Chapter 8

Preston Pierce was hard at work with Sophie seated across the desk from him taking dictation as he worked his way through the beginnings of another deal. After things had ended between he and Charlotte, the only thing Preston had left was his work, and he had thrown himself into it headfirst, clinging onto things here at Pierce Industries like it was the only thing keeping him afloat.

And maybe that was true. It was the one thing he had left now that she was out of his life. He couldn’t bring himself to go out with anyone else, or even to give a call to one of his old female friends to keep him company once she was gone. All the relationships he had had before her seemed shallow in comparison and they were all just a pale shadow of what he really wanted in his life.

Sophie kept making snide little comments about Charlotte with every chance that she got. His assistant wasn’t going to let him walk away from things without making sure he knew how badly he had messed all of this up all over again. It seemed like the things that kept coming between the two of them were always failings on his part.

However, today she seemed entirely focused on the work in front of them, for the most part at least. She glanced down at her phone a time or two as notifications of messages came in, though that was part of her job. Sophie was responsible for keeping his schedule and for running interference on messages that were supposed to come through to him, so answer a text message or two while the two of them were working wasn’t anything unusual. What was strange was the next thing that came out of her mouth.

“So, you’ve got a last-minute meeting coming in at four thirty this afternoon.” She glanced up from her phone to him, keeping her face absolutely unreadable as she nonchalantly announced a change in his schedule.

“And just who in the hell is coming in to see me at the last minute this afternoon and why did you agree to let them?” He knit his eyebrows together. Normally, she didn’t change his schedule without a very good reason and she rarely did it without consulting him first. The fact that she had both changed his meetings around and done so without even bringing it up until forty-five minutes before the event was happening meant it was something that was a potential emergency, though she was keeping the details of what was about to happen under her hat.

“Not saying.” She looked down at the stack of paper in her lap, making some marks to correct the phrasing of something or another in the paperwork before she glanced up at him, nonplussed.

“Not saying, alright. Just drop it. You’ll know what’s up when they get here. Just go with it.”

Preston had no idea what was going on and normally, he would have had a million questions about what was about to happen for Sophie.
