The rest of the weekend passed pretty uneventfully J continued reporting that Nix hadn’t been found yet, so we stayed ho out for food andBecause I knew J, I could tell that he was enjoying it, and when I tried to point this out to Serena, she just rolled her eyes and whinged that he should go horown up in, I don’t think she realised just how dangerous Nix was I shuddered to think what he would do if he found us, but I didn’t share this with her J didn’t push the point either In fact, he seeht; perhaps that hy he insisted on playing with Serena – to keep the focus off the reason ere stuck at home

Monday o to work J tried to talk round, so at nine o’clock the three of us arrived at work I had tried to convince hiuard but he refused to listen

Gina, our boss, greeted us with a suard but they never told me he was this hot” Gina was Blake’s sister; he must have told her about J She was a kick ass boss and I loved her hard Unfortunately, she had no filter and said whatever came to her in the moment

“Yeah, sorry but he will be hanging out here today,” I apologised

“No need to say sorry, darl Frankly, you’ve made my day I do love me some eye candy,” she said with a wink

Thank goodness J was standing outside and wasn’t privy to this conversation

We got to work, restocking the shelves and cleaning while J stayed outside forHe seerateful that I didn’t have to deal with him in the shop

I had a desperate need to know these details of his life

“So, darl, have you decided if you are going to head up to Brisbane?” Gina approached me

I sighed I hated this question “I think I ah I don’t want to I really want to hter, Crystal, is okay But I don’t want to leave you stuck for staff”

She waved her hand, “Don’t worry aboutout I just want to o tomorrow”

My eyes widened “Are you sure?”

“Yes, absolutely You stay away as long as you need, and your job will be here when you come back,” she promised me

I gave her a huge hug “Has anyone ever told you that you are the best boss?”
