Rosslyn dragged herself into the office, knowing there was going to be a lot of chatter about Liz’s termination. She wanted to tell them the truth behind it, but that would put her head on the chopping block. She wasn’t sure if Uncle Max suspected she knew or not. Just because they worked in the same office didn’t mean they’d become each other’s confidant.

But somehow that was exactly what she had become to Liz. It must’ve been very difficult working so close with Max and not having anyone to vent to after she and Sam broke up. With Rosslyn coming in from out of town, Liz probably assumed she didn’t know anyone. Lucky for Liz, Rosslyn wasn’t fond of Max and Laura either. Although she’d prefer not having any other reason to dislike them than what she’d already had. All negativity did was suck the life out of a person.

This weekend was exactly what she’d needed to recharge her batteries. Of course no batteries were needed with Charles. The connection between them was . . . amazing, yet scary. She didn’t want it to end. Now back in the city, she was afraid it would. Being here was like throwing ice water on yourself.

“Rosslyn, come in my office,” Max barked on the intercom.

And here we go. She rushed to his office, but even if she ran, it never would be fast enough for him. Forcing a smile, Rosslyn said, “Good morning, Mr. Grayson. How was your weekend?”

“I didn’t call you in here for small talk. Liz is gone. There will be a woman arriving from the temp agency within the hour. I want you to show her around. Understood?”

“Yes, Mr. Grayson. Anything else?”

“Laura and I will be traveling this week. Just because I’m not here to watch you, doesn’t mean you can screw off.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it.” In a normal situation, she would wish the them safe travels or ask where they were going. Nothing normal there. Anything she said wouldn’t be accepted as the kind gesture it was meant to be. She’d probably be accused of prying into his personal life. And I don’t want to know anything about that. “Is that all?”

“No. I want to confirm that no one is aware of our . . . connection.”

“I haven’t said a word.”

“Good. You’re not as daft as I thought.”

Gee, thanks. But you’re an even bigger asshole than I thought. Almost chocking on her forced smile, Rosslyn asked, “Would you like me to bring your coffee in now?”

“You should’ve done that when you came in this time.”

Biting her lip she said, “I’m sorry. I’ll get it right away.” As she scurried off to make it, she thought to herself, How is it no one has poisoned him yet? She shuddered at the thought. Usually she was kind and understanding, but he was really pushing it. Was this all a test to see how much she’d take?

Rosslyn wasn’t sure what Max’s problem was. When her grandfather died, everything was left to him, the business and the money.
