Double Daddy Trouble

Lee

Later that evening Lee walked into Brooke’s office without bothering to knock. Damn, she looked fucking edible in those jeans that hugged her ass. He had to remind his cock to stay in check.

He cleared his throat, forcing her to look up from her desk. He wondered if she had been there since he left in the morning.

“How was your walk?” she asked.

He stopped. “Missed me?”

She scowled. “Not at all. I’ve been working.”

“How do you know what the assignment is?” he asked, curious about what she had done all day. The hike had cleared his head. He needed it. It felt good to get away from the house.

“I’ve getting acquainted with StarCon.” She smirked. “But since you’re here, why don’t you tell me what the artwork entails for your new project?” Her eyebrows rose.

Lee folded his arms across his chest. He couldn’t blame her for being hostile all the time. The situation was out of control, but he knew there was no going back. Once he had supported Tyler, he was in a hundred percent. The farther he walked in the forest, the more certain he was that this was going to work.

“First I want to make sure you were given a proper orientation to the company from human resources. Did they call you and go over everything on the phone?”

Brooke nodded. “They did. The whole thing seems a little ridiculous though. Why would you do that when we’re all the way out here in the wilderness?”

“It’s not ridiculous. I’ll tell you what happened. A couple years ago our payroll department was hacked.”

Brooke’s eyes widened. “Wh-what?”

“Yeah.” He nodded. “So, we take all employee information very seriously. Don’t worry. That’s not going to happen again. We’ve added firewalls. Whoever the hacker was, was pretty clever.”

“Really?” She tilted her head. “But you never caught them?”

“No. Never. Anyway, if you’ve gone through HR, I think we should talk about what’s next for you. Wouldn’t you like to know what you’re designing?” he asked.

She looked around. “This office is over-the-top. The house is over the to

p. Everything about this arrangement is crazy. I can’t imagine what you want me to design.”

“Speaking of our location, I just need to know you have everything you need to complete the project.” Along with the design table, she also had a new laptop, phone, and the latest design programs.

“I can’t think of anything else. I just need you to tell me the project. Is it a video game? One of your new apps?” She looked agitated. “I’m sure it’s going to have all the bells and whistles you want.”

“Is there something wrong with the products StarCon Global creates?” he questioned.

“No. I just can’t believe I’m going to help you make millions of dollars after all this, but that’s the price of my deal, so just go ahead and tell me. What’s the newest and greatest thing that will make you and Tyler ultra-rich.”

“Brooke, it has nothing to do with making us rich.”

She huffed. “Likely.”

He sat in the soft white leather chair in front of her desk. “Would you like for me to explain it to you?”

“I’m listening.”

“You are competing for the winning design of the Dream with Wings Foundation.”

“A foundation?” Her beautiful lips parted with surprise.

He felt his chest tighten. Even the smallest movements she made, drove him wild.

“Yes. It’s our children’s foundation. The pinnacle of what we are trying to achieve at StarCon Global. Yes, we are fortunate to have padded bank accounts. Tyler and I know how lucky we are. We don’t take it for granted. Over the years we’ve tried to figure out how we could give back. What the right way was to show our gratitude. This idea has been in the works for years. That’s why it’s so important that we get it right. The branding of the Dreams with Wings Foundation has to show the world that if they give to our foundation, whether it’s through time or money, that they are part of a cause greater than them. They are part of a family.”
