Chapter 14

On Monday morning, Graham slithers up to my cubicle.

“Did you have a good weekend, Noelle?” He peers at me over the rim of his coffee mug, taking sip after endless sip.

“Yeah,” I smile. “It was really nice. Thanks.”

It was beyond nice, but I’m not going to tell Graham—or anyone other than Claire—that. After waking up Sunday morning, Zach and I spent several more hours rolling around in bed. Then we had breakfast together out on the patio. A walk around the lake completed the perfect day. When it was time to leave, I had to drag myself to the car.

But now that I’m back to work, it’s time to focus on the task at hand. The most important piece I’ve ever written.

The plan I have is a risky one, but it’s worth taking. If I’m going to crash and burn, I might as well do it pursuing something worthwhile.

“Really nice?” Graham repeats, eyebrows rising. “You’re smiling awfully big there, missy.”

“Yes, Graham. Really nice. How was your weekend?”

He waves his hand. “Same old, same old. Hey, I heard you’re working on something really special for stick-up-his-ass Ford.”

I shake my head. “It’s nothing glamorous, really. Just a piece on a tech billionaire.”

“Hm.” He studies me, and I hate that I’m wondering if he thinks I only got this assignment because I’m a young, decent-looking female.

But that was only part of the reason. Ethan told me himself that my writing is good. I’m going to choose to really believe him.

“See you later.” Graham pats the flimsy partition and leaves.

I watch him go, my eyes trailing to the doorway that opens to the main hallway. Ethan’s office is down there to the left. I don’t know if he’s here today. The Franciscan Tribune is one of many papers that he owns. It was just luck that I caught him here when I stormed into his office last week.

I would love to see him, though. Not even to do anything. Just to say hello, to ask him a little bit about his weekend.

As if on cue, my cellphone buzzes. A message from Ethan.

Come to my office, he instructs.

I have to bite back a smile as I text back a quick ‘on my way’.

Standing up, I straighten my pleated skirt and grab a notebook. This summoning is either about work or something else… But I need to be prepared.

I do my best to keep my face smooth as I walk down the hall and announce myself to Ethan’s assistant. I’m sent in right away, and the door swings closed behind me.

“Noelle.” Ethan rises from behind his desk.

I swallow the ball of nerves that worked its way into my throat during my walk down the hall. Ethan is so handsome I can’t help but come undone in front of him. As he reaches for me, hands going to my waist, I count my reactions.

There’s lust. Giddiness. Guilt. I don’t know which one to believe in, so I let them all wash over me. No fighting what’s happening.
