Page 77 of His White Moonlight
“Why are you asking?”
“I’m trying to decide if I should feel guilty about taking a two-hour paid nap.”
He grinned.“Definitely not.”
I couldn’t stop my answering smile.As I moved to leave, I remembered my conversation with Mom and turned back to him.
“Mom said that my paycheck would be deposited in an account she started for me ages ago.She told me to ask you about it.”
As soon as I said it aloud, I realized how weird that sounded.“Why would she tell me to ask you about it?”
“The paperwork is still at the big house.”
“Ah.”Having me ask him made more sense now, since I was living there and they were in the city.“Can I have it?”
“It’s at home.”
I rolled my eyes at him.“I didn’t mean right now.”
“Ah.”
His response got a second eye-roll from me before I left.I removed the Post-it note from the door.When I turned, I saw Miranda, the woman who’d pinned me to the bathroom door, sitting at my desk.
“Another long lunch,” she commented.“Anything exciting happen in there?”
“If you consider a nap exciting, then yes.”
She stood suddenly and forcefully.“He slept with you?”
“Don’t be dumb.That couch isn’t big enough for two.I napped.He worked.”
Seeing her slow inhale, I made an annoyed sound and gestured at myself.
“If you all want me to spend less time with him, maybe cause fewer injuries.Pity gets this poor little charity human a longer lunch break and access to Bennett’s napping couch.”
“People might be nicer to you if you weren’t such a bitch,” she said.
“Doubtful since none of you are interested in my personality, only my proximity to the Wulf brothers.Now, is there something you need, or are you just looking for a place to avoid working?”I motioned to Bennett’s closed office door.“He wasn’t angry when I left, if you want to give it a try.”
She scowled at me.“I thought you were supposed to keep us out.”
“Pfft.An entire office filled with resentful she-wolves is way more dangerous than an angry Bennett.”
“And why is that?He wasn’t even tolerating Aiden and Karter these last few months.”
“What do you mean?”
She shrugged cockily.“Ask him yourself if you’re brave enough.”
I spun on my heel and opened Bennett’s door, avoiding my palm.He was on the phone and looked at me.
“Did you do something to Aiden and Karter before I got home?”
“I’ll call you back in a few minutes,” he said.Once he hung up the phone, he added, “Come in and close the door, Wrenly.”
“I don’t think so.You tell me now, or I’ll ask people who will answer me honestly.”
He sighed.
