear my focus away from the email from Grey telling me that he had met with more of the women yesterday to get a sense of what they wanted. Money. That was it.

Money was something we could provide.

He said he’d be able to keep it out of the press, other than what was already out there. No court. No losing the business because of a stupid glitch.

“Boss?” That voice again.

“For fuck’s sake, Kins.” Vera shoved a mug my way. “Your very sweet assistant has been trying to get your attention since the destruction of Pompeii.”

I lifted my gaze to find Charlotte staring at me. My assistant. How weird was that? “Oh, I’m sorry.”

Vera sighed. “You’re just as bad as Eliana when she’s knuckle deep in code.”

I rubbed my eyes, realizing how tired I was. I wasn’t sure when the last time I got a good night’s sleep was. Between the lawsuit and Sebastian… there was a lot on my mind. “I’m sorry, Charlotte.”

“Oh, you can call me Charlie, boss.” She gave me a cheeky grin. There was something sweet but also impish about her.

“Then stop with the boss business.”

Vera shook her head. “Kinsey hates being called the boss. Please keep doing it.”

Charlotte offered her a salute.

I took a sip of the coffee and moaned. “That is the best coffee I’ve ever had.” Seriously, it was.

“Finally, we have someone around here who knows how to make it properly.” Vera ruffled my hair. “Charlie, you’ll find that your boss tries to do everyone’s jobs in the office, including making the coffee. And that’s like the only thing on earth she’s terrible at.”

Not true. I could think of many other things. I didn’t say that though. Talking about one’s sex life was a no-no in a professional setting, something Vera and Eliana didn’t always understand. Me? I didn’t like talking about it at all. “Well, I can let go of the coffee making if it’ll be this good.” I shot Charlotte a wink.

“That’s not all you’re letting go of.” Vera sifted through a stack of files on my desk. I’d had it on my list for ages to sort through our advertising partners and write up reports on the ones we no longer worked with. I wanted a database of everything we did, and why we made each of our decisions.

I smacked Vera’s hand away. “Leave those alone.”

“Not a chance. Everything Charlotte needs for the project is in the files. I’ve already explained it to her. You, Kinsey, darling, should not be spending your time on grunt work. That’s for the grunts. No offense, Charlie.”

Charlotte only smiled. “I can grunt with the best of them. Leave it to me.”

“Both of you, please stop saying grunt.” I got the feeling Charlotte was too much like my dear cousin.

They shared a laugh. I rolled my eyes as I stood. “V, go get Eliana. The three of us need a quick meeting.
