Chapter14

“My brother knows I’m working for you now,” Danielle said as she sat down across from Victor, on the other side of his desk. Victor raised an eyebrow at her pronouncement.

“What brought that about? Or were you just ready to tell him?” He didn’t suspect that was the case.

“He went to see me at my old job and found out I hadn’t worked there in a month,” Danielle admitted, smiling wryly. “He doesn’t know about...anything else. Just that I’m managing your charity work.” Victor nodded.

“What was his reaction?” Danielle grimaced.

“He wanted me to try and get you involved in business dealings,” she said distastefully. “I told him no, but he made me promise to think about it.” Victor mirrored her dismayed expression.

“I appreciate you being upfront about it,” he said with a little smile. “It couldn’t have been easy for you to deal with him.” Danielle shrugged.

“He can’t make me do anything,” she said. “He’s my brother—he’s not my dad. He might have helped me out from time to time, but he did it because we’re family—and I’ve helped him out too. So we’re on equal footing as far as I’m concerned, and I don’t owe him anything like that.” Victor nodded approvingly.

“I’m glad you don’t feel obligated to him,” Victor said. “Are you worried something else might come up?” Danielle considered that for a moment and then shrugged again.

“If it does, I will just have to deal with it,” she replied. Victor smiled a bit more broadly.

“I wanted to talk to you about something,” Victor said; his heart beat a bit faster in his chest as he spoke. He had hoped to talk to Danielle about the revelation he’d had before, but her news for him had forestalled the mission. Over the weekend they’d been apart, he had thought about what he had in mind, and what he should do about the situation between them—and he had decided that the only way to resolve the situation was to confront it head on.

“What’s up?” Danielle picked up her notebook and pen, ready to take notes. “Did you get a tip on a charity or something?” Victor shook his head.

“It’s about us—I’d hope you don’t need to take notes,” Victor said, keeping his voice as light as he could. “I want to talk to you about the other part of our working relationship.” Danielle’s eyes widened slightly, and she put her notebook aside, looking at him with a bit of trepidation.

“What did you want to talk about?” Victor pressed his lips together and tried to think of all of the good sentences, phrases, words he’d come up with to handle this particular moment between them—and for a moment his mind went blank. He took a quick breath and decided that it was stupid to even plan the conversation anyway.

“I like you,” Victor said. It sounded so simple—so juvenile—and yet it was the simplest way he could say what he wanted to say. “More than as my employee, more than as someone I have fantastic sex with pretty much daily.
