“I’m sorry. I got back together with Charles.”
“I thought you got murdered or something.”
“Charles is not a murderer, I promise.”
“Well, obviously since you’re here.”
“Who are the roses from?”
“Jordan.”
“The guy from the club? Did you finally?”
I shake my head just as Nicky walks by and then backtracks.
“Emma, those are personal. I’ll allow them for the day, but you need to take them home.”
“Thanks, Nicky.”
Angie mouths “What a dick.” after Nicky leaves.
“I’m not going to date him.”
“Why not? He seems great.”
I whisper into her ear about his familial relationship with Nicky.
“You’re shitting me?”
“Nope. I find a good guy, and he’s related to the devil.”
“Why would it be a problem, anyway?”
“It’s too familiar. I can’t date him.”
“When are you going to tell him?”
“Whenever I speak to him.”
“Aren’t you going to call about the roses?”
“I’m an idiot. I gave Jordan my number but forgot to get his. I’ll call his office, but I might not get him. He’s pretty busy. He worked yesterday.”
“Sounds like the perfect catch to me. You sure you don’t want to give it a try?”
“I like him, but it’s all wrong. I need to end it now.”
I sit down at my desk and type in Jordan’s company, Grayson Enterprises, in the search bar. I found it online. I dial the number, and a receptionist answers.
“Grayson Enterprises, can I help you?”
“Can I speak to Jordan Grayson?”
“Is he expecting your call?”
“I’m not sure. You can tell him it’s Emma Stanford.”
“Please hold Miss Stanford.”
