Her laugh sent relief coursing through him. “Yeah, it really would.”

He hesitated and then said, “I can set up Lincoln with a home office. Ask him not to come into the office unless there are meetings or -”

“No. That’s not fair to him and besides, he doesn’t know that I know… I don’t want things to get any weirder than they already are, okay? I know he’s your best friend, but please don’t tell him that I know he can smell my – my attraction to him.”

“I won’t. I promise.”

“Thanks.” She stood and gave him another faint smile. “I’d better get back to work. Sorry for all the drama this morning.”

“It’s fine.”

“Bria’s doing really well. I know it’s only her second day but she’s smart and picks things up quick.”

“Good, I’m glad.”

He waited until Rosalie left his office before moving to his own chair and sinking into it. He stared out the window. Bria was smart and doing a good job…it wasn’t a mistake to hire her.

No, not at all. Every boss should hire someone they’ve seen naked. It’s a brilliant idea.

He groaned and quickly opened his email. He really needed to stop thinking about a naked Bria.
