“Sam, I want to tell you I think it’s a fantastic offer I didn’t want to be the one to have to tell you about it, but they wouldn’t let me off the hook So, please just hear me out before you answer”

She did her best toback at him as she waited for hi to drag out if she didn’t just face the music now

“Alex has coo work for CISS Noait, let me finish” He must have noticed her involuntary jerk, because he stood straighter, walking toward her

“They want me to leave XTX?” She asked incredulously This couldn’t be happening She had accomplished so much in her tenure at the coenerous offer You wouldn’t be leaving XTX, at least for now You would just be working for CISS, rather than employed directly at XTX You’ll be contracted out to XTX, and you will report to Xavier, still doing the sa you do today” He added quickly

Ok, so that wasn’t exactly what she was expecting

Her plan to freak out had been thwarted, and it took Sa what this reallystunned and hopeful

“So the gist of it is that I will technically not be employed by XTX; however, I will still work for XTX Did I understand you correctly?”

Logan was frozen in place, the expression on his face unreadable, but Sa for her reaction

“Did you hear ist of it” He confirmed “You’d be employed by CISS in the same capacity, as an executive, with the same salary, bonus, as well as benefits”

She liked the idea of it The execution n of the plan “Would I stillwould remain exactly the same; except you would report directly to Xavier and CISS is offering you a permanent position Here in Dallas”

That took her by surprise Her current position was only temporary, until the project was completed – launched and stabilized To know she would have a permanent position almost made the decision too easy She wouldn’t have to leave Dallas She could buy a house

“Dylan and Alex are excited about bringing you onboard”

“Sorry, I don’t knoho Dylan is” Sa into her ht be

“Dylan Thorandson He has taken a vested interest in CISS and decided to go into business with Alex, relocating here sohter has been accepted to UTD so he’s decided he wants to be closer to her”

Well, that explained it Standing, Saood to be true? Was this the answer to all of their problean felt about the situation, he hadn’t offered his opinion, but Sa of soht have professed his love for her just that , but that didn’t mean he wanted her permanently employed so close by What would happen if he decided to move on?

Suddenly, her stomach hurt She needed soan behind her, still staring in her direction Making a beeline for his bedroom, she found some clothes, a pair of shorts and a t-shirt she had left over last weekend, pulling theet soan asked, standing in the doorway of his bedroo, but she needed a fewfor a walk” She decided

~~~

Shit! Logan watched Sam walk out the front door as he reh the house, he made it to the kitchen, only to find the butter he had placed in the pan had disintegrated fro to do, he rinsed the pan, then started the process all over again He needed to eat, and hopefully Saot back

The fact that she went for a walk, and not a drive, left him with some hope Since her car wasn’t at his house, he was pretty sure she would be back

Pouring the eggs into the skillet, he turned the heat to low so they would slowly cook while he chopped the vegetables and the an admitted he wasn’t much of a cook, but when it ca a pretty decent o noas that he wasn’t all that hungry anymore
