“He’s not such an idiot, after all.” She hung up, thinking how strange it was that working for Xavier had been this easy. It was like doing the easiest homework assignments, only she was making money doing it.
“Who are you talking about now?”
“Xavier.”
“I told you.” Cara was filing her nails. “I think he’s misunderstood.”
“And you would know.” Izzy rolled her eyes. Cara bought into the whole celebrity package, not that Xavier was a celebrity, or Tobias, for that matter, but as the brother of New York’s once most eligible bachelor—which was what Tobias had been until Savannah had snagged him—he was on her radar. “Whatever you read in the papers, is not what they’re really like.”
“I think you need to give him the benefit of the doubt.”
Izzy stretched, dismissing her friend’s sage advice with a yawn. She wasn’t looking forward to the all night revision she was going to have to put in for her test. Accounting was her least favorite subject, and she had left it until the very last minute to revise. If she failed, it would be her fault entirely. Not Xavier’s.
“Any chance I could get to meet him?” Cara asked.
“I don’t see him. He emails me the work. It’s a brilliant arrangement.”
“And what are you going to do when Savannah asks you to come back?”
“I’ll do both.” Because both jobs were easy. Looking after Jacob was fun, and working for Xavier was easy. She had no complaints.
