one.

“Okay, you’ve passed the test.”

“Thanks for the vote of confidence,” he said with a laugh.

“Hey, I want our customers to feel important.”

He sat in an armchair, and I took out the tacos. There were three of them each packed on a separate paper plate. I also grabbed the bottle and hurried to one of the shelves where I kept champagne glasses.

He laughed when he saw them.

“What? Skye and I like to celebrate milestones. But maybe let’s open it once we’re done with the boxes.”

“You got it, boss.”

“There’s a thought. Me bossing you around. Hmm...that has so much potential.”

He cocked a brow.

“Oops, did I say the last part out loud?” I teased.

“Yeah you did.”

“Well, I didn’t mean to.” He was still looking at me expectantly, so I added, “Hey, let’s eat fast so you can start on the boxes. No slacking. I’m the boss, remember?”

Chuckling, he bit into a taco. We both ate in silence, practically inhaling our food.

“These tacos are so good,” I said once I was done, putting the empty plate on the coffee table. Liam mirrored my movement, as he finished too. “Kevin’s really talented.”

Liam stilled. “You know him?”

“Yes.”

When I didn’t say anything more, he asked, “Did you two...date or something?”

“No. Why?”

“During the ‘get to know each other’ dinner, I saw a message from him. It had heart emojis.”

I blinked, caught off guard. He was looking at me expectantly. I wasn’t sure what to say.

“So, we didn’t date, but...I did ask him out. He just turned me down.”

“What?”

“Said we’re better off as friends. So...we’re friends, I guess. He keeps asking my advice about how to date other women.”

“He’s a fucking moron.”

I smiled, feeling a bit self-conscious.

Liam rose from his armchair, sitting on the armrest of mine.

“But you asked him out,” he said, more to himself. “Do you still have feelings for him?”

His jaw clenched. His eyes were hard.

“No, of course not. Unless you count feeling inadequate every time he messages me.”
