Chapter Five

The next afternoon when Lucas and Nathaniel came strolling back into the office, the look of pure, black fury on Nathaniel’s face was hard to miss. He walked straight up to the front desk, snatched Susan up out of her seat, and kissed her hard.

When he finally let her take a breath, he looked deep into her eyes. She wondered what in the world had made him so mad. Had she done something? “Nathaniel, what is it? Have I done something to upset you?” She should have known that happily ever after only existed in fairy tales. Oh well, she figured it was better that things broke off now before she was even more invested in the situation.

“Stop!” he barked. “I can smell your fear. You should know by now I would never hurt you.”

“Put me down, you’re hurting me!”

Walter stepped out of his office. “Susan, Nathaniel, a moment in my office now, please.” Although spoken calmly, Susan got a glimpse of her employer’s eyes as she headed for the office and could see the dark storm clouds building. Lovely, was he going to fire her?

Susan dropped her eyes to the floor and clasped her hands in front of her. What was she going to say? She had no idea why Nathaniel had acted the way he did. Prior to him coming in, she had been sitting at her desk, doing her work, minding her own business.

“Walter, I think it might be best if I turned in my resignation,” she choked out in a hoarse whisper.

Total silence met her. The only thing she could hear was her own labored breathing as she felt the tears pricking the backs of her eyes. Just hold off a little while longer. Just don’t break down here where they both can see you.

Then, in a tone pitched low and soothing, she heard Walter’s voice. “Susan, please look at me.” When she did, the tears were forming fast in her eyes and she blinked several times in an attempt to hold them back. “What did my numbskull brother do to you? Do you need me to call Sissy?” Walter would be the
