“Do you want to see what we’re doing?” she asks.
“Sure.”
Once Paige has my attention, she’s like a proud mama at her childrens’ talent show. She gives me a tour of the house, bragging about what she has completed and explaining what is in the works. An hour later, we’re back where we started.
“What are your plans for the library?” What I really want to know is if it will be complete before I go back to school.
“We won’t get to the library for a couple months. For now, it’s not a top priority.”
“Well, the master bedroom is my favorite.”
“Oh, really?” she asks with a sly look in her eyes.
My cheeks heat again. “It’s just, I really like the colors and design.”
“I’m just teasing you. I think your brother is rubbing off on me.” Paige laughs as she pulls me into a hug. “If you have time later this week, let’s grab lunch, okay? I have to get back to work.”
“Sure thing. If I’m still here.” I pull away, ready to clean the bathrooms, iron his damn sheets and get out of here.
Paige smiles. “I have a feeling you’ll find a reason to stay.”
Shaking my head, I walk back to Max’s lavatory. Paige has always been optimistic, but it will take more than a pot of gold to make me want to stay in this crappy job. Even if the boss is magically delicious.
