“Hard-working ass. Come with me to my office before everybody comes back. I got a meeting for staff in forty minutes. I need you and your crew to sit in.”

“Okay.”

We walked to his office together. He went inside and closed and locked it.

My eyes went straight to his desk.

This man had three big shopping bags from Chanel and a bouquet of gold and red roses from A Million Roses.

“For you. Just to show you a nigga care bout you for real.” He handed me one of the bags.

I went through the bags. New season Chanel bags, shoes, slides, belts, and other accessories.

I blushed. “You didn’t have to do this, boy.”

“I did.”

“You didn’t.”

“Well, I did, so accept it. You mine in secret, I guess, so I’ma shower you… work girlfriend.”

I laughed and pulled him in for a hug. “Thank you… work boyfriend.”

“I ain’t gon’ play these games for long though.”

I sighed. “I know. For now, just take care of you.”

He kissed my lips. “I will.”

Someone started knocking on the door.

“I’ll take my stuff to the car, and I’ll see you in the meeting.”

“A’ight.”

I grabbed everything and started heading to the door, but he stopped me.

“Drop that nigga, Sade.”

I glared at him. “I need time.”

He didn’t say anything.

When I opened the door, Denise and Laila were standing there smiling, already nosy as hell, but not saying anything. Denise walked in, and Laila and I walked off.

“Oh, my God. You definitely not telling me something.”

“And I won’t be telling you anything. Now help me take this to the car.” I handed her the roses.

“You’re so sneaky. But whatever it is, I’m here for it.”

I laughed. “I bet you are.”

After dropping the gifts in my trunk, Laila and I headed back upstairs for the meeting.

The conference room was already filling up by the time we walked in. Contractors, assistants, property managers, marketing people, vendors. Everybody was seated around the long glass table, talking.

Vaughn wasn’t in there yet.
