“Has anyone knocked?”
“No.”
“Then, I’d call it effective.I’ll be back in ten.”
I hung up before he could say anything else and happily window-shopped my way back to the office.
Bennett’s door was closed, and the note remained affixed.However, the blinds to his office were open in the section that gave him a direct line of sight to my desk, which meant he knew I’d returned.
I purposely didn’t make eye contact as I set my to-go bag down and took out his strawberry dessert.
A hand reached around me and plucked the bag from my grasp.
“Inside,” Bennett said.
I hadn’t even heard him open the office door.Smoothing out my unhappy expression, I turned around and followed him into his office.
“Close the door,” he said.
Obviously, I thought.
If he were smart, he would install one of those devices that automatically closed the door on its own.Maybe even something that would deliver a mild shock when someone knocked on it.
“Sit.”He pointed at the chair across from his desk and started taking out the food I’d bought.“Why didn’t you order delivery for yourself?”
I accepted my lunch from him and sat.
“Because I wanted a break.The number of women I’ve fielded for you is impressive.They weren’t all bad.The receptionist seems nice.”
He didn’t comment.
“Personally, I’m not a fan of Milena or Andri.By the way, Andri said she had a contract that needed your attention.Not sure how real it was but figured she could email if it was important.”
“It’s not.All contracts that come in are forwarded to me digitally.”
I nodded and watched him sit with his fancy strawberry-laden treat in a cup.
“So what am I going to do once I’m done with the expense evaluation?”I asked.“I doubt it will last me the rest of the day.”
“There are more subsidiaries.”
“Yaaay,” I said flatly.
“I could use your help taking meeting notes this afternoon if you’d rather do that,” he said as he scooped out his first bite.
“Does it include protecting your virtue?Why are they so obsessed with you?”
The scowl he gave me carried a hint of hurt.
“I mean, besides the obvious—wealthy heir to Wulf Enterprises and likely future pack Alpha.”
“Isn't that enough?”he asked.
I shrugged indifferently and started eating my lunch.
“What are the meetings about?”I asked between bites.
“Buying companies.Some will be our people pitching companies to acquire, and some will be with company owners to get to know their businesses more in depth.”
