For a beautiful assistant
Welcome to Braxton Development
Best, Ian
My smile widened as I took note of the word “beautiful” he had called ain I stuckscent, then picked up e
“Do you always call your assistants beautiful? Thank you very much for the flowers”
“No, because I only have one assistant who’s beautiful and you’re welcome 2 more days!”
After my as finished, I left Ian’s study and walked to the kitchen I stopped dead inat the table
“Well, well, I thought you erator and took out a bottle of water before replying to hi as Ian’s assistant Today’s my first day”
He looked atme a sinister look “Really? My son hired you?”
Re You’ve handled far worse “Yes, Ian did hire me Now if you’ll excuse an to walk out of the kitchen
“You’re not excused, little lady Get back here!” he exclaimed
I slowly turned around and stared at the so-called ot up from his chair and walked over to me
“How old are you?”
“Twenty-three,” I replied
“You’re just a baby No wonder whyyou around If it’s money you want, name your price”
His words were unbelievable totime bomb ready to explode any second
“I don’t have a price, Richard Ian was kind enough to take iven me a chance to start my life over, and I will always be indebted to hiirl My son will break you When he tires of you, which he will, he’ll break your spirit and then he’ll go on with his life as if you never existed”
“Dad of the year, right? You taught hih!” Ian yelled
I quickly turned around to find Ian standing there with anger displayed all over his face “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
I couldn’t answer him because it was apparent that he walked in on what I said, and he didn’t hear the rest of the conversation I shookinto his shoulder as I walked by As I went down to the beach to try and cal mad at the way that man talked to me and also at how Ian walked in and yelled atwhat his father had said
“He’s an assle; what can I say?” Ian said as he walked up behind s he said to me”
“Then tell me, Rory,” he whispered as he put his hands on my shoulders
