tea from my favorite coffee and tea shop with a cinnamon raisin bagel in my hand. I walked
through security, scanning my badge, and smiled at Glenda, the receptionist. She’d been with the
company since Jackson started a few years ago. Falling in line with the other two women, we
entered the elevator, and I asked for floor fourteen. The doors closed, and I took a sip, taking a
look at my watch as the door made it to my stop. I headed to my office to gather the final details
to present to Jackson. Reece was meeting me at the venue to do a walk-through and report back
to Teddy.
“Morning, Arianna,” Tisha said.
“Morning, Tisha. How are you?” I asked.
“Good. I saw the race. Sorry I missed it.”
“No worries. Are you coming to the charity ride?” I asked.
“With bells on,” Tisha replied.
“Awesome! Can you meet me in my office so we can run through my schedule?”
“Yep, let me grab my notepad,” Tisha answered.
I opened the door of my office, gasping in surprise. The entire room was filled with
flowers. I was completely thrown off. Tisha came up behind me and stood in shock.
“Wow,” Tisha said.
“You didn’t know about this?”
“No. Who do you think set this up?” Tisha asked, walking toward the red roses sitting on
the glass table.
“I can guess one name,” I mumbled to myself.
“You think it was Kash?” she asked.
