CHAPTER 21

JADE RAN TO HER OFFICE to grab the McDermit contract. She glanced at the clock. Bryce was waiting for her. They’d gone to dinner together every night this week, but tonight was their first official no-pretense-of-working date. She was going to make him her favorite lasagna recipe. And after that… well… She took a moment to brush her hair and check her face before she met Bryce.

Lip gloss, I need lip gloss.

The nice shade of pink matched her cheeks perfectly. Happy with the results, she rushed off to see him. “Bryce, I thought you’d like to review the McDermit contract before we, oh—” Jade came to a screeching halt. Kenzie was sitting on the edge of Bryce’s desk, her hands on his shoulders, her back to Jade, and she was kissing Bryce.

Kenzie turned around and smiled at her. “I didn’t realize Bryce had company.”

Jade couldn’t force her lips to curve. It was all she could do to keep them from trembling. Bryce had lied to her. “I, uh, well I’ll leave this here for you later then.” She placed the file on the end of his desk and couldn’t look at either of them. She glanced at the door. “I… better get going.”

Bryce stood. “Kenzie will be leaving in a few minutes. I can go over the contract with you then.”

“That’s okay, really.” Her throat stung. “Just leave it on my desk for the morning. I’ve got to go. I have somewhere to be.” Which was anywhere but here. Jade smiled as best she could. She wasn’t going to let him see how much he’d hurt her. “Nice seeing you again, Kenzie.” Jade couldn’t leave the room fast enough.

Bryce followed her out to the elevator. “I thought we were doing dinner tonight at your place?”

Jade shook her head. “Sorry, I made other plans.”

“What kind of plans?”

When the door opened, she got onto the elevator.

Bryce held it open. “What kind of plans?”

Jade desperately wanted to get away from him. “I’ve got a date. I’m late.”

Bryce’s mouth dropped opened just before the doors closed.

I’m such an idiot. Jade berated herself. She’d fallen for “she’s my cousin” hook, line, and sinker. How could I be so stupid?
