“Yeah, all the pro bono stuff.”
Reuben sighed. “I’m fine, Cat.”
“You look terrible,” Cat told him. “Pale and tired. And you’re cranky. Crankier than usual. Even more than McGrumpface, and that’s saying something.”
McGrumpface was her bodyguard, Rafael. And he rarely cracked a smile.
But then, neither did Reuben.
“Cat is going to worry about you until you get some help. So, get some help,” Alejandro ordered.
Cat smiled at him.
Fuck. Seemed he was getting an assistant.
How had his life turned out like this?
Working for a cutthroat, savage mastermind.
And then, there was her husband.

Faith had her head down a toilet when she heard goats bleating.
Straightening, she dropped the toilet brush into the toilet.
Fudge knuckles.
Pulling off her gloves, she grabbed her phone out of her pocket as the goats kept bleating.
She saw it was Asta from the employment agency calling and quickly answered.
“Hello, this is Faith.”
“Faith! I have it! A job for you.”
Faith stood. “You do? What sort of job?”
“Personal assistant for a lawyer.”
She bit her lip. “Asta, you know I don’t have any experience as a personal assistant. And for a lawyer? Wouldn’t they want someone who knew something about the law?”
All she knew was how not to break it. Faith would never do that.
She was a good girl.
“That’s the great thing. He’s desperate.”
“Well. That’s awesome.” She felt so great about herself now.
“Isn’t it?” Asta gushed. “He’s gone through three assistants in the last two months.”
What the hell? How was that even possible?
“Who is this man?” she asked. Suddenly, cleaning toilets wasn’t looking so bad.
“His name is Reuben Jones. I’ll be honest; he’s kind of intimidating and scary. Not that I’ve met him, but I’ve heard stories. Anyway, that doesn’t matter. What does matter is that he’s gone through everyone we had who was available . . . and willing. So that leaves you! Isn’t that great?”
