“Okay...”
I swallow hard.
I squint.
I can’t fucking believe this is happening.
“Does Oliver know about this?” I ask.
“It was his idea,” he answers. “He even offered to cover your raise out of his own paycheck. I guess you two made a really great team out there. He wants you — and only you.”
Blood rushes to my cheeks. “Is that right?”
“Liaison has always been a two-person job,” he muses. “Not sure why it’s taken us so long to do this. Seems... obvious.”
“I guess the previous Liaisons were all greedy bastards,” I joke.
Graham chortles. “Gonna let that one slide.”
“Thank you, sir.”
He tilts his head. “Was there something else we needed to talk about?” he asks.
Oh. Right.
Only that sordid, ongoing love affair with my superior.
Now, potentially, my full-time superior.
“No,” I answer. “I think that about catches us up.”
“Good.” He smiles. “Now, get out of here. Take the rest of the week off. You’ve earned it. Be back here bright and early Monday morning, ready to rock this convention.” He snaps his fingers. “That reminds me, I’m having breakfast with Jonah tomorrow.”
I chuckle. “Rock-music-Jonah-breakfast. Good system.”
He turns up his hands. “I learned from the best.”
I stand up with my heart still wild in my chest. “Thank you again, Graham,” I say. “This means... so much to me.”
Graham smiles. “I know you’ll do great, Paige,” he says.
“And I’ll, of course, find and train my replacement,” I add.
“I know you’ll do that, too.”
“And—”
“Paige.”
“Yes?”
“Go home.”
“Yes, sir.”
I close the office door behind me before releasing all the air from my lungs.
“Oh, boy,” I mutter.
