Page 2 of My Hottest Obsession

I grin, stopping in my chair so that I’m facing my desk. I lean forward, resting my elbows on the clear glass of my desk.

“You’re a genius,” I whisper, and she laughs.

“You should just let him take you out. Go to Oaks for a meal with him and let him pay,” she suggests.

“It would be the only way that I would be able to afford that place,” I whisper.

“What?” Adrien asks, coming to stand next to my desk again.

“I said go sign the Clark files, Boss Man.”

“Bullshit,” he says.

He smiles and leans against my desk. I sigh, turning in my chair and giving him my back.

“Do you want to come over for dinner tonight?”

“What time?” I whisper.

“Is he standing right behind you?”

“Uh-huh. I’m wearing practically nothing,” I whisper back, and she laughs.

“You’re evil.”

“What did you say?” Adrien barks, a hard warning tone to his words.

“I’m making plans for tonight. Did you need something?”

“Yeah, I need you to work late tonight.”

“Liar. I finished up everything for today half an hour ago.”

“I have more. We should really get a jump start on tomorrow.”

“Well, I already have plans now,” I tell him.

“With who?”

“None of your business.”

“You’ll have to cancel them then. I need you here.”

He heads back into his office, and I roll my eyes.

“I guess that’s a no to dinner then?” Lottie asks me, and I laugh.

“No, I’ll be there. Want me to bring anything?”

“Just yourself. Anson is going to pick up pizza, and we can hang out. He needs to do some work with Rhett.”

“How is my little baby doing?”

“She’s wonderful. She should be up from her nap soon.”

“Tell her that Aunt Goldie loves her more than anyone else,” I say, and she snorts.

“No, you can tell her yourself.”
